That is correct, I was thinking of it often.
There's a significant difference - sometimes at least - between
user experience and reviews experience.

Reviews are needed but sometimes reality is different plus
the device usually gets updated/improved yet the review stays as it was....
I also read so many good reviews of devices which
turned out to be bad in every day usage.

Also, decisive factor is always user preferences...
X2 solves most of my needs,
X10 doesn't at least in two areas - lack of hardware ctrls/keyboard
and I definitely want to stay with WM
I don't want Google.

We will see if X2 will get any optimising updates.
It's well manufactured and makes great photos what I really like,
plus - observe - they say that all the WM strenghts are there.

In the end I rather need a business than multimedia device,
I mean music is my core but I never watch films...

I also don't think WM 6.5 is much more resources hungry than 6.1.
Yet they just claim it's a bad processor responsible for lags - on what base?!
I have X1 on the same hardware and Flash Lite works fine until the buggy Opera 9.5 crashes,
but videos work fine and content too.
Just an example...

I learned my lesson - as MANY users were complaining how bad X1 was out of the box,
I'm still surprised that my X1 works 13 months now without single update nor tweak
and huge amount of installed software inside.
Flawlessly, fine.

We'll see, I will get it in Feb and see how it goes.
Truly, nothing else is interesting enough - for me - to switch my interest....

well said...decisive factor is always user preferences and of course reviews, comments, recommendations, after sales service, specs etc will be put into consideration when buying a phone.

phone reviewers are just like us experimenting things and probably the difference is some of them "get paid" to make a "scripted reviews" and thus always triple check their statements

yes, in fact i've tested the demo unit but doesn't have the time to play around with all the functions, no complaint whatsoever except the price and i prefer the look of x1 more with the diamond alike contour....not very much different with the x1 though. i'll wait for vivaz and make a thorough comparison with x2 before deciding on my next phone

@X2 is a great phone - I bought mine 1 week ago and I am VERY happy with it;
@X2 Landscape mode - autorotate function works pretty well, so you DON'T need to open kayboard to go to lanscape mode. In the same time IF/WHEN you open the keyboard - it always goes to landscape mode. When you close it - phone goes back to autorotate mode.
@X2 reviews (gsmarena etc...) - they are complettely NOT correct, I will say it again - It's a great phone (best on the market for now) and it worths every cent I paid for it (500 EUR)
