Whilst I still quite like the look of the Acer, I have to agree, it’s nothing compared to the Xperia X10, which is one sexy looking machine. 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.

With a good CPUclock management it should never go above 700 MHz unless you decide to encode 1080p. 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).

Well compared to the today-unveiled 1GHz(!) 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.

Why are people so obsessed with clock speeds? 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?

That’s a pretty slick looking device.

But for me, no keyboard=no go

Still, that thing is almost Star Trek cool

Yeah, but poor battery life seems to be one of the biggest complaints about the TG01.
