Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 review: A new experience

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 review: A new experience - read the full textThere’s a lot to fall for in Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Possibly the hottest looker of a PocketPC is also heavy on skill. Heavy enough to not just scratch out a living as a one-hit-wonder but aim for the WinMo top. The extra solid metal looks, gorgeous screen and the right pinch of novelty called XPERIA panels look to us as good enough reasons for the X1 to be hyped and romanticized...

Hi looking at the choice of colours for this phone, which one looks best - complete silver, silver/black or complete black?

GSM Arena have opted for Black but im not sure if thats silver/black or complete Black. Whats your advice on that?

touchflo3d replaces the today screen, and on my X1 the load time went from 45 seconds to 7 minutes on startup

All you people don't no where you are talking about
this is the best smartphone there is!!!

first of all the panels are great
if they are to slow for you then update the phone and they will be faster
then there is the quality of the screen
it just is superb there is no better one(at the moment)
and for the people who don't know IT HAS AN GRAPHIC CARD of 128mb from ATI
for the games that are comming to windows mobile
not youre iphone, omnia, touch pro of even your touch hd can compete with that
and another thing
you want touch flo 3d? it can be one of your panels
you can even let another os be one of your panels
so don't criticise if you don't got your facts straight

The day I received my X1, I was disappointed. It was nothing more than my old Sprint PPC-6700 with a prettier screen and smaller form factor. I was shocked to see how tiny the whole thing was. The "xperience" I had was HORRIBLE. Panels? What a waste of time. Touch screen? Barely. That night (after playing with it all day) I plugged it up to charge, I woke up and the screen was jacked. The contrast was out of wack. I returned it for a full refund. $799 is NOT worth it for this phone. I quickly bought a Touch HD, and couldn't be happier. In order to make a WM phone touch screen you really have to put a front end on it. HTC does a great job with TouchFlo.

Just bought the phone yesterday for $700. honest truth, I research a lot of phones, in terms of looks and features it wins hands down, however it comes with some small flaws. there is a lagging panal screen that freezes for 4 seconds before it loads up all the time. (not the end of the world). Has one speaker on one side so if you happen to hold over it you cant hear anything (sucks but not the end of the world again), the back of the phone gets hot because its metal (wear gloves) and thats it so far.

Got this phone for several weeks now, and I can only say: It's sony-ericsson, it's, again, a good phone.
And that's certainly an understatement.
I always owned SE's, but my last phone was an omnia. God damned, in comparison with the xperia, the omnia is no good, and again, that's an understatement.
I frequently use the phone, (call up to 3 hours a day, send 20 text messages, 15 mails, ...) and the battery holds up to 3 days.
People who are saying their battery isn't doing well, got 2 options: or your phone is broken, return it - or you keep losing track on time.
Thumbable interface really isn't that bad.
Fast response on touchscreen. And the occasional crash of windows. (but who said SE can help that?)
