It would really be nice if this were true: "256 ROM, 1280 RAM"
---

I think they meant to say "128 mb ROM".
It looks very similar to "upcomming imate ultimate 7150"

Hope the external screen has a caller ID. This was one of the biggest gripes for the Universal.
I also see no call accept / reject buttons on the outside. Does this mean that for accepting a new call the lid will have to be opened??. But I hope I am wrong.
The screen looks flush with the casing just as on the HTC Touch. Possibily this also has touch flo techlology.
The design looks attractive unlike the Universal which was a bit on the ugly side.
Regards

"I also see no call accept / reject buttons on the outside"
suspect it's because it's more of ucpc then a phone
and about ultimate then hope they do get released to give htc some serious compatition which is always healthy
but i still have a fear that they are vapor

4 inch wide screen 800 x480 pxls will have 16M colors rite....
If it is ....then it will be fun.....may be the first windows PPC offering 16M colors...

I checked out the slide and it says 256 ROM and 128 (!) RAM, not 1280. Too bad, but not the end of the world. I'm stilling loving this device

Orbit 2
Where did you purchase & how much? Is it English or did you have to load a different ROM?

I have already unpacked, the battery is charging and I'll wait 'til tomorrow to check it out, actually must be a german device. I boughh it at the o2 Germany over ther internet, the price 279 € witch a phone contract.

21:50! Good post service you got there man.
Nice pics btw, cheers.

EDEL !!1111
could you put some more screens in here, or make a short vid of it?
*JA IST DENN HEUT SCHO' WEIHNACHTEN ?? *

Keyboard pics / video please!
Nice device!
I am undecided on whether to buy the Kaiser or the Touch Cruise. It hangs on the keyboard on the cruise, if it is easily usable without stylus. I have tried the XT9 Keyboard on the Touch and didn't like it much.
So could you please post some pics (or even better: a video) of the keyboard while typing a SMS or a note?
Much appreciated!

Buying decison: Xperia vs Diamond Touch2?

Any body have experience with the Xperia and looking at the Diamond Touch 2? Am trying to decide between the two. Xperia seems to me best slider and Diamond Touch 2 a good screen-only device....

skagen,
I'd strongly recommend you just go for the TD2 instead. It's cheaper and the chance of it crapping out (cracking) on you is much slimmer. And just so you know, the screen on the X1 is MUCH smaller than the pictures make it out to be.
Cheers.

Agree...go with the TD2. It's already getting rave reviews for speed and XDA would be here to support it!

Diamond2 Most Def
Yeah, TD2 for shizzle. In the image below, you can clearly see that the Diamond2 is significantly faster than the Xperia in a test done by pocketnow.com involving coreplayer. The full article is here in case you're interested. And to make things more impressive, I don't believe they used hardware rendering, so the processers were doing all the heavy lifting. Pretty impressive, especially compared to my old Kaiser. I seriously cannot wait until the Pro2 and Diamond2 swim across the Atlantic to the US.

What happened to the Sony Clie?

I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?

[APP][2.3+]AUTO ON DEMO and Infinite , to Turn screen ON in automatic mode

Hi guys again
and this is my second and last apk, hope you enjoy it too

Simple and powerfull apk to TURN ON the screen in AUTO MODE:
Examples:
when you open the cover of your device,it should always TURN ON the screen, right?
when you take it out from your pocket/bag, the same, why do you have to push a button to TURN ON the screen?
simply bypassing your hand above it when the SCREEN is OFF
.... your imagination usage it is the limit(fliping it to turn ON,...)
It is based on PROXIMITY SENSOR mainly, and with an special algorithm to avoid FALSE PROXIMITY SENSOR changes, specially when inside pockets or bags(That is why it has a 1 second delay ;])
But if your device has also a LIGHT SENSOR you can also use it to improve acurracy to almost 99% when your device is inside your pockect or bag, avoiding falses PROXIMITY SENSOR changes an so saving your precious battery!!!
AUTO ON only works when you SCREEN is OFF!!so also save some precious battery!!! and do not intercept with Calls!!!
Due to so many diferents SENSOR TYPES on devices, the SENSOR RESPONSE maybe to slow, so a VIBRATE OPTION is include on the settings and it is very useful to "feel"the first times how your SENSOR works.
As with aZephyr, there is aINFINITE version(This Demo version is limited to 100 uses), so if you like it, and your SENSOR works as expected you can pay me a beer for my job ;]
Happy New Year
