1700 does that mean there is hope for T-Mobile??
T-mobile would get such a phone with all the changes they have been making this year, who knows!!
i just think that missing out on the holiday season isn't very smart
what would also be really cool is if HTC would learn a lesson from some devices it makes for other companies

The majority of the Americas uses NTSC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PAL-NTSC-SECAM.svg), and even with Brazil and Australia weighing in on the PAL side of the equation for the territories listed, I would wager the population count tips on the NTSC side.

The frame rate discrepancy makes no sense! I suspect there's a slip up somewhere.]]>Oct 9th 2008 3:05AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/South America is majorly NTSC (Brazil uses PAL color with an NTSC carrier) too (Plus Japan, Vietnam, and some others)]]>Oct 9th 2008 3:41AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/Oct 9th 2008 3:10AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/Oct 9th 2008 3:16AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/Oct 9th 2008 4:40AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/completely trade off WCDMA I for IV
very wise move, SE!]]>Oct 9th 2008 6:36AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/

Originally, both variants of the X1 were to have 1700MHz support. The initial press release back in February said as much. They have changed their plan, though.]]>Oct 9th 2008 7:47AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/
@ Chris Ziegler, you may want to update the post...there's a bigger difference most people will notice than 24fps vs 30 fps for the video...

the X1a (NA version) will only do video at 320x240 and will not support h.264. everyone else in the world will have VGA 640x480 video recording...BIG difference...

it seems to be related to the qualcomm chipset being used. with the lawsuit between it and broadcom in the states, they had to switch/cripple it...

considering most, if not all, high-end/smartphone/$1000! devices like this have VGA@30fps (nevermind my 2-3 year old Nokia N95), and that this phone was originally intended for the North American market (did i mention the $1000 price?) that's pretty pathetic on SE's part...there must have been another solution they could have used...]]>Oct 9th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/08/two-flavors-of-hot-differences-between-sony-ericsson-x1i-and-x1/
And where do you get this from, please?

Why the hell did they have to cripple their phone for us?

Would it be possible to just buy an international version off the ebay and use it here in US? (i'm using tmobile)
