Actually, that's not exactly true. If you go through Dell Outlet, you can buy anything you want. Sure, it's not new, but it's close enough.

I checked out the Windows Team blog and noticed the following (potential) red flags for me personally downloading the Windows 7 build on Friday that I thought I'd share with the class:

"The Windows 7 Beta is going to be available download-only (we’re not sending out physical media) and available for a limited time to the first 2.5 million people who download the beta."

and... the big bombshell:

"The Windows 7 Beta only supports Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. So if you intend to do an upgrade – be sure it is on a PC running Windows Vista with Service Pack 1."

I'm not as interested anymore.

I checked out the specs and interestingly enough, it's got a 16gb SSD and it comes with XP Home. Maybe that's why it's a Limited Edition?

Rather interesting stuff.

How's the battery life compared to the first iPhone? I know that Mossberg and the other reviews slightly covered this, but I'd like a bit more in-depth response if at all possible.

Looks like a nice case, but the site's down. I found a guest review on IpodObserver.com and he has some less than positive observations of it:

I received mine today. It does work okay, although not as smooth a glide as the screen itself but:

-It feels cheap and looks a little bulky in comparison to the incase slider

-Air bubbles between the phone and front of case appear when you touch the screen

-Unsure of possible friction damage would appear as per the slider, but its not a tight fit

I wouldn't recommend this because of the air bubbles and the search for the perfect iPhone case continues...

@helix:

Everything I've been reading about the X1 has said that it's going to be released with WinMo 6.1, as it'll be out in a few months, tops. WinMo7 is still being developed and, according to the internets, won't be released until 2009.

According to CNET, with regards to a WinMo 6.1 release, they say the following:

"Windows Mobile 6.1 will be available sometime in Q2, and a number of manufacturers (HTC, Samsung Electronics, Motorola, Pantech) and carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Alltel) have already announced that they will offer the upgrade. A sample of supported smartphones include the Samsung BlackJack II, AT&T Tilt, Sprint Motorola Q9c, Sprint Mogul, and Alltel Touch. For the full rundown of devices and features, check out the Microsoft Windows Mobile Web site."

I have to agree with Chris. I still have the a900 myself and it's been a great phone. Matter of fact, this month I've had it for 2 years and it's still going strong.

I am looking to upgrade phones this September when our contract is up. It's currently between 3 phones: The 3G iPhone, the Samsung Instinct and the Sony Ericsson EXPERIA X1.

My only hesitation with the X1 is it's using WinMo 6.1 and every single friend that I know that has a WinMo phone absolutely despises WinMo. Not just hates it, or dislikes it... despises it. That's not exactly a vote of confidence to switch to a WinMo phone.

I'm a bit confused at the video portion of your review. Are you saying that even if you threw a 320x240 M4V video file onto it, it wouldn't play? You absolutely HAVE to use their Media Manager software?

How was the Windows Media Player functionality for syncing? I use playlists almost exclusively, so I'd be using WMP for that; not just drag and drop through Windows.

Since you dog the Bluetooth integration, are you suggesting we save the $20 and get the A729 instead of the A829? The only difference in the 2 models is BT integration and since I'm going to use standard headphones anyway, is that a good idea?

Is there anything you DID like about the player? I don't care about the included headphones - I've got a better pair that I bought awhile back.
