Here we go again How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you describe something as 'crap' ?! I've been using symbian,WM and osx Let me tell you what i use my phones for and i will tell for how they compare. Phone calls - all have similar call reception but n95's hard keypad is easier to use. Browsing: Xperia wins hands down, n95's services browser is not at all good and opera 8.65 for symbian is quite poor. Iphones safari can lock up but it is quite good
---Music:all good
.---Messenger:wm rocks, Symbian almost working good, a few bugs on my nokia, like sound going off even if you have windows open, iPhone - well you can join and chat, but if you open any other application you will be signed out, what a joke...
---Background profile changer:WM,Symbian both OK, wm a lot more can be customized, iPhone, can't have background applications...
---remote desktop:well here are pretty same, except symbian ---qwerty:well i have to have qwerty, just how i use messenger 24/7 and all, no iPhone with qwerty:)
---everything changable/hackable:only WM:)
---networking:wm perfect, like laptop, Symbian have smthing half functional called SymSMB, well iPhone maybe can have network application so you see file, but no real network, as it has no background applications, and therefore can't stay connected
---multitasking:well prety much covered before, only iPhone hasn't got it, only one application can be open...- that is what make iPhone phone, and not smartphone. You can't even open google maps to look for street name, than google about that street or and go back to google maps, as every application is closing in between... I call that pathetic, can't live with that, this is one of main reasons not going for iPhone, strange how people who are against iPhone don't even know this is the main downfall...
Only Windows Mobile is replecement for laptop, no other OS.
It is however true many don't need all that functions, but just stop calling wm bad OS, because you dont need or understand how to use it. You can have nokia s60 or iPhone with lesser functions and but better looking interface.
Though if i was one of you, not needing these things i would buy LG viewty, has everything iPhone does, even the looks+real camera(like the one you buy seperatly)- it costs 180 or less:) and it is not the only one.

Thanx for your opinion, but have you ever used this phone? Sure, it does have some built issues, mine had a chip and was replaced under warranty in under an hour (vodacom SA). The OS, well it's winmo and it's not pretty, but the customising options are endless from ROM's, to radio upgrades, panels, UI's and just everyday apps that makes this phone a joy to use. Yeah sure SE failed us miserably with the phones software but thanx to the guys over at xda and other sites we're truely experiencing a wonderful mobile experiance. We now truely have a mini laptop in our hands. The screen is great for web surfing and watching HD movies on the go, it's a truely worthy successor for my SE K750i ;). Oh yeah, surfing the web, watching movies and playing music sucks battery life. My old K750 went for 5 days on one charge with just making calls and texting, but as soon as used the internet I drained the battery in half a day, my X1 lasts longer :). This is the case with all mobile devices, data chows battery life. I know the learning curve is steep , if ur not used to winmo, I know, but once u get the phone to do what you want to, it turns out to be bloody brillaint! ...and no I don't work for SE. So pls grow a brain dude, it'll help!

I can not fully agree that X1 is the worst SE phone ever. But certainly if we consider the price and the anticipation, it may feel like that for many people.
No wonder that X1 was selected:
˝X1 is one of the biggest flop of 2008!˝
˝It may have been the most eagerly awaited telephone of the year... and it may well have been the most disappointing telephone of the year, too. Introduced in February with (almost) operational prototypes, the phone has only just become available in stores. Its “revolutionary” Windows Mobile interface was not only slow, but it also wasn’t any more functional than other operating systems from HTC, Samsung or Asus. And since there’s only one Windows Mobile model from Sony Ericsson, developments for the proprietary interface, quite naturally, are scarce. What was supposed to be the ultimate smartphone is at best only passable, and at worst a total failure.˝

last few weeks, i'm in dilemma choose between
X1 or HTC TP.
but finally i choose X1, due the price matters. At Malaysia
RM2180 for X1
and
RM2650 for HTC TP.
and the best things X1 has 3.5mm head jack. So i can plug in my Sony noise canceling headphone.
now i'm very happy using it and also my 1st time using WinMo.
Cheers.

Disadvantages:
1: poor reception
2: lousy camera
3: unreliable OS - WinMo
4: outrages quality control - cracked cases
5: bad battery performance
6: slow performance
7: xxK color :)))
8: limited memory (internal)
Advantages:
1: SE has an excuse - made by HTC
2: SE promised never let HTC make another SE model
3: not made by Sagem (like other SE models)
4: new model is announced already (Idou)
5: most people not surpriced
6: offered free with return/echange policy
7: slow sales (not many people got burned with this model)
8: it used to be very expensive
No wonder SE loses money each quarter.
