What’s with these complains who manufacture X1 for SE? It is purely business. SE or any other brands have the right to oem its design/idea to whoever who can produce it at reasonable cost. Porsche Cayenne is made by VW but tuned by Porsche. People are happily paid premium for it. What about Apple products (hardware)? Arent they also made up by various components from other manufactures?
Ultimately what counts is the brain behind the brand as what SE said is User Experience. Users be the judge!
For WM users, HTC is tempting enough, yet SE tweaks it further to combine serious business with entertainment and fun element. Notice the dedicated smiley button on X1? Top N-series doesnt even have that.
Conclusion: good wm hw manufacture combined with good trendsetter, result is X1. Hopefully the actual product is as good as the euphoria.

I really don't understand why people are judging the X1 just because it might be manufactured or jointly developed by HTC.
If HTC wholly manufactured the X1 then whats wrong with that? Isn't that just called outsourcing?

Exactly, goldenface, spot on  I think it's great that HTC manufactures it, their phones are of excellent quality.
Dogmann,
Wait and see, but make sure you have your first-aid kit some place near, cause my X1 is going to "JACKIE CHAN" your E90 in terms of everything with the exception of the battery, which either way is probably not going to have any influence (  is known for excellent battery times, you know).

No, it just gives the feeling that SE isnt good enough to make an entire device on its own

No single brand can do everything by itself, too expensive and less efficient. Lets end this argument of who makes for who. This is Today! not some dark ages decades ago. Almost everyone does outsourcing nowadays. It is the essence of capitalist.

no... it just give us the idea that SE wanted to deliver a perfect device by letting it made by who that have enough experience...
against all of your thoughts... SE made the right move this time.

I can understand how people would prefer their devices to be made purely in-house but outsourcing is common to many mobile manufacturers - its simple fact.
HTC is held in high regard in the industry and any company would do well collaborating with them.

It seems whenever SE come out with a new high end handset, i get my hands ready for it then somehow it tends to disappoint.
however this handset looks to tick all of the boxes, especially with the size of the handset, however not too impressed with the WM6 OS. I did like the UIQ 3.9 interface.
Well i guess i will have to wait until i get my hands on it.
I wonder which network will get their handset on it first, i hope the networks do not ruin the OS with branding.

Been thinking about the x1, i think it looks very nice, and if i was in the market for a win mobile phone, i would consider it. If the x1 was to be release right now, today, i would probably get it if i was in the market for a win mobile phone, but with it still quite a few months off i fear that it will be outdated already at release.
I like the design of it, i like the screen, but im not blown away at all by the rest of it. Nothing new really (the home screen thing looks cool, but depending on it implementation i think it might be a bit of pointless eye-candy.
One hope this doesnt turn into the new P990

I guess we've seen what Orange, Nokia and t-mob do with their existing WM devices, so I would expect it to be no different unless SE have some say as they did with the W800 walkman branding when it first came out

Now that we know more or less what X1 is about here's my question:
Since it seems to be more or less the equivalent of Tytn II, why wait 6-12 months for it? There will probably be a Tytn III by that time. This was just a marketing move by SE to gain some share of the US market. A clever move by the way since they didn't even build the device.
As far as I'm concerned, if I ever decide to buy a WM device I may consider the X1 along with other candidates. So until then, still waiting for what SE will offer as the P990 successor and the Nokia Symbian touch screen device to be announced.
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |
