It's probably due to the release of the Touch HD. They’re been compared against each other in several reviews, with the HD coming out on top. Having tested both devices myself, I’m in agreement with the majority and now own a HD.
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.
