Some people's Xperia's happen to be in good shape and other people's Xperia's happen to be in terrible shape like mine. You'd have to see it for yourself.
[XPERIA X1 General] salmonsushi:
Absolutely... It's so that they can charge us 700 - 900 USD again. It's like repackaging the same thing, tiny changes, but double the price
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
The changes are not tiny IMO.

I'd like to get it for 8mpx camera alone.......
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
...and what exactly are u gonna do with the 8mp camera, besides the obvious??
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
What do you mean??

I love to take photos, I have my blog, website etc.

I welcome better quality pictures big time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dude, if you wanna tell me that if a device falls from about 3 feet once and it received cracks, and the battery cover paint rubs off in less than a month of ownership, that the said device is a good build then something is definitely wrong with you...sorry to burst your bubble but

almost every

manufacturer test the build quality of their products before release, and the x1 was never tested

or

it was not tested properly

i have owned over 20 cellphones and pda over the years and the worst in build quality is the xperia x1, ironically its my favorite too...that's why i never hate on nokia lovers, bcos nokia just know how to give a strong product

SE had good material on the p1i, that was some good damn material, only flaw on the p1 was the stylus design which they manage to fix on the x1... my P1 is still like brand new without one darn scratch, and i have an inventory of x1 battery covers lol
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
so that's a good enough reason to get X2 then?
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
the point that it cracks even if u dont drop it is a design/manufacturing fault, which they have changed (although the change does not stop the cracking) which means SE knows there is a problem with the design (i think orelsi has been very lucky and and does not understand the cracking problem) also the paint coming off the cover and the keyboard that gets dirty underneath the keys and makes it almost unusable (either not inputting the pressed key or putting 2 of the same command). i think this is the big problem with the x1, what hopefully the x2 will fix (at least for me, as i have sent it back 3 times).
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
that and not having to send your phone back to repair every month
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
Weird this build quality problem with the X1. Wasn't it produced by HTC? I have had a Kaiser for almost two years of heavy usage (had the Wizard before, not as good build quality, but fair enough), and some falls, apart from regular marks of use it is still in great shape. Wouldn't say it is brand new, but pretty good.

Since X2 is produced by the IPhone guys, it is so supposed to be well built, isn't it?

I don't understand why a camera upgrade is considered a bad reason to change a WM by so many. That's been the weakest point of every WM Phone. And if the camera on X2 is not only more pixel count (I understand 5 or 8 MPixel is not an important difference, but may indicate a bigger attention to the camera, better optics etc.), but is a real improvement (specially if it has the Cybershot sensors as Ganondolf speculated) that by itself is a good reason. Let's hope it is this improved. I know I have an old Kaiser, and thus have several other reasons to consider the X2, but the camera is a strong one for me. For X1 owners may be different, but since the camera was made by HTC it should suck anyway, so they may have a point for upgrading too.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
somehow i feel HTC screwed SE on purpose with the x1 lol, i would too if i saw competition :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
this is exactly what i thought. SE decides to enter the wm market (to compete with the top end wm devices) and then decides to ask the company that will be its direct competitor to manufacturer the device and surprisingly there is a serious cracking problem (1 or 2 of the old htc devices i heard had this problem, but as the newer one dont htc must of known the problem and made sure that there newer devices did not have the problem, EXCEPT THE SE X1) i also wonder if SE ask for advice and htc told them that the x1 did not need the drivers?

I honestly believe alot of the probs with the x1 were cause in some way by htc to ruin the xperia name as to not have competition.

anyway the x2 in made by a side company of foxconn, and there products are always very well built.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well not ALONE,

plus better keyboard, bigger screen, better software, etc.

For me good enough to get it.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Isn't that the case with every piece of tech?

Take better care of your device. Clean the keyboard, don't pocket it with your keys, etc. Simple things that should be done about any device. Don't blame SE.

...and I'm perfectly fine, thank you :(...

Lol, I had the same thoughts :).
[XPERIA X1 General] frive:
I'd be very surprised if HTC didnt have to pay some kind of compensation.
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
But if HTC screwed SE with the X1, what's SE's excuse for lack of software support for X1 if X2, supposedly works smoother with similar architecture as X1, why are we, end users being screwed in return by SE, why are we not getting the software support, ya sure there's not much they can do about the hardware but at least give us an updated rom ur something! Cos ultimately it's us, the Xperia users that's getting screwed and that's my main reason why I won't get X2.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
Take better care of your device.

--------------------------------------

something is wrong with u dude, as i said b4, my x1 has never been in a pocket and is always in my hand when im out....how on earth can you stop something from falling, have you ever heard of the words accident and gravity?...btw i dont think anyone is as careful as me when it comes to treating my tech-materials well. im a tech freak baby

i would love to see ur x1 in pics orelsi, and i mean pics with a piece of paper with the name orelsi on it, pics of every side and corner...

i bet u keep ur x1 on wool 24/7 and its always home lol
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
well... I agree on one thing with orelsi, x1 meant to be luxurious stuff, but damn... buit quality is a stinky crap. check on the n97 scratch test videos to see how it should be done. I wouldn't try any of those tests on x1.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
:(:(:(:(:(:(
[XPERIA X1 General] xperia18:
i won't buy the x2...but i will use the new panels for my x1:p
[XPERIA X1 General] Mopral:
If they work on X1...
[XPERIA X1 General] etegration:
yeah exactly. the default one seems darn cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfcTjBFMn0U
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
w00t!!!! My fav thread in the whole world surfaces once again!

I hope we get a "X3 leaked" thread soon...
[XPERIA X1 General] louse666:
Hie, guys. Just wondering to know if the xperia has physical or tactil touch to answer an entering call? Cause I have a touch hd and it's realy anowing me... that's a realy basic specificity for me to not buy one. I can't anderstand how brands could steel cell this like the new acer Touch. Do they try theme?
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Beside that it has a flash on the camera and an AMD Cpu faster than the one on x1...Waiting for official annoucement though.

Love to hear about the x2!
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
where has the AMD cpu come from?

Did not know AMD make a mobile phone cpu
[XPERIA X1 General] XpErIaX1-IdOu:
The new xperia x2....with android !!

The phone is based on the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform, that enables processor speeds up to 1 GHz, and HSPA-speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. This platform will also sport great 3D graphics capabilities.

The phone's built-in camera is an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus. There's also a 3.5 mm jack connector as well as a mini-USB connector at the top of the phone. The touch screen seems to be quite large, but as of yet there is no specific information about its size.

:O IM SO EXCITED! It literally sounds awesome! Then again so did the X1.... But with 1GHZ it would be really smooth - sounds really good!

WAIT A MINUITE - ANDROID!? I want Windows Mobile!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
that is one sweet design, only if that is real and not a concept...with 1GHZ then i guess the animated windows and menus will be on by default and not off, i do like the animation but damn it turns my device into a turtle
[XPERIA X1 General] THJahar:
looks great, speed and camera, but .... don't think it's the X2...I think it's the X3, I'm pretty sure that the X2 is going to have a keyboard, and I'm guessing that SE might release the X2 and X3 at the same time so they can cover both markets...those who want HW keyboard and those that don't mind SW keyboard
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
W00T !!!!!!!!

http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/04/sony-ericsson-rachael-android-xperia-handset-unveiled/

Android Xperia?

DO

NOT

WANT
[XPERIA X1 General] etegration:
1Ghz processor, 8mp cam...but no kb!
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
And its Android!!! :(
[XPERIA X1 General] tjex:
Well, since the cat is out of the bag, I might as well break it to you guys.

It's not the successor to the X1 and it does't run WM AND it wont be out for quite a while!!! :(

*Edit*: Just noticed that the article also mentions that it's Android based
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
awww - Sooo lets hope the x2 will be WM and just as awesome but with a keyboard!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
The rumor is that the X2 (WinMo, keyboard) and the X3 (Android, no keyboard) will be unveiled at the same time. SE is going to make a killing with those two devices.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
wishful thinking that one of them will have tegra integrated...
[XPERIA X1 General] hrcro:
This four squares remindes me of winmo logo, so i am not losing hope that it might be winmo :D
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
Why do you guys need this stupid slow, buggish WinMo?

I think android based phone would be much faster and smoother!

The only thing I'm concerned is battery life. What would it be like if there is 1ghz cpu inside? I expected improvement in battery life and temperature =)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Haha ROFL ..............
[XPERIA X1 General] souljaboy:
if its winmo/keybaord/1ghz im getting it no matter what it looks like :D
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Souljaboy tell'em ! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] zelduy:
sigh hope they release the WinMo version.. but I don't want the first post one lol.... if X2 like the first post I'll stick with X1 and wait for Palm pre I think :P
[XPERIA X1 General] BuddyLee:
lol, ayouuuuuu
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
i'd have to agree .. if the keyboard works. the phone is faster. and it's winmo.. i couldn't complain 'much' ..
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
Cheeeeese and Crackers thats a sweet keyboard... i really do hope they keep it for the x2... i'm really takin a leap of faith stickin with you sony ! don't let me down now! not after all these years of playstations and psp's and phones and walkmans please not now...!
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
whats so funny? does your x1 work on a light speed?
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Yes. I guess your X1 doesn't?
[XPERIA X1 General] carlo.putra:
F**K! F**K!! F*********K!!!

F**K!! Does this mean that our chef's gonna stop cookin for X1 and move on to X2 or Rachael?! F**K!!! :mad::(:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
NOPE. X2 isn't made by HTC which means we will not get any XDA support :(.
[XPERIA X1 General] steph3n:
any clue of when the official announcement going to be? do we have to wait for the next MWC...then another year for the actual release? hahaha... but this does look like a pretty awesome phone
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Everyphone is going to retire one day or another. Who cares, why not just wait for the sequel that runs faster?
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
no, its not. I'm tired of 1-3 secs of waiting just for regular phone functions.

If it was just FAST and stable then I won't change it for anything other for a long time...
[XPERIA X1 General] yeouda:
so what? xda depends on winmo or android, in what htc is linked to the pb?
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
im pretty positive this site is for HTC manufactured phones running either android or windows mobile..

since the X2 isn't manufactured by HTC having a place for the X2 here on these forums probably won't happen..

the problem not being HTC but lack of HTC manufacturing lol
[XPERIA X1 General] yeouda:
my question is, why has it to be made ONLY by htc? there is a contract or something?

my point is, if the phone has windows mobile, whqt do we care if htc or LG makes it?
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
FIRST LINES OF XDA PORTAL WEBSITE

Welcome to XDA-Developers.com

Welcome to xda-developers.com

This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.

do you see any LG or Samsung phones with their own forums on these boards?
[XPERIA X1 General] yeouda:
ok got it, thx

anyway, let's hope HTC will made a good one, or I feel that I'll have a palm pre in my pocket soon....lol
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Tweak it !!! Use a speed ROM or some of the tweaks for speading up the system that are floating around.
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
which rom is the fastest right now?

I know about tweaks, but i do not see any visible improvement.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Well, you can find several ROMs made for speed in the library.
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
wow.. makes me sad to share this if it's real

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk329CfRCzw

supposedly an x2 vulcan.. must warn.. severely choppy crappy video ahead... mr blurrycam takes it to a whole new meaning.. but! you do get to see what may be the x2... and its 6.5 tender bits....if so ... and if you make it through the video... there's bad news...
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
You mean the ARM1136EJ-S bit?

The same CPU that's been in use for the last few years?
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
yea i was hopin to see somethin a bit more snappy ... if you get my drift :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i look at the x2 compared to the xperia rachael and it brings a tear to my eyes.

rachael looks so much better as a handset and it seems SE have spent alot more time with the ui on top of android.

and the specs.

what did us wm x1 user do to deserve this? :(:(:(
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
name them!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
LOL just go to the library and read the descriptions in the ROM list. I am not about to do it for you haha.
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
did u find it none to subtle that the x2 vulcan And the Rachael were "leaked" a month apart almost to rhe day...i didnt

already their official blog has made it clear there wouldnt be any further official news regarding the xperia until later ths year...

so they make scheduled pre planned leaks... watch the rumor mill, and hopefully take notes...

im guessing we might hear abt the real finnished x2 in sept-nov, and mayb Rachael in time for the holidays... or vise versa, considering the overwhelimg positive remarks already made abt Rachael, mayb they'll take Vulcan back to the drawing room for just a bit

one can only hope anyway :)
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I just hope they become generous this time, it's economical for companies to make profits by gradually but very slowly increasing the specs over time.
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
unfortunately, what is stated there is not always working like it should.

I tried several and they're not that fast. So I just thought if you tell me what ROM you have installed and I check it out and let you know if it is fast in my device. Maybe we have different views on ROM being "fast" :D
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Oh, I got it now :D. Well, my time of testing ROMs was a long time ago (a couple of months haha). I am using the R3A UK Generic. It is not as fast as some of the custom ones, but it is definitely more stable. The fastest I have tried was something described as "specifically made for speed" or something along those lines. I believe "Touch it 10.3", "Bxsteez's Lite" and the one made by "norti" were pretty fast as well.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I have a huge hunch that it will not be upgraded...in the real business world there is something called a surplus and the crappy CPU is a surplus...the consumer world = clueless about this issue. And I bet that that they saved the best surplus for their best phones: the X series. Perhaps they have a surplus of other crappy CPU's and they will use it for other lower class phones and therefore Xperia must be burdened with the 528 MHz.
[XPERIA X1 General] laurence0609:
Try those ROM's created by NRGZ, Agent_47 and Smaberg. I have tried a lot of ROM's but these three were the fastest so far that I have tried.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i think the leaks are made by sony to see what people think but what worries me is that rachael has a higher cpu and has a ui made for it and looks completed. but the x2 has a protoype design (which i think will look better as the finish it) but the cpu has not changed and the video/pics show a standard wm6.5 os with no sony ui with the test models. and u would think sony would be testing the ui with the prototype test models
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I don't know...man look what they did to the Touch Pro2 ...they mostly upgraded the keyboard and the screen size....

the same is happening with the Xperia....
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i dont think the shape will change much but i reckon the materials that the casing is made out of will and that will make it look a lot better.
[XPERIA X1 General] xdadJeroen:
hoooii..

can you guys give any indication about the release date..? no matter how accurate.. im looking for new phone(acer m900?, htc tp2?) but im thinking of waiting out the x2's release..

thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
probably late November or early December in the uk, that would make it a year since the x1 was released (in the uk)
[XPERIA X1 General] xdadJeroen:
X2 Release

Can't beleave this ****.. x2's gonna be released in an hour!!.. i'm so f*cking excited
[XPERIA X1 General] ET:
You took to much drugs my friend, drugs make you say stupid things......;-)

State your source
[XPERIA X1 General] markoc84:
Yes please state your source, i'm getting excited at just the thought of seeing me next phone, please let it be true!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
im guessing he means information (official) and not being released (in the terms as sold in a shop).

I have not heard of any press releases coming out today so i would also like to know his (your) source.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
the x2 is rachael, see here on SE wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPERIA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_XPERIA_X1
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Rather wrong.

SE close sources say Rachael = X5.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/04/sony-ericsson-rachael-android-xperia-handset-unveiled/

Hm?
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
dont think it will be called an x5, if the next keyboard wm xperia is an x2 why miss 3 and 4. also there is the probally that this phone (if called the x5) will make the x2 seem outdated prior to it even being released
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
http://xperia-x1.com/
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I prefer Engadget :D.

Pics or it didn't happen!!!!!!!!! Oh wait.........

I don't believe that picture is yours.

Anyways, "Rachael" is the crappiest name ever. "Vulcan" is much better.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
ummm that pic is real alright, i guess im sticking to my x1 bcos that mofo is ugly, its ok to say we buy our handset for features, but im sure that looks are always on the table lol

either i will wait in vein for 6.5 from SEUS and after a while if none, update with the 6.5 (completed version) cooked rom or buy someother handset

the name suits it, i cant picture anything with a name like vulcan looking sexy lol
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
lol thanks for the info dude, but im quite satisfied with my x1 except for the battery cover thing but what the heck, im stocking up on a few covers lol :(

i type on my x1 everyday and i kinda like it,actually i dont ever use the on screen keyboard, and i aint a dwarf either :P
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Thx for pic!

For me Vulcan looks great
[XPERIA X1 General] markoc84:
That looks amazing, where did you get it? when can i get one? I dont get why everybody is saying that it looks ugly, i really think it looks great, slight improvement on the already sexy X1. What are the specs?

Thanks so much for feeing us some much needed info!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] manishbully:
Ohh .. you mean the screen size is still 3 inch ??? not 3.5 or more ???

anyways .. i m very happy with my Xperia X1, and would not mind continuing next Xperia Series... X2 to X10.

Any news when we can have official announcements of the Vulcan(Windows Mobile) and Racheal(Android) ????
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Now you are talking.

P.S. Mom, I'm on the INTERNETZ :D!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] Gilg@mesh:
specs? and the screen still 3" or bigger?
[XPERIA X1 General] Reversedhex:
X3 => kikki
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
No...........

actually, yes.

"Supposedly"

:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
markoc84: working for SE actualy ;) Until official, wont give any specs. But yeah, it has accelerometer, which is working everywhere of course ;) Screen rotation in the main menu is pretty fast (if you compare with X1 and keyboard slide, X1 is really slooow). However the whole 6.5 are still testing version, so damn slow everything.

manishbully: the size is almost the same = I mean the phone itself. Didn't meassure the screen yet, will do the day after tomorrow after i'm back in work and get X2 back. Hopefully they won't take it yet, as I don't have too much time to put my hands on it

Actualy, it's pretty interesting to read all the rumours spreading all over, unofficial (and mostly not true) infos,...
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
INDEED....
[XPERIA X1 General] markoc84:
Wow, thanks for the updates, i really am getting excited about this phone. Any idea about release date? i understand you wont be able to give too much away without getting in trouble, but will it be this year? also is it multitouch screen?

If SE need any public testers than i will be more than happy to help you out! lol ;)

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
as will everyone on here.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Very smooth my friend, very smooth.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
i'll be the canadian tester ;)

that way we can test out the reception in different locations!
[XPERIA X1 General] Bikram:
I could be Canadian Indian tester!! :p
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
is vibration better at all on x2 !? really important to me... x1 vibrating can never be felt imo!
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
To me, the vibrations feel the same. No problems with X1 vibrations yet.. can feel it in my pocket
[XPERIA X1 General] killerskincanoe:
very disapointing news indeed... iv NEVER felt the x1 vibrate in my pocket!

i also dont wear spandex...but idk thats just me.
