XPERIA X1 white paper reveals yet more details {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 19th 2008 9:32PM How about everybody wait for the phone to be released before drawing conclusions. At the very least, read the first paragraph in the white paper:
"This White paper will be published in several revisions as the phone is developed. Therefore, some of the headings and tables in this document contain limited information. Additional information and facts will be forthcoming in later revisions."
XPERIA X1 shows AT&T graphic at CeBIT -- what could it possibly mean? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 6th 2008 9:40AM So is there any more coverage at cebit? Is phonemag the only one who dropped by the SONY booth?
XPERIA X1 shows AT&T graphic at CeBIT -- what could it possibly mean? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 6th 2008 9:39AM Well, it has a WVGA screen, 3.5mm jack, MSM7200A processor (65nm = better battery life; 528mhz) multimedia center software, optical dpad as well as 4-way key, nicer keyboard, should actually utilize hardware acceleration, smaller than the tilt, 3.2mp camera (and SONY phone cameras are known to be good), and it just looks sexy. I hate HTC too but no one cares to compete. But when SE and HTC team up, I don't expect it will be a half assed product. I don't know about SE, but SONY always delivers an all around product. Even though HTC will produce it, it is still an SE product, and I don't think they will let HTC screw up the best WM phone to date.
BTW, can I change my password? I dont like having to look up some random number every time I want to post..
Sony Ericsson says XPERIA X1 is still on track for this year {Engadget}
Mar 4th 2008 9:30AM Because there is not really a good reason to go above 16bit. Windows mobile supports depths greater than 16bit. The performance hit is not worth the minimal difference.

Yeah, the XPERIA X1 runs Windows Mobile 6.1 {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 17th 2008 8:32PM Why is everyone so amazed by Windows Mobile 6.1? I have it on my Mogul. Its nothin special. I mean it is faster, and memory management is better but theres not much different. Maybe/hopefully MS is still working on it, but as it is now, it is no major overhaul.
i-mate officially adds 8502, 9502 to Ultimate line {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 13th 2008 10:50AM Are you there? Can you or someone else go to the memory tab in the control panel and let us know how much free and total RAM it has(after a soft reset if you can). Someone with a preproduction unit reported some pretty low memory. Thanks.

Feb 13th 2008 8:29AM Yes it is touch screen WM. The GPS chip is the gpsOne in the Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset. It is capable of both stand alone and assisted mode. Assisted is much faster and more accurate, but im not sure if a carrier can/will charge for it. Anyone know? Would ATT be able to tell that you are in assisted mode?

It's not up to Microsoft to do the bundling. It is up to Sony. ETEN (I think; I know it was someone) bundled Opera Mobile with one of their Windows Mobile devices.
HTC chimes in on video driver controversy {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 23rd 2008 10:19PM There is nothing unusual about this. Just another example of a company half-assing their product to save a buck and hoping their customers don't notice. HTC failed to deliver on advertised features and we the customers won't stand for it. And yes these features were advertised. The product descriptions do not say Qualcomm MSM7xxx minus the graphics acceleration. They do not say Windows Mobile 6 minus certain graphics APIs (yes there are APIs not just drivers missing from some devices that prevent certain programs from running at all). They say Windows Mobile 6 and a Qualcomm MSM7xxx. If you buy a computer that says it contains a NVIDIA 8600GT graphics card, wouldn't you assume the graphics card is *functional*.
