yeh, pretty much what i was thinking. the review i read is here if anyone is interested. i was considering it as an alternative to the X2 but i dont really like the look of it, and not too keen on the proprietary headphone jack amongst other things. sony seem to be the only ones who add LED notifications. a must for me as i have to have my phone on silent most of the time. such a simple yet essential feature in my book!

http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/lg-expo-unboxing-and-hands-on/

i think he sums it up quite well halfway through..

"You might think that slipping a mighty 1GHz Snapdragon processor this package works wonders, but after using the eXpo for a while, we're not so sure. It's not that the Snapdragon isn't a brilliantly capable core, it's that it's simply not playing in the same league as a bone-stock WinMo 6.5 build like the eXpo uses -- it's like trying to race a Ferrari in a parking garage (don't anyone dare make a The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift reference here).

In terms of everyday usability, we'd venture that an old-school 528MHz MSM7201A (like that found in the Tilt2) would work just as well -- and you'd get more battery life out of it to boot. Cores like OMAP3 and Snapdragon excel at powering flashy, modern, animation-intensive user interfaces, and considering that 6.5 is basically a tweaked version of a UI we saw early this decade, it doesn't need (nor can it really take advantage of) this kind of processing power effectively.

Gaming capability alone might justify it, but goodness knows WinMo isn't anyone's mobile gaming platform of choice these days. Perhaps the one place where you'd think the Snapdragon would pay dividends -- browsing -- didn't seem to have much of an effect; we didn't have an MSM7200-based phone side by side to benchmark it, but the eXpo doesn't scroll or zoom in IE Mobile with the creamy smoothness you might expect (it's not bad, it's just not anything special). We can't believe we're saying it, but yeah: this might be the first, last, and only time we wish a Snapdragon phone had an MSM7200 series chipset instead. Revel in it, because you won't see us making that statement very often.

"
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Exactly what I was thinking about.
[XPERIA X1 General] Intratech:
I'll pass on the Xperia X2 when you can get the Google Nexus One with superior hardware for much cheaper.
[XPERIA X1 General] vanilla.coffee:
Vodafone are getting the HD2 soon I think. May have to consider that one...

Either that or wait for the X10 :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] bob2k4:
Vodafone have had and stopped stocking the HD2 and currently have no plans to restock it. I'm guessing their gearing up for the iPhone and putting most of their resources behind that.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
yet there is still so much demand for the HD2 >.<

HTC must be so annoyed seeing as vodafone had exclusivity for contract deals
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
the google nexus one doesnt have a hardware keyboard... so not really a direct competitor to the X2. plus it looks hideous lol. id consider the LG expo or the nokia n900 as alternatives. never been keen on nokias interface though. and the review of the LG put me off.
[XPERIA X1 General] Intratech:
Can't get the eXpo over here in the UK and the last Nokia I owned was a 3310 back in 1999/2000 I think. The hardware keyboard I can do without when the price for a sim free Nexus One is £340 I think.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
the hardware keyboard is one of the main selling points of the X1, dont think i could go back to using a phone without one. could never stand using the number keypad to type. hopefully sony has got their act together and made a keyboard that lasts. although technically i suppose it was HTC who cocked up the X1 keyboard. (and the rest of it to be honest) ive had sony phones for nearly 10 years and their build quality up until now has been excellant, im glad sony ditched HTC. should of known what to expect as my brother had an HTC phone and that fell apart too lol

theres a few LG expo's on ebay... one of the joys of the interweb! :D and the exchange rate isnt too bad at the moment either..
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
There are pretty good WimMo chefs on lg-incite.com. I'm sure there will be even more and better cooking for the Expo.

I'd read reviews other than Engadget. They are generally anti-WinMo (not user-friendly enough - okay, they have a point) and pro-iPhone.

Phonearena has a pretty good review.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Here's another QWERTY WinMo slider. $310

http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=179270

I know Acers are pretty crappy phones, but the price is pretty amazing for a WinMo 6.1 slider with 3.8" 800x480 screen and 5MP camera.
[XPERIA X1 General] royalbloodvi:
Just ordered it from mobicity.com.au and it will arrive in a few days.

Service is realy good and I bought for 899 AUD. They even rang my mobile number to confirm delivery! Nice xD

Just a question, is it possibl to use HTC comm manager on X2? I heard that X2 was made by another company so maybe its not possible anymore?
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
As it can be seen from all reviews, X2 has a better CommManager than X1...!

X2 in Poland SE store available from 18th Jan.
[XPERIA X1 General] royalbloodvi:
Nope, X2 CommManager does not have 3G option.
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
I agree well written software can do wonders. I'm impressed with Resco Photo Manager, for instance, but as much as I stick with WM, its code is kind of slow, I guess, so there is so much one can do in certain areas. So it would have been nice to have had a better processor.

On the other hand, there is no really exciting new WM phone these days (the HD2 perhaps, but no HW Keyboard and HTC's horrible camera). So I hope SE has optimized the software well enough as X2 seems to be the best balance these days: camera, HW Keyboard, HW keys, screen, size...

Let's hope.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
does the x1 have the 3g option? :(

i think i'll wait til the price drop in about 3 months, i just ordered a full silver housing for my x1
[XPERIA X1 General] royalbloodvi:
X1 does have 3G. You can get the HTC Comm manager.. which has 3G option.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Sorry but WTF are you talking about??

CommManager on X1 does not have any 3G option.

You can set it in Settings > Connections anyway.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
i think people are getting a bit confused.lol. the X1 does work on 3G of course but in the comm manager theres no specific setting labelled 3G. the bottom option is "data connection" i just click on that when i want to disconnect/connect to 3G.

on a different note, it now appears that the X2 isnt being launched in the UK at all!!

dont know how accurate this is...

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1567652/xperia-x2-launching-uk

seen this on ebay.. X2 for £330! too good to be true?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson...MobilePhones_MobilePhones?hash=item563898352b

** i emailed the ebay dude asking why so cheap and does he have any pictures of the phone. no reply yet hes increased the price. only has stock photos on the listing. looks like a con artist to me! avoid...
[XPERIA X1 General] Jagaer:
In my Comm Manager

...

Ringer - Change to Vibrate mode. Off/On

3G - Change to Auto mode. Off/On

Data Connection - Set up data connection. Off/On

...

X1A with WildChild WM 6.1 Rom
[XPERIA X1 General] Fire_Dragon:
I was also wondering about the same for X1. I am also P1i user and I can say very proud, happy and satisfied owner of that handset.

I can manage some small lags once in a while. However difference between P1i and X1/X2 is obviously OS. Windows Mobile is well known for its (slow) speed while (that) Symbian is pretty stable, smooth and of course fast so that could be one reason. Another reason is putting together OS and hardware for maximum performance. If Sony did it right this time I am sure X2 will deliver better speed. I hope it is the case because I am looking very much forward having X2 for whatever cost it might take.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
lol its only obvious the x1 is a 3g device, but royalbloodvi is saying that the x2 comm manager does not have the 3g option as if the x1 does

in order to get the 3g option in a comm manager, the only way is to install one from htc's tf3d (manila) roms

the x1 does not offer this option in the CM but just as doministry stated

Fire_Dragon i dont know about you, but my x1 is much faster, smoother and more stable than my P1i, try a wm6.5 rom and you will experience the x1 at a newer level... never once i had to hardreset my x1 on the stock rom, neither do i on my own rom, unless im testing new apps and want a clean system...apart from hardware complications, i think the x1 is a huge improvement over the P1, the P1 just have the advantage of a stronger built in body, after two years my P1i still is without scratch minus the screen, and it dropped more than my x1 too...the x2 looks promising, but i will wait to see if anyone complains about paint issues and cracks in the next 2-3 months before i buy :)

and the P1i wifi dropped more than a drunken old man with epilepsy, the only time my x1 dropped is on standby :p
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
You have a custom so no X1 original CommManager.

End of story.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
@spikegotti

Exactly. As I used every SE smartphone exept P900,

as I loved my P1, X1 is a huge speed improvement over it.

Especially in messaging and file management.

Plus the bigger RAM and processor etc. gives much bigger txt copy/paste for instance.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Talk about a messed up launch... gosh its worse than the x1 launch
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
So strange because it looks normal here...
[XPERIA X1 General] Fire_Dragon:
Haha. I agree with you about the built quality of P1i. I don't have X1 although I wanted it very bad when it came out but... (long story), so I am after X2 now (hopefully without any story), have been waiting for it from its rumors. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
X2 page on vodafone is no more...

>.<
[XPERIA X1 General] radzix27:
Now we're waiting for 'original' ROM from X2 for our X1 :)
[XPERIA X1 General] ShiroRm:
there's an advance configurator's option that allows you to put the 3G button in comm manager
[XPERIA X1 General] rene.knight:
conserning teh X2 speed

late 09 i had the privelage to try an early model of teh x2 and it basically ran as quickly as an X1 with a tweaked 6.5winmo rom. teh thing i was most exited to see was that the phone was 100%smooth when browsing your pictures wich was a real splinter up my ass with the x1 and many other touch phones. I agree with many of those who say that teh snapdragon core is more of a gimic then it is usefull. many x1 users im sure can agree with that a tweaked 6.5rom was a complete overhaul on theyr phones. even if u had a 1ghz core in the poorly programed firmware wich was in the x1 im sure you would still suffer great lag. think of a car, you can put a bigger engine in, but if you dont tweak teh suspension and tires it still wont go any faster arround a corner.

but my big question tho is, will xda be posting software and rom upgrades for teh X2 even tho its not developed by htc? i hope so :D
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Ok but it's also not default Xperia program.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Not true. I overclocked my X1 to 728 MHz using nueOverclock and it was plenty smoother. But smoothness of the UI is not the main concern of everyone. Some of us use applications that are processor intensive and that have little to do with firmware.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
all software on your phone has to go through the operating system and firmware... like on a pc.. if youve got a **** operating system then the application youre using is going to suffer.. unless youre doing HD Video encoding anything you use shouldnt be a problem at all with a decent os and firmware to support it. audio playback doesnt need massive horsepower... internet browsing, viewing emails or sms, word processing, viewing or editing pictures, satnav. they all should work fine on low power cpus. as mentioned before, people used these applications and others on phones with much slower cpus without any fuss. but they didnt have winmo on them.. what programs are you using which are so cpu entensive on a phone?

the main problem i have is when two or more applications try to run at the same time, i can use one perfectly fine but if i then recieve a text message or a call the X1 goes haywire. i hope they have better multitasking on the X2.

does the overclock drastically reduce battery power? might give it a go myself and see what effect it has. is 728mhz the only option or can a more modest speed increase be used? i overclock pcs and i know that with any increase theres also extra heat and a lower lifespan because of the extra stress
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Unfortunately nueOverclock is extremely unstable. Generally, the longest I could get it to work for would be an hour, then it would freeze, then it would be difficult to get working again. So it's not for routine use.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
id imagine there would be quite a bit of heat build up. with a pc you can install a bigger fan to compensate but obviously thats not possible on a phone. if the overclock was milder, say 600mhz then i would of thought it would be ok. thats still over 10% increase. the x1 also has a seperate gpu at 220mhz or thereabouts. if that could be increased by 10% too...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
not sure whats happening with the uk release of the x2, play.com email me 2 days ago saying its ready for pre-order and that they will have supply at the end of january but heard today on another site that sony will not be releasing it in the uk. i reckon it is being released but only sim free.

link to play.com x2 listing:

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...el-Mobile-Phone/Product.html?searchtype=genre
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
possibly they might still get them, even if sony arent officially releasing them if a big company wants to buy a batch im sure sony will supply them. plus Play.com are based in jersey and maybe they will get it from European sources.

[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
First the HD2 now the X2 >.< - I hate Vodafone.

If sony is to blame for pulling the x2 from the UK then... wtf sony...

Why even bother making it if your not going to sell it...
[XPERIA X1 General] vanilla.coffee:
Looks like Vodafone are going in a big way with the iphone. Apparently there getting 3000 pre orders a day prior to its 14th Jan launch. Thats where Vodafone are hedging there bets I reckon. Experia X2 'aint gonna do it for them like the iphone will.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
yea - in business it isnt what nessecarily what is the best device - its what people want.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
wouldnt put it past vodafone to do it to screw over the X2 so theres a bit less competition for the iphone... they where the exclusive supplier of the X2 for the uk. now theyve decided not to stock it just before its launch so its basically shafted the X2 in the uk. never seen the fuss about the iphone anyway. theyre like those tattoos on girls backs...they used to be cool and unique now everyone has got them and theyre common as muck lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leeneo:
as title

thanks !!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] crajoh:
I have spent hours searching to see if someone else has had this problem and haven't been able to find anything.

My lower D-pad and its buttons/touch panel have stopped working properly. The touch part of it doesn't work at all and the buttons have reduced functionality. Only the up/down and the home buttons work. From what I can tell this was after flashing Tael's latest Sense2.5 ROM.

I have reset the phone back to standard, using an original HTC Rom, going back to standard SPL, and standard radio. This has not fixed the problem.

The only thing I can find that seems to be related, is when I go into the bootloader there is a line that says "PSOD-wrong platform". I'm guessing that a code somewhere has changed somehow telling the phone that it doesn't have a touchpad, possibly because the phone the ROM was ported from didn't have the touchpad. It might be a longshot but that is my best guess.

I have no idea how else to troubleshoot this and any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yup it was up for like 10 minutes or so and now it's down :( I still got the Terms of Sale page displayed on my browser tho. :)

The same one leaked to engadget last week except for the fix of that number typo

"You agree to pay Google an equipment subsidy recovery fee (the "Equipment Recovery Fee") equal to the difference between the full price of the Nexus handheld device without service plan and the price you paid for the Nexus handheld device if you cancel your wireless plan prior to 120 days of continuous wireless service. For example, if the full price of the Nexus handheld device without service plan was $529 USD and the price you paid for the Nexus handheld device was $179 USD with a service plan, the Equipment Recovery Fee you pay will be $350 USD in the event you cancel within the first 120 days of carrier service. The Equipment Recovery Fee is equal to the line item in your confirmation email setting forth the discount on the full priced Nexus handheld device related to your carrier service plan activiation. You authorize Google to charge the Equipment Recovery Fee directly to your credit card, or other payment method used to purchase the Nexus handheld device, upon cancellation of your wireless plan. You will not be charged the Equipment Recovery Fee if you return your Nexus handheld device to Google within the 14 day Return Policy period as set forth below."

The Engadget version had a typo of $429 instead of $529

I always wondered what's the purpose of Audio Booster. From the description i read, it seems to boost audio only when recording. Not during normal phone calls or playing music etc. Am i right or I am misinformed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
It is an equalizer to be used when playing Audio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jmmmmm:
Is this for 6.1 or 6.5
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
Works fine on both
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jmmmmm:
It would not run on my Tmo Win 6.1. The executable did nothing when I tried to run it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
Install this cab first, then copy the files I posted to /Windows overwriting the existing files. Also import the reg file I posted. If the cab file does not install, then you need to manually delete all the Audio booster files (all 22 of them) in /windows first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] S.V.I:
CAB?

is there any chance you have winCE Cab Manager and you can edit the diamond cab? I dont have my laptop with me so I cant build a cab out of your post..

The main issue is that in case someone makes a mistake, they cant uninstall or revert what they have done without a hard reset. (makes testing impossible for me)

thanks for the work youve done on this... If you havent compiled a cab in a week Ill do it once I get home. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
Ok. I am running into some problems creating the cab with WinCeCab manager. I added the regular files to be installed into windows. How do I add the xml files? There are 2 option to add either a pre or post-provisional xml file, but when I try to add them I get an error message.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] solarleox:
How and where do I move this Reg file into the registry? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
Cab

Ok. I made a proper cab file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] S.V.I:
with WINCE cab manager you dont need xml files. you just add the files and shortcuts and then the reg entries. same as cooking an extended package. the trick to modifying a cab though, is that you add the new files overwriting the old.

Thanks for the cab I will try it right now. :)

EDIT: is there a way to add a shorcut for the context menu in the audio manager tab? or should I have installed it with manila disabled?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GermanGuy:
Not sure about this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] S.V.I:
there is an option for that on the Kaiser with manila 2D on my spare Kaiser. I wish I had my computer with me. maybe there will be an update to the new TmoUS rom that will make it happen... or get the reg settings for the context menu. pretty sure that it is already coded, but needs to be "opened"
