......O......

Well, the O looks huge compared to the dots, that doesn't MAKE it huge

In what sense? It looks no bigger than the Mogul (because it's not), and I'm holding one of those right now and confirming what a nice size it is. I'm just trying to understand what part of this phone looks huge to you.

Not sure where you're getting your info but the screen doesn't look capacitive to me. If the screen isn't, the soft buttons aren't either. It looks just like the Touch with soft buttons on the bottom of a generic pressure-sensitive screen.

well that Android HTC Dream is rumored to be capacitive, but i highly doubt the Raphael or Diamond will be since they have been complete for a while now probably and right about to release. So far i havent seen anyone comment on it, but they look touch sensitive from the demo videos we have.

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/ you guys should really check out this site, the guy has a near release build of a Diamond (just has 128mb RAM and a not final 6.1 build). He answers a lot of these common questions in his daily review videos.

the bottons under the screen are normal mechanical click buttons. the screen is not much better in sunlight than out current ones, but much more rich color- bummer. The 900mah battery was slightly less than the Kaiser by his tests with the same functions running and usage, which is fairly good IMO for such a tiny phone. The 3d UI seemed generally fast from the videos even in test software phase.

Just watch the videos, they show everything the thing can do.

The new Android is capacitive. Positive about that.

Not sure what you mean by "touch sensitive." All WM6 Pro phones are touch sensitive.

The lack of hard buttons really sucks. The Mogul has 9 and the Raphael has 4. It doesn't even have a hardware WiFi switch or scroll wheel.

I just clearly told you the screen's not capacitive. I know the screen's not capacitive. The hands-on reports from Gizmodo were the ones that reported that the buttons (NOT the screen) were capacitive, which surprised them. And I didn't say the SOFT buttons were capacitive, either. I said the BUTTONS (no word soft in front of it) were. That means the physical buttons under the screen (Send, End, Home, and Back) were reported to be capacitive. I'm not stupid enough to think they magically made the bottom part of the screen capacitive, which is why I clearly didn't say they did.

But the moral to my story is you can't just go off of these pictures your gonna have to wait until you play with it hands on before you make any conclusions.

The X1 is the one on the top, i love the way its keyboard is looking compared to the rest of the htc's (its made by htc but branded to sony)

If you ask me, the X1 is one sexy phone

I'm not on coffee. I just don't like when people continually misread my comments and tell me I'm wrong about something I didn't even say.
