Well actually I'm using it the whole time because it helps me with all the things I do, from work e.g. remote desktop w/c WP7 doesn't have yet, video call calling love one's from abroad WP7 doesn't have, music to help me relax,easy chat with the hardware keyboard, i could also watch movie with it after i downloaded it from the internet without converting it (.avi), using it as a modem (HSDPA) if i want to connect to the internet when i'm not at home ( connecting it to a laptop) and last is that i could connect to any WIFI hotspot. I'm just sad that i can't play flash games anymore now that skyfire stop the support. If anyone knows a new browser that support flash kindly share it thank you.. =)
[XPERIA X1 General] vietdoan20062006:
thinking that im still using x1 one more year then swap to WP7 because ATM WP7 is damn expensive and at introduction stage, with little game, application. by the way, x1 still does a really good job for day-to-day basic tasks
[XPERIA X1 General] altae:
I love this phone. The screen is still very good when compared to other models on the market, watching a movie in 800 X 480 on your mobile is an impressive experience. The hardware keyboard is very useful for communicating vià messenger or for writing long emails. I had to clean it once and know it's just as when the phone was new. I enjoy the freedom of Windows Mobile 6.1 compared to the other operating systems on the market, the ability to side load apps and tweak the phone in every way I'd like to. Those and some other reasons make me believe that the best I can do know is to stick with the Xperia X1 and to see how Android and Windows Phone 7 are developing. Man I really hope that someone will be able to crack open WP7 or Microsoft will come to the decision that it's necessary to loosen the restrictions on WP7.
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
easy: it has a hw-keyboard. i want that.

so far there hasn't been a device to which i would upgrade. there was the milestone, but turned out it's locked, and i don't want to be dependant from the manufacturer for updates.

i'm now waiting how the desire z turns out and what comes with wp7.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
The only reason I left the X1 was because of the camera and video camera. I have the cutest baby daughter :D so I always want to capture spontaneous pictures and video, often in low light conditions. I switched to the Nokia N8, which isn't as bad as you might think. Text input is atrocious, but everything else is pretty nice. I just predicted that no manufacturer will put a xenon flash 720p camera on a QWERTY slide-out keyboard phone, so I might as well swallow the bitter pill of converting to a capacitive keyboardless phone now.

Otherwise, the *only other* unfixable flaw with the X1 was the sluggishness (overclocking never worked). So, all-in-all, X1 is a great phone; I just wish Sony had taken the next step and made a hard-core upgrade that could compete against the Droid 2 Global and the HTC Desire Z.
[XPERIA X1 General] 'Tron:
^ yeah, in the weekend I was using the X1 one to listen to music, while taking pictures, & navigating using Google maps.. + email was active syncing. It was all a bit much for the X1 & was forced to soft reset.

I don't have experience with any other smart phones, but I'm hoping the new WP7 can handle doing all that and more.

I just need to be patient & wait for the prices to come down.. and for more live tile apps to be developed.
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
Greetings to fellow Wellingtonian!!!

I got my Xperia flashed, updated and optimized to the hilt with everything I can possibly need, had GPS setup, voice control, other bits and pieces, selected the voices I liked and became very happy with what I have. The keyboard is a frustrating quality control muck up, but I mostly use my Xperia for internet anyway, so not a huge deal. It's just one of the handsets I use on a regular basis, have no intentions of sticking with it forever, of course, but then the only one I intend to stick forever with is my HTC Universal, an old and reliable beast that may lack in specs, but more than makes up in design.

Speaking of WP7. I had a lovely WP7 UI ported to Xperia and was very pleased with result, just waiting for it to be properly tweaked and kitted out and for me to get sick and tired of Cookie's offerings. Otherwise is was running rather well, so will potentially be my next thing.
[XPERIA X1 General] Gadgety:
I just gave a new X1 to my wife. She likes its looks but complains its too slooooow. Any suggestions for speeding it up without using a custom ROM?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] superweijie:
Was hoping for more *exclusive* reasons. Many of the reasons gave can be satisfied by other phones.

Money is one of the the reasons that I can't really reply to, haha.
[XPERIA X1 General] henryfranz2005:
because people stare at it. haha looks alien to them. Nokia X6 and 5800 owners are jealous hahaha. Yeah they did say that. Xperia X1's screen looks gorgeeous plus when I said to them that its OS is Windows Mobile they like it. :))
[XPERIA X1 General] Egeria:
No money to buy a new device.

Plus: It fits all my needs. All I wanted was organizer and phone in one device and full compatiblity to my Windows computer.

Plus: No one has got it. In the two years I have been using it I've seen 3 others and about 100000 iPhones and 500 Android phones.

I think about getting a Windows Phone 7 device, but as I haven't got money it will probably stay a nice dram...
[XPERIA X1 General] superweijie:
Yup, the pixel density is simply gorgeous.

Not surprising that Nokia users are jealous as Nokia phone are quite low now.
[XPERIA X1 General] deadcaster:
complete feature of connectivity, qwerty, nice sound, windows mobile os, and I juz like sony ericsson itself...:)
[XPERIA X1 General] acdata:
use uZard Web it is even better than skyfire

http://www.uzard.com/en/down/download.asp
[XPERIA X1 General] 'Tron:
The iPhone experience centres on apps. I’ve tried out many different apps on my X1, but at the end of the day I’ve found the mobile web browser is the fastest, easiest way to get information.

The basic Internet Explorer on the X1 opens super quick where you can access the mobile sites for news, weather & Facebook – no need to switch between apps. Plus I reckon the browser is easier on data usage. No need for syncing.

Bloglines was my favourite site for news until they threatened to shut-up shop (at the eleventh hour (4th Nov) the site has been saved). I tried SPB News app for a bit. Although the app worked really well, I prefer a browser based feed reader (for reasons above, plus there’s less pressure to read everything).

After searching high and low, I found mobilerss.net, which was okay. I’m currently trialling Netvibes, which I think is even better than bloglines.

Microsoft is really onto something with their ‘in & out’ philosophy with the Windows Phone 7. It’s pretty much how I use my X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] spine6:
Thanks for this one mate i'll try it..
[XPERIA X1 General] upcoast:
im poor. lol

I have been using SE phones for years.

I like my X1

I love the qwerty keyboard.

Video calling.

remote desktop.

ROMs and Mods for days.......DAYSSSSSS. lol

would love to have it faster...but whatever.

screw the iphone..its for 14 year old girls lol IMHO

been thinkin of goin droid but.....i like the fact that i sync with my XP ..

yeah XP. lol I dont upgrade well.
[XPERIA X1 General] ryo9502:
i like my x1 coz :

1) i'm a feature freak...

it has almost everything, HSDPA, wifi, gps, dual camera, flash, qwerty, high ram (at the time), moderate cpu, etc.

if we downgrade the specs (not the feature) we have HTC TYTN II and i-mate 9502 (my first and recent pda)... they're not bad, but the ram is only 128mb...

the equal one's we can say that there is HTC Touchpro and Touch Pro2... touch pro is bulky. as for touch pro2, it actually looks very cool but the damn thing doesn't have flash...)

if we upgrade the specs we have X2, and omnia pro b7320 (great specs and complete feature but it's too expensive to me and it has no angle when sliding the qwerty keyboard, just dont like that. X2 looks better than x1 but it comes to late due to the new and most anticipated OS battle between Android and WP7. and i don't care much bout the camera ability

2) the long existing OS (WM 6.1) makes it has a lot off damn good apps (free and even cracked one) : such as garmin mobile xt, spb, games (cab or java), pocket islam, palringo, tcmp, seven, etc... no need no blackberry for push mail and messenger apps...

3) luckily it's made by HTC, so there's a lot off developers working on the ROM development : custom, upgrade, and even android, hmmm...

4) the screen resolution (480x800) suits most of the recent gadget nowadays, so there's a hope for playing those great android games.. i even can play RF2010 when booting on android, but still looking for more fast and stable rom's).

if i'm not mistaken, iphone 3g can't do video call and sending MMS, and iphone 4 can't do video call without a wifi connection, not to mention that its too damn expensive (i prefer galaxy S with android)

i use to think with a qwerty keyboard i could play game and do texting, but x1 keyboard is not good for both of it (the best is HTC TYTN II's qwerty keyboard, but it has poor performance due to the low ram).

now i'm waiting for psphone, with an adequate specs (1gb cpu, 512bm ram) and sliding gaming keyboards looks promising on gaming experience, for texting just use the wide screen... also with an adequate specs, means that there's a hope that some developers would cook wm6.1 or even wp7 for it ... and that would be just perfect to me
[XPERIA X1 General] dmsc:
Hi,

I stopped using my X1 since I have my htc hd2.
[XPERIA X1 General] idavid_:
well, i bought sony ericsson vivaz. it sucks and im going to sell it. so im using my father's x1 because he bought samsung galaxy s
[XPERIA X1 General] hungry81:
I have a Xperia and a HD2 i use the HD2 for my work phone and my Xperia for my personal phone. It looks good and does what I need.
[XPERIA X1 General] azian_advanced:
i bought my x1a back in nov 2008 when it was first available for preorder. but since june 2010, i've switched to the x10. the main reason i did was because my x1a battery died and didn't want to fork out another $100 for a genuine SE battery. i figured i'd give the x10 a try since it uses the same battery and that i could always switch back if i wanted to.

after days/weeks of tinkering with the x10, like i used to on the x1, i can now do almost everything the x1 did. however the things i do miss with the x1 are:

-keyboard

-sexy arcslider and metal housing (despite the 7 cracks it already has)

-optical pad (for easy scrolling while browsing or going through lists)

-starcraft/warcraft

-garmin gps (but CoPilot works almost as well on android)

i'd like to give wp7 a try if SE can release a good looking phone for it, but it looks like it's meant for non-geeks (like me) who prefer simplicity and rich GUI over customizability.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Used my Xperia till now. Just then bought a Motorola Milestone 2. Hopefully it will make me as happy as I were with my good old Xperia. My mum will continue using my Xperia so whenever I want to play with it again, I can... =)
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
i'm back to using my x1 since 3 days.

got an desire hd - it blows. :) actually i really need a hw-keyb, and as smooth and fast everything is: sense on android feels castrated compared to the winmo-version. so i sold it and enjoy my faithful x1, despite the lacks it has.

now i'm waiting how the desire z turns out (claims of the hinges not being really tight) and what's offered for win phone 7 in january...
[XPERIA X1 General] Viper89:
I've been using my X1i for 1 year 2 months now and it does everything I needed to do and more. Funny thing it actually works better now then when I bought it and Android 2.2 running in it is really cool. Even still to this date I get compliments on how cool the phone is. I hope my X1i continues to keep working until the Z1 comes out , I see some promise in the PlayStation phone :D.
[XPERIA X1 General] casualt:
@hungry81

hey man i am like u i have both and love both!

long live HD2!

f windows 7 i with the hd7 in store and its slugglish and the os kinda looks fake. I don't like its kinda pretty but I still like WINMO HTC SENCE, it's all I use on my HD2 energy rom. Android just isn't that great for me. I mean I had Iphone and HTC Desire, and the apps are nice but i never use them...
[XPERIA X1 General] Spidersilk:
I stopped using my X1i as soon as I got the Desire Z. It was definitely worth the upgrade. I'm loving my new phone and its Android Froyo OS. I hate thick phones so this is a step in the right direction. Also, I have not had any issues with the hinges being too tight or too loose.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] Thouy:
Just using it until I have the 2 years full for my Vodafone contract. Every 2 years I can chose a new phone for just a few Euros. So I already registered for the iPhone which is available now for Vodafone Germany.

A Cell Phone for me is just a phone, I have to be able to make calls, receive emails and calls, nothing else.

So no use to spend hundreds of Euros for a phone if I get it almost for free every 2 years.

October 2011 SonyEricsson era will be over.

Xperia X1 by the way is the worst phone of SE I ever had. Mainly back to my P1i, better battery, easier in use, hate Windows. Windows is crap whether on computers or cellphones. Nothing better than Apple!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] Viper89:
October 2011 Sony Erricsson era will be over lol what? Sony Ericsson is not going any where and wait and see what they are going to release at MWC in Feburary you will be eating your words ;). Sorry to hear the X1 is the worst SE phone you owned.
[XPERIA X1 General] Thouy:
okay, forgot the word "my" in front of Sony Ericsson era.

Definitely no SE anymore, had SE for more than 6 years now, looking forward to complete my Apple collection of PowerMac, airbook, iPod, iPad, several additional things. Just iPhone missing. Then everything is easy to use and perfectly combined, easy to sync etc.

SE X1, though it's the third one already, is full of bugs and simply Windows. Windows definitely is crap compared to Apple regarding stability. And it always was a device problem, so Vodafone had to replace it with a new one, 3 phones in a bit more than a year, horrible and absolutely not acceptable. If those problems had occured during my job - working for TV and movie and often shooting abroad -this would have been the worst case ever.

Have the iPhone with my husband already, so could compare now for a year. Never seen a better phone in use, style and stability
[XPERIA X1 General] Viper89:
O ok I see now. Wow 6 years is along time, the only other SE phone I've had was the W810i about 5 years ago which left a good impression on me and when I lost my Motorola Rokr E6 I seen the X1i I said why not give it a try :) . I totally agree 3 phones in a year is not acceptable if that was me I'm not sure if I would of kept the X1i after the 2nd return, I'm very lucky to have no problems and to not have to send my phone in "yet" . Ya if your a fan of Apple products then the Iphone would be the most logical choice for a phone especially if you want something to work good right out of the box and not really have to worry about to many things.
[XPERIA X1 General] 'Tron:
Fine…. be a sheep.

If you wait a few more months, you can get the new iPhone 5 – where the phone is actually embedded in your brain. The folks at Apple have design a new B.O.R.G microchip for rapid txt & email service.
[XPERIA X1 General] XtriFe:
How many phone models officially run Apple's OS ?

1, the iPhone

How many computer manufacturers sell their products using Apple's OS?

1, Apple Macs

How many phones run Windows Mobile ?

How many computer brands (even the ones people build at home) run Windows OS?

Yeah, big difference huh? If windows mobile had been designed for just one piece of hardware then you, as the developer, could guarantee that it will run fairly stable on that specific device, but the truth is that Windows is ran by a LOT of devices, not just one. And you say Windows is full of bugs, etc. and that everything made by apple (as most of the people that own loads of apple stuff love to say) "just work" but really, it cant be that hard to make your OWN OS work for the devices you specifically design for them. Apple worries about THEIR computers running THEIR OS, allowing you to buy from THEM only. Meanwhile, the rest of the world runs on whatever piece of hardware they want, they get to choose what they want and make it work the way they want it.

Windows-based stuff DOES work. It just depends on the user, really. Otherwise, how's the rest of the world running Windows ?

If you prefer shiny cute little devices that cost you more and give you less freedom of customizing, if you're one of the people that feel proud whenever they look at an "Apple" logo on their stuff, then yeah, go with apple :P
[XPERIA X1 General] Ment@ndo:
I use it because it has a Retina display :D
[XPERIA X1 General] yinjianweizxc:
Me too,no demand for a new one,I think the 528MHz is enough to use..:D
[XPERIA X1 General] joebongo:
I have a HTC Desire but all the nav apps for Android give real **** traffic info and either can't route you round problems, keep beeping to tell you the same problems every 10 mins, tells you problems that aren't on your route (or even near it) etc.

TomTom is the only one, and it doesn't run on WP7, and I hate iPhones which are too expensive and I have my Xperia.

So it's now got a PAYG sim card in it and is a dedicated TomTom machine for me.

It's like an old Merc - a classically good design which ages well.
[XPERIA X1 General] synpax:
Because it does things that no other phone can do. If you name one that can do these things, I'll switch:

1) Screen is readable in direct sunlight.

2) It automatically records all phone calls - both sides - and records them clearly.

3) Has GPS programs that store maps and don't require data.

4) I have used it in 10+ countries and swapped out a half-dozen different countries in the last month

5) Tethering. Both wired and as a wifi device.

6) My US carrier, ATT, has no idea what phone I am using.

7) High res screen.

8) Standard headphone jack.

9) Lot of great apps, like Google Maps, VLC player, and so many other apps.

10) QWERTY keyboard. Although mine no longer works and I use swipe, the other 9 items make it better than any other phone I Can find.

So what other phone can I find that can do all of this?
[XPERIA X1 General] ueharaf:
android is the keyword or tag!!!xD

1. custom rom

2. QWERTY keyboard

3. is lightweight if you compare to others handset with QWERTY keyboard

4. connections, bluetooth,wifi,gps,standard headphone jack,3g and wifi spot!:D

5. battery life, now im going to buy another battery so i can play more!:rolleyes:

6.solid, the phone fell a few time and is still working. also a pulished the battery cover!!

7.:eek::eek::eek: MOST IMPORTANT!! i really this month wanted to buy another phone, im been a xda develop viewer since 2009,but i was satisfied with my actual rom since july of 2010,so i didn't enter since july until this month. and i webed and ohhh my god!!! android in an windows mobile phone? i just got :eek::eek::eek::confused::confused::eek::eek:, and i see a lot of support for this phone in particulary, so i wanted an andoid phone...so im tryng it right now without buying a new one!!

now i have the gingerbread 2.3.1 alpha2 of neopeeks, is really smooth, and i like of the apps that you can download in the android market, facebook,tweetdeck,aimp2 remote control,msntalk,google maps,teamviewer,angry birds,etc. so this phone and all the developers are awesome!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] synpax:
Is there an app that lets you record both sides of a telephone conversation?
[XPERIA X1 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
lol, watching a movie on that tiny screen? quite an experience indeed. not an enjoyable one though.
[XPERIA X1 General] El.Guaje:
Well, i think, it's a great phone but someties it emade me angry.
[XPERIA X1 General] 'Tron:
Yeah, me too.

WP7 may not be as feature rich as WinMo 6.1 - but it's less frustrating to use.

I brought my mum a WP7 (Focus), but think I may keep it for myself & buy her another one.

Right now I'm still using my X1 for my alarm clock (G-Alarm), music player (Pocket Player), & navigation (TomTom).
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
X1 was one of the best smartphones ever.

And the sexiest too.
[XPERIA X1 General] legacygt777:
1) one of the best looking of all time, how many phones are stainless steel?

2) one of the most tweakable phones ever (just look at this site)

3) screen still is the most defined picture even compared to the latest phones

4) one of the most unique phones, how many own this?

5) the fact that people are still using this shows how strong this phone has lasted.
[XPERIA X1 General] Christopher888:
I love the hardware feel of the X1.

WM was the only flaw, wouldn't buy again. Hoping the android devs will keep up their work just a bit longer

It has a nice stylus

Its metal, very rare these days

KB has a solid feel.

Has a stylistic almost vintage feel in some ways with its burnished metal

Easy to flash with new roms

It was internet, wifi, bluetooth a full keyboard, a camera, 3G, usb, tethering and video calling. I mean what else do you need a phone to do?

Its solid feeling

Looks great

Does everything you need.

Better question would be, why are you NOT using the xperia anymore?
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeche:
Ok. My turn. XD

Most of it have been said but:

1. It is freakinly expensive when I bought it almost 1000$ (45,000Php)

2. It too cheap for a resale 70$ (nah I'd rather keep it)

3. I got a Silver one.

4. Yep. Everything I need can be done on the phone. (uh, is there a decent no gprs-data app to date? Coz' that's the only thing that I got annoyed with.)

5. Battery Life is Extremely good. (talk about my 3 year battery still makes it 2 days)

6. It's a very decent smart phone that runs well on 6.1 stock. (I haven't hardspl mine till now)

7. SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 makes it even better when you need everything in shortcuts.

I'm kinda tempted to try froyo or gingerbread on it but my wife uses it now. I'm on HD7. Fast but locked device sucks. Almost can't install anything in it.
[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
Well WM is hardly flavour of the month :) BUT

find yourself a good ROM from here, tweak it a bit with app developed here as well ;) and you have a really good phone.

My Xperia looks a bit battered after 2 years, it's not an easy design to protect (I should have put the Zagg protection everywhere, apart from the screen), that's the only thing I would complain about.

My keyboard started to do double letters, but installing X1BH & enabling the option, sorted that out :)

Also, I think the screen is not a good size/format. 2.8" WVGA doesn't leave many square inches of screen to look at.

Apart from that, it is still an extremely funcional, powerful phone
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeche:
REALLY? Worth trying back.
[XPERIA X1 General] mymailx:
I'm used to be a Sony Ericsson gleeks, IMO that SE products are always beautiful. I'm still saving my P Series in good condition but dumping my O2 XDAs somewhere. Since I'm lover of Windows Mobile interface so what I can buy? Only X1 or X2 but I found X2, after 3 months using, has the same dejavu software problems from P910 so the only choice is X1.

I don't like most HTC products form because IMO they are ugly (HTC Diamond is an exception). Samsung Omnia don't have QWERTY keypad like X1/ X2. So IC that I'm still using X1 because I have no choice. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] biernes_atrece:
have you tried NO DATA? does the job in 1 or 2 clicks.
[XPERIA X1 General] chaoscreater:
ehh I don't really like it that much but can't complain since I got this for $120 which is bloody cheap. I'm just saving up for a HTC Desire Z or Motrolla Milestone 2..........but other than that I like this phone a little better than my Nokia N900.
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeche:
Hey, I have seen NO Data a while back but as I remember I never made that work. I'll retry that again.

Friday the 13th huh?
