HTC or SonyEricsson ?? - XPERIA X1 General

Hello
For the first time here, I´ve sold my HTC-touch and are asking your opinion what model will be my next phone?
I´m sure it will be a win-phone again, but what model?
HTC Diamond
HTC Pro
SonyEricsson X1

diamond is cheap,pro is about £300,xperia is over £500 inebay
i have xperia fully unlocked/de branded,i'm willing to sell it for ?£450.
but they all the same,diamond is smaller without keyboard and built in 4gb as well.
still non can come close to iphones touch screen and user interface!!

unfortunately xy_kolla is right. WM is the best but touch screen interface is zero compared with Iphone. I suggest to buy WM with Keyboard.

New 614/914 release date?

Hi,
Has anyone got any info on when the new 614c and 914c are going to be released?
Thanks.
To be honest, i wont be buying another HP device. It will be the same story, outlay 100's of $/£/Eur for a device that will be as uptodate as a housebrick 6months later.
Dont do it to yourself mate! Look at some of the new devices coming out and make a very careful decision about buying another HP device.
I know exactly what you mean, but the HP devices are the only ones likely to have transflective screens, unless I buy an iPhone (which goes out of date in 7 days).
The G900, Kaiser, Touch Dual, Touch Cruise, X800, M800, none of them have transflective screens.

Who will replace TOUCH DUAL by DIAMOND

I think all of you have seen the specs of the HTC DIAMOND
Who is going to get the HTC DIAMOND? I'm not going to waist my time waiting for members who have the courage to keep trying making the wifi and gps working. I have to felicitate their efforts but think i'm about to sell my dual to get HTC DIAMOND or HTC TITANIUM(Diamond with 20 keys...not a lot info for the moment)
ps: please replace "by" by "buy" in the poll options
i'd go for a TITANIUM whenever i feel like it
but i do like my sirf iii solar bluetooth gps device and dont miss wifi as i have unlimited web bolt on, BUT, speedy graphics will probably push me over to the diamond side !
I buy via work a HTC Daimond, if its released. We use HTC Units ... most are HTC VOX and Niki.
i'll be keeping my touch dual for sure.
i agree that the diamond is awesome in terms of functionality but why on earth release a pocket pc phone with no SD card ????
there is no way I'm buying this
the only thing that's keeping me from being completely sure that i will replace my touch dual with the diamond is the lack of a 16key hardware keyboard which i have right now.
although if it's true what they say about the HTC Titanium which is supposedly the Diamond with a HW keyboard then that's it, done deal for me.
I hear that HTC is going to provide the drivers for the Kaiser, if that's the case, the drivers for our Touch Duals will soon follow. SO no reason to rush getting the Diamond yet for me. I'll give it a few more months.
I do have a question .... Why are they putting such low mAh batteries in highend devices now-a-days?
The Diamond has 900mah or something like that... It's 3.5g with the highest HSPDA available right now, right? So ... that's like 1 hour on 3g? lol. It's processor is really fast, and that'll eat up the battery. It's graphics are really good, too (from the videos i've seen)... So.... Sedio Ext. batteries anyone?
what i find odd about new htc products in general is that they always have something missing.
for diamond that would be - sd storage + quad band + keyboard
really very frustrating.
I agree with boboduck. If they release a diamond with a keyboard and sd-storage I'll consider buying one. Until then I'll keep my Niki.
The diamond is aimed at a different market than all other HTC phones released to date, its more of a phone to pose with than get out of your pocket at a works meeting. 4GB is plenty of storage for most users and the lack of a keyboard isn't a problem. I don't see people with the iPhone or LG Prada refusing to buy them until they come with a keyboard.
I am buying one because they are aesthetically and technically brilliant, I'm keeping my dual primarily as my day to day phone and my diamond is going to be my going out phone that my friends and other people see me with.
By the way I've pre-ordered mine off Play.com for £429 with free delivery, cheapest Ive seen so far and they are due in stock on the 19th of this month!

It's a marketing strategy. You do not put every feature in one device, because if you do, you have no reason to sell other devices.

As done by most other manufacturers too, Nokia used to never release a complete phone, although you could argue that the N95 8Gb has changed that. Sony Ericsson also release their phones in either the Cybershot camp or the Walkman Camp, but not both.
I do hope someone can cook the touchflo 3D for niki
We will have to wait for these anticipated 3d drivers to come about before manilla is usable on the niki i reckon, the diamond looks to stutter a bit with it and that has got the 3d drivers running!
I'm not holding out much hope really for it running well and i reckon it could be a memory hogging monster, HTC haven't put 192 meg of ram on the diamond for no reason....
i totally agree about the marketing strategy. this is the reason why dual has no wi-fi.
Because if it did, then nobody would buy the elf or vogue.
if htc do however release an all-in-one phone, i think it'll hurt our pockets
i just hope someone can try to put the touch flo 3D in niki
I just pre-ordered from play.com
I havent had it agreed by my wife yet.... eek!
Will keep touch dual. I'am student and have no money for the diamond!
So far I can't find a soft keyboard that is comparable to the hardware keypad for Chinese input. so better stay with Nike.
I voted for replacing my nike with a diamond, but the absence of sd breaks it for me.
A PDA without external storage is ridiculous.

Anyone know when the touch HD pro (Rhodium) will come out?

I think this will trully be my dream phone. I have an xperia atm, but I believe the Touch HD pro, will really be the best phone if it ever gets released. Anyone know of a release date for this, so that I can know when to sell my xperia?
They announced it, look at my thread below.

That is the touch pro2 I'm talking about the Touch HD pro, which is code named Rhodium on HTC's device roadmap which was leaked.
I know it isn't really reliable...but it will probably be released somewhere in Q3 from this year. does anybody know what the difference is between the Rhodium and the tungsten ? (exept the color )

Rhodium is a codename. Like Blackstone is the codename for Touch HD. Its 80% sure that Rhodium is Touch Pro 2 True Rhodium doesnt have the same back speaker as Touch Pro 2 but those are just mock ups. (look at Citrine/Topaz... They are Diamond 2)
Lets be reasonable here... For anyone who thinks that a slide qwerty keyboard mobile for MULTIMEDIA will come out, is out of his mind. The Qwerty phones are aimed for business users not casual users

So the xperia is a business phone? You couldn't be more obtuse.
Touch HD still doesn't have succesor Rhodium is new Touch Pro 2. Maybe Whitestone will be

HD2 or X2!?

Goodday everybody,
I'm consider to buy the HTC HD2 or SE X2.
I have all ready the X1, what i most like is the keyboard.
Can you guy's tell me what the best choice is to buy!?
Greetings,
Rob
If you like a physical keyboard then why are you even considering an HD2? Stick with your X1, or buy a Touch Pro2, or consider a Samsung OmniaPRO B7610.
Thanks for the reply!
Yep you are true, but the X1 has for me to many faults in it.

Fully agree. I would go for the Samsung.
The X2 is and X1 with an "improved" camera and an upgrade to 6.5. Rest assured that all the faults you got in the X1 are gonna crop up in the X2. Look elsewhere.
I thought I was going to miss the keyboard too, but heck not at all.
Aren't you interested Motorola MILESTONE?
Thanks for all the reply's
I'm reading allot, but don't know jet, and the Motorola MILESTONE doesn't come to the Netherlands
I like the comparing with the Iphone but the X2 isn't compare with anyone.
Greets,
Rob
I moved from Xperia X1 to HTC-HD2
Keyboard on the big HD2 screen is good for me (but 1 year ago the keyboard of the X1 was one big reason to go for the X1)
I want to stick with the xda support

I made the switch from x1 to HD2, id say go with the HD2! the x2 uses similar hardware to x1 which feels so slow and laggy compared to the HD2, sure you lose the hardware keyboard but it wasnt perfect to begin with and id usually pop the stylus out rather then slide the keyboard out because the rotation switch felt too slow
Here's a side by side: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1932&id2=1783
my friend
the X2 have the same SLOW CPU as the HTC DIAMOND
the X2 is a X1 with only some improvment
go for the samsung omniaPRO B7610
dont even think about the htc touch pro 2 its slow
i mean really slow cause of that CRAP processor
If you absolutely need a keyboard: Get the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610.
If you can live without a keyboard: Get the HTC HD2.
Do NOT buy the X2. It's got the same old, awfully slow processor that has been annoying us for years now. You seriously shouldn't spend money for a device based on that crappy Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipset.
If the keyboard is important to you I'd imagine you'd get annoyed with the HD2 pretty quickly, but it may be worth trying it out for the many other benefits, as if you don't like it, stick it on Ebay and you'll be able to get a Pro2 / Omnia pro / X2 / Milestone for the same money you get from the HD2 sale!
I've got a Pro2, and would highly recommend it if Keyboard is high on your priority list. As far as I know it's the best keyboard on a phone right now, and has the tilting screen too. I think I would miss it too much to get the HD2, but would not be against trying (About a year ago I tried an HD then loved the move back to my trusty Kaiser).
Also I doubt the X2 would be slow; contrary to the two posts above, the Pro2 is not slow. While clearly not as fast as an HD2, it's simply untrue to say the Pro2 is slow for general use. A snapdragon won't help an HD2 user type faster & more accurately than a Pro2 user
