Maybe I Missed Something ? - Shift General

Purchased the Shift .. Upgraded to full Windows Mobile and later sold it. Bought the Fujitsu U810, sold my Sony UX380N and bought the UX390N and have since been twiddling my thumbs waiting for something new. Gotta admit, I really miss my Shift and if anyone is selling theirs I am interested .. but is there anything new on the horizon that I should wait for ?
Any progress getting voice on the shift ??
The thing that neither the U810 or the UX390N can replace is the Windows Mobile .. it was a big plus for me. Didn't open Vista very often during the average day, but the battery lasted FOREVER just using it for texting and playing some of those mindless games like Bejewelled and such .. Again .. send me a message if you have one for sale - or maybe I will just buy a new one if there isn't anything great on the way. I am considering also the Xperia by Sony and also the new Samsung phone .. I love gadgets !!

should I get rid of my x10i?

I've been a se fan for years right from the t68i, I've enjoyed se phones right up until the x1i, Satios, x10i. se always seem to leave things out which are common knowledge or rushed out phones even though they were announced yonks ago. tediously slow at getting firmware out. I thought I'd give se one last chance as the x10 looked like se were back on the ball.
first few weeks of having the x10 I was amazed by it, but now the broken software and multitouch in games and a few other nags has made me fed up with it.
the last draw was today announcement of mspot, the app that enables you to upload your music library to the cloud, but of course its for 2.1 and along with Twitter and the best games!
also a few weeks back in typical se fasion se announced there would be a new firmware in a few weeks that fixes battery life and other things, well where the tool is it?
no multitouch (to be fair to se I did expect a flagship phone to be multitouch)
huge battery drains
broken photo tagging
slow timescape
none of the good games or apps
late promised firmware.
I think this is the last se phone ill buy, been burned too many times now.
rant over....

Is easy.
If you don't like something, get rid of it.
Why so many questions?
Some buy smartphones for media capabilities.
Some buy them to play games.
some buy them to stay connected.
Some buy them because they look great.
Some...
Some...
If is not the phone for YOU, sell it.
It's funny that you used you X10 to write your post!! (just joking with you)
Come on... don't be too pessimistic and remember that every device has some bugs
To end your misery I'm willing to get rid of the X10 for you at no charge. My address is...
certainly you should get rid of it now
Haven't you got rid of your X10 yet hoss ????
The X10 is the best phone I have ever had... I've had a few !
I actually wish I had enough money to buy new phones each week as many on this forum seem to have. But seriously, changing to a new phone, exporting contacts, downloading apps, configuring etc.... I have better things to do with my life.

im with him 100% by the way u can look at the bad said all u want but if u look to what u can have from the market and how much apps u can find for what u need and this big 4" screen battary life doesnt matter as long as u have it working when u need it every thing about this phone for me is great im one of SONYs GREATS FANS and anything that has SONY under it for me is the best...that is how i feel sorry if i talk about my self:S but really look at the bright side u will be more than happy dont comper ur self to others every1 has his idea...
finaly love my phone
the thing is its got to the point that I don't trust se, it would be my nodding luck that I get rid of the x10 and then bam se brings multitouch to the x10!

....and my Nexus ONE owning friends want to get rid of theirs and switch to the X10
It would really be a sad World if we all liked the same thing.
add this every1 knws september is the day the x10 will shin the most....
and u wont knw mybe the update after that keeps coming just stik to it and use it for what u have time will pass u will be happy u didnt sell it se will come to a point and make x10 one great phone .... coming from the word of HOPE
the main problem with x10 is it easily scratches (not screen ,the surround like side mirrors) and that it is impossible to be rooted
This phone was just an investment to me,
I nearly had it for free and it boast a high trade-in value in Singapore.
If the ROM could enable the X10 ( 4 MFLOPS ) to be nearly as good as the nexus one( 37 MFLOPS ), then I may keep it afterall - that is with Android 2.2
And if the battery could be way better, I would remove SE from my blacklist

X1 not available anymore

Hello all, I just wanted to inform you all that Xperia X1 is not available from SE anymore, so if your device goes beyond repair within warranty time, you are likely to get your money back or get it changed to an another phone.
This is what happened to me, my Xperia's screen and screen ribbon cable broke somewhat simultaneously. I returned my Xperia to the seller store to be checked out, and they came back to me with a letter saying that Xperia is not available anymore, asking my bank account number to give my money back.
As of this moment I am waiting eagerly my money to get a Desire HD, so thank you Xperia community, you have been very helpful!
I'm gonna send my phone in because my keyboards doubles letters as we might all have experienced...
I wonder whether the Xperia Service Center is still working here in Germany. But I suppose so...They'd never give me money for the device now. Althought that would have been fantastic. Have fun...and (in my humble opinion) wait for WP 7!
Refirbished model is the most likely thing
I bought mine last year 619€ need to get the money back lol

I guess it's official now, The X1 is now Legendary lol . To bad I don't have a warranty even though mine is still in really good condition 11 months of using it, if anything happens to it though I'm F'ed. X1 will defiantly go down in history as one of the best HD phones for WM .
2 years today since i first bought an X1! and hours and hours on the phone to customer service and 10 X1's later i still have my X1! Even though its an amazing phone it has also been the most problematic i've ever had! But i'll be keeping it until it dies again who knows how long that will be!

Lol 10 X1's later , I love this phone but if that situation happen to me I would of looked for a different phone after the 3rd time I had to return it and thank god I haven't had some of the problems other X1 users have had . But I guess there is a reason why you kept on getting the X1 after the first return.

haha yeah well, it does everything i want it too! I was offered the G1 and such but it just didnt match the look of the x1 and the WM Operating system in the way i can install and get everything i need on it! I would have happily accepted an x2 if anyone had offered it but unfourtunatley vodafone UK decided WM phone were crap and decided to not stock them anymore.
It was funny actually, when i found out vodafone was no longer stocking the x1 the dude on the phone said for me to check GSMARENA.com to see what other good phones there are out there etc. At the time guess what the top phone on GSMARENA was? the X1!

Haha that is pretty funny, to this date at GSMARENA.com the X1 is ranked 6th and by Interest it's ranked 3rd and it's the only phone from 2008( Well there is the N82 from 2007 and the 5800 Xpress Music but we all know the X1 is way better than those phones lol) at the top of these lists now that's saying something. I also found this image from phonearena.com a couple of days ago.
To me it's logic that the X1 is not available anymore. It was launched in late 2008 and had been available for almost 2 years despite the fact that it's successor, the X2, was introduced. The home electronics store of my choice here in Switzerland sold the last X1 somewhere last month.

Not too OLD

As we all know , Xperia family have new members added and people all over are excited to update X10 ( .. Simply the BEST XPERIA) to the other new Xperia members..
I dont think Xperia X10 is even old .. its stupid alwayz fighing for 2.2 or 2.3 bla..bla roms... Our Xperia works much better with only lil mods even to its factory f/w.
We all take X10 as granted.. BUT TRUST ME ITS NOT...
So, support the voting for X10.. Mine goes the 1st!!
M huge fan of mine Xperia X10 Luster White.. I Just Love It!
Love ur Xperia's!!
-It doesn't even have 1 year since its release.
-It has better specs. than some new smartphones that cost more.
-We'll get a stable Froyo/Gingerbread ROM working at 100% soon, no matter if SE decides not updating it anymore.
-The bootloader is really hard to crack but that doesn't mean is impossible to do it.
-16 M colors would be the only missing feature to make this phone a complete masterpiece. We already got all the basics and we'll go for mere once we have full access to it.
Then, you know what I voted.
I'm going to be honest here, usually I buy a new phone every 6 months or sometimes less.
With the X10 . It is the first time I stick with a phone for almost a hear ( since April ) , using stock SE firmware with JIT and I'm enjoying it
I believe it still got life against new products with dualcore

change phone once a year xD last one was an x1 took me less than a year to get an x10
in june i will have a year with it so might change it to an arc or any htc
Lmfao.. jst changing the phone as It is 1 yr old is the stupidest excuse coz i dnt think $500+ phone does owe this excuse to get changed.. lol still need more votes..!
hmmm depends on the person
I throw my x1 (paid around 800 dlls for it) in less than 1 year
x10 will be "dumped" in few months (unless i move to another country cause it's sim unlocked) and it was around 650 dlls
pretty much depends on the person, if has money to "waste" and phone likes
for me it's great and it's the first time that i use one phone in 8 months and the new handsets i really didn't saw the differences ....all things needed is imported with x10 even the games working great

How emotionally 'attached' are you to your X10?

A bit of a weird topic, but I got thinking today...
The X10 is my first smartphone I've ever had, before that I had a tough as nails Samsung SGH-E180, which was one of those cheap 100 dollar phones. I fell in love with the X10 after seeing my friend use one, and without even looking at the competition bought one.
And I love it to this day. Thanks to the devs at XDA, my X10 is the fastest smartphone out of all my friends (who have Desire HDs, iPhones etc) and wherever I go I get a few looks at my phone from strangers, because of it's sexiness .
Once I met another X10 owner on the subway and when we saw that we both had X10s, we had like this manly nod of approval. It was awesome.
Anyway, how much value do you hold your X10? How emotionally attached are you to it? I don't think I'll ever get rid of this phone, when I get a new one I'll probably pass it down to my brother, but I don't think I'd have the guts to get rid of the phone that brought me to the wonderful world of smartphones.
Im the same as you... The X10 is the first smartphone ive had.... and YES... i still see Sony Ericsson phones as SEXY.... damn.... if I could only upgrade the internal hardware on my X10... Id never ever replace it..... Iphone maniacs drool when they see me play Fruit Ninja or Angry Birds While playing a song on my X10..... plus. my phone looks sexier... I love my phone now... I used to doubt it back then.... (1.6) but now... I think different.
I don't think I would be as attached as I am if it weren't for the 2.1 update fiasco with AT&T and the ride Sony Ericsson took us with on Android updates and multitouch. All of which got me addicted to xda, the xda app, Android, and most of all...my X10.
Phone sucks so I got a better one. Selling my X10 and never looking back.!

I love my x10. I got an xplay now and before I bought the xplay I was thinking of using the x10 as a battery charger and use the x10 battery as a backup battery for the xplay, but I just can't bare to see the x10 switched off.
I now keep the x10 next to my bed charged and use it every now and again with WiFi
I too am the same. It is my first smartphone and I love it. To be honest, with the custom Tom's, I far prefer the x10 to my dads DHD. For some reason the x10 is just comfortable and feels good in the hands. My Gf and brother have iPhones and they get jealous (and mildly irritated) whenever I show them new features that they do not and most likely never will have. (I particularly like emailing my brother links to flash websites haha)
I don't think I could let this phone go even if I do upgrade. I too will give it to my little brother

well, same as u. i love my X10. but i will change it to HTC after working.
It's due to working purpose. ( cox going to play stock market)
if compare x10 to HTC incredible S or desire HD or sensation.. i think HTC will probably work higher performance than x10 ><
I love the device.
But the way SE treats it makes me hate them.
The x10 is capable of so much but is being treated so badly by SE it hurts.
I mostly feel the damage in my wallet.
But the x10 is really cool and not too bad for my first android device.
It has taught me a lot about android.
If I were rich, I'd be changing phones like underwear.

I lol'd so hard.
On topic though, i do like my phone very much, even more after finding out about xda, even with a non functioning usb hub.
I was that attached to the X10 that I gave it to my girlfriend and bought a nexus s..
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I honestly do not like this phone as a whole. I only got this cause it was cheap. When possible, I'm gonna switch to another phone. For now, custom ROMs and tweaks will keep me busy.
Im not I only went with x10 as I got it at a reduced price, I prefer the Desire HD but could not afford that, I love the speed of the unit compared to my HTC Magic. but this is the last of a long line of smartphones so I am not blinded by the virgin user wow.
The hardware buttons annoy me and constantly turn the phone on, the flap on the usb REALLY winds me up and why it has the usb at the top.
Would swap without hesitation for a desire HD, so no emotional attachment for me
Very much until I found out mine had a problem with the motherboard overheating. Now it's pretty much nothing since I'm pretty happy now with my Motorola Atrix
Well the x10 was my first smartphone and I loved it. But I eventually got bored and I now have an inspire and have never looked back!
If you don't like, love or cherish your x10, then you are probably using it wrong
Quite a lot. I mean I sent it for the repair. It's been 9 days now and i missed it sooo much!
I was walking around the mall checking out iPhone 4, Xperia Arc, LG Optimus 2x etcetera etcetera and i say to myself 'nah I love my x10 i can wait'
Maybe it's because this is my first Smartphone =3
On a scale of 1 - 10
I would be around 9.
I am very emotionally attached to my x10.
I would consider that it is my very first smartphone (but i used asus windows phone 6.5)
I bought the x10 the first day it came out and went through a series of emotion with it. The year 2010 was a wild ride for me and this phone is a sign of these emotions.
If I were to lose this phone, I would be very sad.
I can get quite emo
Funny that we have posts in this thread from people who have gotten rid of their X10 because they were not attached to it, yet they are still browsing the X10 forums?????
Would swap it for an arc in a heartbeat, simply for the better screen responsivity and smoothness

Hi from a noob!!!!

Just thought i'd say hi, i'm an Android virgin just swapping from an Iphone that bored me......ordered my Note on saturday so expecting in 3 to 5 days according to Phones4u!!!
Really like the site already so much information, hoping that the Note can live up to my expectations and reading some of the comments on here it will!!
hahaha
Welcome
Goodbye boredom
Welcome.
An excellent reason to switch.
Why hang with turkeys when you can fly with eagles.
Hopefully you won't become a flash junkie and spend every night dowloading and installing new and better roms.
(like I did)
becoz size is matter ! lol
Just got the note delivered 2-3 hours ago. My first Android phone, was using SE P990 and Xperia X1 the last 3-4 years.
I fill completely lost havent even played with android before.
I will be asking noob questions in this thread
Mate you lucky you got yours, i have now been told by phones4u that orange won't honour the upgrade package they offered me so i am back to square one trying to get my note!!!
Good news, Orange are allowing the upgrade so i get my Note tomorrow, can't wait to have a look and explore the beast........
Welcome my brother.
i was like you too once i had every iphones/ ipads model. my first android device was the galaxy tab 7'' and after that i never look back at another iphone again, i don't think i will ever again. i still have 3 ipads that my kids play with, can't wait to get the note.
You won't be disappointed. Had my note just over a week and it keeps getting better. Just be warned once your eyes adjust to the big screen. Every other phone looks really small lol
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
There's much more you can do with bigger screen. Even if you crank the hardware to 3GHz quad core and 32GB of RAM, there's so much you can do on small screen. It's like installing a V6 sports engine on a city car and expect it to be able to run stable at 200 mph
Recieved my note today and i have to say I LOVE IT!!!
The screen is great and its not to big to hold no way not even in calls, i have experienced zero lag and the battery is great!
i can't put it down and don't get me started on android, i love it really do so if your thinking about getting it don't just get it...........FANTASTIC PHABLET!!!
