Some time after I posted this, I ended up getting the HTC Touch Pro, and so far I’m satisfied with it. Great keyboard, great screen, fast response (after flashing to custom made rom though). I didn’t choose xperia because I heard horror stories about them especially the build quality issues. The cracks, paint peeling off, etc has drove me away from getting the xperia albeit its $100 cheaper than the Touch Pro.

But few weeks ago I saw interesting offer on 2 weeks old SE Xperia X1 in black colour and I ended up getting it. I still curious about this device. I wanted to prove myself whether the rumors spreading on the internet is true or not.

Temptations, I have tendency to couldn’t resist temptations, especially when it comes to gadgets. For example, few months ago, my friend Erta lures me into DSLR world. I’ve always wanted to get a DSLR for quite some time.  But usually I can resist it, as long I don’t have direct experience with it . Until some day, I shot some pictures with her camera. And here we go, a DSLR in my hand.

Dopod 838Pro (TyTN) vs HTC Touch Pro (Raphael)

Another one just happens yesterday, when my colleagues just got back from home leave in Jakarta. He just got HTC Touch Pro, which basically one of my most wanted phone  currently, apart from Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 and Blackberry’s Bold. He asks me to configure emails, install applications on the PDA, etc which gives chances to me to explore the device.

My few comments so far, nice shape and form, looks much slimmer and sleeker than my current PDA, a Dopod 838Pro aka HTC TyTN. The VGA (640×480) screen is so beautiful! The keyboard, finally they got dedicated number buttons on top, similar to the full size keyboard layout. Although the keys are little smaller, but still comfortable to use. The performance, noticeably faster, thanks to faster processor and larger RAM. Touch Pro has built in GPS too, and I was amazed how quick it was to get a lock/fix.
