very off-topic

lol! never use personal preference? LOL! I don't even care to ever have an Apple product, but I have friends and family that do and your insistance that you're just speaking the honest truth when blindly spewing hatred is hilarious. Just because someone chooses to buy an iPhone, for whatever their reasons, you feel so insecure that you have to call down fire and insult with the best of your abilities, I chuckle. You even have to insult people who simply didn't say something explicitly negative about the iphone.

"It is a glorified mp4 player and barely qualifies as a feature phone" - based on facts, really?

"the iCrap. It is supremely not functional, cannot get any work done and is basically a glorified mp4 player. It is good for only one thing - TO THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE. It does absolutely nothing that a modern device does." - So many facts!

"with capabilities phones had in 1999... features that are 10 years behind modern phones" - so do htc phones, and all these phones have many other capabilities phones did not have in 1999 either, what's your point?

"bulky bricks with outdated hardware" - fact? maybe not industry-leading, but hardly outdated with the cpu, 3d chip, etc. bulky is entirely your opinion

"Resistive > Capacitive. It is not my opinion. It is the universal truth" - then why do a lot of people prefer the responsiveness of capacitive? because it's a preference. resistive CAN be made to be just as responsive, with better accuracy, but none of the current touchscreens are made that way. and it's missing multi-touch, which a lot of people enjoy using. It's a trade-off in usability for many people.

"iPhone is for tech illiterate sheep that want to look trendy in front of their equally degenerated friends" - completely your overgeneralized opinion, and reveals much about yourself

Back on topic:

The X1 has it's issues, but most of the software problems can be overcome with ROM updates, etc but the hardware criticisms, notwithstanding the cracks, (and aside from the suggestion of using multiple screen protectors) are something you have to decide to live before purchase.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Yes.

Yes.

Read it again. You didn't understand it the first time.

No, it is not. Just compare it to other devices.

LOL !!!!!! Talk about contradicting yourself and proving my point in the same sentence. You said it. It is personal preference that (IF) people like capacitive more. The facts are that resistive is better.

Again, it is a pure fact. It is generalized indeed. That is, because 99% of people who buy the i**** fall into that category. The only thing it reveals is that I know what is considered top of the line among modern tech and what is an overadvertised piece of **** device.

Are you really trying to say that the iPhone is not an overhyped product designed for tech illiterate people? Even feature phones like the Samsung Jet are far better than the so called "leader in the smartphone (DOUBLE LOL) market". It is painfully obvious that the iFail is just a shiny toy.

I really cannot comprehend how a person who has a clue about present day technologies (after all, you are posting in this forum) can defend it. I am not flaming you or trying to pick a fight. I am seriously surprised that there are such people.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Well the only thing that capacitive screen is better than resistive is it's ability to sense "slight of touch", but that's it. And people prefer this a lot. Since not alot of people use more precise functions like photoshop on a phone or something like that. Not arguing, just quoted you for people's reference.

I saw your video link on multi-touch resistive so I can't say much that capacitive is the only touch screen with multi-touch.
[XPERIA X1 General] arikado:
The only thing the iPhone has going for it are all the hundred thousand apps. Whether thats a bad or good thing, it's up to you, really (PREFERENCE).

I can understand some of your gripes with the iPhone, but it's something you really have to experience first hand before you judge it completely. You guys have claimed to say that theres no customization, third party stuff, etc. I've been around the jailbreaking community for months, and there really A LOT then you think.

It's the same with me and the xperia. I havent discovered or learned about these roms or whatnot yet, so unless we really experience with both throughoughly our debates are nothing but based on speculation with a bit of preference and NO definite comparative facts besides the obvious (hardware, etc, NOT experience)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I have used almost all of apple's products out of curiosity, presents given to me or friend's devices. Macs, Macbooks, iPhone, iPod and w/e. I have never kept/bought even a single one of them. That's why I speak so bluntly, because I have a first hand experience. You can't get your job done with a Mac. Same goes for Macbooks and iPhones. The iPhone is a useless mp4 player with phone capabillities. It is not even a smartphone. The list goes on and on.....

The iPod Touch is a nice device to play around with for awhile. I am sure a lot of people love/adore their iPhones. I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with fanboys claiming that their device is the best in the world, when it is mediocre at best.

I've owned an iPhone before...I've played with the ipod Touch before...
[XPERIA X1 General] wrocha:
maybe more? obviously more..

mp3, mp4 .. put any player or even the media panel, so whats the point?

internet tethering.. ICS, Wmwifirouter.. simple and usefull i dont see any point here either and how much did you have to wait to have those simple things going in your jesus-phone..

browser.. try to load a page with flash or any complex content.. in wm you do have options skyfire.. opera, opera mini, ie, netfornt.. etc... there is no page you can't browse and imho opera have a nice browsing experience

i hate when people (usually apple users for some reason) use slick as a fact..

HTC devices doesn't need just the developers to push the hw improvement, the users are always looking for the best hardware specs and if you see the competition against samsung and toshiba makes things easier for the costumer.. we do have more options.. want a hw keyboard? better camera? bigger screen? what can do an iphone user to do that?

you dont have to change your mind because someone told you something, just do and like whatever you want, and love your iphone if you want, its ok, i just think you could make a better comparison owning both phones something that gives the readers a good point on the discution..

P.D. i'm not an english speaker, and i'm not a tech expert, but i do like my xperia alot and never would change it for an iphone
[XPERIA X1 General] leoni1980:
I chose not to mention Flash because I KNEW the next reply would bring it up, as if it's the holy grail of web add-ons. YES it would be nice if the iPhone had flash support, but it doesn't really affect me that much for the sites I visit. Let me just test some sites on both my devices....ok so I go to www.riverisland.com on my iPhone....oop no I need a better version of flash...load it up on my xperia....SAME ERROR MESSAGE. ok, YouTube....iPhone doesn't load up a flash player but has an icon which loads up the YouTube player when I click on it....xperia...loads up a full player but it's jerky and horrendous....channel 4 on demand....doesn't work on the iPhone.....doesn't work on the iPhone...doesn't work on Xperia either because the version of flash isn't new enough. BBC iplayer....sends me to an iPhone portal that plays an INCREDIBLE quality h.264 stream....xperia...sends me to an abysmal quality 3gpp portal, although it does have support for live tv.

I'm going on a bit, but the point IS that unless Flash Lite 3.1 were comprehensive enough to allow access to ALL sites its existence is nothing special. The fact is it provides a lacklustre Flash experience which is far from a dealbreaker and certainly doesn't make MY web experience any nicer. I have three phones in front of me now, and given the choice of browsing the web on one of them I would invariably go for the iPhone, just because the smoothness, multitouch and ease of use over-rides basic Flash support for me.

With respect to HTC bringing out better hardware....what does it DO with this hardware? Sure, they give you a 5megapixel camera, but you can't do much with your shots other than perhaps upload them to Facebook or Twitter. iPhone has THOUSANDS of photo manipulation apps and photo tools. Sure, it's not the best camera in the world by any means but no HTC camera is ever going to replace a dedicated snapper, so why not use it for fun and enjoyment. The iPhone provides this, and yet for some reason people seem to resent it and get angry at the phone or the person who likes it. Why use names like 'iFail' to describe it? Sure, a hardware keyboard might be vital to you, and you might prefer Windows Mobile as an OS but to describe the iPhone in terms of being a failure is blind ignorance and stupidity.....if it's such a failure why is every phone manufacturer trying to mimic the style and ease of experience of the iPhone? Why are other manufacturers starting to use capacitive screens? Why are touchscreens suddenly so in vogue? Why is every OS (Microsoft included) working on App Store alternatives?

The fact is, apple didn't invent the touchscreen, they re-invented it. You can get angry at them all you like but i prefer to accept it and enjoy the fact that it is bringing about a revolution in smartphones which EVERYONE can enjoy, and which will only get better.

Sent from my hardware keyboard-less iPhone....
[XPERIA X1 General] Mopral:
BUT Xperia will have the next flash player version from adobe (I may be wrong bot flashlite 3.1 is a little bit old) which should come at the end of the year
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I stopped reading at that point ^.

Apple fanboy + troll + doing it on a WinMo forum.....
[XPERIA X1 General] arikado:
Thank you Leoni. See you guys, you can't judge a device (the iphone in this case) just through your minimal knowledge (what-you-only-know) and/or reviews, borrowing off friends for a day/week. You'll have to have had experienced with both phones. Seeing as how Leoni HAS both phones for a length of time, hes able to make STRICT comparison rather than blind ones (the same way I'm discussing about my iPod Touch's features with xperia's).

You can enjoy the xperia and WinMo, it's not like i go around saying they suck, so why do most WinMo users say the iPhone sucks just because it's not their preference?

Both phones are good in their own way.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Did you read the whole thread? All of your questions have been answered. The same goes for that troll you are praising.....

[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I have no idea what your point is.

**** that! I've had and used an iPhone. I had the chance to keep it.

Instead, I sold it. Don't make stupid ass assumptions.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
What's with the apple trolls flooding xda lately??? :confused:

Listen trolls, ALL of your pathetic arguments (and I use the term loosely) have been debunked numerous times by me and by other people on dozens of threads.

Face the truth. iPhail is not even a smartphone. It is a mediocre feature phone at best. It is not the best and apple didn't invent anything. Learn to research and read more.

hi im a winmo fan and user but dont owe anything to microsoft, i dont work for them, not am i a stock holder. neither do i own a xperia nor an iphone but have to say that i find this thread interesting except for some hateful immoderate comments here. everyone has different priorities and needs and that is something imho to understand. ive been hunting for a new device and have decided not to go with iphone cause it dosent fit *my needs* right now. but i dont think im stupid or similar because i use winmo or because i use iphone. everyones needs and tastes are different and every os or device have ups and downs.

see, after some research i do realize that, having many shortcomings for *my needs*, the iphone *out of the box* has a very responsive, intuitive and mostly coherent graphical user interface through all menus and screens. sure we have many tricks and apps that makes our lives easier like spb mobile shell or tf3d. but none provides gestures or good interfaces farther than some features in main screens. deeper than that, we winmo users, are mainly again facing old interface and interacting with old fashioned squared controls and screens. responsiveness and performance of this interfaces in most devices especially old ones is not always what users expect, just surf this site to see opinions. sure we are waiting for winmo 7 and beta testing 6.5 but again other platforms have been using some of these features for years now... may i add android here.

i see xperia as one of the greatest winmo devices out there today, again based on *my needs*, but im still resilient to buy it cause the keyboard dosent have arrows!!! waiting to see if the rogers lots develop or not cracks because some polls indicate here in this forum that nearly 20% of the devices have develop cracks in the very first months of use!!! dont have complaints about the recessed screen (i have one and i am used to it) but wouldnt it be nice to have one like the iphone one? xperia x1a, the one sold by rogers, has limited video recording capabilities and uses another bigger-die-somewhat-differently-designed processor than x1 in europe!!! am not a video fan but hey! i would be paying top dollars for that device ok and is a functionality that should be there as well as an optimized video driver that could use all the advantages of the device to its full limits.

even though, i still prefer xperia to iphone by a long range, but i do understand this conclusion dosent apply to everyone and i respect that. diversity after all is something good and makes us learn and improve. pasion is good except when makes us blind so pls be humble and let people express their opinions and experiences in this forum without using hard words on them.

Thanks to all because there are people who cares about your opinions.

Ps: pls there might be inaccuracies in some details but i tried to make mi point as clear as possible.

omg......... iphone?????? dont you dare lol

as for apps and what it can do....... read the wiki, get used to ur device and what it can do using ur stock rom, dont change anything for 3 months... (if your a real noob)..... then if you want flash a cooked rom which will have more functionality, be quicker, more than likely more stable:D a lot of apps are free, esp on here :)

also goto sites like freewareppc etc as well as here (some duplicated of course)

Have fun :-)

Is it possible to hack the zoombar on our Rhodiums for being a scrollwheel like in the Video in this thread in the Blacksone section?

Would be great to use it for scrolling in the programs folder or something else! :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fluke73:
Love this idea!

I agree with you, and in time i think we can configure it to do whatever we want. Like maybe a gesture shortcut like sweeping right for one key and sweeping left for doing some other thing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] radi0chik:
So I had this problem with several sim managers, but I'm currently using the latest one from HTC. I have 150 some odd contacts on my sim card. I'm trying to copy over all contacts from sim to contact list in the phone. But when I view them in Sim Manager, it only shows part of my list of contacts. About 60 or so. I can refresh the list all day, reboot the phone...but I can never get it to view all the contacts. If I remove my sim, and insert it in any other phone (have tried with Nokia e61 and blackberry curve) I can view all the contacts just fine on the sim card. But I'm trying to copy all of them to my Tilt, and for some reason it won't let me see them.

Has anyone had this problem or know of any fix? Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stylez:
No idea what the problem is but try this SIM Manager still prefer it over the new versions give it a shot....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] radi0chik:
I'll give it a try...I BELIEVE I've tried that one already... its the manager where you just have options to copy to contacts, copy to sim, delete from either...you cant actually see the sim phone book in edit form right? I think it didn't work with that previously, but I'll try anything!

I haven't seen this anywhere else on this forum, but is anyone else frustrated by the notification bar (top of screen) on the TP2?

On my kaiser I was used to being able to tap on each icon to take me directly into the relevant screen (e.g. Mail, calendar appointment, battery status, volume control or connections screen).

On the TP2 every icon just takes you into 'Notifications' and then you have to click again to go into mail or appointments, but there is no way to the battery, volume control or connections.

Is there any way of restoring the previous functionality of this bar?

Also - (unconnected) anyone know how to change the text colour on the Today screen?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] spl23:
Get a registry editor, and find the key HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER\Flags. It should be 0 by default - change it to 4. This stops the HTC notification manager running and restores the default WM functionality.

*edit* After hours of trying to find out why my text alerts (custom only) wouldn't ring. I changed the value back to "0" and my text alerts worked again.

Any ideas what would have caused the custom text tones not to work with this registry change?

i am facing some strange battery notification problems in windows 6.5 ROM and some of windows 6.1 ROM..The problem is as under..

Problem :

When i upgraded to windows 6.5 tried almost all the ROMs the battery notification of drainage didnt change even after an hour of usage then when i soft reset the phone it suddenly gave a drop of 8-10% . And this thing keeps on happening with all 6.5 ROM so i am forced to use stock 6.1 :mad:

I tried changing battery poll intervals but to no effect even tried a solution to add some registry entries posted here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517300&page=194 << last post
