sony ericsson has lied me about RAM, they said 128MB RAM of 384MB RAM is for 3D chip whereas SDRAM is not VRAM OR this moment x1 is still prototype product because i heard x1 date is pushed back to end of october (weeks 44)..
SE never lied about video ram. No SE rep ever said there was 128MB ram for video. What was said was that there was 384MB RAM. There was never any mention of video.
btw, SDRAM can be used for video, infact 90% of pc motherboards on the market have onboard video chips that utilise RAM for memory.
That's true. SDRAM is fast enough to share memory for video frame or video data. The real question is why 128MB ? that's huge!!! 16MG or max 32MB is more than enough for the bit map size of the Xperia.

one of Expansys Friday deals tomorrow is that you can buy the X1 for £499.99 saving £85
its still only preorder (they say due sat 1st nov) and this still only brings it down to the price many others have by default, so make of that what you will

So still not out yet anywhere in the UK basically. Vodafone do try and brand phones, though, I don't think they'll be able to do much with this one, as that would include changing the default panels. Wait and see I suppose...
On another note: when I had the conversation about the release date, vodaone apparently have the phone ready but not in stock as they might be waiting to launch it at the same time as another offering (can't remember which phone because, quite frankly I didn't care, lol). One thing I do know, is that it's not showing up as being in warehouse stock. As soon as that happens, phones are able to be picked for shipping approx 24-48hrs after that stage.
On a-another note:
Spoke to Sony Ericsson support today, the phone supports Mirco SDHC cards, not just Micro SD  .

Expansys is one of the most Expensive shops I ever came across, the phones cost at least 30 to 150 Euros more than at a local shop.

Cant wait for X1. I have collected so many apps. found a Amstrad CPC Emulator LOL my first computer 20 years ago! with all the old games like Dizzy. Also theres Snes, Megadrive, Atari, Gamegear, GameBoy, Commadore. . . .
Hi Creid,
Thanks for phone definitions.
Your post brings a lot of memories. I was a game designer for Atari and other computer at that time my company was First Star Software I'm sure you remember since we had a few great hits. Definitely I will focus on the subject. Thanks.

What's the diference between:
Cellular phone? ...For Instance: ...?
PDA phone?
Smart Phone?
Pocket PC Phone?
Anyother designation?
Cellular phone = dumbphone, feature phone etc. - the ones that run on proprietary embedded platforms such as Nokia's S40 and  A100/200.
PDA phone = PDA with phone functionality - a term commonly reserved for touchscreen-equipped devices running on Palm OS or WinMo. I'd say UIQ devices (P1, P9xx etc.) also fall under this category.
Smart phone = a phone with advanced capabilities, primarily due to the presence of a real OS and the support for installable apps - phones running on Symbian OS (S60, UIQ and MOAP), iPhone OS, Android, Blackberry OS are referred to as smart phones, though as we've seen in the past, some smart phones are quite dumb.
Pocket PC phone = a sub class of the PDA phone category - PPC phones run exclusively on WinMo. Desktop PCs are synonymous with Windows, so a Pocket PC is analogous to a desktop PC that fits in your pocket. Now whether most devices actually do that is debatable to some extent.

I was bored and phoned O2 upgrades.
The woman said that the phone would be released on w/c 20 October.
Then she checked her system and found out that it's actually pushed back to w/c 27 October !

Expansys sell handsets that they source on the cheap that are meant for different regions but mark them up on their website as UK version as the firmware is somewhat generic but not specific.
I found this out after Sony Ericsson themselves confirmed a handset Expansys sold me was meant for another region, the handset was marked up as UK version on the exapnsys website and there was problems updating the firmware when the firmware was available for the UK. This was because the handset was obviously meant for a different region...
Take note especially when parting with £500 for a sim free handset. I know of a few people who have had similar problems and I'm suprised to see that company still having a mention, they won't want to know when you have problems later and that's why they have lost mine and others custom. Their pricing is more than other more reputable well known places anyway.
Also, does anybody know of any sites where photo shots taken by the X1 are shown? I'm interested to see the picture quality taken.
