So 2008 was pretty much a wipeout if you were expecting a new UIQ based phone that pushed the envelope on technology (and I don't mean the G700 and G900 phones).
It's such a shame to see
fall so far like this

Well, I came very very close to getting a G900, but did not because it looks and feels extremely cheap IMO (high end SE, WTF?), but more than that because of all the software bugs you get on UIQ, the general lack of speed and usability. I'm sure the X1 will come with its share of bugs too, but the difference is that you always have xda developers who are keen to solve all the problems. its just a shame the X1 is so pricey. Abit of a smaller screen, a regular keypad, for me these things would be a good trade off for a good camera (well, better than the bog standard 3.2 MPx module, anyway) and an accelerometer. WM will always have its users and support. UIQ lacked so much...but S60 is undoubtedly way better, touch or not. The figures speak for themselves. But hopefully it will get an SE UI and SE flavour to it, then alot of people will be happy

@Tigershark42, you are describing the Touch Pro. It does have a few advantages over the X1.
I'm wondering if the X1 will have the same availability of different ROMs as the HTC or will it be stuck with a WM version while other WM devices keep getting upgrades... This should be a legitimate concern given SE's track record.

I have received a few hints from a trustworthy source, and this is my interpretation of them:
We can see from these code-names for 'clone' phones that there are similarities in their names:
Bella --> Becky = Z780i --> Z770i = Both start with the letter B.
Charlotte --> Carina = W710i --> Z710i = Both start with the letter C.
Lindsay --> Laura = S500i --> W580i = Both start with the letter L.
Carola --> Clara = W800i --> K750i = Both start with the letter C.
The hint given to me was:
ying --> yue --> yao
Now we know that Ying is the F305, right?
And we know that Yao is a Walkman phone based on the F305 right?
Well if my interpretation of these hints is correct, then Yue must be similar. I was also told that what we have been told of Yue's specs isn't quite true.
Another thing I was told was that Frances is very nice.

Yeah, obviously this trend won't happen with the naming of all clone phones, but it happens too often in SE's portfolio to ignore this naming trend.

Symbian Foundation:
"symbian foundation products from sony Ericsson in second half of 2009. These will be S60 (compatible)."
So all of you see what is going' on about UIQ/SE...
Story's over..
