[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
I am glad to continue finding MORE FACE-LIFTED WM6.5 menus and dialogs

No no no no, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

Guys my HTC Pure (Diamond2) and HD2 are up FOR SALE, I don't want them anymore :D :D

CON:

The USB port is similar but DIFFERENT, which means my previous cables CAN'T BE USED with the X2 !!! (looks like a flatten out mini USB port = micro USB port, thanks for pointing out !!)

MORE INFO UPDATE

1- There's a lot of new software to describe and comment

2- Curiously enough: NO OPERA, but the newer Pocket Internet explorer is behaving fine

3- The new panels interface is more complex: the panels button won't take you to the 9 panels selector but to a scrollabel menu (sort of the "Media Xperience Panel" looked like), wher you can finger-scroll access MAIL, SE SYNC, PANELS, PLAY NOW, MEDIA [slide view] (notice this is not a panel itself, but integrated into the "panels" interface, which I like a LOT), CALENDAR, and CALL HISTORY (this one includes the new dialer/contacts/calls user interface)

I will have to post TONS of pics to fully describe it :D

4- Sony has made custom themed icons (electric green over black) for many Bronze (WM6.5 Start Menu) apps: help, SlideView, Camera, Media, Panels (yes: a link to access the panels interface) and "SE Sync", which is an online backup service (like "MS MyPhone")

5- GAMES: Preloaded are Bubble Breaker, Solitaire, "EXPERIMENT 13" (looking good... let´s test a bit more !!) and XTRAKT

6- Other on-board software: Google Maps, Boingo Mobile, a NATIVE YOU TUBE APP !!! Marketplace and MyPhone are there too, along with the traditional WM6.5 apps and shortcuts. Adobe Reader LE is there too.

7- Pressing "settings" shows the typical System, Personal and Commections folders plus a themed "Backlight and Power" shortcut. I NOTICED POWER IS READ IN 1% INCREMENTS HERE, SO A TASKBAR DRIVER WOULDN'T BE SO HARD TO ACCOMPLISH

8- Here in settings the NEW SONY COMM MANAGER, WOW, way a lot better that HTC's one, more complete, and of course theme matched to the tiles panel. YOU CAN EVEN SELECT DLNA, Direct Push or VIDEO OUT SOURCE FROM THIS NEW COMM MANAGER

9- There's a NEW TASK MANAGER TOO: theme matched and more ample (finger friendly). I love this one too. BEWARE is preset to minimize, not CLOSE apps when pressing the "x"

10- The reset button is hidden under the stylus (battery cover has to be removed)

NOT PRESENT:

- Miscrosoft .NET Compact frameworks 3.5 IS NOT PRE-INSTALLED

- Opera Browser is not present

- No "quick GPS" (it's HTC's)

SOME TESTED APPS:

- hTorch (requires NET CF 3.5) --> not working ??

- CapSure --> OK

- WMWiFiRouter --> OK

- HTC Pure's Music ID tweaked / ported app for SEX2 (uploading soon :D) --> OK

- HTC Blackstone's MP3 trimmer tweaked / ported app for SEX2 (uploading soon :D) --> OK

.
