Firstly, thanks to everyone who left questions and… here are the answers as promised. Most of the questions seem to fall under a few categories so I’ll answer them that way.
The Chipset: We chose the Qualcomm 7200A for two reasons. 1: It is a chipset that we know and trust, we’ve been able to optimize the device to significantly improve its performance. We’ve also improved the way the device manages its memory so we get a better multimedia experience, a more responsive camera, panels and panel management. 2: We wanted the X2 to come in at a lower price point than the X1. Rather than start work with a whole new chipset we chose to develop what we were doing with the Qualcomm to maximize the power / speed / cost ratio.
The screen: We chose the best possible TFT LCD we could find and we’re sticking by it – the vibrant 3.2 inch display on the X2 has high color saturation, high speed and contrast and a great viewing angle. Sony Ericsson will always look for the best and brightest in display technology and for the X2 we are happy with the display we chose.
The FM radio: This won’t be available at launch (sorry) but we are listening to your feedback and will work to bring FM Radio in at our first post-launch software release that will be free of charge for all users.
Panels: We will continue to develop panels for both the X1 and the X2 – look for more details on new panels right here on the blog.
If you have any more questions, keep leaving them in the comments and I’ll update this post.
Thanks again.

17:23I concern the price only. That’s all I want to know, thanks. I’m sure that X2 will be better than HTC TOUCH PRO2, that’s why i’m waiting. Hope SE Xperia team bring us the pleasant surprise.

19:39Hi,
Will xperia x1 get also that update that improves performance?
Will xperia x1 ever be able to play a movie at 800×480 at a stable frame rate? or should we re-encode things to 400×240 and use only 25% of all the pixels that the screen can produce
Will we be able to rip out the panel manager of X2 and put it on x1? and same goes for the panels? ( yes i know you guys wont bring it out for x1 but well we ( x1) users want some of the siny too .. since x1 and x2 are the same phone .. we could have the same performance.. right? or am i now telling things that you guys dont want to hear? the only thing you guys really improved was tv out and adding gsensor.. and sell it for the same price

01:43When X1 was announced, it was said X1 has accelerometer on it. But, we should slide the keyboard to change from portrait to landscape. Will the X2′s accelerometer just like X1′s ? For what does it use for ?

09:43So with all these new optimizations, it would be safe to say that the X2 will run faster than the X1, correct? e.g. switching from portrait to landscape, panel manager, speed of scrolling, load times.
Also, does the new screen provide a better color display now that it has a high color saturation, [better] contrast, and high speed?
Lastly, great to hear about the new Panels for BOTH the X1 and X2! Thank you for doing your best!

If they were doing their best, they would provide a WM6.5 update for the X1… but they aren’t

16:09Hello,
I would strongly recommend implementing Radio
in X2 firmware.This is an application which is stronlgy in demand by users,
it would be a terrible lack if the device would not have it. 1 0 -

14:22a question alot of us would like to know what is so special about the korean region that they received the spb mobile shell panel 3 and xtrakt game officially, and we in other regions cannot get them both?
if this is the way we will be treated why market the xperia brand to us then.
equality for all regions is all we ask…this is why many users on the xda forum will not purchase the x2, the mere fact that support for the x1 has faded

23:29How soon will this be released in the US? I noticed that it was on the SE European website, but not the US one. If it is released in Europe before the US, could I buy a European unit and have it work seamlessly on the ATT network? Please advise. Thank you!
