New Review of X1 - XPERIA X1 General

Hi All,
The link below is to a review of the Release Version.
http://www.hardwarezone.com.au/reviews/view.php?cid=24&id=2726
I open it up for your collective comments.
Personally, the negative about the camera light and Keyboard are not "deal breakers".
I think the biggest hurdle is going to be the price and availability versus the new competition such as the Touch HD (Blackstone) or the Asus Galxy7.
Great forum to learn on.
Best wishes,
David

Will X1 get its own section on xda forum?

I love this forum. I'm a new member and haven't posted much but I've been reading a lot, and screwing around with my HTC Startrek. I'm also in the market for a new phone soon, and when it comes down to the Touch Pro or the X1, I like the fact that the Touch Pro has an overwhelming community here on XDA with an abundance of information available. I'm sure the X1 will have its own communities (some are already showing up on google), but will the X1 get its proper forum space here?
After all, it IS an HTC manufactured device for SE, and the Palm Treo 750 has its own section here... I don't see why not?!
The X1 is in it's own section already. This post is in the Sony xperia x1 Forum, I'm not quite sure what you mean?

X1 forum
And as the X1 is actually a HTC manufactured device and nearly identical to the Touch Pro (not including screen, camera or keyboard) the community here for the X1 should be pretty impressive.
I am just curious if they have fixed that terrible keyboard I keep reading about on the X1.
well currently the community for the x1 is nowhere near as large as the touch pro... but thats because its not out yet. if you look at the palm 750, it has its own section of the forum which consists of several child discussion areas. I was just wondering if the X1's community here will be large enough to warrant such an implementation for the X1 on xda. A strong support community (which xda offers) is important to myself and many others in the final selection of which device. I guess ill just have to wait and see!
Check out xperiancers.com
I'm hoping the X1 won't need a big section, because it will work great right out of the box. If people are happy with the stock ROM, there won't be a huge number of people cooking and trying new ROMs. And S-E runs the above site. If they do a good job of listening and responding to issues, maybe we won't need to have a community to solve problems.
I have a dream...
Regardless, they're releasing a software development kit for people to make their own interactive panels. Even if not to "fix" things, developers are going to be wanted to add content to a great device. Based on the SDK being free I think you'll see PLENTY of software support from large companies as well as individuals on this forum.
On a side note...
Finally after i type Xperia in google it doesnt suggest that i wanted Xeria

Touch Pro Vs. Xperia - For those who have owned/used both at a time

Hi,
Note: Those are casting their votes, if they can post their comments too, that would be great. But PLEASE try and post the current result of the poll in your reply so that those who haven't used both devices are not tempted to cast their vote in order to see the result. Thank You!
This poll is strictly for those people who have owned or used both Xperia and Touch Pro. Please don't vote otherwise.
Before you cast your vote, please note that this is not a comparison of both devices, so no need to go into details. It is simple; "In a nutshell - as a user of both devices (Xperia and Touch Pro), which device do you prefer?"
Best Regards.

I sold my Touch Pro and kept the Xperia, and still after three weeks I still love my Xperia I normally am bored by phones after some weeks when finding out bugs and so and I change phone often, but the Xperia is a keeper

i owned both and the diamond, bored/sickof battery life but the X1 is a clear winner, even the keyboard is way perfect.....
Will post here once I get my Xperia with my thoughts (I suspect it'll win out over the Touch Pro, if for nothing else because of the superior browsing experience).

My Review of iPhone vs HTC Diamond 2 vs HTC Magic

Great review! It's so rare these days to see an unbiased comparison between iPhone and its competitors. It's also pretty rare to see one with a well informed opinion from a casual hacker's point of view. Thanks for sharing it!

A tribute to the HD2 Part 1 by azrienoch

Posted on the Android news section for those who don't check it
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/a-tribute-to-the-htc-hd2-part-one/
nice reading!
Thanks AthenaLod for posting the link for those members that do not visit or make use of the XDA Portal. I personally visit the Portal at least one or more a day. ai saw the story there today and was like that is way cool. Kudos to The best that XDA TV has to offer azrienoch for writing this story. I will be waiting and watching for the second part of the story as it is way cool to see a story talking about the history of the mega development the HD2 has gotten.
The HD2 is truly the Excalibur of smartphone devices. I will hold onto mine even when the main board finally plays out. It will set in a self as a constant ommige to it being my first smartphone, getting me hooked on learning about hacking devices, and to the sher awesomeness of the HD2. Long live the HD2!
i love the hd2 so much that now i have mine, my brother has one, and my sister has one (got it today)
good article, when is part 2 coming?
no idea! waiting as well
yeah, by far the best phone ever had..
It's now reported that it's running the WP 7.5 (mango)!

OnePlus 2 Real Life Review (Missing topics)

Hi,
after some experience with oneplus support I thing there are some missing topics on the "OnePlus 2 Real Life Review".
like
Manufacturer
product strategy
value for money
support
What do you think?
Hello and good evening,
I think support should be added to the Real Life Review section. The other thing are not so important for me. Does not mean, it's not important for others.
You may suggest this to the admins using this thread:
[All XDA Members] Feedback/Recommendations for XDA
Kind regards
Trafalgar Square
+1 for Support topic to be added the the Real Life Review section.. am sure loads of OP owners will have something to say about their horrendous RMA experiences. Just take a look at some of the comments on one of the regional Oneplus FB pages, they're mostly about being unable to contact support when their hardware failed. A Support topic would really put some pressure on Oneplus to up their tech support game and alert potential buyers to the pitfalls of purchasing a Oneplus.
thanks for the answers,
in my opinion support is the most important thing from does I'v listed above.
(I just put the other on the list to be more complete)
however I think that three voices are not enough to make it happen
so it would be good to get some more before it goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
