I heard that this phone will be coming to T-mo US by the end of September. Can anyone confirm this?

I am sorry to break this news to all the T-mo fans. In many live demostrations and pictures of the x1 there has been a at&t panel on the panel interface of the phone. Take a look at this article.

ive raed a few reviews where people LOVE the keyboard, and watched some videos of it where people comment on it, so im going to wait and make up my own mind on it!

Couldn’t get a confirmation from T-Mobile and my firends at HTC aren’t talking, but they didn’t say no when I asked.

@Steve.

Thank you. People seems to miss that part a lot about this phone. That is why this is going to be the best PDA phone Sony has ever had. You can’t beat em… so hire them to make a phone for you.

800×480 screen… damn.

I know I saw a spec sheet somewhere that listed every radio frequency (including 1700), so this thing has GOT to come to T-mo.

C’mon T-mo! For once, just for once, can you get a must-have kick-ass phone 1ST?? Please? No more Sidekicks? PLEASE?

Bengalboy says the keyboard is fine and one of the best he used

Im gonna take his opinion over boy genius because Bengal boy has had the phone for weeeeks

And his review is very indepth…he took his time with the phone

Maybe it just takes getting used to

my thoughts exactly.

Why are you showing the WAP version? Certainly it can do the true version. If not then thats pathetic.

Visit Bengal boy to see how LED diods work! So far he made best review of Xperia I have seen.

The big plus for me is:

1. Wide screen hi-res screen
2. slide out full keyboard
3. WM 6.1

The hard decision is whether to choose X1 or Touch Pro. Both of which could be the best smartphone of this year.

Thanks for the 14 photos- but could you please have included one from the side perspective showing its thickness! I’m tired of phones that fit in my pants like a potato.

I hope it doesn’t take too long to get used to a phone that opens the total opposite of my Tilt.

@PHug

1. Because people like dedicated keys, and a certain amount of space is needed for the optical joystick/D-pad anyway so it just makes good sense to use the space around it.

2. I don’t see the problem with using Windows Mobile. What would you have it be, Symbian? Blech.

Don’t tell me it’s gonna be another 4 days for the review to surface!

Again i say they dropped the ball here.

1. TOO MUCH WASTED SCREEN POTENTIAL. You have a slide out keyboard and a touch screen why not make the screen as big as possible.

2. WinMo

If this does not have T-mobile 3G it will fail because AT&T already has too many contenders for the throne

So whats the point if the keyboard sucks!! Am I suppose to go “look how great it works using my stylus”…If you cant type whats the point. Everything bottoms out to input and if the keyboard sucks then I am still stuck looking for something else.

That’s the wap version of BGR website in those pics above!!
Does that mean it doesnt have a true real browser like the iPhone?

i have a question — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:37:08 +0000

i’ve seen the demo videos of the panel interface, but are there virtual keyboards on the touch screen? or is the only input method the physical slide-out keyboard?

Does this device have a 3.5mm audio out port?
