Since I am looking for a new cellphone anyway, this might be the first smart phone that actually can live up to my expectations
I am really looking forward to this 8)
One question though:
Does anyone know how to connect headphones/ a cable headset to the HTC Touch Diamond/Pro... the USB connector on the Diamond shows a USB and headphone icon. But I wonder how that works...
Regarding the X1 from SE: It looks like a nice device. Two things that bother me very much though: 1st) The display resolution with 800*480 pixels is nowhere standard for PPCs and might cause a lot of trouble with 3rd party applications. 2nd) This is the first smartphone coming from SE and I honestly doubt that their first generation with the integration of the Windows Mobile OS will hold up to standards you can see with HTC smartphones...
Finally a smartphone that might live up to my expectations of one...
Anyway, from what I read and saw about the HTC Touch Diamond the TouchFlo 3d UI seems to make the device laggy when changing views and power it on and off. I hope this will be fixed soon.
Regarding the SE X1, I have some doubts that SE can deliver very well with its first Windows Mobile based SmartPhone... but who knows. Another problem I see is the very uncommon display resolution with the X1; there might be a lot of problems with common PPC applications.
u still want this iphone clone?
this phone looks like a toy! just like the iphone!
take a look at Sony X1 with 3" WVGA compare this 2.8" 640x480!
the X1 is a man's phone, not some toy or iphone clone!
Funny ... my first thought when the Sony X1 was announced was: uh oh, another iPhone clone.

Hmmm ... since "premiumness" doesn't appear to be a real word, I think the X1 must define it rather than redefine it.
From a design perspective, I think the Touch Pro is a great looking device. Better than the X1 IMO. As is the Touch Diamond. If, as Duncan suggests, the Touch Pro has solved the lag problems that plague the Diamond's implementation of the Touch Flo 3D interface, HTC could have a real winner on their hands.

I see a lot of toys in both actually. Besides, what's wrong with toys? I like toys. My iPhone is a toy and I'm enjoying the heck out of it this year, more so than I have with any WM device since I got my Toshiba e830 in early 2005. Next year I'll buy a different toy (if I can wait that long)- maybe iPhone, maybe WM, maybe Android- who knows?

You're kidding me, right?
If you're not, are you going to throw out your monitor on your desk because it's got lots of plastic? Or your keyboard? Or your mouse? The ones you're using to type this response?
If you prefer the feel of metal, that's fine, and you're welcome to state that. But please don't ridicule the opinions of those who find interest in this device, it's really not cool. Both plastic and metal have their advantages; plastic is lighter, while metal has a more rugged feel. However, depending on the design, plastic devices are often more resistant to damage during a fall; metal has a tendency to be dented.
Please continue the discussion on its merits. Thanks.

I don't think Janak was suggesting you not make comparisons. He was suggesting you could do it without putting others down.
Regarding the two devices being discussed -- I think they both have great potential. I'll have to play with them when they become available. The Xperia is longer and slightly wider, but a hair thinner. I'm not sure I'll like the interface on either one. We'll have to see. For me, it will come down to performance, keyboard feel, screen quality, etc. I'm not going to prejudge either one, even with a glowing review of the Xperia from BengalBoy.
As far as SE not being able to get it right on the first try, I believe they're doing Xperia with help frim HTC. I'm not sure that HTC still gets it right, despite several generations of WM phones. Just ask all the TyTN II owners with video driver problems.
