deanna, 18 Sep 2008so which one look sharp and clear picture ? 65k , 256k or 1... morealso refer to crow's (20089-09-17 13:21) post:
what crow said is also correct.
but, if you compare 800x480 screen with the 340x240 (for example), still only the number of colors can be shown at any one time per pixel(65k, 256k & 16m).
if your screen has only got 76.8k (340x240)pixels, only 76.8k colors can be shown at a time from the available amount, either 65k, 256k or 16m. with 65k, some colors has to be shown twice to fill all 76.8k pixels!
your question was which one is sharp and clear, it will obviously be the 16m color. but this will specifically be for moving pictures as the variations in color for say 30fps is much more.
although the human eye cannot distinguish between all the 16m colors, the picture will appear sharper and clearer. some people will disagree here again, but that is a fact.
also just remember, it is not the screen of the X1 that has got a limitation to 65k colors, it is MW6.1 that can only process 16 bites per pixels

      i know..
      X1i is 900/1900/2100
      X1a is 850/1900/2100

      .. i have Tmobile. i know people are saying the X1a is the international version.. does it matter which i get? i know ATT works on the 850 network but Tmobile uses it only as roaming? so it shouldn't matter to me? o.O

      am i right or wrong?

      can i just get the X1i imported? and be just fine?

        I just wondered how did almost 50,000 people voted for this device when it is not even in the market yet. Hidden hands of Sony Ericsson???

            Anonymous, 18 Sep 2008is it true there is two verison of the x1? x1a and the x1i?... more

            it's true there are different versions of X-X1
            Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 / X1i / X1c /&/ X1a
            no major difference except for the network supported (which is a minor one: UMTS900 / UMTS850), and the release date/period.

                HTC HD or SONY X1 or SAMSUNG Omnia ????

                HTC HD
                - a good resolution and large screen
                - don't like the design
                - where the hell is LED or Flash for camera?
                - HTC doesn't know what they are doing sometimes
                - I love the specs but not the ugly design
                - how do you scroll up and down?
                - Touch flo 3D ( well not for all programs )?

                SONY X1
                - like everything except the Keyboard
                - awesome design

                SAMSUNG
                - a good size and weight
                - simple yet elegant design (not like shinny HTC... always d.a.m.n ugly with finger prints)
                - very fast processor
                - need more RAM (should have 256 MB)
                - Low screen resolution, should have 800 x 480
                - not a standard USB port

                            SE should build a Windows Mobile handset without HTC.Most people praise HTC but they have made numerous WM phones that preform really bad.If it wasn't for Microsoft pleading with them to increase the RAM modules they would still be using the paltry 64MB chip.WM can be a hit but manufacturers have to give the devices suitable hardware and software.

                              So it's really a good question where gsmarena got their information about it.

                              But as you said we know more in two weeks...

                                Less than 2 weeks till we see a real review I hope.

                                Can't believe this site didn't even give a preview...

                                      Crow, 17 Sep 2008Sorry, but your explaination is wrong! The numbers are p... moreYou are correct the other person has it all wrong,,

                                      resolution is the amount of pixels the screen is made up of which is 800 x 480 pixels,,

                                      the colour pallette is number of shades/colours per pixel which in xperias case is 65,536,,


                                      12 bit screens have 4096 colour pallette whereas the cathode ray tube telly has what they call "true colour" and is 24 bit or 16.7 million colours.

                                      There are others levels in between but some of philips ambilight teles have a 4 trillion colour pallette ,,i wonder who counts these things??????
