Answer your question

Yes, I would still buy an X1 now. Good business use phone with media functionality. As with all things, it comes down to your priorities.

For me, it was a higher screen resolution within a smaller form factor, a keyboard and 3.5mm headphone (to save on cables, adapters etc when travelling).

I considered the TP2 but didn't want the larger size and the lack of buttons on the front.

Panels / Touch Flo was much lower down in the ranks given you can just visit this site and get anything else you need / want. More than likely, depending on your type of use you'll end up mucking around, do a hard reset and then just add what you need.

If you want to play games first and foremost the X1 isn't the phone. It does them perfectly well, but other phones are more focussed on that.

Good luck, and at least you get a choice in the matter. Why not visit a shop where you can play with them all side by side. Even if you cannot get into the detail, you can at least find the form that you prefer, then search the net for the functionality.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
In the end it is up to what you use your phone for. I mean, if you like watching soaps or other movies on your device watch out for a big screen and maybe 3.5mm jack. I don't like Xperia's screen but I love the keyboard. I can type very fast and neat on it.

For me it is also fast enough with it's processor. The camera is okay, well, it is actually more than okay. You got a LED light here as well.

Speaker is weak and so is vibration, but if you do not mind that all you can go for it.

I mean, if you have a good offer, why not?

Let us know what you decide for and if you are satisfied!
[XPERIA X1 General] revs1990:
what about waiting for the X2 or Rachael?
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Because they are not even annonced yet?

I guess the thread starter wants something NOW, otherwise he would not have opened a thread here. Acer builds good smartphones now as well.

There are so many other options: Acer Tempo M900 or like mentioned before Samsung B7610 (what is my favourite at the moment...but I have to stick to my Xperia anyway : ( )
[XPERIA X1 General] combo1234:
thanks for the answers,

the samsung is not option because its not avaible yet and I have to buy the phone in a week, also could see Acers in my country.

if we're talking about iphone 3gs and not 3g, it would be better choice between it and xperia?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] hatlo0or:
combo1234

im truly sorry about my first comment , my Xperia was driving me crazy with the keyboard problem & when i went to SE they said they have to change the keyboard

so i went back home & opened my Xperia & cleaned it by myself & now its working 100%

If you are a more into games & stuff like that go with iPhone 3GS ,

if ur looking for a normal fone which is almost perfect go with Xperia

the Tweaks makes it even more perfect

TD2 is not better than the Xperia.​
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
You know m8te...the longer you wait then the less you should get the Xperia, cause overtime there will be sequels and newer X1 Killers.
[XPERIA X1 General] cenkaetaya:
i would get the x1

i just went through the touch pro, treo pro, and now on the x1

and it is significantly better then the other two.

TP2 has no 3.5 mm jack

so its a waste of money.
[XPERIA X1 General] xxnoelziexx:
My phones have been last 2 months E90 - Touch HD - E75 - Touch Pro II x3 (wobbly screen)

Now thinking of getting an Xperia on the cheap to use for a few months. I had one months ago and it was a good phone. You can pick them up now for around £200 -£250 second hand which is not bad. The Touch Pro II is a brilliant handset but design flaws are the biggest negative for getting one now.

Xperia is a decent handset and if you can get one for the right price snap it up. In the current climate we all should be watching our spending.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
How was the Nokia E90? It was one of my choices instead of the X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] xxnoelziexx:
The E90 is one of my best phones I have ever had. It never lets me down.

great battery, large screen so easy to use.

If you can get over the size it is a big phone. I have had about 5 in total now. If you get one make sure you get one with the new flat keyboard as the keys are so stiff on the early versions.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
How do I know which version I am getting? Which keyboard would you say is better, Touch Pro2 or Nokia E90? How loud are the speakers (I don't care about call quality loudness but about the music and movie experience)? Does it work with the 16GB card?

And did you just say you've had 5 Nokia E90's or 5 different phones you have used?

Man it's been 6 months and I still have my original X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] xxnoelziexx:
5 different E90 had two red and three black ones. First ones were the ones with raised keys and a nightmare to press or type for long periods. The new redesign of keys are very good. Keyboards are about the same I can type on both around the same speed.

I do really like the Touch proII feel in the hand it feels better than the E90 imo.

Try and demo the handests you want and then make a choice.

You will need to contact the sellers regarding the flat keys it is easy to tell. Trust me don't get an old model the keys are so stiff.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
How many years have you used the E90 series. What were wrong with each and everyone one of them? Why did you switch?
[XPERIA X1 General] DatDereX1:
x1 is hella sweet bro.

get an Iphone if you are not smart enough to use windows mobile.
[XPERIA X1 General] ivo34:
I think,if you like a toy,iphone,all is allready down;but,if you like the discovery word,the xperia ,because have so many problems and to found the solutions is very interesting,with xperia you build your own word,I did wiht mind,and I am very satisfaced with the results!!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
True... :)
[XPERIA X1 General] xxnoelziexx:
I got different phones to test and use over many years. If I was to list every phone I had it would be very long. The E90 in black shiny finish I will never get rid off use it for backup.

The E90 is very old and is still one of the best handsets Nokia have done.

Every phone has flaws you either live with them or replace it. Lets get back to the Xperia I have just got one which will be delivered on Friday got it for £240 Brand new in silver. For the price I think I didn't do too bad.

The Touch Pro II is a great phone but is it really worth an extra £240 ish more.

No way. Over the past few months I have been less and less fascinated with phones I have a problem I want the latest and greatest.

But when you really think about it what we really want from a phone is Practability

thats were the Xperia ticks all the box hence why I bought it again.

Hi,

I've installed taskiller 1.5 on my G2 but it doesn't seem to work when I try to stop all applciations.... well he closes everything in the TasKiller list which is fine but when I long-press the home button I still see applications in the "normal" application list which aren't visible in the TasKiller list...

Any idea? I've already reinstalled it... is it possible that the reason is that my G2 isn't rooted?

Any other great applications to close all open app (preferably with an exclusion list)?

Thx!

B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Streaker:
I dont think those apps necessarily are running. It just displays the ones recently used.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] hartyshow:
Hi,

At first your G2 must be rooted !

After that this application works lovely :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] berre:
well the killing in taskiller works, but I still see applications when I long-press the home button...

can someone say for sure if these applications are running or if they are just the "recently-used" list?

I also heard that applications in the background are "idle" in android and don't consume any battery, RAM or CPU... can someone confirm this?

thx

B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] horb:
hi, I am the taskiller's developper.

First : the home button display most recently used apps.

Second : taskiller display all runnings app (and service) except "system", "android core", and phone app (because some guys kill the phone app for test : system will crash sometimes after)

Theses apps are maybe idle and dont consume cpu (but have allocated memory), maybe I will add feature to display the status.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] berre:
Hi, maybe you can exclude the alarm clock as well from the kill-list because I've noticed when setting an alarm, and using taskiller afterwards the alarm doesn't go off anymore!

cheers

Hero and Taskiller..

I have used the Taskiller full version on my HTC Magic, and was always very satisfied with it; now, the same feeling with Taskiller on my new HTC Hero. But, one question, maybe somebody can help me:

I guess due to the Hero's extended UI, there are several new, repeating processes on the Taskiller list (com.htc.provider, com.htc, com.htc.dcs, etc) which I have never seen on the Magic. Could somebody (Taskiller developers?) please provide a list of the essential Hero-specific processes, which should be put on the ignore list on the HTC Hero?

Thanks in advance.

Sure, you can add registry keys manually for the exe files you want to autorotate. I think the application must support it natively though.

I'll have to disappoint you, the ds970 doesn't support that feature.

great headset, does everything I want, and the new phonebook feature is great, without any setup it works on the HD.

you press the button, phone asks if it's allowed to share contacts with the device, YES, and that's it:) only have to do this once

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsane:
Hello Everyone,

I am a recent addition to the WinMo community and to the X1 bunch in particular.

I have been messing about with my new Xperia (hardSPL, Custom ROM etc. etc.) and I seem to have run into a shortcoming that is WinMo related and not ROM related.

Apparently (I have searched the forums for this quite extensively) there is no way to have a notification (sound or vibration) to inform me when an email has been pushed from an exchange server directly to a subfolder of my inbox, based on a server side rule (i.e. having all the emails sent from my office go directly to my inbox subfolder that is labeled Work Emails).

I am sure plenty of people here have exchange accounts with subfolders, so there must be a solution. Moreover, I cannot understand how this feature is present on email clients for Symbian devices for Microsoft Exchange but is not supported in Microsoft's own Pocket Outlook (RoadSync for Symbian has this feature).

So far I have found the following 2 work-arounds (i would not define them solutions):

1) FlexMail 4. I have not tested it myself but apparently it does notify subfolder emails. However I don't like the idea to spend money on an application that cannot be integrated in TF3D or SPB.

2) http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html; This is a small app specifically ment to fix this issue. However it is not compatible with any of the shells for WinMo 6.1.

So here I am asking the community the following question:

Is there any way to fix this?

Is this fixed in WinMo 6.5?

I am not a programmer, but it would appear bizarre that there is no way to associate a notification to an email, simply because it does not appear in the inbox but in a subfolder of the inbox.

Please help a newb ;-)

P.S. I don't mind paying for a solution. As long as I don't have to give up any functionality of the ROM simply to get the phone to vibrate when I receive an email to my subfolders.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sganatra:
Mate, I understand your frustration!

I have found this a pain since I had my first windows mobile device (Orange SPV - and the 14 devices since!) and have given up on M$ ever fixing it (if they see it as a problem!).

To answer your question, No it is not working in 6.5 either.

Here's hoping that it will in Mobile 7 but I ain't gonna hold my breath!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsane:
@Sganatra

This is really bad.

I am hoping someone is going to post and shed some light. What I don't understand is the fact that from a coding point of view this would seem as a trivial matter. All that is required is to extend the settings applicable to the inbox to all the subfolders, in such a way that if a new message in the inbox triggers a vibration and graphical notice the same applies to a new message in a subfolder.

However, the fact that there seems to be no fix for this is very problematic....I have 5-6 subfolders for my email account. All the business people I know use multiple folders...I would go insane if i did not have an automatic way of sorting incoming messages....

I guess I will have to work out a way to get around this problem.

Can someon confirm that FlexMail 4 positively notifies emails to subfolders?

Any other email client for WinMo is most welcome as well.

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsane:
Ok, someone has suggested installing second today and using the blackmonlab software therein.

However, this still appears to be a less then optimal solution.

Hi,

This is my first post here in XDA... :)

I'm trying to make changes to some dll files in WM6.5 (for example the syncres.dll.0409.mui), but I can't find a way to edit and save the changes.

For example:

I wish to make changes to syncres.dll.0409.mui\html\notificatioons.htm.

I rename the file into syncres.dll and open it in a resource editor, like PE Explorer, edit the string and then I save the file, rename back to syncres.dll.0409.mui, and copy it into windows directory.

In WM6.1, this worked without a problem, but when I try to make the same changes in syncres.dll.0409.mui from WM6.5, the process fails. I can't make changes to HTML files.

I've tried several resource editors like PE Explorer, VS, Restoractor and some others I don't remember their name, but none of them was able to make changes to the syncres.dll\html\*.htm resources.

Can you help me please?

Do you know how to edit the syncres.dll\html\*.htm resources in WM6.5?

Thanks in advanced,
