I can see why Sony-Ericsson want to work with them.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/Dec 23rd 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/

Not only that, the HD is selling like preverbial hot cakes. Its feature set and (almost) iPhone identical form factor are a winning combo, it’s the closest competition the iPhones' had yet and many are referring to it as an “iPhone killer”.

In my testing of the X1 I found it to be less than I’d hoped for/overhyped. The keyboard was mediocre with not enough travel, the screen was recessed and resolution was too high for its size, and althought the build was solid it wasn’t consistent. Also I couldn’t help feeling that a larger part of the price was paying for the SonyEriccsson name when compared with the HD.

Probably really doesn't help that HTC is in bed with Qualcomm, and only low-end Sony-Ericsson devices have scraped the bottom of GLBenchmark for multimedia and graphics until the Xperia. Sony will never have a comparable quality device to previous high-end SE devices nor high-end Nokias if they keep it tied-up with HTC/Qualcomm.

$800 USD also prices the Xperia out of pretty much the entire market when the Touch Pro gets subsidized on AT&T.]]>Dec 24th 2008 1:05AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/Dec 24th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/Dec 24th 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/23/sony-ericsson-rumored-to-be-moving-away-from-htc-for-winmo-phone/
As for SE's move- I think the more logical one would be to focus away from WinMo completely. Android's out & they own UIQ. why put a third in the mix? SE's known for a clean interface. WinMo's certainly not.]]>Dec 24th 2008 3:59PM
