haha. never saw that button.

all im sayin is u can compare tech details, but watch a video of each of them. the x1 is way faster. and like i said, its made by htc so it cant suck. i just think that htc makes sweet phones and this the one imagonnaget.

i have havent been thrilled by the TP since it announcement. so i may be biased. no matter which one i get i still lose my priceless scroll wheel

well, by the specs the phones both have their downfalls and their excellent points. but overall i think the touch pro wins. they both look great, but the touch pro wins with its by far better keyboard. sure the wvga screen on the xperia looks nice. but i don't see that it would be that great of an improvement. not to mention as of right now, it probably wont come to sprint. so you'd be locked to AT&T's "3G" network. while thats and ok network if your in it, i have to many friends with the iphone that are suffering on their 3G network when they should have coverage but it just doesnt work. I havent seen anyone else with a 3G phone, but those iphone friends of mine arent verry happy with the network, so i wouldnt put too much faith in that at all. i guess its just up to what your preference is really lol.

agreed. being on att may be the only thing that prevents me from getting this phone. their '3g' coverage map is ****. the only thing i like about att is that they still use simm cards. meaning you can use any network compatible unlocked phone.

I guess everyone has the right to defend evey inch of their device. Noone is taking that away from U. but defending ur device does not necesarily means that the ur device is better. It is always user preference.
Well anyways, Pocketnow which is one of the most respected Mobile device site has a detailed review on the Xperia. it's a great review and they really give the experia a huge thumbs up. According to them, Xperia is the best WM phone that ever pas*sed their desk. I think that is a huge claim if Xperia does not live to it's performance.
IMO, Xperia is a great device to have. Why? because of it's big brother. The Mighty Touch HD. Since they have the same resolution, Whatever U put on the HD will work on the Xperia. Very nice to have a Brother device like that. U will not be alone in the WVGA world.

Conclusion from the review:

OVERALL IMPRESSION
This is the best Windows Mobile device that has ever p***** my desk. Period. Sony Ericsson was right by declaring it a “game changer” - this has raised the bar, and if the Panel interface takes off and we see a lot of neat Panels, the X1 could become a benchmark mobile device.
Not only is the X1 refined from top to bottom, but it brings a new interface paradigm that challenges our idea of what a Windows Mobile Today screen should be. I was super impressed by its high performance and excellent battery life, and was refreshed by the sensitivity and clarity of the high-resolution touchscreen. If you’re big on one-handed use, this device is not for you. But for everyone else who desire a powerhouse of a device, this is definitely it.

i didnt even know other people out there thought so highly of this device. i just read all the specs, watcha bunch of vids, lots of pic and can tell this thing is gonna rock. it is way faster then the TP in all the videos ive seen. It looks like its the best made WM phone yet. I think it will not have as much xda-dev support, and there isnt that much wvga support yet. but u bring upa good point that stuff on the touch HD will work well on the X1. It is a HTC phone, it is made very well, and I will be getting this phone over the diamond or TP.

i just hope that skype works on and and video calling works.

is it possible to get a ATT phone to work on other networks?

GSM will work on any other GSM. anywhere in the world. The only problem with the Foreign GSM is if it did not have 850mhz network. So if buying GSM phone outside the country, U gotta look for that. 850mhz band is the band the U.S. use for 3G. So If U don't have that, U can't have 3G.

We see the TF3D on Xperia didn't we? So ,HD apps will definitely work.

it's the best WM phone the reviewer ever used. See, even though HTC made the phone, Sony still have the control for quality. Sony has a reputation to protect. We all know if it's sony, it must be good. LOL. The bravia, the Vaio, the cybershot, the Bluray, the PSP, the PS3. it's proven And xperia is their 1st WM. So wait till they get the hang of this game.
