No problems wt so ever. Also battery life is really good even after 1.5 months.
And using it is not hard at all. This was my 1st windows mobile and i had my share of confusions as well but after getting it and snooping around the web a bit I am learning to use it to its potential.
I can guarantee that you, as a new user, will love upgrading and finding out new things abt X1 everyday.
I m still discovering it myself :P

Macky - To be able to download all available panels, your SIM card should be internet-capable as you can download all panels straight from XPERIA X1. Just use the Internet Explorer or Opera Browser, you will go directly to sonyericsson website and from there you can install the rest of the panels.

The good news is that you can set up the Xperia to receive emails just like a Blackberry would.

I just bought X1 for a week, found out that its dpad area is prone to peel off on the edges. My suggestion is please do not exert to much fingernail pressure when working on the dpad area. Making the built quality questionable for a premium pda

avinersan, 27 Jan 2009more mpx on a small sensor is actually a bad thing ! - the more dense the pixels are on a give... moreHi avinersan, you have added another dimension to my post - the size of the image sensor.
I was trying to say the same thing - that a 3.2mp is not necessarily poor (unlike what most people think). I use my phone's camera only if I dont have access to my DSLR or my compact, and mostly set at 2mp 'coz as you said, higher mpixel pics will take longer to process in the phone (camera).
What people should remember is that however good a phone's camera is, it is not a replacement for a regular digital camera. In fact it can not compete even with a low-end ultracompact camera.
But on the other hand, when you dont have any other camera on you, the phone's camera is the best one. It's better to take a not-so-good picture of an important/memorable moment, than to not take a picture at all.
So people, please stop complaining about the X1's camera only because it's a 3.2mp.

more mpx on a small sensor is actually a bad thing ! - the more dense the pixels are on a given surface (and in this case as with all mobiles it's a very small surface) the less light is captured (for example a compact camera with 6mpx lets in less than half the light in comparison to a full frame 5d at the exact same settings)
and 8 mpx on a phone isn't a real resolution (if you go to 100% you get a lot of blur and there isn't fine detail at all (if you interpolate a photo you gate the same results almost ))
there are cameras that obtain in 2mpx a lot more detail than a 12 mpx compact camera (not even phone)
ps:a 24 inch 1920x1200 monitor may display only about 2mpx (1920x1200=2.304.000 pixels (2.3 mpx) it only maters if that's a good quality 2mpx photo or not (of course, for cropping ,editing you need more... but who does that with a mobile phone ?)
so more mpx = more processing = less light,lower quality (not even at base iso are this cameras capable of offering 8mpx becouse of the low quality sensors (by the way i have lenses that are worth thousand of $ and don't offer a lot more than 12mpx so do the math ( canon 70-200 f2.8 is for example)

The X1 comes with 3 months trial of Wayfinder. But you could go for TomTom too. I have TT6 installed on my X1 and it works great. The GPS gets a lock fairly quickly too.

Is there any application available similar to Nokia Maps i.e. Guided Navigational System - which can be installed on SE Xperia X1? Any help shall be highly appreciated.
Actually am an old SE user, but inbetween switched from P910i to Nokia and just got back to SE again - google maps doesn't help much in guided navigational system - something must be there!

coolinbysound, 26 Jan 2009it can´t be such a good display with only 65k colors... i even dare to say that it sucksI bought it after all the research i did....after all i had to spent big bucks. I believe X1 is the best / most good looking phone in the market....no doubt.

I agree with Chris. I bought X1 last week and it's been an eye candy.
Very attractive phone for those who are into big phones. I THINK IT IS THE MOST GOOD LOOKING PHONE IN THE MARKET

Sony proved again its supremacy. X1 is superior combination of Apple Iphone and Nokia E90.
Comparing to all other phones X1 has class and a very proudful experience to own it.

Anonymous, 27 Jan 2009why didnt they put a decent camera in this one! could have been perfect, omnia came out with 5... moreSo you think 5mp or 8mp camera would have been better than the 3.2mp camera? If you had 8mp on this, would you shoot your pictures at that resolution? Would you see a difference between two similar pictures taken, one at 2mp and one at 8mp - on your computer/phone screen or when printed on 6x4? If you are not sure, read my post on 22Jan2009. For your ease, search for "24mp" on this forum and you should find it straight away.
People like you who say the camera on X1 is not good because it's only 3.2mp are really very naïve - you have no clue what makes a camera better than others. Like millions of other people you think a higher megapixel rating is all it takes. Sorry to say, but you are SO WRONG!
I have an X1 and quite happy with the phone overall. The camera on X1 is not great, I agree with you on that. But not because it's only a 3.2mp. It's because it doesn't have a xenon flash, it's a bit slow to focus esp in low light, and there's a lot of shutter lag (Again, if you don’t understand that term "shutter lag", search it on google). My K800i (a couple of years back) had a decent camera (for a mobile phone), and my wife's current Nokia N82 is great (not just 'coz it's 5mp).
I just hope people read through previous posts and get a little more photography literate before posting comments like "X1's camera is poor because it's only 3.2mp".
