Its not even hit the streets, and it already looks dated and past it! My guess, and ive been wrong before is that it will be forgotten long before anyone REALLY wants one enough to pay for it, and as for jumping on the green bandwagon, SE has a history of phones where crappy standards lead to keys wearing and showing their age within months, waterborn paints indeed, will this mean that the damn thing wears out even quicker?

There is also a reset button on the X1 (under the battery cover). You have to put your stylus in a small hole to reset the device.

The aerial thing was funny!

This phone really is ugly for me, so unlike SE and more like Nokia.

Okay, I'll stop now. I have been sounding more like a broken record for long enough regarding this poor phone.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

Blackberry are very successful in the market segment this phone is aiming at. Smart move, no? I agree it's ugly but that's more a reflection of the form factor than design skills. If fact I think that have done well to keep the uglyness to a minimum. It's better looking than a Bb or Nokia E.

@ the reset button...

It could have been my next phone if it had autofocus. Is there a possibility that SE would reconsider putting autofocus in it?

Its as fast as the X2 so either the hardware for it is decent on a budget or the X2 is whack. Even if they use environmentally friendly materials, they could have made it look a bit more high end. The black one looks far more expensive than the white one. Next to the BB the screen size is not so bad, it just means that the touch experience won't be great but in the video you saw how easy it is to use with the d-pad. Its a very late move but an extremely smart one from so credit to them.

doesnt it have a 600mhz processor?? so that it self is faster than the x2. of course it depends on the software. though it looked quite fast in that video.

re screen size, the e71 had 2.4", then came the e72, with...... a 2.4" screen. Yes ts been out a little while already, but it sells well, as does the e71 still. even the BB 9700, they dropped the screen size from 2.6 to 2.5". Didnt see many complaints there.

Though some argue larger would have been better, its a business minded device, not a multimedia monster. Dont see the need for a much bigger screen.
