My last post stated that WinMo would be 'taking a back seat' to  and their 'X-panel' replacement UI.

The panel button didn't work well, it caused crashes and stuff since its a proto but you'll probably be only using WinMo. I was hoping for 3d live panels which constantly update but you don't really need it since WinMo is good right now. The X1 was excellent but the panels sucked and TF3d is so much more responsive and useful. The hardware itself and keyboard are nice but X1's is beautiful even though it is less functional.
I do not have much news, I did see Reese again in black but it was switched off so no idea about the OS. There is a June announcement, it may not have been the case of a postponed announcement for the X2, it could be that are on time and the last event was only to show off Satio and co. As well as the X2, we should see some other new stuff as well. It may not all be high end though. We could see a 8MP Cybershot and also some Walkman phones. Actually, there are a few phones that need replacing in the mid and low end of the portfolio particularly the Walkman side of things. September is the time for the next 'important' announcement anyhow.
you don't seem all that excited about the X2. shud we be concerned? |

i think the main problem is that the others are already using the new nvidia chip by the time they release the X2.
on the other hand i wouldn't be too much concerned, because he says the the X2 is more functional then the X1 ... which is a good point  |

If X2 will be announced in June and is not "important" I think the september announcement should show us the Android phone or something  |

The Zune HD is using the nVidia Tegra so go to youtube and check out the video. That is one smooth mofo of a UI and its a sign of things to come with HTC as far as I know. It is smoother than the iPhone and running WinMo with that will be amazing.
Some of you have got me wrong, the X2 is a nice piece of kit with putting a lot of good stuff into it. WinMo 6.5 is a lot better than 6.1 and because of this, X1 to X2 is a significant improvement. The phone is important for as well, HTC will have similar competition but camera and Walkman features give it the edge. HTC will do a replacement for the Touch HD and are going into different things like more Androids, big screens, super big screens etc.
X2 is better than the Touch Pro 2 as far as I am concerned. Its all positive for the X2 except for their 'panels' thing. Keep it simple, fast and responsive like TF3d. Running WinMo is demanding anyway so why slow down the phone massively with such a thing? |

is there a chance that they'll work it out till the release ?
i'm really into getting the X2 as my all in one device, but i'm still undecided if a Zune HD(its really impressive what microsoft is up to with this device) and a mid-end handset would suit my lifestyle better ... we will see

I for one enjoy the Panels, of course I am mainly using only one (spb 3.0) but I have to say loving the idea of these extra features like the media panel or even the skype panel. For me it adds value because there is more tweaking and adjusting possible and am not really to bothered about the speed. Sure they could be faster but having several ways of operating the phone (instead of using just one OS) has proven really interesting and kept me excited about my X1 longer than any phone did before.... But thats all probably a matter of taste and requirements. Anyway if the rumoured specs are true the X2 should be a sprinter anyway
Again the question when and where in June? |

The HTC Hero looks good! If it comes to the US with ATT 3G, that may be enough for me to jump ship and try out Android. |

Android certainly does look impressive on the Hero. Dicky said he wanted SE to stamp its own identity on the UI and offer something different. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
