This isn't so much a brick as the Wing or other counterparts. But I still ask myself how come people still wanna have to use two hands to type a text? You know you don't really need this phone, you just want it because it's nice looking and it's got cool different features like the little control sensor-looking deal..

well 3.2MP is ok with this kind of phone do you imagine using a bulky phone such as this as a camera phone? besides its competing with nokia's E90 a serious phone this one... the lag is out of the question since this a prototype..though i see a lot of advantages in using Windows as its OS because of its purpose though it seems that using a more glorified symbian UIQ version is a lot better...windows OS has a lot of buggy feature inherent to the OS itself... it should have been OK if it wasnt SE :(

From my experience it's the opposite of what prashant said.

The guy in the Video doesn't seem to know how to use a smartphone properly. May be a marketing guy with little knowledge. Sony UI seems to be very slow too. Well, we can disable the UI, if it is useless. What I want is amazing specs X1 with WM, not with stupid modification, which let the phone down in performance.

What a very beautiful device with a very ugly interface inside!

the overall performance should be improvedthere by commercial. it is amazing 3.0 inch WVGA touch display with this arc slide, then this small size. In japanese market, there are several WVGA model, but all hand set are too big and more slow. This X1 could change industry's power balance. let's see.

the speed will improve, this is not the final version, and the drivers of the gpu are not finaliced

what a bad video. Too much lighting. Anyway, I agree. WM devices are still not fantastic. But, SE has made the right move by moving away from their UIQ Symbian OS. I think I'll wait for the Nokia E71. If its real.

Is there a way to switch from Windows Mobile to anything else?

I just hate any MS product (debian)

A bit disappointed with the interface. Could have been more faster and more responsive.

Take note with the iphone!

tell me which phone you have that can act as USB HOST?
only windows powered mobile can do that.

tell me which touch screen device that has right click or context menu.....again, only windows mobile can do that. and many more.

well if u think windows sucks....then you never had a windows mobile device before. windows offers many verity of software and freedom and it kicks Symbian OS, iphone, or any other os other their. and for the graphic issue.. it been said many times before and i will say it again...its a prototype...and i will also define it for you, prototype is "A first or experimental working model of something to be manufactured..and used in advance of production to allow demonstration, evaluation, or testing of the product"..

However, i think this will be the best phone for 2008..and it will become a standard in high end phones..such as N95

P.S. while the PSP had a great GUI (eye candy), it did suck when it comes to adding software and customization...

it is too SLOWWWWWWWWWW

windows sucks
the device it self rocks
but windows ruined it

sony ericsson should programe thier one software for touch screen devices - No Symbian - No windows - they suck

the softwares in all other phones are fast, powerful and safe

they should make a software that similar to PSP's software, easy and powerfull for there next touch screen phones
