As this thing is going to be a slider, Has anyone here used any of the HTC sliders? Do they get floppy and slack like the N95?
I have been told by a high up at Ericsson, that SE are only using the chip from HTC but I am not sure I believe that! and given SE's ability to produce shoddy cheap handsets I have some reservations as to the long term quality of the X1
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Seeing as how X1 is an SE design, blame for poor build quality should not be go to HTC. HTC is just following instructions. X1 is not a typical plasticy build. So far, the build quality has been praised in reviews--especially the sliding mechanism. The battery cover needs work. Of course, no one knows the long-term reliability of the X1. |

My Tytn II is still in good shape after 8 months (and a lot of drops and knocks). The slider is still quite firm, and the tilting hinges still hold the screen up just fine. HTC build quality is generally pretty good, but obviously a lot of that is down to the design and specification it's built to, which in this case is supposedly SE's.

That is what's bothering me, SE ant build cases for toffee! my P1 back creaks like fury and the back on my W960i is bowed and moves all the time. I think Iam going to wait on my next purchase a good deal longer this time. I realy am sick of spending hard earned cash on devices that simply start too feel 5 years old in as many months! If anyone from  is reading this IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH sort it out.

They weren't able to actually use the phone when they examined it, but here's some more X1 pictures from Engadget Mobile:

You have a point about SE build quality, which on some models isn't up to standard. But the P1i and W960i are not a sliders so I wouldn't compare those. I would look to the W910i, and W850i which both have very solid sliders. I have a W910i which has stayed solid the whole time I have owned it, and I have heard even better reports about the W850i. However, the W580i and its sister phone the S500i kind of offset this with a pretty poor record.
Kind of inconclusive huh? I'd say to wait a month or two after it comes out. Wait and see what people's reactions are. If you can't wait, then read a hell of a lot of reviews!

Isn't build-quality directly related to price-points? IOW, because of cost factors, lower-end phones won't be as robustly built as high-end ones. |

That is correct. Lower cost more rattle. Higher cost less rattle.

Well that's what supposed to happen. Whether or not that's the case for the product, you never know.
But many have commented on the X1's amazing build quality and the nice arc-slider design. |
