Ok, the N95/N96/N82 is not comparable to X1. They're in different segments and comparing them would only embarass Nokia. Also, regarding size, the X1 is a bit wider and a bit longer, but alot thinner. In total, the X1 has a volume of 97cm³ while the N95 is 110cm³ The N96 is a bit smaller but still larger than the X1 at 102cm³.

In short, the X1 is smaller than the full-feature Nokias and still beating them on features.

The next one really annoys me. Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Embedded CE DOES NOT have a cap in color depth at 65k. That is simply not true, stop saying that.

Windows Mobile 6 (and WeCE) supports pixel depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 bpp. (Source: msdn.microsoft.com)

16bits = 65k colors, 18bit = 262k colors, 24bit = 16,7m colors.

So, WM doesn't directly support 18 bit colordepth (262k). Are we bothered? No.
The reason most WM phones use 65k is that converting the framebuffer takes CPU cyles. Using GPUs takes more power and costs more with little benefit.

WM doesn't cap at 65k colors, the CPUs and cost-aspects do.

The Xperia seems is a no expense spared kind of project and I'm sure every level headed person will agree that sweet screen is one of the best ever produced.

    you are right dude, HSUPA stands for High speed uplink packet Access, basically HSUPA enabled phones fall into the category of 3.5G (4G would be WIMAX AND LTE-Long Term Evolution)

    HSUPA enables the user to upload data on the server through wireless link at high speeds like 3.4Mbps, it will always lower than HSDPA.

    Like in GSM you have EDGE similarly in UMTS (WCDMA) you have HSPA =HSDPA+HSUPA

            By HSUPA enabled im pretty sure you all knew what i meant, im just getting sick of seeing same old N82, N95, E90 vs. X1, QVGA this, VGA that, TV-Out here,no Touchscreen there. . .blah blah posts and no real info and interesting facts about what it and WM6.1 are bringing.
            What does HSUPA do? And what does it stand for?

                Isn't there anything better to talk about this device instead of comparing it to N82 or whatever over and over again? Anything new?
                What GPU is it using?
                What countries are HSUPA enabled?
                Etc. . .

                    If you want a real device with real features and functionality then choose a X1.If you want a regular phone that trys hard to be more choose n82

                          The Nokia Tube will annihilate the X1 and all other high-end phones. Just wait and see. Even SE fans would be drawn to it and might even consider getting it instead of the X1 =)

                            Not everyone needs the extra functionality of a X1 type device.The N82 might be more than enough for some.Each to their own

                              Yes, I agree with the post below. N82 does beat the X1.

                                    nokia is not the best.
                                    they are just popular.
                                    by far SE gives high quality phones.
                                    people just buy nokia and not look on other mobile brands because nokia fans always do the false talking.

                                      N95 might be king of smartphones but xperia x1 is not a smartphone.X1 is a Pocket PC

                                        Oh common N-series are not professional devices.You can't even copy and paste a snippet of information on a webpage.
