How many of you have replace your X1 with other device

Hi Guys,
I am a X1 owner since Apr 09, when I bought it seems like dream come true. But as time goes by I am really disappointed with the built quality, the glossy coating of d-pad button is peeling off. I've been thinking to replace my X1 with other device/brand.
I just want to know: how many of you guys have replace your X1 with other device within first 6 months of usage?
Cheers

I'm happy with it, I can't see why so many people are always moaning.

Actually I am very ok with it, just that the keyboard is failing me for the second time... its kinda pissing me off...

+1 .

Think the polls should be either "yes" or "no" cause im not keeping till death do us part - nor do i think its a piece of crap.
I'm waiting till my cotracts finished then will confisder the x2

No problem, keeping it til' death do us appart
seems that death did us apart too soon
nice phone though. i'm using it only as a 3G Modem

in the begining i wasnt to impressed with the x1a that i have and kind of regret buying such an expensive phone but after a year of having it, i think it is about equal to any other phone out on the market today.
im still on the original rom, i have tom tom, skyfire, opera mini 4.2 and 5.0, ae button plus and it does just about everything i need it to do.
i was considering a new phone but the x1a is doing everything that i need it to do. i have not had any cracked issues but i did notice that the outer bottom square ring of the dpad has chipped but not gotten any worse. i think i can wait another year for another phone and by that time, the new phone should be a real upgrade in software and hardware.

I'm thinking about replacing mine when it is dead.
It is a nice phone with so much potential but I am really upset with Sony Ericsson on the way that they have treated their X1 customers....given that I got mine about April this year I was expecting Sony to at least provide us with the 6.5 upgrade but that looks like never going to happen..
Mr Frog....

I'll have my X1 well into the first half of 2010. Still waiting on an Android 2.0 thats a complete package. I can wait though, WildChilds WM6.5 ROMs have breathed new life into my X1.

Sony Ericsson has never given a free OS upgrade for their phones ever, only minor firmware updates. I still don't know why people were expecting one for the X1.

I'm waiting for quad core X22.
The X1 works for me with a few tweaks.

there are 2 categories of xperia users
1) you kept the stock rom and did no customization, therefore you hate the phone because it's extremely laggy and it freezes alot
or
2) you reflashed your rom with a faster custom rom, therefore the phone is more interesting and more bearable
i was in your position abuot 2 months ago was planning to sell the x1 and pick up the htc hero, but after i reflashed my rom with a custom rom(Touch-IT Xperience v16_Build21055_wm6.1) the phone seems to be 1000x times better imo

That is not the RULE.
Mine X1 has 10 months and on stock ROM is not laggy at all.

I flashed it. I love it, but it has flaws. Keyboard has become buggy (like on y old AT&T Tilt) and cracks are displeasing but not important to me.
No device is perfect, but I do not need to upgrade anytime soon. I am thinking of just buying a new keyboard ($40) and a new frame ($80) and making it like new again.
Nothing else (except the Droid) has me intrigued. When droid is available in US 3G I'll consider it, but until then I am keeping my X1.

I Sold myTouch HD...

I sold my Touch HD yesterday at midnight for about 500USD (converted from LVL), the phone is still with me cause I will install it and then give it away on weekend!
It isnt a year, for how long I own it, I got it at 21 December 2008 , it was my first Windows Mobile phone, and one of the greatest... there were good times and there were bad times... I sold my HD because I got bored of it, I need something with physical qwerty keyboard, thats one of the reasons, other reasons are - in this time with my HD I managed to get to know Windows Mobile as much as it gets boring, I know almost everything I need about windows mobile, but every day I learn something new.
And I've couldn't done it without the help of xda-developers - the number one site for me, and I think for a lot of other people!!
I wont leave xda-dev site, just because I sold my HD, Ill still be here, Ill give my opinion and try to help people, althought I wont have a windows mobile phone by my hand...
The phones I think I will be getting is Nokia E71 or Nokia E63 !!! but still I will be here at xda!!
Thanks for all the help you people gave me through this time!!

You can´t imagine how boring and annoying is Symbian. I owned Nokia N95 8GB, E71 and E75. E series are "premium high quality phones" from Nokia. And imagine what? There is a "memory full" problem on Nokia devices. For example, I couldn´t enter messages settings because I get that message. The buttons are bad quality. Keyboard is messed after some period of use (buttons are not correct )...
Symbian is not funny and it is very easy to learn it. You can´t use different ROMs, you can tweak it but poorly...
I would suggest you to try Android. Symbian will bring you back here much faster than you can expect...
Anyway, good luck and come back fast.

Good luck with your new device, though for some reason I think you may be back on XDA sooner than you thought with another wm or android device

well..i recently switched my e61i for a touch hd..and i must say, i don't regret it..
the only thing that i miss is the hareware keyboard..
if u r really planning to get a symbian device, be warned: symbian is far less customizeable than WM..and it's getting boring and annoying much faster

I can only agree
I owned N73 before HD and I must say I loved the phone.
But then I found out that I loved it because I didnt know how good other stuff is.
Symbian was really boring!!! Although threre were milion of games and apps.
Touch HD is the best device I have ever held in my hands.
But it is all about YOU!

I also think about that, but there isnt anything powerfull currently on the market with QWERTY (ok maybe motorola droid - but it aint avaiable in the site Im buying), I think Ill get a nice phone and stay with it untill something really powerfull comes out- maybe Nvidia TEGRA2 or something!

You know...we (as phone users) will really never be happy with our phones...
you decided you were done doing whatever you could to yours,
Dutty is done with his (and man has XXX site dropped in views since then),
even Fallen Spartan has stated that sooner or later he will choose another device (if worthy of his Spartan-ness)
As for me...I'm on the same boat, deciding to sell mine as well (insert shameless Marketplace plug here)...don't know what I'll replace it with in the mean time...but I think I've done all I can with this phone and it's time to move on....

Thats true -- and its always the replacement problem - currently looking at Nokia 5730 !! or maybe Ill use my old 5610

Nokia's are good value for money... they never seem to die

yup!!! just look at the price of 5730 and then compare it to e75 (equal specs, but e75 is more expensive) and I still have a ancient Nokia 6210 (which fell from the 4th floor on concrete and still works (only vibrator and infrared isnt working)

Bye, bye X2!

I got tired of my X2, of its software as well as hardware flaws, crappy camera, absent USB storage mode, green-tinted and too small screen, underpowered CPU etc. And I don't believe SE is able and even willing to fix all related problems, so I got rid of the phone.
As my main phone I'll still use old HTC Kaiser and as as secondary borrowed SE Satio (which can't be used as primary, because of crappy UI and the problem of sometimes resetting itself).
Maybe in future I'll buy an old X2 to play with it, because I still have a weak spot for WM for being possible to tweak it extensively

Best decision ever made.

looks like alot of people are jumping ship on this overpriced brick, and ill be one of them as soon as i can get my hands on an iPhone 4

I wish you luck guys!
I'm staying.

Well, the X2 has been a crappy downgrade for me as well after the Diamond. I guess atm I cant afford to purchase the HD2 else that'd be my first choice.
By some weird twist of fate (or maybe cos its just crap) the X2 is cheaper than the HD2, but one of the dumbest decisions I've ever made to go for it.

Im thinking very seriously to switch to the X10... the x2 its a very bad experience

there are only two ways that i will stay with the X2
1) SE pull there finger out and give us a phone that is fully functional or at least 90% functional
2) HardSPL comes around and either a functional winmo 6.5 rom or Android rom is created
i dont feel happy about putting the X2 on ebay for some other poor sole to put up with this expensive brick

Update

No more Updates for X2???
Anyone know when new update for X2 scheduled?

Not really, no one from SE announced yet...

So pity to x2 user. Damn... Can't really taste the true power of X2. I don't know what to do. I want to sell, but no one want to buy.
Oh, By The way, Is other Windows Mobile phone is better than X2? Or just the same?
Thanks

I understand HTC's HD2 phone, also a Windows mobile fon, is a lot better than the X2. You may check on it. Cheers.

Nice information. Thanks. oh... How do you think after using X2. Is it still any hope?

my opinion on the x2 is that it is a WinMo device. if there is something you don't like about it, change it. already i've put TF3d, over clocked it.
the stock R3XXX update was a huge improvement and slideview+ panels are brilliant.
plus 8mp camera and full keyboard does not hurt either, and because of the smaller screen the battery last longer than the hd2 and it fits easier in my pocket,
but if your looking for a new phone i would go with the hd2 just because it has attracted more people therefore there is more support for it. but its just based on preferences

Sony Ericsson has just abandonned the Xperia X2 and X1 phones (or all Windows Mobile devices).
In fact, honestly SE never really cared about these devices. The first X1 was a HTC development, solid in Software terms at the end but horrible at Hardware level. The X2 was the exactly opposite, great Hardware, awful Software.
But there's no more interest in this devce anymore.
Cheers.

Well, it's not really true.
Both phones got cruical updates, X2 is completely redesigned after last upgrade.
Officially SE didn't abandon anything.
However it is true they've made diastrous mistakes with X2
and pushed unfinished buggy firmwares, without any sign of improvements ATM.

i am SE mobile user for the past 6 years and wanted to always stick with SE device... but my X2 experience has changed my perception.... i will no more use SE devices... at the moment looking to get rid of my X2 and switch to iphone...

Em... I like SE phone.but this X2 make me crazy. My only hope is SE declare the next update for X2 and without anymore bugs. Of course SE should really try it first before launch to x2 user.
Nb : I really want to find and install hand writing recognition. As long as I know, PDA or PocketPC should have this feature.

I am not a fussy phone user.
If my phone could just alert me when messages are received consistently, if my phone would always unlock when i want it to, if the screen would not dim so quickly with no way to alter it, i would be pleased.
All of which the X2 is unable to fulfill. Colour me disgusted, SE.

I simply just can't understand why some people are still defending SE and the X2, saying that's only "few minor bugs".
The only reason that I still with this phone is that I cannot sell it, and the iPhone 4 hasn't arrived to my country yet.

The mistake is bigger because this is substantially a great phone, which could be on the first line of last batch of WM devices.
I'm using it and must say love it in most part.
However it has glitches, somehow I'm able to squeeze most of it. In many ways it's great.
But the truth is they never felt on their back angry customers breath.
I think they're whether too proud and rude,
or too old fashioned in their approach.
And they reach a success with X10, so you know, no reason to panic

If you go to settings Settings>System>Backlight and Power Management>Advanced you can change the settings.
I did this and it worked for a while. But then, sometimes, after 5 seconds it goes dark.
But after I make the change it stops doing the 5 second thing. . . for a while.
Yes a bug, it sucks, but there are ways to DEAL with it.
As for the unlock, yes I see what you are talking about. I keep pressing and nothing, nothing then all of a sudden, it slides!!!
Annoying to say the least.
Sony should make the device work out of the box. Unfortunately this is not the case. We either deal with it and come up with our own solutions or sell the X2. Too bad no wants to buy the X2 but then again I don't blame them, it is a buggy machine.

However...X2 is still not meet most user requirement. Some tweak and fix are not enough. Hope SE really care to make update for us. I want to change X2 to X10, but so pity, no one will buy my X2. Because of the bugs. I choosed the wrong phone.

All of us picked up the wrong phone. You're not alone.
Sadly, SE will not release another update. This device is absolutely dead for this company, same as X1.
Even, Sony Ericsson will not have a Windows Phone 7 device at launch. They're fully with Android only now.
Cheers and good luck with this piece of crap.

Erm. dude. I KNOW.
A solution isn't a solution when it doesn't work well. It is still a compromise. And dealing with it, is a massive compromise.
Its plain stupid that we users are compromising on our user experience on simple things. For a premium, top range phone no less.

I actually returned the phone to the seller on the basis that it does not offer functions as declared by the manufacturer, specifically "USB mass storage" mode. OK, it wasn't easy and I settled for somewhat less money that the phone costed me, but it was still more than the price of a used phone. But it all depends on local customs, laws and the will of seller.

Are you saying the X2 does not even have MassStorageUSB? Not even after MR2 update??? Wow!

Well actually not true.
Actually just after connecting this to PC and starting
WMDevice Center you can browse both sd card and internal memory.
In reverse X1 mass storage allows only sd card management.
To much *****ing is not sensible either.

any news about new rom from SE?

im using the latest generic_uk mr2 i thought they already fix the issue but i still encountered it..
1. sms notification is very low! even if i set it to max volume
2. the SD card issue still present, sd card suddenly wont show on device until i'd hard reset it ..
hope SE give an action for this..

Just use the reg settings listed in this forum to fix this sd card issue. It is a simple 'don't go to sleep' thing!
I rather hope they would fix this crappy bluetooth issue with that "new" Qualcomm Bluetooth Chip. Cannot use Voice Command or BlueAudio. Nothing so far helped and made the bluetooth sound go to the mono headset unless its IN a call. That sucks!

Sony Ericsson will not release a new update for the X2. This device is discontinnued.

They are currently focusing on developing their android phone... zzzzzz.... really gonna switch now

WTH?
then why did they release this phone.. are they crazy? lol.. i never get back to SE phones again after i sell it..

No new updates for X2?! Ok, Im done with SE forever.
Its a shame realy. They were my favourite cellphone company since T68i. Thats even 3 years before I got myself my first SE phone(T610).
I was waiting for X1 for more then a year (anounced february 2008, my mobile operator got it on march 2009, I got it on april 2009).
X1 still is my favourite phone of all time. But X2 makes me kick samo ass.
I just cant belive they dared to make so crappy successor to sach an amazing phone as X1.
When my K700i got stolen I used a nokia 1600 for several months. and 1600 is a better phone then X2. You hear that SE!!!!!!!! Shure it doesnt have a camera it hasnt got a qwerty but with nokia 1600 I knew what i have will work as it should (plus the battery lasted around 12 days ).
X2 being advertised as successor to X1, second WM SE phone, high end business phone. Let me tell you something almost 2 years old X1 is a better phone then X2, X2 is the worst phone ever made, even philips fisio 820 (not a good phone) was a better and more stable phone and X2. If a bussines man would be satisfied with X2 he is no bussines, he is dumb ass individual who cant tell a phone from a pile of $h!t. There is one thing i havent seen better on any phone ever. its the calling program. Its as usefull as it can get. But what its all for if sometimes calles get dropped, sometimes the caller cant hear me or I cant hear him... If at east the calls were perfect...
God Damned they berried them selfs.
Its hard to se what SE has done. I was such a fan i feel bad abouth them making such a shamefull phone.
Burn in hell SE.

Just like what I imagine. No update till now. May be SE confuse how to upgrade more with this phone. hohohoh.... May be they have given the best shot to this phone. And last word is : "SORRY".
But from deep in my heart, I really disappointed with X2, I feel being cheated.
After I change to X10, many things is different. in many aspects, X10 is different.
My opinion, X10 is my phone. just meet my expecting.
considering to the: design, responsiveness, camera, connection, features, display, etc.
Nb: Friends, try consider X10. You will not disapoint.
and... don't ever try to look at ASPEN. The same **** like X2

Where did you heard it?
MR3 is very neccessity.

I agree to all of you here. I've just sold my X2, back to use X1.
Because I like the X2 interface so I flashed my X1 with Customized ROM that is ported from X2. And one thing that make me sick that SE can't fix this ROM for X2 while that cooker guy can make a fix on X1. Doesn't SE have any expert in WinMo so the X2 ROM is just a big disaster? What pathetic story of X2.
Then I replaced my X2 to Aspen. OMG! It is cursed... SE with WinMo is really sucked. Never want to try WP7 with SE anymore, it should be another trash.
