HTC Touch Pro or Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?

Guys I've been thinking about these two for a while now, and i can't decide on which to buy. They both are very alike.. which do you guys prefer? I really dont care too much for the RCA compatibility feature much.. I really like both phones styles though, the Xperia even looks a bit more flashy. Should I go ahead and buy the Touch Pro with the shorter wait? or should i wait for the Xperia with the longer wait? help me out guys, any input appreciated

SE Xperia X1

My wife is waiting for the Xperia. I think it will be well worth the wait!!!

It's impossible to judge the Xperia right now, it might be an amazing phone, or it might be a really dissapointing fudge of what's already available in the Touch Pro. If the TP doesn't make you want to run out and buy it now, I'd just wait and see, the price is only going to go down in the meantime. If the X1 turns out to be the second coming in mobile form, then you know what to do! If it doesn't, then you'll probably still have saved a little money on the TP, or possibly have something else more interesting on the horizon.
For me, the Touch Pro is nice but not a big enough upgrade from my Kaiser, and the X1 is just more of the same. I'm quite sure they'd both bore me within months, so I'm going to go for something completely different this time around (an Iphone) while keeping the trusty Kaiser in reserve.
Perhaps WM7, and some of the more impressive processors on the horizon, will tempt me back next year. For now, going from one Qualcomm powered HTC to another (in the shape of either the Touch Pro or the Xperia) just doesn't appeal.

does anyone know how good the camera is as far as fps for video capture or how quick the touchpro locks on gps?

I already don't like the surface buttons for the Xperia...imo.
Also the ui buttons are too plain. If I had the Xperia I'd look into skinning asap.

HTC TyTN III is the HTC Touch Pro

Did they actually make the screen smaller on the TP II

I don't think so
I think Touch series is different
There will be a TyTN III, but it's not TP
Just my opinion
TyTN III will tilt, will have more H/W buttons as the TyTN II and hopefully will have all TP's good stuff
Didn't even hear anything abt it or read abt it
Just my two cents

I'm getting the Touch Pro when it becomes available on AT&T. I just can't stand any of Sony's phones... such a goofy looking interface.

Anyone know how much AT&T are going to do them for?

The Tilt was $299 at launch, so I would guess the Touch Pro would be close to that.

Bought Tilt at release for $150 (brand new) with contract. They had a 3day sale or something like that.. additional 50% off.
I'd recommend people to wait for something similar for TP, or ask AT&T about that sale.

when alltheway says touchpro IS the tytn3 it means TP IS THE TYTN3..he knows lol... its been a year since it was released and thats how HTC does it..every year new model in that line... HTC just realized that the tilting aspect just wasnt worth it and dropped the idea. Seriously its a business class phone...people using this for their business arent after the tilting they are after funcionality so HTC made the touch pro as the tytn2's predecessor period

Well, I agree with you that ATW knows what he says
But, the tilting idea cannot be given up.
Well, no one can say that for sure but let's wait and see..
IMO, not a TyTN III
TyTN series (TyTN,TyTN II) never had flushed screens
Only Touch series has that (Touch, Cruise, Dual, Diamond, Pro)
Plus, TyTNs have always had alot of H/W button and that would've been one big essence lack if TP was the *TyTN III*
Let's just hope TyTN III comes next year
I hope I am right cause I absolutely loved the tilting screen

They're not giving up on tilting... that's what the X1 is for.

Worst phone you've ever used?

Doesn't matter how old. What was the worst, and why?
For me:

The Ericsson A1018s.
Why?
For one simple reason - the keypad. Holy mother of all that is holy, the keypad on this phone SUCKED. It was virtually unusable, typing a message would take an eternity because the keypad felt cheap and awful and the input was SO SLOW it was unbearable. It'd take forever for characters to appear on the screen and half the time it wouldn't even recognize your touches. It was one of those scenarios where you would press the button harder and harder til your fingers bled even though it made no difference.
Thank god I don't think I actually owned this phone myself, believe it was my dads for a time who only used it for calls.
The aerial was probably the biggest I'd ever seen on a phone pre-2000, but was kinda cool. It had a sharp point at the bottom of the aerial if you removed it which you'd never get through airport customs in 2010.
This would have been a cool little mobile if it wasn't for the keypad. They even gave you 3 coloured clip-on fronts.
This phone was also called the 'coca cola' phone to some people as I believe Coke had a competition to win this phone on collecting a million ringpulls or something.
A girl I quite fancied bought one after her Motorola got stolen too, it took her years to reply to my texts which made it frustrating to flirt with her even though I had a usable handset myself! Very unfair!
So f**k this phone! What's your worst?

SmS2 ... coincidentally i happen to have used exactly this one...and it was also my Dads passed on to me when i came at the age of using mobile which was 18 yrs at that time ....
but considering the time it was launched..it was a nice phone... with some cool features..
One thing i still remember is that it had the option of switching to line 1 and line 2 even when their was one SIM slot...may be operators that time thought later on thay would provide this option on a single sim
Even the antenna used to work when we removed the extension and i the add on tacky Vibrator had to be purchased separately
Why i liked it...i cud be used as a brick at the time of emergencies

LOL - I kind of have a soft spot for it too. I like all of the oldskool GSM phones really, very durable and, well, phonelike! Motorola M3788 was my first, probably the easiest 0-9 keypad style phone for texting I ever had. Could never see myself going back to one of those though now I'm spoiled by Qwerty, Swype and the like.
Simpler times when the only worry you had was how the HELL you'd afford to keep the thing topped up. No worrying about compatibility, roms, OS's and all of the other stuff we've become accustomed to needing!
Wait a minute, I bought an HD2 for an easier life. BRB - checking my attic.

All my cellies b4 da G1 sucked lool. Specially maa Razr.

Luckyly I did not buyed and sold after 2 days usage

Really can't put into words how bad it was.....

iPhone or more like iPhail.....

for me - iphone

it was also the iphonie for me.

Reception was awful and it weighed a tonne!!

We still have one of those Ericsson A- series same one as the picture! All boxed with everything. Branded: BT CELLNET. But it doesnt work

this sexy phone

^ that is a classic & belongs in a museum

what should i get next?

Hi all,
I have this bad habit of trying out latest gadgets.......
i never had a single phone for more than 2 months...i easily get bored
till now i had many phones.......
iphone...HTC (diamond, HD, HD2, G1, Magic, Nexus one)..plam pre, sony ericsson (satio, Xperia x10).. Palm pre....samsung (some stupid phone) .....Motorola milestone..nokia N97..some other small phones (all in just 1 year )
now i am bored with nexus and xperia and want to try something exciting...but all exciting phones like HTC evo 4g and droidx are only available in US and also CDMA...
samsung bada is not so exciting (No apps )
please suggest something exciting phone i can get in germany......

I think you have had just about everything to date.
Try that new watch phone that LG came out with. It looks pretty cool, reminds me of James Bond

Get the GSM version of the droid x. It's the milestone xt722 or something but it has a 8 mp camera with a xenon flash and a keyboard along with a front facing camera. I would've got it before my Nexus, but it's got Motoblur and it's Motorola....

How about the Samsung galaxy s? Too bad it's very familiar with the iphone design...

motorola is the worst company i would i ever go for...they are against openeness and they can't fulfill my rom flashing addiction....
sold my milestone within 3 days of buying it brand new.....
thinking of N900 or Dell streak...wat say?
but N900 has this bad resisitive screen which i hate.....
i dont know why...i dont like samsung at all...
what do you say XDAians?

no one ...... :'(

Dell Streak is the one for you man not out in your country yet but will be soon and you wont get board with it after 2 months,
PS you must do good business Selling on Ebay LOL

Idk about a dell streak... It's not really portable. It's meant to be a tablet with phone capabilities. You can tell by the way the capacitive buttons are turned 90 degrees so when it's on a table you see them correctly . But still... a 5 inch screen on a phone is just way to big.

Stick with HTC and XDA on what ever you get!

thank you all for the replies...........
Dell streak is good but its on 1.6 ........
most of the other phones Alex530 has mentioned are not available in Germany and they are not GSM too....
@lufc ...i dont sell these on ebay as i have got many local friends who would like to buy phones from me as i am the mobile guru for them here and i still have most of the phones with me still
looking to try Bada os but it has no VOIP app yet which is the major part of my phone usage
i am still confused and dont know what to do............please...help me...

Why don't you turn to some other kind of gadgets?
You have cars, watches, hi-fi, home cinema, bikes, girls (I did not say that! or did I? ), etc, etc.
An all new world for you.

Does anyone remember the Ericsson T28

The T28 was my first contact with mobilesphones (cellphones).
It was my dad (and to lesser extend my mother) that bought one. Have had enough phone talks (thought it was my parents that answered and dialed the calls) with it, to miss it.

Is it the original or a copy? I believe a Lithium Polymer battery was a big selling point for the T28 and the size is different too with some millimeters or so.
The phone is sold for 349+49 SEK incl shipping which is about 45 USD
Have already ordered it, as it seems to be a T28 more or less...
At Priskungen. A not so serious Internet company.
Ericsson T28 or a copy
People be warned this is not a serious company with a proper customer care.
Probably some Garage/basement company, doesn't mean it is a scam but...

I sure remember that phone! I used to have one when I was younger
Before the merge between sony & ericsson I uses to know some folks working for ericsson and they hooked me up with the latest phones all the way until the t68 came out!
the t28 was probably one of the best phones ever made - at the time it came out it was THE best phone, no questions asked!
Although my favourite ericsson phone was the t66 - the ultra tiny one.

I only partially agree. The T-36M was THE best phone ever made when it debuted, before the T28 or T28World Edition for GSM 1900Mhz.
I say get the T36M better BT implemented (T28World had BT, T28 did not), and better battery life. BONUS if you can find 1 of the original 36 that shipped in Canary Yellow. For some reason I still miss that flip and that Antenna. Only recently we're getting phones that could do 6hrs-14min continues calls straight from full charge. That was my personal record done twice 13 almost 14yrs ago with my current girlfriend. WOW!

Hell yes man, this was my first phone. The other day I was on a hunt to find out what the phone was after lots of searching I found it. Definitely a great phone at the time!

Ok
I got my T28s today. It came complete with a charger and battery but no manual
Everything seems to work but... The menu language is all in China signs
Anyone here on XDA having any clue of it's possible to change the language with the installed firmware? Is there any other firmwares.
Also The T28 came without box, just wired together with the charger in bubble plastic and taped together to a ball Those Chineses...
Sadly the antenna the T28s trademark was damaged but still had better receiving than both my X10 Mini and J20i Hazel.
So those fellow XDA members that still remember the
T28 menus, please help me set them to English or Swedish

Sorry for not using Google before asking
I found a Swedish manual in Wikipedia.
Also there was no Swedish language in this phones firmware but luckily enough this phone had the English menu language.
In the manual I found that keying in: "arrow up" 0000 "Arrow down" was an emergency language setting code.
I have a feeling that the T28S will be quite funny for ordinary phone calls as well as one or two SMS.
Using Prepaid so the Internet is not interesting also even thought the T28S is able to connect a computer to the Internet the speed would be 9,6 kb/sec...
The T28s is also from an age before WAP and

I wish I know

I remember it well it wasn't my first cell phone but was my first Tmobile phone.
I loved it's size and form factor.
My little Huawei IDEOS's size reminded me of it.
