I'm still not convinced there will be an X1a because...
The current X1 is X1 and not X1i
The X1 is shown on the US and Australian SE product pages as X1
The X1 has 850/1900 mhz frequencies available to choose
I've read a few reports that these frequencies work fine
hence, no real need for an X1a
With the lack of communication, all the disinformation and all the rumors your conclusion seems to make sense. But there are a few reasons why they need a version that is not exactly the X1(i).
1- The x1a is on page 20 of the 3rd revision of the White paprer dated May 2008.
2- In the White Paper there are references to the X1 and x1a
3- They name the bands as we know them today (at the general consensus)
GSM 850/1900/900/1800
Tr-iband UMTS 900/1900/2100
Tri-band UMTS 850/1900/2100
I know in many "GENERAL" descriptions they bunch them together.
4- Look at your Box
5- The CPU called for the X1a is different from the X1 MSM7200A vs MSM7201A
6- The main difference between those CPU is the QVGA @ 24fps.
7- That's due to the pending legal litigation between Qualcomm and Broadcom that prevents Qualcomm to use the MSM7200A in USA.
Therefore with two issues the 850 band and the patent infringemet the solution is another version.

^^^ Yes, as long as the 3G frequencies of your provider matches the X1's UMTS frequencies. There was a video posted a few pages back showing the X1i using 3G on USA AT&T.
I think the manufacturing delays may have something to do with the non-announcement of the X1a.
I wonder what specific component is holding things up? 
MSM7201A? |

Hey everyone,
I was wondering, how can I change the clock to a 12:00 hour clock and not a 24 hours clock?
I've been playing around in the Settings and couldn't find anything that'll let me change the time.
could it be that it's not possible to change the time to 12 hours because it's WM? |

Also, how do I add panels to my X1?
Do I just copy the .rar file onto the X1 and extract it there or do I make a folder onto the X1 and then extract the file?
Sorry if these are noob questions. |

MP has nothing to do with image quality per se. It has more to do with image size than actual quality. For example a 2MP image will be smaller on a computer screen or 1:1 print out than a 5MP image. But the quality itself depends only on the performance of the image sensor.
hi Max,
I agree that the quality of an image depends of a lot of factors. Also that MP has do more with image size.
But I would like to add that MP is also a contributor to the quality of an image. From the point of view of the end user or observer the MP will make a difference in many ways:
For example a picture of complex drawing like a dollar bill. if you want to see it printed or on screen with at the exact dimension or the original The quality of the reproduction for 8mp vs a 2 or 3mp will be very noticible for the simple reason that the hi res pictures has more dots to describe the fine details thanwhat the 3mp can do.
Similar situation will happen when you want to enlarge a picture let's say to frame size of 8x10 inches for example.
So what all this means is that the number of pixel ALSO contributes in part to the overal quality of a picture and in sme cases dramatically.

To sync with Lotus Notes, I highly recommend Commontime mNotes. There is a 30-day free trial available at www.commontime.com.
One word of advice - read the installation instructions carefully, and follow it exactly.
I'm using mNotes Desktop right now and it is very smooth and seamless. |

@pinguino2,
it seems we both have good arguments for our conclusions but:
1. SE white papers are often wrong
2. All those frequencies are listed in my phone and, from reports, working
3. Not sure what you mean by "look at your box". I checked the box and everywhere on it, it says X1 and not X1i. This includes the label which also lists all the frequencies of 850/900/1800/1900 & UMTS EU1/US2/EU8 (see pic below)
4. I'm aware of the qualcomm issue, and I was thinking about that. Its really just a component within the phone and so I don't see why SE couldn't sell the phone in US with the different "component" and still call it X1. No where in the US X1 specifications page, or anywhere else in the product description, does it specify recording rates and sizes. Its all just generic description of "video recording". Products are often sold in different markets with different components although this is more normal when they have local manufacturing and some components are not as available as others.
5. Finally, 9 months after the X1 was announced there is still no separate announcement for an X1a
I guess as always, time will tell

Hi, it is possible, you have to just go Start -> Settings -> Regional settings, you can change your place of living, or type of appearing nmbers, currency, time and date

1) I believe if you download the panel to your pc, it is a .cab file and not .rar . you just have to copy .cab file to your mobile phone and execute directly. it will install itself. |

I'm more convinced now of a USA diffeente version You are right they might call it anything they want, but the thing is that it will differ and can no be interchaged (for 3G)
2 more points:
1- The picture of your box has UMTS I/II/VIII that is 900/1900/2100
2- The USA SE specs ONLY say tri-band UMTS.
Then, the USA MUST be 850/1900/2100 and MUST have a CPU without VGA 30 fps.
So even if they call it X1 it is a different working phone, so X1a is logical.
(well, SE is not doing many logical tings lately)

Finally, we are starting to see some really useful panels surface. If we can see a relatively bug free, fully working (including landscape) TF3D panel, then X1 is the undisputed WM King in my book. Perhaps another slideshow panel, but one with a gallery as smooth as that on the iphone, or a panel which is an upscaled version of the A200 platform (Now THAT would be the best of both worlds). I really hope SE provide WM 6.5 as an update; there are bound to be more changes by the time that arrives. |
