It is using a much more recent ROM update. The phone in the webcast is using an older ROM that doesn't have all of the latest and greatest speed fixes. Also, i believe that this guy has been using that phone for the last 7 months and if that's the case then that phone might only have 256M of RAM vs 384M in the later hardware revisions.

uhm, "This guy" is "Senior Product Manager" he is representing this phone. If someone should immediatly get the newest version of the phone, then it's him. )

i would assume the same too...but judging by the speed and responsiveness (or lack there of) of his phone, I can't help but think that he has an older version. Especially in comparison to the link that i pasted above and in bengalboy.com's review of the latest rom.

thnq It's better but the phone was "empty" :P

He did mention that he had, had the phone for over 6 months.... could easily be an older version.

I think we need to differentiate whether it is the UI that is fast (while the apps and stuff are loading in the background), or the whole machine itself is fast or slow. This makes a great significance meaning if they have put the UI on higher priority than apps and other processes, the machine can appear to be very responsive and snappy, but cannot accept usable input until the apps and processes catches up with the UI. I think the iPhone does a bit of this, just so to get wows from users.

Apple knows so well how important first impressions and eye candy are....

Real world testing is much needed.

Wait up a sec. I'm a little confused. Is the X1 gonna have 256 MB of ram or 384 MB? Cos KevVo said that the latest revision has 384 MB of ram. is that true????

[duldi]

Mr. Anderson (Senior Product Manager) said in the webcast that the X1 is going to have 384 MB of RAM.

whoa. if thats true then the xperia will be amazingly fast wont it?
