Sony Ericsson goes Windows Mobile!

just saw this a minute ago. looks interesting.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/

Wonder how the screen will cope being VGA at such a small size (size is akin to the Kaiser).
And it's impressively light - hope it feels good too.
Wonder what "XPERIA" panels are.
Photo light is the feature I most miss from my Hermes.
Sounds nice. Might have to postpone my next upgrade until it comes out... Just hope the hardware isn't crippled.

You might allready have seen this (or even posted it?)
It looks so great!

Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1
I thought that this will look great on the Kaiser
http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/

This is the probably the best phone I have seen in a few years. Hope it is really as good as it promises, and if it is HTC will be in really serious trouble. By the way finally a decent screen, only HTC doesn't seem to notice that QVGA is way too little for a 2.8" screen.

800 x 480 on 3"? OMG!
Otherwise, great looks

Looks nice, quick question, is aGPS on the X1 like the Kaiser's GPS in that it operates with "free standing" nav software but does get "quick start" data from the network?? I wouldn't want to take a step back on the GPS front.

It's got US frequencies.. Though it might cost some mula

wow!! looks nice!!

SOLD
I have to admit I'm sold too. . . check out the specs on the product home page. They look really really good. I've learned from my "mistake" with the Kaiser to try the software (drivers) within the 30 days and return it if they aren't up to par with what's expected.

hmmmm... tempting
I never thought I would leave the HTC's!!!
The one area HTC may want to work on is the cosmetics. That Sony Ericsson looks a hell lot sexier than an HTC!

Don't forget:
Release is in the second half of 2008...in the worst case SE will release it before christmas ;-)

wasent it a cooperation with HTC? so in other words this phone is made by htc.. but branded by se ?

This phone is the Holy Grail of Pocket PCs (PDA).

SelMUI 2.2 Confirmed to work on X05HT and X04HT

SelMUI made by cfcompany.co.jp has done me a great service.... for those gaijins that need english on these phones this product works...! No lie it's awsome...! It truly works and i was the guiena! Highly suggest if you want these phones in english without Flashing your phone this is your best bet!

I brought this and installed it on my x05HT and works great as you say, however there are a few limitations;
- The softbank mail app remains in Japanese
- Some japanese specific applications like Navitime, English<->Japanese dictionary are only Japanese.
- Some random kanji still show, like the days of the week in the calander.
The above is to be expected somewhat since these are standalone applications and not part of Windows Mobile.
SelMUI also converts the Touch Flow 3D interface to english.

Touchflo 3D
You can switch the language of the interface just by modifying a registry key and soft reset your device

I'd like to try it for my HT01A, where did you guys buy it?

Touch Diamond 192MB RAM LIE!!!

On the official HTC website it lists the Touch Diamond as having both:
ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB DDR SDRAM
So why when I go System Information on my Diamond, it lists Program Memory as 111.1Mb and Storage Memory as 92.2Mb.
I repeat that's:
ROM: 92.2 MB
RAM: 111.1 MB DDR SDRAM
111.1Mb to run Windows Mobile 6.53, Touch-Flo3D2 and then actually do something is pitiful. I'm booting with 10% available RAM only now. So any talk about how memory works on the Diamond would be nice. I dont see how adding apps (if they don't run processes or services) should add to RAM use but it must be as when I install something I notice its eating away at my RAM on a next boot, when the app I installed isn't even running. Problem seems to be this gwes.exe just getting enormous, currently its a 22Mb process... and I dont have the spare RAM for memory leaks or a process thats seems to increase in size over time on a phone sitting idle.
The other thing slightly off topic is "SKTools" listed the screen resolution as 320x240, which if it is and not 640x480 maybe this phone isn't as great as I was lead to believe. Any thoughts?

maybe its a china phone =)

Yea... This sounds like a bad clone to me.

Are u joking? Its official HTC branded casing front & back and lists as T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (GSM). Bought on Orange early 2009.
How much do u get listed in System Information/ %RAM free on boot , and any tricks I should be aware of? I'm on 95% used RAM so something is gonna have to happen. I currently use the SKTools Free RAM - that CleanRAM app although good and thorough took too long and kept shutting down Touchflo and I'd then have to soft reset, which kinda defeated the object... ^_^

One of my friends who also got his Orange branded diamond had the same issue. He has less RAM than i do on my unbranded diamond.
Also found this online:
"HTC have released the P3702 in Taiwan. At its core, it's HTC's Diamond handset, but with a few changes – one of which being cosmetic. By that, the back is plain, no diamond-esque lines this time around. Now, that could be a positive for some, but the second difference won't be to anyone. The Diamond has 192MB of RAM – whereas the P3702 has 128MB of RAM. On the Diamond, 64MB of the 192MB RAM is allotted to the dedicated video chip, so, for the P3702, that means less memory for the user, and possibly no video acceleration, but there is no confirmation on that. No word on whether or not it will be released outside of Taiwan."
http://www.pdasnews.com/articles/htc-p3702-–-same-diamond-less-ram-and-plain-back-2.html

Just a bit of an FYI, T-mobile MDA Compact IV lists:
Program: Total 115.03 MB
Storage: Total 83.56 MB
Device information though lists the RAM size as 192MB, and Flash size as 256MB.

I got it secondhand but it came in an Orange box and the back cover was Orange branded until I switched for plain one.
@vss1980
Good idea! Hardware Information in Settings lists:
RAM size: 128MB ---> must be the 111.1MB I keep filling up
Flash size: 256 MB ----> errr....??? I get 92.2Mb see below
Storage size: 92.18 MB (strange not rounded)
Screen res: 480x640 65K colors
Looks like I have a 128MB RAM model So I don't get it, where is the 256MB Flash?? Is that the 92.18MB Storage + windows? Or is the 256Mb flash actually 92.2Mb storage + ~160Mb for video acceleration and therefore hidden? OR is the 256MB Flash the RAM + ROM (what I call Flash) added with ~32Mb missing?
HTC website lies about my RAM then the phone lies about my Flash size ^_^

i have read this somewhere in the forum ...192 mb ram are just for marketing
in reality are 128 ram ( 113 actually ) for win mo and 64 mb for the system behind the radio (gsm,wifi, etc) , and rom 256 (wim mo 6.1 official 146 mb + 98 for storage)

AHHH thanks very much Logix I can now sleep at night. This explains it perfectly.

My CDMA Sprint Diamond says it has 203.59 Program and 91.05 Storage.
I have heard the CDMA Verizon has less. Maybe yours is the GSM gimped version like the gimped Verizon model.

[Q] Install extra language on WP8

Hello,
I am planning on buying a HTC 8X with Windows Phone 8. As a previous Windows Phone 7.8 user (I own the HTC Trophy), I have a question about the display and keyboard language on my new phone.
My question is, if the device I buy is the German Vodafone version can I add the Greek language (my native) even if it is not listed in the languages list?
Another question is, if there is no way to add Greek language as the display language, is there a way to add just the greek keyboard so that I can write greek?
Thank you in advance

all WP8 devices have all supported languages in WP8... no need and no possible to add additional language...

on unlocked/custom ROM Wp7 with Native Keyboard maybe?
with WP8 only in settings you can add available keyboards

My unlocked german Lumia 920 allows me to install the greek keyboard under Settings / Keyboard
As for UI language I can't tell as they decided to write language names in the UI selection in the countries letters and there's quite some that I can't read. How would you write "Greek" in greek?

Well, Greece in Greek is 'Ελλάδα' (Hellada) or sometimes 'Ἑλλάς' (Hellas).
Perhaps somebody can inform me if it's possible to install extra languages but retain a certain (fixed) keyboard lay-out.
That is to say, I tend to converse in English, Dutch and German all the time and sometimes in French. I would like to be able to install these dictionaries and use the languages interchangeably, but keeping all the same QWERTY-layout all the time.
In other words: when I write something in German, I want the keyboard to retain the US-style QWERTY-layout that in standard in the Netherlands, rather than the QWERTZ-layout that is standard in the German-speaking countries. Similarly, the keyboard shouldn't switch to AZERTY when writing something in French.
This piece of information I haven't been able to find out from the documentation on-line. Because utilities such as Swype and especially SwiftKey do not exist for Windows Phone (yet?) it's something I'd like to know before I make the plunge.
