If you are wating for an EXPERIA X1 - General Topics

Your wait just got longer. Its been delayed to Feb 2009.

that phone was ugly anyways, i think i'll stick with my kaiser

I think that the drivers are not available yet LOLOL

Still on track!
Not delayed
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/sony-ericsson-says-xperia-x1-is-still-on-track-for-this-year/

31th of December will still be in 2nd half of 2008 but will most certainly be a long wait...
But then again maybe the X1 will be the first flagship from Sony Ericsson that will not be delayed - you never know... I wouldn't bet my money on it

heh, i think that kaiser looks just like a brick in compare to xperia. se is beautifull and i swap to it only if it will be possible

Whatever...you can always wait for tech to get better. That's a long wait, so it's not even worth mentioning really.

I want it, but I want to keep my kaiser too . . What to do what to do. . .

I really cannot see any reason what so ever for changing the Kaiser with the X1. I think the screen and the camera on the Kaiser is very nice and basically isn't that the only differences on the two models apart from the design?

Hmm would still stick with the Kaiser...

Another good reason to "trade up" is...
For us in the US, and on T-Mobile, we will not be able to utilize 3G when it is completely rolled out, right? I heard that T was rolling it out in the 1700 MHz band. If that is the case, then no 3G for TyTN users.

well i'm for the looks for the xperia...altho it doesnt tilt as much as the TytnII i'd still want it...the silver...mmm...reminds me of my old p1i...and the optical navigation pad...however taht works...should be awesome too...i hope

If quake doesn't run on it then I don't see why I would trade.
pew pew

2009 release was a mistake it will be second half of this year
I am extreamly tempted by it, largly due to the sony camera, and if the build quailty is like that of my old w800i and w850i then its a huge bonus.

I've been holding off on the Tilt to see how this is going to pan out. But what I've seen of the Experia X1, I'll be heading down that road....

If you want to play Quake (and other 3D accelerated (!) games), get a second-hand Dell Axim x51v. 10000 times better than the Tilt.

lol if I get anything just to play games on then I will get a psp.

Wow, I am blown away by some of the comments here. The screen resolution of the X1 is enough. 800x480 is even better than Diamond, and the 3" screen is sweet. Enough to make me drool. And at 140g it's 25% lighter than the Kaiser. Now port the Manila interface from Diamond to it, and we are in business

Technology move faster and faster each day. If you wait, you'll still have to wait later.
I am looking for a replacement of my TyTn II.
I will wait to see when both the HP Ipaq 610C and Imate 9502 are out. And both these models should be out very soon, say less than a month.
I will then try to go through reviews to see if these do not have major problems and decide on one.
The SE Xperia is a bit too much in the future to wait for.
You may want to wait a little longer

It really depends which Touch you are refering to...The GSM Touch with the OMAP 200mhz processor? or either the Touch Dual or Touch Cruise? IMO, they all have thier problems. OMAP is too slow and seriously outdated, and the Touch Dual/Cruise lack proper video drivers. If you have a good phone I would wait...
If you have an old phone with some issues, I would get the Touch Cruise today. Which is just what I did

Depends on what you're looking for...
...and how long you're willing to wait.
Possible cool phones that will probably show up in the next 6 months:
- iphone v2 with 3G
- more VGA phones
- Sony Xperia
- iMate 9502

What's the best phone

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a SPV M700 which unfortunately arrived not working.
At least I've found your website now, so, in your humble opinion, what's the best one to get?
I like my psp for connectivity, podcast download/playing and screen size, I also like my HP IPAQ for it's windows/office features with handwriting recognition.
Think it's a good idea to get your views before I take the plunge with another phone.
Cheers
Lyvia
hi,
i like my touch niki, having owned a polaris and tytn ii, this one runs smooth and has a slideout keyboard, no wifi or gps, but i can live with this as i have unlimited web bolt on, and a solar sirf iii gps bluetooth receiver
Depends on how you use it.....
The best phone is always the one in my hand.
After owning a Qtek 9100, Qtek S200, HTC Tytn and HTC Tytn II and now a Samsung SGH-i780 and I can only say that the Samsung beats the crap out of the HTCs The only drawback is there are no home brewed rom for it. But for a fast, stable, very nice looking phone filled with features - don´t look any further
Otherwise you can buy my Tytn II - I never use it anymore since getting the Samsung - it feel slow and old
How much did you want for your tnty II? What condition is it in etc.
Regards
Lyv

how can you compare a smartphone to a pda? SGH-i780 is a smartphone isn't it?!
I guess I'm thinking of the 760.. I don't think the 780 is avail in U.S.
android!! or iphone =P i know people here dont like the iphone, but honestly its very light, its got a great browser, and now that the sdk came out, theres gonna be alot of programs available for it. theyre coming out with a 32gb 3g model in the next couple months, so keep an eye out.

Interesting, I do like the look of the iphone I must admit.
Have been having a look at the Hermes and Wizard phones too. Would like the Kaiser type but they seem a bit on the expensive side at the mo.

The i780 is only a tiny bit larger than the i600 but runs on steroids.
Meaning: WM6 Professional, extremely fast Marvell CPU incl. PERFECT video playback even playing large video files from a memory card, nice display quality(a bit shiny though), built-in GPS, WiFi, etc. etc. etc.
This little baby is really impressive, unfortunately it is only Tri-Band GSM(GSM 850 is missing) and Singleband UMTS/HSDPA.
I have been waiting for and just taken delivery of an i-Mate Ultimate 9502. I have put a review here
In function and aesthetics it's the best I've had (albeit that it has had to be exchanged with a hardware fault...I have chatted to other owners via the imate forums and this seems to be a one off).
Cheers
yea the 9502 is nice, but it costs wat, $900? and that still most likely wont be compatible with wm7 when (if) it does come out. I have a Hermes, and im trying to convince my sister to get me an iphone for my birthday. And the Kaiser and a bunch of others of the newer phones have the problem with the video driver. HTC has become crap lately, and alot of us are getting tired of it and jumping ship with the arrival of the iphone and the soon to be released android phones.
Hi, Mole,
Have been looking at the iphone too, keep getting told by people though that when you connect something downloads and you end up getting locked out from using other networks. I am with O2 anyway but only use a pay and go sim. From speaking to O2 they reckon you can't use the iphone with pay and go.
Cheers
Lyv
iphones can work with payg but no company supports it due to wanting more money..
i have a hermes and i love it - still waiting on recieving my memory card and gps reciever but im still enjoying tweaking n playing around
Hi, thanks guys, may look at the Hermes or perhaps give the trinity another try, must admit, it has put me off a fair bit having received on that appears to be bricked.
The iphone is nice but will leave it a year or so before I go down that route.
Cheers

Toshiba TG01 upgrade to 1.3 GHz CPU !!

check this http://www.gsmarena.com/qualcomms_qsd8650a_snapdragon_is_a_13_ghz_monster-news-943.php
there is a 30% speed upgrade for the TG01... not bad!
BUT who needs it
Cheers T3ku
Wow!
That is good to know
Lets hope that HTC uses same processor in their new models!
Thanks for sharing
Sweet. Shrunk it to 45nm which reduced power consumption and allowed a clock speed bump! Nice! Now its a full 6.5x faster than my dying phone!
awesome speed and power!!
hope HTC takes note & get's some big processors in their new models...
Hmmm tasty, haha hope it is implanted into all our HTC smartphones, then whoa! This is a nice break through for mobile phones.

I suspect this Tosh will go the way of the Imates, rumour, conjecture, prediction, frenzy, "i want! i want! i want!" and then never materialise - at least the good ones didn't. The ones that did were so late, they were crap.

It's better not to compare the two companies - Tosh has always been an innovator (unlike HTC, HP and a lot of other manufacturers). Remember the e800? It was released a year before the other manfacturers' VGA devices.
iMate is exactly the opposite...

So to be absloutely clear. There wil no longer be a TG01 at running at 1Ghz appearing in the next month or 2 ?
Thanks,
Zuber
No, the TG01 will still be using a 1Ghz processor, the thread title is misleading, basically a device running the new chip will be 30% faster than the TG01 and use 30% less power.
Thanks,
Just made my day...

indeed, having reread it I got it wrong. They mention the TG01 but not in the same breath. Sorry for being misleading.
Why announce an upgraded chipset a few weeks before the phone is released? At least, here in the UK. I dunno when it's getting a release elsewhere, but Orange are looking at a late June/early July release. Though I'm still staggered they chose to go with WM 6.1 instead of 6.5...

The SE Rachael looks good with good specs (1Ghz Snapdragon, 8MP camera, 3.8" to 4.0" screen, and etc) and its UI look pretty slick also. As long as there is enough RAM, this is going to be a good seller.

you think a hero port would happen? i kind of like sense ui better than this..for some reason it reminds of a PSP
I won't be getting the rom for that phone, I'll be getting that phone. I like fast phones. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new snapdragon chip, when it arrives. I've been anticipating the 1ghz mark for some time now. What a powerhouse...
Caid.

[edit] On second thought, I'm actually torn between this phone and the next android set with the nvidia tegra chip. If this phone also had the tegra built in, I'm sure it would be the perfect phone of the next generation. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
)
The UI looks like ****...
This phone is gonna cost AT LEAST a grand.
I guarantee it...
Hardware specs look awesome, but will it be worth jumping for now?
I know it will be twice as good as the magic/hero on paper, but next year (even this year) could bring whole new devices.
As for the UI, lots of kids phone appeal. I reckon it will sell well as a "sony" phone without advertising the fact about it being google or android.
Personally I don't see the appeal in pretty pics for messages and songs etc. I have that option now with the htc hero rom and don't use it.

Will wait and see how it pans out. If it's better than the competition around the time - I'll be snapping one up.
Not that Im a fan of HTC, but I kinda like the Sense UI better. I just like the darker oriented UI more I guess.
As for specs, Im (semi)happy with my Magic for the time being(for fev purposes), but my next phone will be the first one with the new Nvidia Tegra Chip + Qwery Keyboard + OLED Screen (2/3 will do ).
I just hope, with all the tests that Im doing, that my Magic dose not get bricked before then.

HD3 Mockup Theme on HD2

I think this looks really smart so would be delighted if someone could make a theme similar to this. Or infact if someone has already started to link me to that thread.

Well officially there isn't any news about a hd3 at all, and the only unofficial rumor i have heard was that someone found a "hd3" name in some random system (what am i missing) so i doubt that we will see a HD3 for quite a time, and i am more than just pretty sure that it will not have the specs of that concept, as it seems too unrealistic for me
And when the HD3 comes, i am also pretty sure it will be shipped with WM7, and not WM6.5.x, since WM7 is the newest from microsoft, and also seems to be the most user friendly, which, whether you like it or not, is what gives the most customers Us powerusers is not the main audience, the casual user is
I will buy Win7 phone only if someone confirm some Win7 hack's or downgrade possibility to win6.5(.x) I dont wanna having cool, modern, but unuseless (restrictions) phone.
I think better is change fav platform to Android, coz it have future and it shoot itself to foot like Micro**** do.
Looks cool but a 4.7 screen is just too big I think.

I'd agree there. The HD2 has the screen size pretty much spot on. Any bigger and it's going to stop fitting in pockets and become a bridge device between phone and tablet PC.
If HTC want to make a tablet PC though, I'm fine with that As long as they make it out of strong alloy so i can use it to beat iPad fanbois round the back of the head with
