Well,
I want UiQ, not Windows,
also, I'm sure next Symbian/UiQ generation will be really strong,
It will jump higher than WM.
BTW, X1 looks cool. | |

If the P5 is also going to "Xperia" branded, and the X1 can already lay claim to being the most business orientated Xperia device (simply by virtue of Windows Mobile), I wonder if the P5 is going to be more of a pure multimedia device, eg a more direct take on the Iphone? Is it possible, for example, that the reason we've not seen the P5's qwerty keyboard (or been given any concrete hint on it) is that it doesn't have one? Perhaps it's a virtual keyboard, or just a standard slide-out keypad? I'm just thinking, if you really need a qwerty, you're going to be buying an X1. If you need a business phone, likewise, you're going to buy an X1. But if you just want good video, a snazzy interface, good camera and music player etc, then maybe the P5 will be the sexier, slimmer, model for you?
I still think the "traditional" P series buyer may find themselves migrating more to the X1. I've already done that a year early, in moving from the M600i to the Tytn II, and I've no regrets - but I'll be very happy to swap the Tytn II for an X1 when the time comes.

In my opinion it doesn't make much business sense to release 2 similar mobile devices like the Xperia x1 and the P5. It would confuse the market.
The spec's already seem similar and having a different O/s isn't really going to help differentiate the products enough to the general public, who aren't as clued up on mobile phone development as people on Esato are. |

well, i disagree!
The people buying businessphones/smartphones usually are clued up about what they are buying!

indeed - they want to know whats in a device etc
and why they should buy it over any other device
 no wonder i see so many black berrys  theyre a pretty good business phone;)
@Boinng
and ONE reason why people would choose the p5 over the Xperia
is, SIZE 
im assuming it will be in similar size to the p1 and w910
eh and personal choice..food for thought

But if you look at the specs, the X1 isn't particularly big compared to either the P1 or W960 (I assume you meant that, and not the W910). It has a big screen, but you'd expect that from the P5 too. The rest of the bulk (what little there is) comes from the keyboard. The P5 may well not have one, but that's really my point 
Have a look at this size comparison - the X1 is slightly taller than the P1, but it's actually smaller in every other direction! http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_comparison/10179-SE-X1-vs-SE-P1

It's all personal choice, but what are you saying - the P5 will have identical specs, and it'll just be a straight choice between WM and UIQ? Of course not. These will be two different phones geared towards two different markets; the X1 already has the business professional covered, so it stands to reason that the P5 will be more consumer/multimedia oriented.

dammit! well i really hope xperia x1 is not paris... bcos x1 is good but not what we all were expecting. and by no means does it seem to succeed the p990 in the true sense of the statement... i'll still be waiting i guess, and there are two more days for the MWC to end so fingers crossed! |

They're two different phones...don't worry.
The X1 cannot be Paris because X1 is Venus.

I think the X1 gives us a pointer for what to expect in the P5 - which is not a business phone, in the sense that the old P's were. That's now the X1's job.
The new P, if it's still classed that, will be all about multimedia.

....in which case, I'd imagine it won't be in the P-series. But who knows? |

Don't want to post alot in this thread but the P series is not dead yet.
P series with UIQ will continue
X series is windows based.
Hope that helps.
PK what u just said is very very contradictory to this :
