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.

Hi All. Good news. MDA PRO is definately available in T-mobile shops as of today. My wife bought one today and I've just finished setting it up and have left is to charge.
For anyone interested, it cost: £219.00 on Relax 200 (18 month contract) with 6 months half price line. Wow! Feel like a mug now, bought a JasJar 3 days ago. Well all's well that ends well. We're on different networks, but I also picked up my 3G Sim card from o2 today, so will be testing 3G video calls/conferencing and faster internet connection later this evening. :lol:
Hi!
Have fun and enjoy it!
Yeah I have one too, £259.99 from scancom on uFix 15 (£15/month, 12month contract). Got TomTom 5.1 working on it, this is the most awesome device I've ever seen! :lol:
Disappointed about the lack of MSN Messenger though, gonna have to buy it from M$
Do you know if you can buy it sim free or pay as you go with T-Mobile?
was negotiating for mda pro £200 + web and walk (£30/month = 100min talk + 40MB ) on a 18 month contract.
But only one available in Leeds .. waiting for next Wednesday - Saturday to get two at the same time.
Did not even get a price back even with insurance (£8/month)
no double battery - leather casing -
the T-Mobile guy didn't took me as a serious customers (I'm young ;.. ) so I couldn't play around with the OS as I wanted ... just saw the nice colour of the screen + first boot not even the wm5 start menu or camera quality ..
MDA pro official released is Wednesday with web & walk tariff
02 didn't not have any public release date ( even commercial version ) cheaper for the device but more expensive for the contract
adamdon89:
Don't think they'll ever do them Sim free, but I'd love to be proved wrong!
lilliput:
My Mrs must have been extremely lucky if the official release date isn' till wednesday. Well, the salesman in T-mobile did say that it was the only one that came into the shop.
Why do they play with us so?

I had the feeling it was the only one that they had too.
Because they didn't do like O2 and do a marketing around the mda pro they need a quick other way to tell everyone that it will be there next Wednesday ... and it's working ... (marketing)
and I think also that's the reason why I didn't get any price on it.
Do you think it's valuable to get an insurance (£8/month) on it ?
My local T-Mobile shop told us that they should have it next Wednesday so waiting and see; (I'm going to buy 2 contract hope to reduce a bit more the price)
NB: Once I'll get it my main aim would be to run linux on it
Hi lilliput:
Linux eh? Sounds interesting! A little out of my depth but that's an open source code O/S isn't?
Insurance? Definately a must. I bought myself a jasJar 3 days before my wife bought a MDA Pro in T-mobile and the salesrep recommended insurance @ £7.99 a month. Incidentally, I searched around the net for insurance for my JasJar and was also quoted the same price by most PDA/Phone insurance companies. It's cheaper if you insure a standard phone, but these PDA/Phones are then covered for loss/theft & accidental damage to the tune of £1000.00 So overall, I think it's a good plan. Additionally, after a years of insurance you will be sent a brand new battery for your phone!
Such a small world... :lol: Where did your wife find that Mda Pro? Oxford Street T-Mobile? I was looking for an Mda Compact today and I was shocked when sales woman offered me Pro, she said she just got two of them and someone is picking up one later. It's too big for me though 8)
So anyway, it's easier to find a PRO than Compact :shock:
rottie: She bought it in the T-mobile shop in the Glades, Bromley, Kent. It was the only one that came in to the store on Saturday.
But if you're after a Magician....got the wife's ex-magician on offer with box and all bits and pieces, including 512MB SD card :lol:

T Mobile assure me you're lying and that NO WAY has ANY T mobile store got any, or sold any MDA Pros and won't for WEEKS yet. Oh, and the Norwich store on Gentleman's Walk has one, too. Which must also be a lie.

scancom.co.uk have had them in stock since Saturday, they must be lying too - I have mine in front of me right now :lol:
LIES :lol:
Call me a liar too then :lol:
yep it's Linux is an Open Source (and even more GPL software)
I've seen some really good version for mobile phone and wanted to tried asap.
(apparently I can even test it without uninstall anything )
wait Wednesday to get one .. few hours to wait ... ARGGGGGGGG..
for the insurance if get a battery for free after a year might be worth it.
I was afraid that 40MB/month are not enough.. If you think about it that's just 1MB/day roughly;
What's the extra software that you get with the mda pro ?
(any SD with it ?)
well i just been in the T mobile shop in the trafford center and they sold there last 1 of which they had 2 delivered sold 1 saturday a half hour b4 gutted so they are available but just not 2 me lol
...just got it from www.digitec.ch.
it is simply AMAZING...i don't know what to say, it is my third HTC device but the quality looks to be far improved...
Will recieve mine too from digitec.ch. Hope it arrives tomorrow but it could be that I have to wait an entire weekend
Cant wait to see the quality of the phone.
Btw, they have many german phones on on stock now. The price is about 827.- CHF which is about 554€ (no shipment costs in switzerland).
So hurry and buy one there
Digitec doesnt ship to uk or spain?
I have emailed them to ask about shipping to UK but no responce yet :S
same here, it is a great price and googlecheckout cancel my order to handtec :\
i received it today .. from comdatanet .. ...
digitech do NOT ship to UK
Do they ship to Germany?
I dont know where they ship and where not, but there is bad news at the moment.
The price suddenly raised to 889.- CHF about 594€. At the moment the prices fluctuate very much so its best to check every time the actual price.
I this as soon as the other big online shop in switzerland will have the HD on stock the price of digitec will fall again.
If you want to check the most online shops in switzerland at once go to www.toppreise.ch an search for the "HTC Touch HD" in the upper left corner of the website. Perhaps you find a shop with reasonable price which ships to you country.
Hope you'll succeed.
The email said they don't ship their products to foreign countries at all.
hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that in-stock Swiss price has risen again. I expect German prices to fall back to around 570€ quickly, once o2 Germany starts selling it at that price.

I ordered my HD from digitec on the 6th of November, it's already in the mail and I'll receive it on Monday the 10th. I got my English version for 869., including vat and free shipping. Can't wait!
Happy for you. Mine has been shipped today, and I hope to have it in hands tomorrow or Monday. Happy unboxing...

I bought mine also at digitec.ch for 827.- CHF. Was very lucky!
They shipped my unit today too, but unfortunately the post offices in switzerland wont deliver packages on saturday so I think I will have to wait until monday til I have my HD in my hands.
Really cant wait for it!

Did you get that price with an English language model?
It is going to be hard to wait all weekend to unbox that baby. My Trinity is already looking at me with sad eyes
I've started collecting cabs for the HD already. There are a few from the Diamond forum that sound interesting, like the landscape typing app gyrator 2 etc.
I took the german version. This morning the english version was also at a price of 827.- CHF. Now all versions raised in their price
Yeah...will be the hardest weekend of all, at least I will be a little distracted while learning for some tests an university.
Monday morning I will be up asap
I also started sollecting some apps to improve the HD experience. Hope they will work like on the diamond or touch pro.
i ordered mine for 907 CHF, in september. On monday, i contacted them since the list price had fallen to 888 and asking about the delivery time. Despite it is not their usual policy, they refunded me of the difference and they shipped on the same day.
Notice that the change in price is simple and mathematical consequence of the EUR/CHF exchange rate: 1.52....1.42...1.48...
...sorry to insist for those that don't have it yet....It is an amazing device, i cannot believe it.
I could read the pdf manual on the screen one page at a time...and i can keep the smallest font without loosing readibility. I tried to take a picture of it with my Nikon camera, but i am not able to render it.
the LCD is incredibly sharp, the small pixel size has a strange effect on my brain. I almost prefer to read small at high resolution - without moving the eyes - than reading on a large screen with less resolution...
...and for my trinity friends: my trinity now looks cheap plastic, this one looks solid metallic and has a fantastic feeling....the screen looks glass....looking for a problem somewhere - but i cannot find it yet!!!
...I stop here, I don't know what to say in order to describe my satisfaction!!!!
Phone shops in the UK are advertising big for the X10 mini, with the slogan "small in size, big on fetures".
So is anyone going to get one of the best (for the price) Android so far, a rather cheap £230 sim free.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWFUKUMA2ds
Looks very fast in the video, would of thought there was a 1ghz processor.
Wait for the x10 mini pro with the keyboard. I'll probably upgrade to that if its good.
This is the dumbest looking phone from SE
Having the big brother myself, i bought the mini for m g/f and she loves it!
I think it is marketed for the ladies? My Mrs says she would like one in pink or white. I see them advertised in France, but when I look for it on the service providers web sites still nothing. Strange that there is still no 2.x android! Not that my Mrs will care.
However, I did see it at Phone House for one Euro with a one year service contract. But again it did not specify which carrier.
It's the Mrs B-day next week and i would love to have this by than. Also, going to get the mw600, which she will love.
im getting the pro one when it comes out. this will replace my n97mini!
I am not considering any SE phones until I know for certain that SE keeps its promised upgrade schedule. There are a lot of other phones in this world to contemplate.
Hi all!
One of our Operators here in Bulgaria is promoting the Streak! I'm thinking of getting one the minute they are actually available in my city but was wandering will these be DELL units or branded ones... We are small country so they may be DELL ones but....

Which operator is it??
The Operator is VIVACOM but as usual most of their stores don't even know they are selling it! It will be at least a week until they have it in stores! ;(
I hate VIVACOM's promotions! They have it on their web site and the state that is available in the stores but.... They do this every time! I guess I can't do anything but wait! At least it will cost me around 23 Euro a month (for 2 years) to my current contract which is not so bad.
Hello!
Now we have two And I bought my Dell Streak Vivatel of a two-year contract. Looks great device.
Hey guys, as the popular term goes, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and have to say what an awesome section this is! I was hesitant after bad reviews whether or not to get this bad boy, but after reading countless positive opinions on this forum I have decided to take the plunge. My only question is, do you guys think it's safe to get it off eBay for 400$au? It just seems very cheap and I want to know it's factory unlocked and not hacked before I get it, thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

eBay comes with buyer protection anyway so you won't loose your money
just check the sellers feedback score and histroy, if it seems to be too good to be true!!
i brought my xperia play from ebay and was perfectly fine just sim locked when it came out
Hi man
Im in Australia and bought mine through Ebay for AUD $398 about 2 months ago so that price is right. It came from Hong Kong, it works perfectly, im heaps satisfied with it and there are no faults.
Also to let you ease your mind dude, they are unlocked so they work with any Australian mobile network and also when purchasing the phone make sure you get the R800i xperia play model as these ones work on all of the Australian network bands for mobile 2G, 3G etc.
Another thing also like someone said before, Ebay offers their protection program and if you use paypal they also offer their own protection program so you are pretty much covered if somethings goes wrong.
Have fun with it dude If you wanna know anything else let me know.
the r800a runs on telstras 3g network, not the r800i, and it costs a fair bit more to buy but is worth it imo for telstras far superior network(least where i live)
the r800i can use telstras old 2100mhz 3g network..but thats not long for this world..
TLR telstra:r800a, optus or anyone else:r800i
Thanks guys, I'm actually in china now on holiday so I'm wondering whether to grab one while I'm in hong kong, but as previously mentioned eBay gives the security of buyer protection... will let y'all know how it fares but either way I'm looking forward to joining the club
just bought mine through ebay, price was $394 (ausd). came with an 8gb card, case, screen protector and car charger. seller is based in hong kong and i'd gladly recommend him if you were to buy through ebay. no hassles, no stress, no problems at all. seller even used ups for shipping which allowed full tracking online. i bought my unit on a thursday. ups online said that the unit was already in melbourne by saturday. got my phone by monday morning (darn, no postal services on sundays =)
2 of my friends got it through the same vendor I think. He's called rose#somenumber#.
Trouble-free and they got it for 280-300€ depending on the change rate.
280-300? Geez, that's a bargain! I saw that rose guy (or girl) on eBay but Aussie price is 385, still a good buy, just wanna stop at HK first n see if I can haggle a bit with the locals

just be careful, mate. no offense to anyone honk kong related...i was based there for 2.5 years mind you...but a mate of mine dropped by hk recently. he bought a brand new xperia arc and haggled for a lower price. the seller took out 150 bucks from the phone. phone was working fine but when he got back to melby the phone stopped functioning.
if you're going to hk, try getting the phone in tsim sha tsui (kowloon). specifically, ocean terminal (right beside the ferry and bus depot). there's a building there called star city. second floor houses the best electronics from reputable stores. or, there's something similar in wan chai (hk side). but personally i prefer the one in kowloon as the one in wan chai can be a bit dodgy regarding some stores.
im not sure what country your in but if your not in australia you may have to pay import tax which will boost the price
Thanks for the advice guys, ended up getting it from wanchai paid 340aud so pretty happy, it is a wicked phone so far n I havent even rooted it yet! Need some help with but I asked in another thread and am googling as I type thanks again guys, looking forward to exchanging info once I suss it out.
