[XPERIA X1 General] pgamble:
x1_wp_r3a.pdf manual

I have the manual above. Not sure where I got it from .... but it doesn't mention accelerometer and it is SEs own May 08 X1 whitepaper.

It detailed many things people suggested the X1 didn't have ... like it does have hardware for 3D accelerated graphics and the supporting drivers ... It also cleared up the actual RAM - 256m rather than the oh ... there is some sort of 400m of something.

Intro was as follows :

3.2-megapixel camera and video call camera

There are two cameras. The main camera is 3.2 megapixel and includes Touch auto focus. A picture can be shared with friends or family, as a picture message or e-mail, or using any available transfer method, such as Bluetooth™. There is also a QCIF camera, for video calls, located on the front.

Photo light

When lighting conditions are poor, pictures can be enhanced by turning on the Photo light.

Video capture

The camera also records video and which are stored in the phone or on a memory card. A video clip can be shared with friends or family as a picture message or e-mail, or using any available transfer method, such as Bluetooth™. The phone supports VGA size video recording at up to 30 frames per second.

•MPEG-4: 30fps at VGA*

•H.263: 30fps at VGA*

•H.264: 15fps at VGA*

Can forward on to people if they want it ....

I do struggle that so many people are worried about WVGA. The G900 ran all the s/w I have without issues including Softmaker Office, CPL6, PI, FM, Pie+ etc ... WVGA is real extra screen estate rather than just VGA prettiness.

I know only time will tell, but this has to be leagues ahead of the Pro.

It is only the price that scares me ... and the fact that there are still performance issues with video at 30fps .... which as you can see from the above is a biggie for me.

The only daft thing missing I can see is the TV-Out ...
