What???? No M2..that sucks...they should've put microSD/M2 like on the K850i...XPERIA looks awsome but windows and 3.2 MP camera =s ...I'll have to really think about it...think I'm going to stick to symbian P5...

hey guys,
it is a nice device (the look)
i am a loyal Nokia guy, tried the SE but found it a bit Simple and lake for a lot of stuff, but after the iPhone been introduced all companies now trying to make sth like it, SE and Nokia and others, but this phone looks Very slow compared to other devices and it is nothing compared to the iPhone with its UI...
so good job SE but i don't think that u can over top the iPhone!!!
let's wait the 'Tube' from Nokia and compare between all!!
but for me i guess the iPhone will always Top others!!

Why would you need 5 megapixel... This is only beneficial if you print the pics out as a phone can only display a picture at 2mp quality and can only send mms of 2mp quality.

This is a PROTOTYPE! Will you all please get a life and realise that this will be nothing like the final commercial release.

I have every faith that the UI will be much quicker when this is released to the public.

I work for O2 and get test models of alot of phones and all of which do not compare to the final release.

wait for the gsmarena review before being so cynical.

Well i am a loyal SE fan but i after many the many handsets they have i thought this one would be quicker, but still very slow UI... Every function has a small lag... Starting to think the iPhone might be better (Very Quick)... Plus after having used all the P series phones and the Symbian UI, not sure how i will adapt to the Windows interface...Might just wait to check out the P5

so.. SE finally follow the trend..
first, they put the red and green buttons back ("call" and "end-call" buttons).
second, they give up the M2 format and use the more popular MicroSD format.
third, they finally apply 3.5mm audio jack.
next?

Based on the video I think the interface speed is ok except maybe for the panel part which is a bit laggy, but that is extra. I've been using windows mobile and I think it is faster than mine. I do agree that the iphone's interface looks better but I think its more for casual users. At least the X1's interface looks better than any current nokia phones (nokia users may think different though). This device is very nice for people who uses windows mobile. As for the phone's design, it looks wonderful and compact in size.

$k, the X1 is targeting a different set of users than the Iphone, basically those who want more than a glorified ipod. It would be competing with the E90 Communicator. The time when Iphone has the ability to provide as many apps as winmo or Symbian, play mp3 ringtones, A.F, QWERTY keyboard, not so recessed audio port, some office support is when i would take it seriously. basically the iphone is only a showoff device not something for the serious business user and is nowhere near the X1's league

I'm no Apple fanboy, but the potential of the iPhone is much more than this. Apparently the iPhone boasts a 667 MHz and dedicated 3D accelerators. 3rd party applications are dime a dozen. I expect the 3g one to add GPS too. It will be "the phone to have". Of course second always to the Nokia NSeries ones. So I see the Xperia being a bit inferior to the iPhone. May the bashing begin !

We've already seen the panels interface running smoothly at launch, but they wouldn't show anything else which I guess means it was only that part working well at the time.
This one seems to have drivers turned off, which may be simply to make it more stable for testing, rather than a fancy UI. Think Safe Mode on Windows, doesn't look good but it's stable for testing and problem solving.
That's my guess anyway.
Also, the A100/200 phones have a QVGA screen, this has WVGA which is 5 times the number of pixels (76,800 vs 384,000)to render so hardware acceleration would be a massive help!

looks really cool and nice. But like everyone said ... its slow but hopefully it will be solved when the real thing comes out later this year. However, kinda wasted because when you really explore the phone, you get the the same old boring WM interface. Anywaz good work from SE and I would be looking into P5 before deciding though.

I dont see anything wrong with the software being slow, as you can see at the start this was only a demo and there will be upgrades.... just great options and nice mobile... cant wait to get my hand on it..... and for those Nokia lovers... at-less the software never crashed like E90.... took a friend of mine almost 8 months to get the software issue cleared after he purchased an E90.... and to make things more clear... almost everyone had the software issue... with E90..
