wow strong sausage fest
Well depends on what country you are in. I live in Canada and so there will be almost no females with X1s because it hasn't come out over here yet. I did see a girl carrying an X1 at my university though
wooo interesting post. I can't imagine a woman using X1 cos I haven't seen it... would be great... and more, if she's a flashoholic
HAHAHAHA!!!! AMAZING POLL
Love the results! Clearly a manly cell
dont thinks there are many girls using x1 in france xD
I actually saw a 30'ish year old woman using one a couple of weeks ago
10:1 ratio
the other thing is how many females actually visit xda as well?
that could be another reason why the ratio is so high
Actually this is more about the people with a X1 on this forums. I think some girls have this phone, but are not looking for any panels or something. of course some are, but most of them you know.
Post this in the Diamond section, I wonder the ratio.

I agree. Women are not interested that much in sprucing up gadgets. Their philosophy is that old one: if it aint broke, dont fix it!
At least my galfriend thinks so and you should have seen the look she gave me the day my X1 was delivered
A really cute girl with girlfriends sat next to me in the train, also using a silver X1! It was weird, because I hadn't seen many people with X1's before anywhere. At most 3 sightings since February. Gotta say though, I highly doubt she ever visited XDA or customised her X1.
Apparently its a pretty phone (according to my sister) so some girls will have it, but imo there are much more "fashionable" phones a girl might get like an iphone. I've never seen a girl with a x1, but my little sister wanted one.
Either way the poll says more about the demographic of the forum than the owners of the phone
suspect that the same % would show if it was just
poll: Female and male in this forum
:/
What if my girl friend owns it, but I am the one who browse this forum and customize it for her?!
She totally loves the phone's outlook; she loves it more when I customize it. Thanks xda-dev!!!
I think this poll more shows that the XDA mainly is visited by males, more than that virtually no women purchase the Xperia X1. However, that is probably true as well
My cousin owns it, too. I doubt that she will ever do anything to it.
Have you guys ever considered the fact that most women don't spent time browsing the web for TF3D, Tweaks etc.?????
Nice thread, but I don't think this thread really show us the real facts
http://revision3.com/diggnation/episodes
Flash wars...first 5-10 minutes or so.
Just want to say love Diggnation and Im a big fan of Kevin Rose.
Been watching him since TechTV days and ((back then more than now)) he really seems to know his stuff. Somewhere along the way he reaaaallly became a hardcore Apple fanboy. Which is fine , he admits it. But his breakdown of why he didnt like Android/Incredible was just mind boggling.
My initial reaction was WTF ? Pretty much the complete opposite reaction Leo Laporte had with his Nexus One.
((I bring Leo up because they came up together and have and still do work together)).
When Leos gone into his dislikes of Android..I get it. Hes right.
But Roses were just mind boggling.
Things like cant do anything ? Lack of Apps ? complaining about mult-tasking , task manager , battery drain , interface etc.
Than him bashing Flash ((which thankfully adam shutdown with his "it works fine on PC")) was just kinda clueless to me.
Your thoughts ?
http://www.reddit.com
ya it angered me..like the scrolling the cursor through the text part where he kept tapping the phone like an idiot..the incredible has an optical trackpad to easily scroll through the words
holy **** he sounds like an idiot... cant figure out how to turn stuff off on android? look what apple has done to people! geez these guys are thick...
Kevin Rose is a known idiot. I thought everyone knows that.
wow i've never seen this podcast, but that was just painful to watch, i mean stupidity goes a long way with this guy, listening to his retarded rant, hopefully he returns the incredible, and gets another iphone, maybe some other user will give a good use for the incredible :]
I used to like him. God what a dumbass Apple sheep. Apple is the dumbing of America!

Wait, wait. People here are surprised that two douchnozzles on a couch in San Francisco might have spicy hot boners for Apple?
Oh, man. Stop the presses.
Watching this video excrement both confused and enraged me to the point of wanting to take the skinny one and use him as a blunt object with which to beat the fat "I'm so web 2.0 I don't even comb my hair" one to death.
This video is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the direction the internet, and our world, is headed.
Two douchballoons sitting on a couch, gasbagging about what they like and don't like about the accomplishments of others. Man I'm glad I wasted 5 minutes of my life on that. Now I can remember to never, ever visit Digg again in retribution.
Funny that he runs practically exclusively on Apple considering Macs lack a lot of things a PC will do for you.
At least he likes the camera lol
I stopped watching/listening to Kevin shortly after he went to Rev3. When Patrick Leo and Kevin ran Screensavers it was fun and informative to watch.. RIP Screensavers. But now Even Tekzilla is more about bringing in the cash and showing high end devices and not enough geek gadgets and stuff. I could hang with Patrick on DL.TV but when he left there and joined the Rev3 gang he lost it. Every so often I'll tune into Rev3 and checkout a few vids, but for the most part I really don't enjoy it anymore, especially Kevin.
that was indeed tough to watch. I wanted to scream at him throughout the conversation.
The one thing I agreed with was the way you select a spot in a paragraph and copy and paste, its definitely stupid.
It was really tough to watch someone with generally legitimate credentials (i never heard of him but i did some googling and whether we like it or not there a lot of people who dig the guy) to describe and complain about something he doesnt fully understand, for example:
He was complaining about, "I shouldnt need a task manager because there shouldnt be **** running in the background that i dont want running in the background". It sounds like a logical argument but isnt it true that those apps arent actually running, theyre just taking up some ram to get back to them quickly? Or are they really using battery? Because that too would be stupid.
Well he's an Apple fanboy what do you expect?
People defend stuff they own/like. It's as simple as that.
You go to an iPhone forum and they would be agreeing with him while here they get bashed on because it's the Nexus One forum =) It's not like anybody is wrong, it's just down to personal preferences. This stuff happens all the time, you start making a thread about which car is better, bmw or audi, and the argument goes on and on. Both are great cars, and the iphone os and android are great smartphone os.
Kevin Rose is a brain dead out of touch moron who has no business hosting a show about technology.
i want my time back from watching that crap...

Any of you folks have the 3DS? I know it's a lil offtopic. But, I was previously going to get a iPod Touch 16GB new from B.B and saw the new 3DS.
Just wondering if anyone has one and know's how good they really are from first hand experience..
I played with it for a few minutes but have to say I was impressed. If it wasn't for the big price tag I'd swap my DS immediately! Especially with Zelda "Ocarina of Time 3D" coming up. Maybe wifey will make it my b'day present

hehe ya, I'm just curious how to well the browser and such works. My DSi browser is terribly slow
The 3ds is an amazing device. Browsing speeds could be improved, but I don't think its really marketed as a true media device...yet. Maybe a software update could help.
I thought about getting one, but with all the other gadgets I have, I can't justify such a large purchase on something that doesn't "do" anything for me.
Its been quite a ride with the Xperia play, but unfortunately it hasn't been that good.
When i first got it i packed it to the brim with games. All gameloft ones like backstab, NOVA... stuff like that. Of course i was the first one to have one in my college, *****es love xperias
After a while i noticed that the buttons and the slider werent as strong as they used to be, i disregarded it but it became worse and worse. I take amazing care of all my phones, i can't really remember a time when i've dropped one! And hell, i wouldnt even put my phone on a flat surface because i worry about grit underneath it xD
Eventually we got root, this bought life back into the phone but as i am simlocked, no unlocked bootloader for me... Also we didn't get that many "good" games. Apart from gameloft ones and some EA ones... However i mostly played LSD and some other ps1 titles on fpse
At about this point me (and im sure a few of you) realised that this phone is going... nowhere. Its not quite the "Playstation phone" i thought it would be.
So now... its going. Im going to go back to my motorola defy and stay there for a while.

wow dude, have some patience. Good games don't comes right away. Plus, take a look at the n64oid. I've spent some good ass quality time playing Zelda OOT. I've much faith in this phone and i think we'll see some real good games this year. But sorry if you don't like it.. it's your loss
I was very excited about minecraft coming out for it but i don't know...
As for old skool games, I completed pokemon gold and yellow on it (and super mario 6 gold coins 2)

well, i'm not trying to make you keep the phone. If you wanna buy another one, do it
Yeah man, go ahead and change your phone, the Xperia PLAY is my first smartphone...
and I got it almost for free on a cheap 18 month plan.
So far it has not let me down on anything... and I currently more games than I can actually play, and with the emulators currently available is almost a non-limited game source.
However if I decide to change my phone, the only one available in Mexico better than the PLAY is the Galaxy S2... but no way, I will fit a humoungous phone like that on my pocket, also the price is a big step up, and I will surely miss my dedicated game pad... So there's no way out for me just yet (not that Im looking for one)
Currently I feel like the slider part is a bit more loose and the X button is more difficult to press on time (is like it is a little bit more "pressed" than the other ones), but no BIG issue just yet... I still have 10 months under warranty, so I can change it later for a new one and sell it $$$.
Im concerned too about where is this phone going, but I will gladly wait, because there is no better option for me right now.
We will miss a you as a PLAY user, because there more of us in here the more support we can get from DEVs and SE.
What does the defy offer that you don't get from play? You gotta be kidding.. Going with Motorola's lmao

I think someone expects too much. Honestly, I've found this phone to have lots of life in it, and it's not exactly going nowhere, what with all the development going on by people on this very website. Yeah locked bootloader sucks and yeah it would be nice to have a fix released today but to just give up after a couple months because you aren't getting exactly what you want...well, maybe you need to get out more, see how life really works.
Suck it up muffin, or leave in silence.
slider and button problems already? jeez what have you been doing to your phone? I bought mine shortly after it was released and it's still good as new.
and yes, games don't come overnight. patience is indeed a virtue. also, your phone choices are a mismatch.. Xperia Play against Defy? OMFG it's ridiculous
my missus has the defy and the only reason she has it is because she is a dozy bint who treats a phone like makeup, pop it in the bag and sling it on the floor when it's needed.
that's why it's the perfect phone for her but other than that it's ****e.
it's your choice what you do, not sure why you feel the need to let us all know though, not sure anybody cares?
It'd be nice of you to fulfill your bounty pledge
I am glad the people who have no patience are leaving and getting **** phones in comparison.
Like people who go from Android to iphone are so fail.
Less whinging here if all the the complainers change phones because they couldn't wait. Some phones don't ever get updates
I think some people are expecting to much. This is a phone after all not a dedicated gaming device.
The Xplay plays all the same games any other phone you get will do but other phones dont have gaming controls this is what it comes down to (for me anyways ). I cannot see how you would want to trade playing emulators + fpse with real controls for crappier gaming...
Even without root and an unlocked bootloader this phone still has alot going for it, no other phone can offer the gaming experience this phone offers and it does the job as a phone well in my opinion.
You may just be unluckly but i hammer my gaming pad and slider and i have even droped it once and its still seems fine.
You have warranty/insurance right? Well whats the problem if it breaks get it replaced...
yh this phones annoys the f out of me but its still under devolpment u wont find a better game phone becouse proper games aint been made yet

Why is everyone trying to flame replicant for trying to open a discussion on the pro's and con's of the device, and the reason why he has decided to sell it??
This is the whole point of xda, people share there experiences and ideas, Have you ever though that a thread like this where people express there feelings about a device is usefull for people who are undecided about weather to buy the play or not.
How are people ment to make an informed decision when the first time someone says something bad about your precious device, all you fanboys jump on them like a group of thugs ... pathetic
your a **** shutup

Classic
Anyways i hear you androhero, hate the flaming when people is all but praise and good saying about a device wether it's here or another forum
The problem with posting this kind of opinion in this forum is that, if it's wrong, you're not giving any valuable information, and if you're right, you're just telling people they're a bunch.of losers for.buying this phone.
This thread belongs in a general Android thread where it can actually be read by.people considering the Play. In here, you can assume that everyone has the phone and you risk this kind of response.
Hi I hope I'm not braking any rules by posting here. if I am I'm sorry. If I'm not then I have a question. how hard would it be to develop some thing similar to the software on the Iphone. the software I am talking about of course is the addition to the iphone 4s known as siri. now before anyone starts to hate on me. I swear I do not have iphone envy. in fact I have been thinking about this long before the iphone 4 announced this new addition to their phone. I was even talking to some people in my family about it a couple of weeks before the new iphone was announced. my inspiration and desire to see this happen came from a movie in the early part of this decade I saw from director steven spielberg called A.I in the movie technology was so advanced that even toys where able to communicate with people. keep in mind when I first saw this movie the closest thing to a smart phone was windows phone. the iphone nor android existed. then two months ago I was bored at home with nothing to do. so i decided to watch a movie. and again I had chosen A.I cause I hadn't seen it in so long. and realized since I had last seen the movie technology has greatly evolved. and while I am realizing this my cousin is talking to his phone using the voice search. which in turn looks up what he is asking for. and I thought phones can already hear us and respond. why not talk back to us. that fact that stupid apple beat android to punch really pisses me off. I'm sure they have some kind of patents on this technology. so I doubt google will be working on anything like this for us any time soon. so why not the people of xda create it. im sure if every android dev on this site worked together and everyone across all the different platforms donated we could make it happen. in fact we could make our A.I better then iphones. what do yall think?
I haven't used an iPhone in a long time, so I'm not familiar with the technology offered by Siri. However, our phones are completely capable of talking to us already. For example, a simple tasker profile can have your texts read to you when you arrive. Navigation offers spoken turn by turn directions (often with horrible pronuncation though... it pronounces a street near me, spelled Wittelsbach as "Wittels b***h"). I have a talking clock tasker profile set up on my phone. I'd love to see someone push this technology further though.
yeah
well this new A.I is exclusive to the newest iphone being released. its pretty awesome. from the videos I've seen on it. if someone text you. the phone says, you just received a text from janet saying, hi jon are still going out for dinner tonight? do wish to respond to her text. and the guy says yeah or something like that. tell her I will pick her up at 8. and the phone again talks back to him saying sending message to janet. another example is if you say I'm hungry. the phone will ask you if you would like it to look up restaurants close by. I'm telling you this thing is insane! as much as I hate the iphone. I've been wanting something like this for the longest time. I am like most people of this site. a really big tech junky. tech is all think about lol
Me too. Well, tech and woman. Haha... That sounds pretty nice. I'd love to see something like that available for all Android phones. Perhaps sometime in the future we'll see something like this... a gift from the developers we all know and love.
