I think not. See page 31.

So the hardware (made by HTC) was good but not the software (written by Microsoft and Sony Ericsson)?

Thanks for noticing. I stand corrected. It's only for Google.
I got confused reading the words all instances. in WMpowerusers.com :

..." simply need to edit the xml fine found at ProgramPanelsGooglePanel replace all instances of iexplorer.exe with operaL.exe."...

Very good news. Microsoft's own Bluetooth stack for Windows Mobile is not much better than what they provide with Windows XP SP2. With XP SP2's built-in stack you get PAN and file transfer and that's it. On WM they also add headset and A2DP but nothing else. And the A2DP doesn't work very well on most handsets. Only a few like the HTC Kaiser (TyTN II) can play stereo audio to an A2DP headset without the sound skipping or pausing. The X1 coming with SE's own bluetooth stack should guarantee skip-free sound, at least when paired with an SE headset.

Symbian Show starts today. I hope there will appear any information about UIQ Xperia. On SE-NSE forum weirdwilli says about Android Xperia (3Q2009) and Windows Mobile 7 Xperia (4Q2009). Nothing about UIQ Xperia. Do You think there won't be such a device sooner than 3Q or 4Q2009?

SE better stick with WM and Symbian (esp. that they are one of the founders of the new SF) as they have already invested there.

Fundamentally speaking, as any OS grows in sophistication, it too will become more sluggish. Thus the need for faster processors to accomodate. Android is new and lean and probably not as feature-rich as the older OS'es.

Look at this programming code for a Hello World program written for Symbian, iPhone, Android and WM.

As you see, WM seems to win in the development simplicity department.

@All

What is your prediction on sales volume of the X1 ?
Worldwide?
USA?
Europe?
Asia?
etc?

Do you think it will be hugely successful or just equal in numbers to other WM phones?

Exactly. SE is one of the founders of SF. It would be... hmmm... strange not to release Symbian Xperia.

On the other hand, Android seems to be very quick. All systems should run so smoothly. Unfortunately neither Symbian nor WM do. I use N95 8GB and is far too slow for me. Too many lags.

Slow production maybe?
SE/HTC suppliers too slow or have supply shortages?

1) I don't think Xperia uses special component. I believe most of the parts are common.

2) Normally, as in Sony factory, we will have 2 or 3 suppliers for backup in case the main supplier having a problem or parts problem during mass-pro.

3) unless there is a special component, then we will have problem with shortage. as happen for sony PS3 in the beginning due to the shortage of blue laser diode.

4) I think, HTC has a big production capacity since they are OEM manufacturer for many brands.

Why Xperia hasn't announced carriers in North America?
Blame Apple

X1a hasn't been announced yet. Remember, it is supposed to be announced on Nov 3.

Also, I haven't noticed high-end SE phones on display anywhere. Most people have no clue what my p910 is I think SE just doesn't have a huge footprint in the U.S.

The Sweden phones don't look like the real final thing.

Why? What means final to you? All missing (and not announced) features suddenly appear in the X1 or what?

What high-end SE phone has ever been carried by a provider in the U.S. ?

I thought the big spenders were in USA.

Well, iPhone is definitely a high-end device (highly subsidized). Whether you consider it a smartphone or not is a matter of semantics. It supports third party software and is OS updateable. Just because it doesn't match other established smartphones feature-for-feature doesn't disqualify it as a smartphone.
