How is it Friday the 13th when it's Friday the 11th lol?

And you can use AdvancedConfig to set your GPRS settings as well....

Ur kidding me. HTC makes one of the best hardware designs ever, all the new phones now days look sexy and sweet, such as HTC Evo, HTC HD2, HTC Desire Z etc.....

And just so you know, the Xperia X1 is designed and made by HTC, go do some research.
[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
The X1 was manufactured by HTC, designed by Sony Ericsson.

I'd have to agree that HTC doesn't seem to really have a good understanding of design, they can give you some good specs and a decent plastic casing around a big screen. If that's design to you then to each his own...
[XPERIA X1 General] ahmadin:
most flexible ROM

I like this phone... because this phone has that other phone have.. and i can use the stock rom wm6.1, or custom rom 6.5.. or android.. ubuntu os.. windows 95 os... blacberry virtual os..... does other phone can do like these phon..??

x1 was the most.. powerful n flexible phone that ever had... :p
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
OOps my bad, ya HTC didn't design it, SE did.

But my point still stands, the fact that it's HTC that manufactured the phone and not SE makes them creditable at least. If SE makes such good designs, then why not make/manufacture them themselves? It's because HTC makes one of the best hardwares, that's why.

Anyone can come up with a good design on paper, anyone can draw and design cool looking phones, but it's the actual making of it that determines the final product, and it's HTC that made them. People said the X1 is nice coz of the metal/steel body and blah blah blah, will that's MADE by HTC, so there you go.

Also, don't all phones look pretty much the same? It's all the same thing covered by plastic. Not much difference in design wise to be honest. If you wanna talk about just plain simple design, you might as well look at the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad, they're all the same.

Granted, the only exception is the iPhone 4, it looks damn sweet. But anyway i'm not bashing Apple or their products, I love my iPod Touch but just saying, they're all the same design wise. It proves my point even further if you start to look at the tablets that all the top manufacturers are putting out, it's ridiculous.

The only new concept/design I've seen so far recently is the Kyocera Echo dual screen, that's at least something different.....not necessarily new since it's like a DS but still, it brings something new to the mobile device world.

But anyway, you have your opinion so I respect that. I just think HTC have really good phones like the new HTC Thunderbolt that came out recently, the designs aren't bad at all. And to be honest, XDA consisted of mainly HTC devices before they started adding in new ones last year.
[XPERIA X1 General] orkhanahmadov:
I love it's design, keyboard, panels, and 748mhz overclocked processor :p

Love it because it's Sony Ericsson :D
[XPERIA X1 General] orkhanahmadov:
agree with you! ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
wow, 748mhz?? What rom and radio are you using? I could only get it to OC to around 633.2mhz which is the average OC for most people as far as I know. I'm using the latest WinMoSpeed v1.05 and using 826X rom (January 26th 2011 build, the very latest as of now).

Actually, there're a lot of good HTC phones that can do this. One that I can easily think of is the HTC HD2. That phone can run WM 6.1, WM6.5, Android, Windows Phone 7 (and VERY VERY SMOOTHLY too, check Youtube), Meego, Ubuntu and pretty much anything else. It's the most versatile phone on the market as of now because it can run everything, and run them smoothly. The builds for those roms are really stable as well and adding on top the HD2's 1Ghz CPU (not even OCed), it can run them well.

There's also the Nokia N900. It runs Maemo 5, Meego, Android, Ubuntu, FreeOS, Mac OSX 10.3, Easy Debian, Windows 95, and pretty much most of the other popular linux based OS there is (there're 3 more that I can't remember). But it's no surprise, N900 is build on a linux OS (Maemo 5) so it should run these well no problem.

And it can run OpenOffice and GIMP on it (by emulating using Easy Debian), and all the other linux/Easy Debian apps/packages that you can download. I don't think i've seen any other mobile devices do this.

But ya the HTC HD2 is still the most versatile device, running Windows Phone 7 so smooth and easily, it ran even better than other native Windows Phone 7 devices that are built specifically for it.

Anyway, the X1 sucks on Android, battery drains too quickly and roms aren't stable for it yet. Most of the other WM6.5 roms for it suck too other than 826X and TouchX roms. 826X roms are super stable, good on battery and VERY FAST in my opinion. Energy rom sucks for X1 since it's so buggy and slow, and drains battery. Nobody's gonna use Windows 95, even if you do i'm pretty sure it lags on the X1. And same goes for the other OS that you've mentioned. It's cool that the X1 can run all these but it has to be smooth and stable to even be counted for.
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeche:
It's really a good thing that you mentioned some roms that are bad and okay on X1 since browsing thru a lot of selections is a hit and miss. I guess one solid reason for me to stay on stock rom (haven't hardspl yet). And as this device grows old in general I read somewhere that somebody ended up using the stock rom again.

Still, gingerbread really sounds tempting.

@chaoscreater

And oh, biernes_atrece is Friday the 13th in Spanish, and Colonial Spanish-Filipino. No biggie.
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
Were you referring to my post?

I strongly suggest you to try out 826X rom, it's really stable and fast. I don't see why anyone will wanna stay on stock rom, it's slow and to be honest, less table and definitely uses up battery faster.

I haven't charged my phone for 5 days and have been using it constantly and have only drained like 20%. It's overclocked to 633.2Mhz and has tweaks installed to make it run as fast as possible and still, the battery drain is really little. I'm loving it.
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeche:
Yep I was. I just used stock so I can't really compare. BUT, I kinda like the spb mobile shell 3.5 which makes everything on the home screen:

SMS icon, Email icon, Flight-WiFi-Bluetooth-Data icon, Battery Life, Speed Dials.

After I installed that I seldom hit the X-panel button. I'll would try 826x when I get the time. But I need to learn how to revert back to the stock rom first, to reurn it back if I didn't like the customs. Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
Well, you can install SPB Mobile Shell on a custom rom too......a custom rom is the same as a stock rom except it's "customized", henced custom rom. It's modified but runs faster and better (it's usually the case for most of the roms for most devices).

You don't need to use the X-Panel button and you can still customize it to change it to your liking anyway........I don't think you've used a custom rom before because i'm sure you'll like it a lot better than stock rom if you had.

Reverting to stock rom is simple as, just flash the stock rom and you're done. Whether you're using SEUS or not, you can revert back to stock easily.
[XPERIA X1 General] ahmadin:
Well Yes HTC HD2 can do all those stuff... but its to expensive and X1 still the cheaper phone that can do that.

in android now the batery is good.. i use android froyo 2.2 from this blog http://f1series.blogspot.com/ and i can use my X1 for 2 days...

i Agree that 826x rom is stable and fast.. because i use this rom that willyung has created it... http://www.826x.blogspot.com/
[XPERIA X1 General] hhenault:
I use my X1 since apr. 2008.

At the the time, it was expensive, 600 €, "skin of balls" !!!

If anybody can find for me a phone that can do the followings, I'll switch :

- CPU speed >= 650 Mhz (tweaked)

- Sliding keyboard

- connect to PC via Wifi, BlueTooth or USB, and control any files/registry

- using X1 as a modem for a PC, Wifi/USB

- 3G+ and other GSM networks, roaming around the world

- allow switching easily the look (Iphone-like, SBP, custom ToDAY ...)

- allow changing easily the meaning of Hardware Buttond (X, left, right)

- allow testing other OS's : Android, Ubuntu ...

- Screen >= 800x480

- All classical Office Applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe reader ...)

- Bunch of softwares that don't exist neither in Android, nor in Iphone:

-- WM Player + 'hard' mp4 accelerator = perfect

-- CorePlayer, which can read almost any kind of movies and streams,

gives me Movies and ADSL/TV on the phone from VLC/Wifi streaming

-- several GPS navigation Softwares : IGO8, TomTom (*) ...

-- (Nautical) Navigation GPS applications with my own (Nautical) maps

that i can build from raster Maps, or GoogleEarth (OZI, GPSU)

-- A native, "all naked", SDK-less JVM (Mysaifu), running as is my own

Java progs that I can develop on any Java platform.

-- A lot of System and Network utilities :

PocketLan which allows control over all the TCPIP stack,

Total Commander, Putty, Ftp Server, Nodata, SKTools

and even a 'TN3270' for connecting to my favorite main frame ...

I'm not in hurry, I'm waiting for something like a 'Galaxy TAB' with a native Linux inside ...

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

(*) TomTom : I was sailing a dozen of miles offshore, and run TomTom :

it just tried to find the nearest street and got crazy ...
[XPERIA X1 General] ahmadin:
Very impresing....
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
You're not really listing any features that the X1 has over any other device. All those apps you mentioned are Windows Mobile specific too (actually some of them ARE on Android and iOS) so it's not like they're "exclusive" to Windows Mobile or specifically to the Xperia X1 you know.......and just so you know, the same software name/brand does NOT have to also be on Android or iOS (or any other platform) for you to specify it as an exclusive to Windows Mobile or Xperia X1. There're apps specific to Android or iOS that does the EXACT same thing, and most of them better too. Windows Mobile is pretty much dead, hence Windows Phone 7 as the successor.........anyway all those apps you mentioned, I know how to get the same working on Android and iOS and yes I do own an iPod Touch and HTC Desire Z so I'm being un-biased here.

650Mhz isn't something to be proud of either, it's really slow in this day and age to be honest. Default speed is 528Mhz and from the best overclock i've seen so far which is 748Mhz, that's not a big overclock at all. I mean, it's great that we could overclock and i'm not complaining, but just saying that it's not a big deal. I know tons of other phones that can overclock higher. My old Nokia N900 can overclock from stock 600Mhz to 1.2Ghz, that's a 50% overclock.

As for allow "testing" other OS, I've already mentioned a few phones that can do that but again I have to stress, no point to "test" or "use" other OS when they're unstable. Android porting to the X1 has only gotten stable recently as far as I know, but using anything else is mostly pointless with little support.

Anyway, you'd think it's pretty logical that with Android and iOS improvements now days, as well as the phones now days that they'll be a lot better than something that's from 2008 right? Well it should because it's true. So it's not exactly hard to find a phone that can do all those you specified.....the point is, what price point are you looking for?

But boy 600€ is super expensive, that's the equivalent of around $1000 NZD, and I only got mine for $120 NZD lol........so ya I'm not complaining about mine and I shouldn't, I love the X1 for the price I paid for but if you really think about how much you paid for and all these are the things you use it for, then in my point of view I think it's a rip...
[XPERIA X1 General] s_zigmond:
Until the HTC 7 pro came out there was nothing to replace it IMHO. The lack of storage on the 7 PRO is still putting me off buying one!
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
why do u want the 7 PRO? I'm assuming coz u just want WP7? What about Android? There're some good Android devices that can replace it, I can recommend you some if you want.
[XPERIA X1 General] hbk_legendary:
yeah, dude

this is ANDROID Time.
[XPERIA X1 General] ilgreco112:
only xperia pro will make me change !!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] ahmadin:
agree. with u.... :)
[XPERIA X1 General] orkhanahmadov:
to reach 748mhz, read this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739095

it overclocks to 748mhz without any glitches, problems.

I'm big fan of 826x ROMs. They're very fast, stable and very good for long time use. but few days ago i flashed Dynamics GTX 2.0.1 ROM by ultrashot. it's better than 826x.

version 2.0.1 with manila 2.1, best manila version for X1.

version 2.0.5 with sense 2.5 fast, stable as 826x sense.
[XPERIA X1 General] vietdoan20062006:
hi guys,

its time to say goodbye to X1

what phone do you think i should get: X10, Xplay, XPro or XNeo
[XPERIA X1 General] orkhanahmadov:
X10 has old OS (Android 2.1) and not officially upgradable to new ones (2.2 or 2.3). So I don't recommend to buy it, if you fan of Android.

If you are a gamer and want to use your device for good games - buy XPlay. It's Android 2.3 and PSP.

If you love to use hardware QWERTY keyboard - buy XPro.

If you want a device without hardware keyboard, just like Desire HD or Nexus S - buy XNeo.

P.S. XPlay, XPro and XNeo - Android 2.3 Gingerbread and will be upgradeable to future versions of Android. X10 with Android 2.1 Eclair (and not officially upgradeable)
[XPERIA X1 General] superweijie:
Got a iPhone4, been like 2 months. It was a totally awesome experience. :P The screen is awesome + other already awesome things about iOS in general = mega-awesome.

Guess I gonna get flamed. :P

Nah, just had something corrupt my music and video library, had to do the painstaking job of restoring, re-JB-ing, reconfiguring all the settings of the JB apps. =.= It was tough on WM6, but iTunes and such made it hell. Had to boot up my X1 as a temporary phone in the meantime. Will most likely be updating the ROM and then try out the newer Android builds.

Additional notes:

For normal stuff (not special words, phrases or passwords etcc), the soft-keyboard triumphs over hard-KBs of all phones I've ever used. It is effortless and I don't have to press down; I just need to tap. I can go at at least 50% faster, 90% of the time... So, why not? And it doesn't cause any fatigue at all.

The abundance of apps on iOS really helps a lot. Someone mentioned about using the web browser as the main source for information/news, same here man! I can see the point of people developing for certain platforms or needing certain applications to manage/access work-related stuff though.

Games, PSP-quality games are awesome. Though I don't really spend much time playing, knowing that my device is capable of such feats is *awesome*. Apps like tuners and keyboards. There are one or two available on WM, I know... But they are awful and unusable.

Sony Ericsson, I despise them for their "support" for their devices, really. Though I am curious about the Xplay and how it will turn out. I say a 25% chance that I'll be impressed though.

P.S. Stupid iPhone is still restoring, I'll go and do some downloading and flashing meanwhile just for fun.
[XPERIA X1 General] nubitol:
because it helps my works...

- screen is great for playing movie.. (i don't like playing game)

- price reasons :D

- Connection, wifi, 3g and BB Connect (i really need it for push mail, since android can't do it).
[XPERIA X1 General] misiekthcteam:
Great navigation (Automapa 6.7).
[XPERIA X1 General] Gab1288:
its working really good, and hopefully android will be working one day.. so that this phone will be the best looking android phone on earth and it has a physical keyboard
[XPERIA X1 General] acdata:
I want to buy new phone instead of my old x1 it is so slow for today standard but my xbox became RROD ed so i should buy new xbox360 first :( :(
[XPERIA X1 General] bob 4ever:
I have no money to buy better one... . :(
[XPERIA X1 General] ramhead:
Its good looking. Keyboard. And resistive touch screen.

Xperia x10 is hard to use at finnish winters(im from lappland.. there are cold.) And rains do x10 weird.. menus go there and there and not responsive to touch. But days saver is this mine second phone x1. Really love to use it.
[XPERIA X1 General] hackersdoom13:
most of my phones literally say "wow thats such a sexy phone!!". the keyboard is the most attractive looking keyboard out of any QWERTY smartphone keyboard i saw. there's a variety of roms u can pick from blah blah blah blah blah
[XPERIA X1 General] Vilvor:
I'm using the X1 because I got it from my dad like.. 3 months ago!
[XPERIA X1 General] dkn00b:
I got my X1 from someone too. Apparently the screen was glitchy so i did a little surgery on it and fixed the loose cable connection :D

Now i am running a smooth version of Win 6.5 and nearly working 2.2.2 Froyo :D

Till my X1 lives, I can't think about any other device :P
[XPERIA X1 General] Tych0n:
Mainly because of the keyboard. To be honest, when I bought my X1 it was a slight disappointment, but you can't return a used phone to the shop "because I didn't like it". :rolleyes: I'm planning of getting a new phone (with a similar keyboard to X1's) next year, but for now, the phone does what I need it to well enough and I really can't afford a new one for now.
[XPERIA X1 General] Lordje:
I's still using my X1 as some kind of backup...If the other phone brakes down I still have another good phone.

besides that I use it because:

* it's a toy (you can play the games while no simcard is inside)

* I can spend time flashing it with other roms

* of the size of the screen

* I've always had a (Sony)Ericsson

* I like the qwerty-keyboard

* I can adjust the settings and more without being affraid of bricking it (if it brakes down I still have my X10 mini Pro)
[XPERIA X1 General] down4wotever:
Sony Experia X1....

Pure eye candy, hence had many call it the SEX phone...The panels are an exciting and beautiful way to navigate. Went to the same place twice on holiday and the local bar man couldn't bear to see the X10, he wished for the lady X1.

Looks apart, it was quite well built aside from the cheap plastic (HTC sabotage)

Anyone seen the VW Golf add where salesmen try to replicate the sound of a door of the Golf shutting?...Nice solid sound when sliding keyboard in and out.

Multiple phone control via touch screen, and numerous hardware keys. If you have encountered the Sony Digital Camera DSC - T models, then you'll know that the screen size for X1 and T models is similar, a joy when you have to transfer holiday pictures over to the mobile.

Developers took a shine to this baby too, still running Jerp's latest built before he defected to X10. I personally would pay a premium for a developer to adapt the X2 live tiles panel for android. I absolutely love the waves, the scrolling rss feeds, weather, music all in a cool black and white (well sort of) nothing in my opinion is a better home screen.

The ability to tweak, to date, I still use the X1 as my GPS (tomtom) over Google maps for android.

I also use it at home a lot, love the CNN panel and use it as a remote control for my digital music collection on the PC (Good old Salling Clicker (was better on P990 tough resolution-wise)

Oh almost forgot the fish panel, genius! simple colourful and informative. Beat that. X1 is like a classic car that keeps surprising you even when newer models are all too abundant.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ryuquen:
I'm using my first (new) and third X1 (2nd hand)... my second one (also a 2nd hand), which has a damaged USB port, is now used by my family members as an WiFi radio. The reason of having so many sets is my insistence of seperating PDA and Phone (former Palm user...).

Hard keys + Optical Joystick make inputing chinese (my native language) with touch screen IME a pleasure. My Touch Diamond is more difficult to move the cursor around.

Keyboard isn't that good as imagined, but typed over 60,000 chinese words (means over 100,000 key punches), I think I can't ask for more...(Frankly, after this torture, the keyboard of my 1st X1 is sticky and not so responsive, but still usable)

It brings me the feel of my late Treo 680 back to my fingertip. (OK, 680 isn't the BEST, but I think it's still a good one)
[XPERIA X1 General] gsgflash:
A few reasons, first is that I'm too cheap to buy a new phone right now, waiting for the ability to upgrade this fall (or I might just bite on an Evo 3D before that). Also, I hate software keyboards, the X1's landscape hardware keyboard is still one of the best ever of any phone. Despite it's short comings, the X1 is still a really high quality phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] jpijper:
The ashtray is not full yet ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] kiwikonnections:
I'm on my second X1. Both were bought used (the second one half the price of the first. That was luck, nothing to do with time.) The first one died a stupid death (don't use belt clips that don't lock).

I'm still using it because:

1) I bought a second one when I should've gone Android instead

2) Because it keeps surprising me. I've flashed several different ROMs ever since I got it. I settled on the Christian series for a while, then started trying out Android. It was rocky at first, and I went back to WinMo, trying out the 826x series. It booted fast and looked great, and I liked my X1 again. Then I found an Android build that it so far working alright for me, so the X1, for now, still works for me!
[XPERIA X1 General] leba837:
Although at the end of this message you will see that I'm writing this on my Sony Ericsson xperia arc, I still regularly Put my sim card back into my X1. Its does everything I want and more. I'm always on flea bay looking to pick up another one. I also have a K850i that I keep in my bag with a PAYG sim so I can take advantage of the camera.

Xperia X1, Xperia Arc, K850i perfect for all occasions.
[XPERIA X1 General] xPeria-kliko:
Totally agree with you!

But windows mobile sucks on this phone. When I listened to my mp3 player it's had a buffer overflow once in a while. Very anoying! And when i closed WMP it always froze a couple of seconds... then is asked if i wanted to shut down my phone. :confused::confused::confused:NOOOOOOOOOO! I don't want to! ARGH! :mad:

So now I'm running Android CyanogenMod 7 on my phone @ 625 MHz. Works better than winmo 6.1.

It's not perfect, but it's getting better and better! :cool:

Hmm, I am really not sure why I am still using X1 as primary phone. I have Samsung Focus, but win phone 7 is not so customizable, X1 speed do not bother me much, htc sense works just fine and it is kinda fun to run android on it :)

I got rid of my X1 some months ago, traded it in for a blade as I was so sick of sods wtih custom roms.

so true lol
[XPERIA X1 General] whoseline:
I'm still using my X1 as my primary phone. Why?

still looks pretty nice and modern

Great keyboard

Looks awesome when install brand new OEM housing

Having said that, I want to move on and buy a new smart phone with a keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 General] ArBoyz:
few reason why I keep my xperia X1

1. excellent build (there are only some phones that has metal body, x1 is one of them)

2. complete feature (HSDPA, wifi, winmo, android, gps, so what lack for ?? )

3. complete navigation solution (trackpad, keypad, touchscreen, qweerty keyboard)

4. great display (480x800 pxel, best sony ericsson pixelation right now)

5. costumizing roms

6. good camera (autofocus, VGA video recording, flash even can be used as flashlight)

7. unique xperia panel ( just 3 se phone had this, x1, x2 and aspen)

8. premium looking (it doesn't look "cheap" phone)

overall, I fall in love with this phone at first sight

I compared almost all phones and none of them has exactly same features than x1 does
[XPERIA X1 General] DjDexter5GHz:
Since i got it for bargain and i dont have cash to buy something else ,i have to continue using it. Still it has many possibilities :D
