Wow nice. He seems to really like the X1. I like how he emphasizes how fast it is. All the apps look great. Sucks that there still aren't any more panels to choose from... That'll change soon though. Very good videos though.

This is really great that it works with AT&T. Currently with T-Mobile on a prepaid plan but will have to go back to AT&T I guess. Just have to wait for a case that I like before I buy the phone. Hopefully they bring something out where you can keep the phone in the case and use it at the same time, unlike the current selection of pouches which are out there.

Do you have link to the discussion?

From what I know the Xperia will only work on the higher AT&T frequency, meaning slightly less 3G coverage and possibly significantly less indoor 3G coverage due to the characteristics of a higher frequency.

I don't have have a link to where I read this a few days ago, unfortunatelly.

I wonder if it's really just software...

Well, he has wrong in one topic, there is a battery indicator just next to the "x" in the start menu. but in his case, he got so many icons up there so it got "knocked out". but if you tap that little battery up there and you'll get to the "power settings" he showed. =)
