That puts it in the NZD$330 - 395 price range.
Probably need to add GST to that. Still if in $380-$455 range would be good.
I think it would be a bit more than that thought given that the u8150 started at $380
SRS is software based manipulation of the audio to produce different tonal effects (eg like the settings on your stereo to make it sound like you are in a concert hall, rock concert, echo etc.
Dolby is similar, but to get the accreditation you must meet certain standards. This often involves spending extra $$$ on better components (eg speakers, DSPs etc) and is designed to be more balanced. Tracks recorded with Dolby Surround sound, actually have 4 channels of surround sound in a matrix on the 2 channels. This extra data can only be correctly interpreted equipment supporting the standard to recreate the surround sound, otherwise you get the standard mono or stereo.
Several websites are claiming Divx, but with an 800Mhz processor your mileage may vary.
Um?? X5 has the second gen Snapdragon. Same processor found in the Desire Z. it is more powerful than the original Snapdragon at 1Ghz.
That's a relief. So it has the Adreno 205 then?
Either way, it looks like Huawei have paper launched it and we're not going to see it in Jan as promised. I really don't understand why the tech companies paper launch stuff as it just pisses people off when they don"t deliver on their promises and earns them a bad reputation in the eyes of the public.

what do u mean by paper launch ?
So when will we see it on the shelf over here ?
A paper launch is when a company announces that a product will be available for sale on a certain day or in a certain month, then fails to deliver on that commitment for whatever reason (technical or otherwise). Often it is done for marketing purposes so they can claim bragging rights for releasing a style of product, feature or service before their competitors, even though it doesn't reach the hands of the end users until substantially later.
I have no idea when we'll see it here. Huawei said available in NZ in Jan, and we're currently at the 28th of the month and no one is yet offering one for retail sale. Nor have the usual advance reviews shown up on local tech and news sites. More importantly, 2Degrees, who are their official suppliers in NZ refuse to talk about it, and their call centre staff know nothing, meaning that a release is some way off at a minimum.
