Hopefully the conceptual videos that have been leaked for the X10's user interface (or user experience as SE are apparently calling it) are close to how the thing actually works in practice when it's released.

So if they would implement the right software, there would be no problem to put in a 1GHz-powered CPU (that almost never will run at 1 GHz).

XPeria X10 it looks *plastic* :-( OK Acer's out of my personal contest. Lets wait for the HTC Dragon, otherwise SonyEricsson's device will be my favourite for my contract renewal in February.

It's like being obsessed with engine size in a car, whilst ignoring aerodynamics, braking, handling, efficiency, and all the other engineering input which leads to overall performance. As I understand things, the overall architecture of the chipset and how it interacts with itself and other parts of the machine are also important. Does it ever occur to you that there might actually be a reason that a handset manufacturer would turn the clock speed down? Have any of the clock speed naysayers here actually played with an underclocked snapdragon powered handset and been disappointed on the grounds of speed? Why are people so obsessed with clock speeds?
