Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 on 30 September? (Updated)

That was the heading of a Web site, which constantly reports about new gadgets. It is very exciting to hear, finally, I’m just looking for a smartphone, which can cover my needs. But when I read that article until the end, I was very disappointed. The article contains a list of countries where XPERIA X1 should be available. The problem is, Germany is not in the list! What does it mean? Are the developing countries more interesting markets? Somehow I do not understand why. I hope that it is only a mistake, I can’t accept such disadvantage to Germany. I had many phones from Sony Ericsson and I was always very happy with them, but if Sony Ericsson really not interested in our market, I will no longer buy their mobile phones. I would buy better HTC Touch Pro or HTC Touch HD.

Update:

I read the article again carefully and noted that not only Germany but also U.S. and China are not in the list. It is possible that Sony Ericsson lacks the capacity to provide a sufficient number of devices for big markets. That would be a logical explanation, at least on my part. Although I find it pretty miserable, what the manufacturers and software developers are doing. They tell about a product, though the product is not finished. XPERIA X1 was already announced a year ago and until now we have only a list of countries where it should be released soon and nothing else.

The first official beta of Opera Mobile 9.5

Today finally came out the first beta version of for a long time announced Opera Mobile 9.5.
I waited for this moment very, very long and it was the reason why I decided to not purchase the iPhone. I hoped that Opera Mobile will be a full replacement for Safari Mobile. But my expectations were not met. This beta still quite unstable. The first problem is a long-known bug and occurs in different programs, if the program is running and then the device goes in the sleep mode. After waking up the program does not work properly. It crashes or, as in the case of Opera, it dont’t work anymore. In my Asus I could change to the desktop by getting the shift button pressed, but a restart was necessary because the program did not work. The second disappointment was the display of a site in the overview mode. Unlike Safari Mobile Opera presents a site in this mode very illegible, so you can only guess what field you should center. The center also does not work as I wish or as Safari normally do. For example, if I call cnn.com and get an overview of the news header and would like to zoom in the header, which consists of an image (left) and a text (right), Opera can center either on the text or on the image. Safari Mobile recognizes this area as a block and zooms correctly. The Google website will be displayed not really good too.
All this would not be so bad, it is only a beta version, but it will be sold already with HTC Diamond as a full version. In addition, the developers have been announced Opera 9.5 Mobile many months ago, and showed video how the new Opera works. They took so much time and the result is not very good. Unbelievably …
