Besides that country list, SE also unveiled its representative for Q&A session. This SE’s spokesperson will be Magnus J Andersson, he is the current Xperia™ X1 Senior Product Manager. This Q&A session is one of the thing that I really want to involve in. Inside of this session, I  am going to ask Mr. Magnus with two simple question; “Who is responsible for manufacturing this handset? Is it HTC or SE itself?,” second “Why SE has picked Windows Mobile as the OS for this handset?” Well, that’s all stuff that really want to know from this handset.
