Availability in the Middle East - XPERIA X1 General

سلام عليكم
Peace Be On You
-------------------
The Xperia X1 is now available in most parts of the Middle East.
To my knowledge, I have only seen the silver one being sold. The Black one is expected to come within the coming weeks.
It is sold with the usual pacakaging. The memory card supplied is about 128MB and contains the Arabic software support. It also contains a pamphlet with instructions enable/disable the arabic language.The Physical Keyboard is strictly in English.
It is being sold for a price of 275 Kuwaiti Dinars= 3800 Saudi Arabian Riyals =3700 UAE Dirhams.
----------------------
My opinion, it's a beautiful device. Silver is marvelous. Ive waited so long to get it, I was a bit dissappointed that black wasnt available. I have opted to wait for the Black one. However, i imagine many will be content with silver. The device is much smaller than the pictures! It was shocking how much so. However, I will adopt patience and wait for the black one. X)

I Think prices dropped , i just got it for 2840 Dhs

the prices dropped for sure ,, i got it for 240 Kuwaiti Dinars
and it's black ;-D

i bought it two weeks ago for SR2780 black

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago (silver) and i like it very much. Mind you i like the HTC customization on their phones a lot better than the X1 but you can always flash custom ROMs or install TF3d on it anyway.
Its an amazing looking phone.

How many Xperia X1 have been sold ?

I am just wondering how many Xperia X1 have been sold out all over the world ?
Is the number somewhere near 1 mil ?
CAn we safely assume that 10% of all users on XDA have an X1?
I would not assume that 10% of all XDA-Dev members have an Xperia X1.
I dont know how often this phone is sold but when I look how many people
are currentlyviewing the phone threads the Touch HD is always best visited.
Greets,
p.s. used google? Once I saw a news that showed the numbers...
remember a while ago SE announce that the XPERIA was selling "well" said sony
hehe , 10% is a great success for Sony if its true ^^.
But as i can see , the X1 section on XDA have a quite large amount of posts and page-view ,though X1 is quite new , so the number of X1 must not be small
Bump for "I want to know too".
I doubt it's very high.
I have recently noted it being promoted in Carphone Warehouse in the UK, which is a very positive development. Not sure if the subsidized prices in the UK are enough to move a lot of units...???
Can't comment on most of the rest of the world. Not sold through any carriers in North America, though rumoured to be coming on Rogers this sooner (not sure if that's still valid).
It will get killed by the Touch Pro 2 soon...
i live in New York City, amd i havent met one person whom has an x1...and i also work for At&t and see tons of phones from EU and Japan, but 0 x1's
go figure...
i do have 1 though.
X1 sold
Hi everybody,
I already met 6 people here in Cologne Germany having one and two more telling they would get one when their contracts will be due.
Since it is rather expensive that is understandable.
I hope it spreads more - I really like the combination.
im in the uk (isle of wight - small island at the bottom)
and i have 2 other friends that have it.
so thats 3 people including me that i know have it here (and thats just close friends) so i think in the uk its sell well.
i think its probally not selling as well in the us as it is in europe
the x1 would have to be the biggest flop ever.... i have not ever seen one other person with an x1 and i travel between sydney, brisbane and melbourne often. not 1!
worst $1500AUD i ever spent and i feel ripped off by SE.

u did get ripped off. worked it out that $1500aud works out £750 in real money. u can buy a new sim free x1 in black for £400 or in silver for £450 online in the uk and only £550 if u buy it in a shop on the high street. u paid well over the top for it.
here in SWE, i've seen quite a lot since it was launched back in Oct.

toshiba tg01 for swap with hero

hi all,
i have a toshiba tg01 for swap for htc hero.
the tg01 is essentially a hd2 in a different skin, great phone, just not for me anymore
phone is immaculate, zero scratches and complete box with all original bits and bobs
looking for a quick swap, based in essex, united kingdom (right near lakeside shopping center)
pm me for offers
**other android phones considered
I got mine changed by Orange, the three replacement tg01's they sent *all* had the same problem - low / no mic volume.
Eventually talked to someone who offered a replacement choice of three different phones, one was Hero, smiles all round.
Worth trying

Where to buy NEW 2010 X2 Silver in USA ?

Okay, anybody know (for sure not guess work please) WHERE I could buy a New Xperia X2i SILVER that was made 10W28 or newer?
All the X2 s floating around in the U.S., even from reputable sellers, are made LAST year 2009 week 48 (!), that is November!!! The newest I found and bought was 10W03 (third week in January 2010) and I saw several, all of them have VERY dark LCDs. Meaning not bright white but rather a brownish tone to it.
So I am looking to find at least 1. So far not luck and I almost believe SE did not produce any after January 2010. What is your phones manufacture date? But SILVER only please. The black ones are still being produced, I know!
dont buy xperia x2! i have a one !it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look here got one a few days ago
And what is the manufacture date of your Silver X2?
The one you got, is it SILVER, and what is it manufacture date (sticker inside phone battery compartment -10Wxx or 09Wxx-)?
As for those people, I hope you did not pay that price, looks to me like price gaugers!!! The price in the U.S. is perhaps at a pricey retailer 4(!)39 =439 but certainly NOT over 500$$$$ ! Such suckers!
Mobilephoneonline has it now for 369!!!
But see, that is not the issue, I was asking WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURE date of the phones sold/bought.
So if you check and let me know, would be great. Thanks

don't beleive what you see on a site for more tech specs www.sonyericsson.com
Yeah, that is what I mean, most all suppliers in the U.S.A. have just 09W48, which is 2009 week 48.... OLD !!!
The latest one I found so far is 10W03, 2010 week 3, but all those have VERY dark screens. They have all kind of BROWNISH Color Tone.
So that is why I posted this, it would be VERY interesting WHERE to get a newer production phone and if those LCDs are dark too.
About this capacitve screen, no way. Same goes for Bluetooth version, most say its 2.1 I think even SE says it. BUT IT IS ONLY 2.0 !!! Suckers!
I use it as a second phone, it's ok. it lives up to my expectations. my primary phone is an HTC HD2 that is a phone for heavy use...
Anybody newer than 10W05 ?
Okay, just for info: anybody got a SILVER X2 with EN newer than 10W05 ?
This is Week 5 in 2010 ! Some say this phone has been discontinued and I never found any newer than 10W05 in the U.S. of A.
I almost got a silver but decided on the black - looks cool sexy. You sure you want a silver X2..well the shell looks gorgeous, but Michael - it simply sucks in the inside. I've become a software engineer instead of a salesperson since getting X2 last month...it sucks..trust me...it sucks..I am neck deep buried with lots of work to do and at the same time - most of the time; fiddling sw patches on my X2 instead of doing real business..might as well use a Moleskin notebook as a pda..the ranting goes on...

Where did you bought your P900\901\905? And where was it maded in?

My first one is P900, I bought it in China, and it was made in China. Its quality is
I bought another P900 in Korea, and it is in transit.
I hope it was made in Korea, because the samsung devices made in Korea usually have good quality.
I bought in Germany via Amazon. Quality is good. Only the silver Frame is extremely fast scratched.
Where to find the "made" Country
On my backside is only "made by Sammy"

Maybe it's on your manual or something, but in some countries it is not necessary to tell the costumer where the device was made in.
You can also try the app phone info samsung.
I just find the samsung devices made in Korea has even a better quality than apple devices.
usually made in Korea > made in China > made in Vietnam, but Samsung (or exactly the Samsung's factories) usually decide to sell worse devices made in China to Chinese, because China's law on protection of consumer is a joke
I boughted my SM-P900 off Amazon (usa), and it was apparently maded "in Vietnam by Samsung."
I've been quite happy with it, no issues. It feels solid and sturdy, although, I tend to baby new electronics for the first year or so. I got one of the Samsung book cover cases and a zagat screen protector (which is awesome, btw), and put both on immediatly after taking it out of the box.
So far, this tab appears to be much more solid and well built than my old asus TF700T, that's for sure. I still want one of those dual booting asus trio whatever. Google made asus scrap the duet, but they just came out with a better, more expensive dual boot convertible and called it a "trio."

On a sticker on the box. Or possibly by looking up some sort of serial or batch number and comparing it to some list that may or may not exist somewhere. If you're dying to know, you coukd call Samsung, I'm sure they could tell you. Most likely it's either China or Vietnam. I doubt it was made many other places.
Bought at Best Buy in Canada. Made in Vietnam.
I bought my P-901 from Cairo, Egypt and it is made in Vietnam By Samsung. Its quality is good but the silver borders are ugly.

Still not as ugly as the bezel on the Galaxy s5. It's hideous. If you get an s5, you better have a case to immediately throw that sucker in.
P905 LTE Black, Bought in Germany (Media Markt Nordhorn), no information on country of production.
Almost no device in the EU has that information on it. I spend 6 hours looking for it regarding my Note 3. No luck.
Quality is excellent, as I'm used to from EU devices.
What we established a few years ago is that legal quality demands in the EU are MUCH higher than in the US. A fact I've run into more and more often with newer devices. US devices had issues with creaking cases, loose screens, extreme light bleed, colour issues, loose buttons.. For the TF700T the entire US batch had these issues, including a quickly-breaking hinge, whereas the EU ones did not. Part of it is the legal laws, as our quality certifications are MUCH higher, and another part is our return policy. Where US shops easily accept a device that was used for 2 weeks back when the user 'dislikes it'. For us in the EU, the only way to do that after opening the box is if there's a factory defect. Used = No Return.
SM-P905 LTE. Purhased online from Negri Electronics. Fed Ex paperwork says Made in Korea.
In the Netherlands
Bought my P900 from Trendy Computers (Netherlands) for € 608,00. Works fine, no creaking case, almost no screenbleeding, I am a happy owner. Can't find any information about about where it is made.
made in Brazil
Mine is from Brazil made in the Samsung factory in Manaus the first one I got hat the silver part damaged near the power button the metal was gonna an u could see the plastic inside revealing that the metal isn't metal just a thing covering the plastic inside
So I changed worried that over time the silver plater could go loosing more and more of the silver finish the second one has the finish perfect but at first use the vibration sound was weird the stopped not sure why it seems xda has relates about similar issues in other people's tablets too it was like if my vibration was more strong Than most... really loud ...
As it has stopped I kept the device change things in Brazil is not easy even when broken they don't want give u a new but fix the broken I think mine warms a bit near bellow the camera location on normal use web browsing etc it gets 33 Celsius 90 f
What is the temp of yours ?
I bought my Black P905 in Germany (Base/Provider), yesterday i root my Device.. Yeeaahh
Bought in USA made in Vietnam.
Quality seems fine, kinda hard to judge with such a large plastic device, but no noise or uneven seems.
While at Best Buy i noticed that the display model flexed when picked up from a corner, after mentioning this to the Best Buy associate standing next to me, he took the tablet and proceeded to bend it, quite forcefully. The tablet bent what appeared to be between 3/8 and 1/2 in. across its width, with no damage, i was pretty impressed. Thats not to say I am going to show this feature off to friends but its nice to know it won't fall apart if treated a little rough.
Black 64GB P900 purchased in USA from Best Buy and it's made in Vietnam.
