hey,

@ Chris Ziegler, you may want to update the post...there's a bigger difference most people will notice than 24fps vs 30 fps for the video...

the X1a (NA version) will only do video at 320x240 and will not support h.264. everyone else in the world will have VGA 640x480 video recording...BIG difference...

it seems to be related to the qualcomm chipset being used. with the lawsuit between it and broadcom in the states, they had to switch/cripple it...

considering most, if not all, high-end/smartphone/$1000! devices like this have VGA@30fps (nevermind my 2-3 year old Nokia N95), and that this phone was originally intended for the North American market (did i mention the $1000 price?) that's pretty pathetic on SE's part...there must have been another solution they could have used...

Canada is GSM starved. With the Rogers/Fido oligopoly, they control the entire GSM market. I say partner up with whoever you need to and bring in TMobile/et al. We're years behind in rates/services compared to the US, nevermind Europe, Asia, etc. Definitely need some competition, more importantly; choices.
