Yea I understand I would try it with the new updated ROM R2 (but you have already RMA'd it) but I felt the same way - for the price it should be much better - I feel the real problem is with the software and the latest SONY released ROMs have made the phone actually work.
[XPERIA X1 General] derrickonline:
yogi:

I'm fully aware that HTC makes the Xperia. I'm sure Sony had a lot to do with how they wanted their phone to operate. I'm generally just not pleased with it. I feel good about the Touch HD. I think it's going to be the closest I can get to a Windows Mobile funtional OPEN phone with iPhone like useability. I should have known the X1 wasn't going to be much different from an old PPC-6700 that I owned back in the day.
[XPERIA X1 General] yogibear2009:
That's cool man but I would have gave the xperia some more time. I was going to get a touch HD myself but couldn't pass up the price I got for the xperia. And with the new update, touchFlo 3D is butter smooth.
[XPERIA X1 General] bharat4ever:
Have you heard of customizing the phone to suit your needs? If you want it to perform out of the box, then you should have stuck with your iphone
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
you should read what are you buying. Xperia is a professional device, made for use with a stylus or to be customized with alternative interface.

I you want a soap box ready to use go to buy an iphone

different target, different potential, different users
[XPERIA X1 General] derrickonline:
All the customizing in the world couldn't make up for the work needed to get that Xperia up to par.

X1 --- You gotta love it :D
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
the iphone is a joke compared with any decent windows mobile device... a gadget that you have to "jailbreak" just to do something without going the manufacturer's way is a ****ing ****.

anyways, my X1 is fast, actually is one of the fastest (in overall experiencie) wmo devices out there. also, the screen is not tiny, sure the iphone or the touch hd are a bit bigger, but hey, the x1 itself is smaller! do you understand that you can't get both things (smaller device + bigger screen = fail).
[XPERIA X1 General] mrdo:
i don't understand why you decided to get an x1 if you were happy with the form factor of the iphone. i would have thought that the touch hd iis the closest match.

personally, i'm delighted with the x1. it's the first pocket pc i've ever had that actually feels like a phone rather than a pda in my pocket.

i'm more than happy to have a smaller screen if it means that the device is more pocketable, and i get a hardware keyboard too.

admittedly the panels aren't much to shout about but i've got absolutely no complaints about speed on my device. on the contrary, it's the fastest pocketpc i've ever owned.

hopefully the touch hd will be more suited to your needs ...

Are u using Xperia from Sony Ericsson???

Mine is different. Clear screen, fast and wonderful. If I may say, this baby just know what I need.
[XPERIA X1 General] boi ninja:
my SE X1 rocks ....;)

i always get compliments about it! (more than an iphone would anyday) ok the panels are kinda a waste of space ...but still they are still cool.

and yes when i first got it i didnt like the speed and it did lag ...but its now a custom pocket rocket, no operator crap etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i would like to say a friend of mine has a iphone, played with it for a few hours and was very disapointed. apart from the flashy UI its really a rubbish phone (bought through a apple hype machine that tells u its cool to have one). the x1 was hard to get into but some remarks made are rubbish. small screen???? slow? i think not.

ps. bluetooth / mms on iphone anyone, screen rez is poor too and i heard it cant multitask. thats why it runs very fast.

thats my rant over.

u should also check out the phone before u buy it, i checked out iphone/htc hd and blackberry storm. its only when u have it in your hand and have a play u can really decide which is best for u. i needed the hardware keyboard
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
There's always individual need which is important.

Many many users rather want a device to "feel right" than "do a lot". And that's fine.

However IMO the author makes two mistakes: X1 screen is many times better than iPhone, and "iPhone" usability is laugh compared to X1...

And other posters here have it right -great screen, lightning fast, easy multi-tasking, perfect connectivity and all that customisation ...the world's your oyster

Just delighted with my X1 -now that I've made it mine
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
i didnt have wash out... maybe the set is faulty
[XPERIA X1 General] HanZie82:
2 week owner of X1 and some remarks are not right anymore.

The speed is pretty good out of the box. (as thats what u needed)

And compared to the iphone the screen is not that much smaller, but its THAT better. alsmost triple the resolution.

Webpages in full width in one time on the screen (text maybe 1 millimeter high) but its still readable.

And that the screen go's dim is because of some option you overlooked! The X1 has a light sensor wich CAN controll the brightness on the screen.

So if the other "problems" are enough for you to choose that iphone, you probably deserve it. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] cemetry:
The X1 is also my first ppc. I'm very happy with it after reading a lot here about windows mobile and the X1, also the blackstone which is very simillar to this phone. I think that the speed is OK, I had a nokia n95-8gb before and this was much slower than this phone. I wouldn't miss this phone, but sony could more do and making experiments with the Xperia. In my opinion, the panels aren't bad, I'm switching between tfl3d, pointui and the mediaXperia panel, last one could have more functions for multiple editing...

last one, the only thing that I can say: Play a bit more with it and you know why we are XDA fans...

Ooooh yes, you're right! :D

I think he has too much money. When i'm happy with a phone I have it about 2 or 3 years. So I searched a long time for a new phone (over one year) and I found the X1 - i wanted a phone which i can customize like i want...

P.S. the iPhone is a great phone but i don't like apples policy
[XPERIA X1 General] noTHINGface:
... But deep in our hearts, dear fellow experia owners, we know the OP is right...

EDIT - Ok, so the OP is a touch ignorant to a few certain facts about the X1 origins (HTC) but he's correct in other points. WM6.1 is piss poor, the X1 is not as good as it could have been, there are better devices available, but hey such is life.

[XPERIA X1 General] jtoyz2:
easy way to do it is sell your xperia and go back to your iphone, Iphone is easier to use just a bunch of tabs. sounds like xperia is not for you. Xperia has higher resolution than your iphone its a better phone all around depends on who use it obviously, if u liked your iphone so much in the first place why even bother getting an xperia. you can youtube xperia vs. iphone or find picture comparsion of the screen sz before you buy one and then complain about it. It dont make sense to get it and give it one day use and complain about it. Sell it and switch back is your only solution.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Not so I say... I think he was a bit hasty and severly impatient... didnt even try to get on with it and fully experience its potential... it sounds like he was looking to a toy and just chose the wrong one for him... for me its perfect, does all I want it to and much more besides... lovely piece of kit really... and I can make it look and feel how I like... got to love that...
[XPERIA X1 General] shadowmike:
i admit. hearing this phone have wvga and getting a screen thats just as wide as any windows mobile standard qvga screen i felt let down. but over time i feel that the screen is perfect.

if you dont mind pressing the screen all the time then the hd will be your bet. but remember it uses the same type of touch screen so your not going to have any differences there
[XPERIA X1 General] Midi_Amp:
Ouch... Flame posting... Here at XDA-Developers? Wow, the Xperia X1 REALLY is that good. You have to know when fanboys start creeping out on a dedicated mod forum.

So, here's my part of using the X1... It's okay... Urrghh, that's it I guess. It has its own ups and downs, pluses and minuses, but aren't everything isn't perfect? If there is one single device that has it all, it would be called the "awesome phone" or even "God phone"... Hint: It's Palm Pre :D You know, the one that "stole" Iphone's patented multitouch?

I used the X1 bone stock after trying several custom roms. No use of using touchflo when there's an awesome SPB Mobile Shell and Sony Ericsson own home screen panel 2. Just some cabs here and there, and R2A... Oh, I totally peeled off the keypad coating and this thing is just sweet!

Sad to see the X1 successor won't be made by HTC anymore... But till that comes, good times having X1 and being a member of XDA-Developers.
[XPERIA X1 General] mrbkkt1:
weird.. I got the xperia for the size and the keyboard. The panels are cool, except I only really use the media, google, spb, and sony ericcson one (the one w/ the feedreader)

more panels would be nice, and it's way smaller than the kaiser I had before, and although opera took some getting used to, it's better than IE. (and I paid for opera on the kaiser!!!)

I'm happy mainly because it isn't gigantic, I was tired of lugging the tilt around, and seeing how all future smartphones were going to be huge (especially the upcoming htc stuff) I decided to just pop off a few dollars to buy one.

I'm happy with the phone.

oh, only real gripe is that wayfinder sucks... badly. I had odyssey on the Kaiser, and even though the maps were outdated... the interface was 10 times better.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Wrong

I have to disagree about the iphone being an out of the box phone. Were it not for hundreds of hours of customising/editing and creating for the damn thing, it would not have even earned the right to be called a phone. Strangely, it just began to do what a normal nokia could 10 years ago, right about the time i got my xperia and dropped it in a drawer. Xperia is a bit disappointing in terms of the touch screen, it's a ***** to use after using the iphone for so long, horribly unresponsive, but in general as a phone it's much better.

I have TouchFlo3D on there now and it's ok, not the best, a few things don't work on the Xperia like the camera buttons, landscape, why do my volume keys change tracks and not the volume but at the same time they pop up the blackstone volume control?

Anyway, I wouldn't say it's disappointing enough to send it back and go back to my iphone, but coming from Sony Ericsson, it's not nice to go to something as ghetto rigged into being a phone as Windows Mobile devices are.

That being said, I generally don't use the phones for phone features, I text and email more and I like to use it as my music player, iphone did that fine, and i could type faster on it (with corrective input) than on the xperia, but it lacks a lot a simple phone should have.

So far my xperia is about acceptable, and given the time I had with my iphone, and hopefully the community, i think I can probably make this perfect for me.
[XPERIA X1 General] seigfreed:
I think this guy just "Missed judge" his own requirement or just buy X1 without investigating the features. For my self , I think I might be one of the lucky group having 'R1A' right out of the box and...my X1 does work perfectly, faster (from my last ASUS P535), easy input keyboard though the only thing I complain is the WIFI signal which is not far range as I expected, for my daily buisness life. I use it with MBW-150 and JawboneII bluetooth and every thing work perfectly well!! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
I have both an iPhone and Xperia X1i and hope I can shed some light on this situation. I personally love both the iPhone and X1i in terms of their customizations, I can make them fit my need.

Of course the iPhone runs some form of OS that is pretty much set up and easy enough for someone that has little or no tech experience to use. Whereas the X1i is running Windows Mobile and that's a bit more complicated, but has more functions.

Both perform well in terms of performance, I have customized them both and I have to say that the X1i performs faster now that lots of tweaks have been added.

The iPhone tends to lag a bit when using too many programs/playing music and games, whereas the X1i doesn't lag as much, but the lag is still around.

Both are great for music playback, videowise I enjoy the X1i's crisp screen with high resolution.

I mean the screen is .5" smaller than the iPhone's, but the resolution makes up for the size. The X1i is also smaller than the iPhone, though not as thin as it.

The physical keyboard on the Xperia really gives it the upper hand against the iPhone's touch keyboard, which I find annoying especially with missed keys/autocorrect, although Haptic Feedback on the X1's would have been nice.

All in all, both phones are great performers, the iPhone is more pre-set and "out of the box", whereas the X1i is ready for user editing and customization.
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
I loved the phone from the first day!

And what about the screen? it's lovely and higher res. than the iphone.

Although if you have big fingers I can understand that you think it's small, but for me it's perfect =) best phone I owned.

Few hours ago i unlock my phone, there was a problem with radio rom, and my friend recommend to install Kaiser HyperDragon III_WWE version of WM6.1.

I install it, play 5-6 minutes and after this check some delay problem. I make soft restart and after this phone touch screen don't work.

Touch don't response. Made hard restart ... and it's the last think that i did.

At startup i check this "tap the screen to setup your windows devices ....", but as touch screen don't response .. i don't have any progress.

Try to resintall the same WIN6.1 version, but no changes.

Any advice? what's the problem.

Is there any way to fix it ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserII101:
sounds like a hardware problem. Most likely the wiring is bad or corroded. You'll need a new screen or you might be able to fix the wiring. I kind've don't like the fact that our kaisers vibrate at startup because you think it would eventually rattle something loose which may have happened in your case. Before getting a new screen though, load a new ROM. To do it without activesync enter the bootloader mode by pressing down the camera and power button at the same time while the phone is off. Then connect your phone and it should say USB after a few minutes. Then flash

Hi, I've the problem with incoming calls. Afer the ring and pressing the green button to answer the screen is turning off (just like standby mode).

It isn't normal, I think, and very unconfortable to get options while a calling is on. Thanks for advices.

It is normal. It prevents you from touching the touch screen by your ear during the call :D, also saves some energy. If you need for example calendar during the call, you can push on/off button.
