I own the SE X1 n P1i... for me, the X1 is a powerful phone, but i have to admit sometimes it's to slow to response the click on the touchscreen... but overall i'm satisfied with this..
WinMo & Symbian? next time Android maybe on SE?...
cheers

Aleks, 22 Apr 2009Hello boys/girls sry for my BAD english but wish get you advice i wish change my n82 with one ... moreI like SE X1 and my current phone is SE P910i but, I know that HTC Touch HD is better than SE X1.
Again, I am a fan of SE phones.
Even if HTC Touch HD is better, I will take the X1.

this phone is just a beautiful junk.sound volume is too low.there is only one sound output in left side of phone that often is covered with your hand so you will just hear some noise.on screen keyboard keys are too little in order to be pressed by fingers easily.camera quality is bad.images volume don't exceed 350 kb.camera button heavy push for activating camera.It is too slow.message management is not good.it's display quality has good resolution but just support 65k colors and it is not good.when the phone ring often you won't hear the ring and vibration is not as good as it could be.I can say it is toooooooooooooooooooooooo weak in multimedia abilities and will disappoint you surly.it is just a beautiful phone with good specification just in texts not in practice.I strongly recommand don't buy.it don't worth for these prices.

One day with X1 is just about enough :)))
And the guy who wants to get it in June :)))
do you mean 2009??? or you planning ahead :))))
X1 is already outdated!
planning to get it ahead is not to smart :)))
WinMo is horrible. +all the bugs, reception problems etc. just make this phone a lemon.

Hmm... how many of you actually own or have used the X1 for an extended period of time? Right. Talk is cheap. Everybody can debate over paper specs and parrot other reviews...
Say you need a real keyboard, not a virtual one. How many phones do you have left? Now let's say you've seen an iPhone and you want one of those bloody big screens, so that means you need a slider. Now how big is your list? A real short list. So like it or not, if you want a "smartphone" with a real keyboard and a "real" screen, right now there are not a lot of choices.
I have to say, I'm not in love with my X1 (yet? ;-) which is unusual for a new phone that I get. Most of the complaints are due to the horrible Windows Mobile. Mind you, it's not just the X1, 2 friends have HTC Touch and Touch Pro and they're not that amused with their phones either.
The X1 panels are actually a good idea and the SE panel is a damn good try once you get it customized. I'm not sure why people are so enthused about the SpB shell. If you have used an iPhone, the SpB shell is not as efficient. You want ALL the icons & info you use regularly on one page, no clicking through. The SE panel enables you to do this (customize!).
I'm happier with the real keyboard than the iPhone virtual keyboard. But I also tried the virtual X1 keyboard. It is NOT as good as the iPhone, but given the buttons are about 1/4 the size of the iPhone, I am very surprised at its accuracy. If you just "trust" it and hit the keys, I seem to get a similar hit rate as the iPhone. But with a real keyboard, no reason to use this much...
The Opera browser it comes with works well, similar to Safari, lacking only the "pinch" zoom. Drag scrolling works okay, the double-click default zoom is handy and so is the volume/zoom. I'm happy with that.
Surprisingly, I don't find the lack of accelerometer that annoying. The only time I need to rotate the screen (typing or movies), it rotates automatically anyways. Though I don't understand why they didn't include one, those things are very small and very cheap.
Lack of Flash (i.e. Youtube) is a bummer, but one thing iPhone can't match: Live streaming TV channels from Japan (via KeyHoleTV).
After more extensive usage, I'm discovering the lag when launching apps/activities from the SE panel isn't so bad 95% of the time. In fact, it's on par with iPhone. The other 5% of the time though....
Imagine this phone with Symbian. Windows Mobile sucks so much.
