I am the very worst Gadget-a-holic on the planet I think. This year alone:
i
iphone << Hated it. Gave it to my son.
i-mate ultimate 9502 << Sold it after a few weeks
Samsung i900 Omnia << Sold it IMMEDIATLEY .. hated it.
HTC Touch Pro << A really nice phone . but
Blackberry Bold << never had a blackberry. Tmobile didn't have the correct service books, so the Blackberry browser wouldn't work. Sold it. I will wait until Tmobile gets the books ..
Then I ordered the new Google Phone - All along wishing for the Xperia to be released. But the Google phone looks great - It is an HTC phone right ? The HTC Touch Pro was really nice, but ... Now the Xperia is out. A dealer/seller said he can get me one next week. I wonder if I should wait to see what the Google phone is like .. but ... I HAVE WAITED FOR A YEAR FOR THE XPERIA.

PS .. I keep going back to my trusty Nokia N93 while I wait for the next gadet to be released. So far the only new phone I have an interest in is the Xperia .. What I have learned so far is NEVER AGAIN get a phone without regular keys. The next Blackberry will be touchscreen by keyless also. So that will not be a phone I test drive. I really like the BB Bold though.
PPS ... I still take my HTC Shift with me almost every day to the office. I hardly ever turn it on, but it feels good to know it is in my purse right next to me if I want to use it.
Could please share why you didn't like the iPhone and the Omnia? (a friend is thinking about buying an Omnia)
Anyway, i don't like the G1, cos imo it's VERY ugly, can't look at it
Another reason is cos it sounds like a half-baked device, sure you get the open source android but out of the box you don't have video recording and other features, that you've come to expect.
Probably won't be as satisfying to get it now, when android programs are yet to be made, as to ... say an year from now, when all the little things are going to be worked out (and who knows there might even be prettier devices)
I only have 1 problem with the Omnia and it is the same thing as the iphone. No keyboard. I don't do a lot of texting, but when I do it takes me forever .. maybe because I am female and have nails [just a very small nail - don't picture those claws.] and I am overly worried about my nails on the glass and sometimes it takes forever to type something without mistakes.
If I could invent a phone - I would put the keyboard on the top and the touchscreen would slide out rather than the other way around. I can't remember who the maker was, it was maybe 3-4 years ago even, but there was a phone with the ear and mike on the back side of the phone . . this way the glass didn't get scratches from your earrings or dirty with makeup.

After receiving my X1 yesterday, I was TOTALLY disappointed. What a piece of shi*
The thing is SLOW, the screen is TINY, and the panels interface....what a waste of time and energy. I've always used WM phones in the past and owned the original iPhone and then the 3G iPhone. I love my iPhone and hate it at the same time (don't worry this isn't an iPhone fanboy post). I need my cut and paste, and overall basic functionality without having to jailbreak the damn thing to make i do what I want.
So I thought I would cop an Xperia. It didn't last 24 hrs before I decided to RMA that puppy right back to SonyStyle.
What I hated about it:
- Screen was TINY. I was really shocked at how small it was. The screen and the unit itself. The web pictures and reviews don't really paint a picture of how small this thing is. Small and light is good, but the screen is crappy after coming from an iPhone.
- Touchscreen? I think not. The touch screen is no more touch than a PPC-6700.
- SLOOOOOOOW
- After charging it and waking up this morning the screen was defunct. It was like the contrast was turned all the way up or something. The sceen looked totally washed out. Major disappointment.
Overall I was just really let down. This phone is not work $799. Maybe I set my expectations too high, but it wasn't at all what I was expecting.
Not to mention I was already thinking about putting TouchFLo on it, then I said...why am I trying to put TouchFLo on this piece of crap when I can just get me a Touch HD and be done with it.
I want the CLOSEST thing to an iPhone style setup but with ease/convenience/flexibility of Windows Mobile. I PRAY that I won't be disappointed with the Touch HD I just purchased.
I understand how you feel. If I were you, I would have just installed TF3D onto your xperia. That's the clostest to an iphone setup. I have an iphone too and it takes some getting use to the xperia touch screen.
almost the opposite, after using it for the day, im put my iphone 3g up on ebay for sale
using Touch-IT Xperi.v3.5 and disabled the panel and X key, it is fast and responsive. the only disappointment is the screen is lower than surrounding. really good resolution.
Also topic creator, HTC makes this "crap" phone that you speak of (xperia) Same company who makes the touch HD
Yea I understand I would try it with the new updated ROM R2 (but you have already RMA'd it) but I felt the same way - for the price it should be much better - I feel the real problem is with the software and the latest SONY released ROMs have made the phone actually work.
yogi:
I'm fully aware that HTC makes the Xperia. I'm sure Sony had a lot to do with how they wanted their phone to operate. I'm generally just not pleased with it. I feel good about the Touch HD. I think it's going to be the closest I can get to a Windows Mobile funtional OPEN phone with iPhone like useability. I should have known the X1 wasn't going to be much different from an old PPC-6700 that I owned back in the day.
That's cool man but I would have gave the xperia some more time. I was going to get a touch HD myself but couldn't pass up the price I got for the xperia. And with the new update, touchFlo 3D is butter smooth.

Have you heard of customizing the phone to suit your needs? If you want it to perform out of the box, then you should have stuck with your iphone
you should read what are you buying. Xperia is a professional device, made for use with a stylus or to be customized with alternative interface.
I you want a soap box ready to use go to buy an iphone
different target, different potential, different users
All the customizing in the world couldn't make up for the work needed to get that Xperia up to par.
Get over it man!

X1 --- You gotta love it
the iphone is a joke compared with any decent windows mobile device... a gadget that you have to "jailbreak" just to do something without going the manufacturer's way is a ****ing ****.
anyways, my X1 is fast, actually is one of the fastest (in overall experiencie) wmo devices out there. also, the screen is not tiny, sure the iphone or the touch hd are a bit bigger, but hey, the x1 itself is smaller! do you understand that you can't get both things (smaller device + bigger screen = fail).
i don't understand why you decided to get an x1 if you were happy with the form factor of the iphone. i would have thought that the touch hd iis the closest match.
personally, i'm delighted with the x1. it's the first pocket pc i've ever had that actually feels like a phone rather than a pda in my pocket.
i'm more than happy to have a smaller screen if it means that the device is more pocketable, and i get a hardware keyboard too.
admittedly the panels aren't much to shout about but i've got absolutely no complaints about speed on my device. on the contrary, it's the fastest pocketpc i've ever owned.
hopefully the touch hd will be more suited to your needs ...
Im sooo sorry for you!
Cmon man, this is a developers site. If you dont like it, customize it!
I dont really know WHY youre telling us how you hate it? Like we care.
I love my Xperia!
3.5" @ 320 x 480
3" @ 800 x 480
Righhhhtt.....
If 0.5" matters to you that much, go back to iPhone

Are u using Xperia from Sony Ericsson???
Mine is different. Clear screen, fast and wonderful. If I may say, this baby just know what I need.
my SE X1 rocks ....
i always get compliments about it! (more than an iphone would anyday) ok the panels are kinda a waste of space ...but still they are still cool.
and yes when i first got it i didnt like the speed and it did lag ...but its now a custom pocket rocket, no operator crap etc.
i would like to say a friend of mine has a iphone, played with it for a few hours and was very disapointed. apart from the flashy UI its really a rubbish phone (bought through a apple hype machine that tells u its cool to have one). the x1 was hard to get into but some remarks made are rubbish. small screen???? slow? i think not.
ps. bluetooth / mms on iphone anyone, screen rez is poor too and i heard it cant multitask. thats why it runs very fast.
thats my rant over.
u should also check out the phone before u buy it, i checked out iphone/htc hd and blackberry storm. its only when u have it in your hand and have a play u can really decide which is best for u. i needed the hardware keyboard
There's always individual need which is important.
Many many users rather want a device to "feel right" than "do a lot". And that's fine.
However IMO the author makes two mistakes: X1 screen is many times better than iPhone, and "iPhone" usability is laugh compared to X1...
Provocation... ehh...
Hey, while all the folks over at "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet " , i figured i shouldnt be alone in this!
fall in here if your X1 has brought u shame, disgrace or something negative !! no shame go to the thread above by my bro !
me,
1) chicks commented too heavy
2) my fading battery cover brought "eeeeeeeks"
you start to show it in front of your friend, and the X1 is starting to lag up/crash.
It happened to me once, and that was just embarrassing
Might want to try one of the cooked roms
Never brought me shame.
no shame go to "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "
here is for the shamers !!
LOL....not all the time though. It only happened to me once or twicem and that was when i showed it off. LOL....
My X1 is kinda shy
It has brought me shame a few times.
First day out of the house with the phone, i dropped it, it simply slipped out of my hand, and battery case battery all flew off in different directions at the station, people must have thought i was trying to show off my X1 but then dropped it!
Second major thing that happened, a good friend of mine has an iPhone, and I regularly insulted him about the iPhone and how when I would get an Xperia, how much more useful customizable it is. So I got it out to show him the facebook panel, and it crashed completely! Just so embarrassed!
Last time it embarrassed me was when I called a company trying to recruit me, thinking it was a friend of mine, was very embarrassing trying to explain that I had called the wrong person!
But since I have been on this forum, the X1 has become a lot easier to use and run and more stable, a lot say that the weakest part of the X1 is the OS which is true, but it is so customizable, that it kind of compensates.
I just wish the phone was as smooth as the K750, W960 and W950 from the first day I recieved it!
No shame here... the fish panel is a popular and winning flaunt panel!
pls folks !!!! no shame go to my bro's thread "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "
shame here only !!!!! hahaahahah
oh cmon.....we all have our fair bit of embarrassing moment with our X1
It wouldn't hurt to share them all here....hahaha
I had once where I was calling a guy to talk to him about the phone, since he thought about purchasing mine... well the phone some how disconnected/dropped the call, so I had to reboot and tried to call him back and he didn't answer. >.< There goes that sell. Made him think twice about the phone I guess
LOL OMG
classic ~ ~
so have you sold your phone?
my worst:
after having the x1 for a few weeks i was showing it off to my dad,
i was showing him the pannels and opened media pannel,
i was flicking through my pictures he was impressed then a picc of my NAKED GF showed up! i tried as quick as i could to move on but it lagged and the pic was on for a good 5 seconds. He was impressed now lol
i had moved those type of pics out of my pitures folder but it still shows.
HOW EMBARRASING never showed off the media pannel again
haha...well iPhone is like James Bond...calm, composed but cant do it all...sucks in non-weapon combat and interrogation
whereas X1 is like Jack Bauer....is vulnerable but gets the work done and can kick Bond's ass anyday!
if my X1 crashes..it crashes hard....but when it works..it does so much more than any other phone....it is because it tries to do everything thrown at it.
Haha, some nice stories out here...
Well, mine was pretty simple:
In class I wanted to know how fast the keyboard slides out and how much energie it has. Well, of course it was very fast so I lost controll and it jumped out of my hands.. Embarassing...But fortunately I knew that it would be pretty fast and so it fell only on a table.
Anyway..
hm...
i think my x1 likes self destructiion...
everytime it slips out of my handy on the floor (that happened 5-6 times now in front of someone) the battery jumps out and slide over the whole ground...
then my phone freezes in front of my friends... (and they laughed at my while i was putting out the battery then restart it)
I had very embarassing moments with Xperia when I realized it plays video slower then my 3 years old Palm. Now I'm ashamed to show it to anyone, what if they ask me about the video playback ?
I asked a lass if she wanted to poke my fish
what dose it do? she asked
Just poke it and it swims off sulking
my phone had crashed and the fish had frozen
It always freezes or lags when I let anybody play with it. Actually it does that to me too but I try to pretend like it never happens since I payed $660 for this piece of crap.
guys. it was pure JOY to be an owner of SE Xperia, but enough is enough. I just got another cracks so I've decided to let it go and got myself new htc hd2.
seriously, typing in landscape on it is not that bad and comparable speed/accuracy wise with that not so perfect x1 physical qwerty. btw... speed. snapdragon. do I need to say more?
anyway... I guess no x2 for me after what I've seen on videos. no n900 either, even if I was considering getting one. x2 is daaaamn tooo slooooooww (seems to stutter even more than x1) and n900 unfortunately is a one big bug and shortcoming.
wish me luck...
see You on other parts of the forum. bye...
BTW: anyone knows what've happened with orelsi?? I almost miss that crazy bugger always knowing better... maybe his xperia finally cracked and he commited seppuku?? lol
lol good luck with your hd2, im thinking of buying one myself as a second device
btw, i too was wondering what happened to orelsi lol, havent seen him around here for a while, let's hope he aint clocked out
Well always good luck with the device you wish beeing the best for you.
Capactive screen is like seppuku for me,
As for HD2.
Actually I wonder more and more often what will I do in the future.
Even considering that I'll get my X2, I assume capactive will become
a ****ing tendency soon.
In this case I don't imagine using TouchScreen anymore!
well there will be two of us ... i hate so much capacitive ... but there might be some explanation for this ... my hands get really wet often and touching with the sensitive part of my fingers and swaping around gives me the nerves so i always touch the screen with the nails or top finger ... and not to mention the stylus problem ... I hope there are more people who dislike this thing... Ive heard there are also screens hybrid ... capacitive and resistive screens around.
And what the hell ... I dont get it this finger typing is by default non precise how can you make objects so big that you can use only your finger in such a small screen ... Web pages are not so big and with buttons there are also links ...
This is all Iphone fault
the snapdragon really makes a big difference in the speed and performace compared to slow x1 doesnt it??
i too dumped my x1 for a snapdragon phone. the lower-profile acer s200. lol. (hd2 a tad too big for me).
now i can watch hq wmv videos with no stutter at all.
i was looking at that phone as a replacement but just cant afford a new one when the x1a is still fullfilling my needs.
good luck with that phone, looking forward to reading your xperience (pun intended) with the hd2. hopefully next year i will replace my x1a with the hd2 or maybe an hd2 pro in the future.
well... still here. waiting for hd2 (delivery on monday, great deal with o2).
do not get me wrong, as I am not trying to convert anyone to hd2, but this whole need for resistive screen and real qwerty is becoming less and less obvious for me.
capacitive screen, read - toughened glass, hard to scratch, forces companies like ms to improve ui on their systems. see... the only good uses for styli are handwriting (are You handwriting with Your mouse on a pc?) and drawing (again, are You so much better with drawing using mouse on a pc comparing to sketches made with finger on a capacitive touch screen??). imho multitouch is more important than stylus.
qwerty... well... again - do some tests as I did. spb keyboard 4.1.1 trial, landscape fullscreen with clicking sound for better typing feel. I couldn't believe my eyes, as it wasn't much slower (if it was at all) or less accurate.
all I'm going to miss is xperia's still shot quality. some pictures shot in daylight are comparable quality with real cameras, and not those ****ty ones.
... but hey. I won't have to convert videos anymore.
anyway... I will keep my x1 as a backup device and I'll come back in here to share my hd2perience from ex x1 user point of view.
btw, I am not beeing paid for it.

i am torn between the HD2 and the X2
X2 = slow and keyboard
HD2 = Fast and no keybard
But i am so tempted to get the HD2 - to be honest i cant ever see my self using like the tilewave etc on x2 >.<
yeah... spb ms 3.5.x and manila are mos def better option than panels. have You tried that test with onscreen keys that I mentioned above? this and a visit in local o2 shop to get the feel of it convinced me to give it a go.
the last thing I was worried about was the lack of d-pad, but... honestly I do not play games much. other thing is that with recently hacked multitouch api apps like fpsece could use it in the future for virtual onscreen pad.

that would be really funny if it were true.
I think I might upgrade to a N900 after I save enough money - the X1's reception issue is a nightmare, even after testing 8 radio versions. At least with Nokia there is assurance of reception quality - what use is a smartphone if I can't even access 3G?! Or any thing except for WiFi, for that matter. Reception is sporadic at best, and at worse it doesn't even pick up a signal but my Nokia does display full signal strength...

Well exactly my points.
I am not sure why everyone so upset with X1, except for kinda wimpy 7200 chip.
I like keyboard, and don't really care about resistive or capacitive touchscreen. I am fine with either.
The one thing I don't use that much, but I am certain I would greatly miss is the physical keyboard. I don't think I am going to switch until there is a full keyboard on a snapdragon.
The cracks that everyone complains about are really just a cosmetic issue, and I don't really care too much about it (although I did re-shell my phone to make it black).
It is always kind of interesting to me the various types of devices that people decide to get and why. For the most part I understand each individuals reasoning, but I am yet to be swayed that there is a better device for me.
If anyone knows of a full QWERTY hardware keyboard unit with a snapdragon that is on the horizon PLEASE let me know.
Also, I miss Orelsi in a weird way. I suppose it was just his belligerent insistence on his perspective. I bet he got an iPhone too,
EDIT: I forgot about one thing that greatly aggravated me (although I had same problem on Kaiser) was that the keyboard goes bad and needs cleaning. Because of that I reshelled because I figured if I am gonna tear it apart anyway I might as well make it look like new.

actually there's one announced quite recently,LG eXpo GW820, 1 Ghz+qwerty,plus finger print security and a detachable projector as an optional accessory. it was initially announced for the american market and didnt mention european market,so we shall wait n see.
you might also want to keep an eye on toshiba n Acer as well,since they both got on the 1 Ghz ladder pretty early but havent make it go with qwerty yet.
btw,I am on the same boat with you, just want a decent processor with qwerty win mobile, not fussy about how advanced the bloody touch screen is going to be whatsoever...

he said he was using his phone to get on the net as his pc broke, i bet his x1 broke (cracked) so he cant get on the net anymore lol
ok guys. I just got it.
wow... that's all I can say. all You nonbelievers go to Your local mobile phone stores to have a look. bit too large, but I'll get used to it. speed... omg, I never knew that winmo can be that snappy. it's so iphone 3gs fast and smooth that I think I'll jizz in my pants. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4)
one last thing, try it, and forget about anything other than snapdragon. seriously.

Yeah, actually I knew of that, but I am afraid of leaving XDA, so I guess I meant an HTC-based device with physical QWERTY and snapdragon
Nothing in particular against LG, but I am not sure I want to deal with their ugly iPhone-like interface.
Hi guys, I'm writing to you in order to get some advices/experiences. The old handy of my wife is slowly dying and it's time to think bout something new. I'm writing in this section because she is a Sony Ericsson lover and she grabs my HTC Desire whenever she can to play Angry Birds...
The point is that I don't have ANY experience on Sony Ericsson Android models...plus the few of them I could hold in my hand didn't really impressed me at all..actually..let's just say I didn't like them at all..
So..beacuse of our budget I first was thinking to get her a ZTE Blade, which seems worth its cost..but before moving on I would like to read some of your opinions: you that you own this X10...are you satisfied? Would you recomend it?
And last but not least: is it a tough phone? I mean..I know with tecnology you HAVE to take care...but my wife just can't do that: she really doesn't pay ANY attention to her "tecnological stuff" & she's SO MUCH in love with her present handy cause it survived any sort of torture you can put ur handy through!!
So..I could get the ZTE at his full price on eBay...or the X10 with a discount of around 200€ on a local shop...which one to choose?
Hope I didn't brake any forum rule with this..
Anybody there?

When i had my x10 it had a rubber case and it was pretty resilient, the stock screen protector on a new x10 saves the screen some damage but a touch screen phone in the same pocket as your keys is a bad idea.
The only hardware problem i can think of is the microusb port on the phone has a habit of coming loose (although i never had a problem with it)

Mind you the x10 has got a larger screen, in general feels like a more quality phone. You can pick up a cheap case (the rubber ones not silicone). The buttons on the front are subject to some wear and tear, should be fine if you don’t torture it
There was a guy from India ,he posted his phone which got under a BUS..screen cracked,buttons not working but voila he could make calls,half of the screen was working with touch...if you talk about build quality X10 indeed is on the strongest phone.
and with 2.3 X10 is as par with arc as i know women don't care about bravia display,exmor r crap and all..!!
