Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 - user opinions and reviews

Another Sony's desasterous failure...... Just like Playstation 3. Sure, it makes profit, sure it's a good product. But I'm sure Sony will only accept nothing but th BEST.They've let themselves down again!
BUT I love T303!!! That's a WINNER

x1 is a great phone.but it's not the game changer.i... moreWe need to wait for the new browser from Microsoft which will be IE6 along with the new Flash from Java. Anyone who jumped the gun and bought this device without these 2 features is sort of screwed.
They should be in mobile phones and smartphones within the next 2 months. Once they have these 2 features web browsing will be much better and on par with the Safari browser that comes in the Iphone.

SE X1 users,plz don't make it personal.
x1 is a great phone.but it's not the game changer.it's not even closer to that.se promised to beat iphone.but can it?it got 3.0 inchs lcd,3.2 mp camera!but look at '06 phones 5mp(N95),8gb(N91),3.5 inchs lcd(iphone).it's 145grms.costs $885 in dolls.omnia have much better options with slick price and weight.what i hate of x1 bcoz is not a 1 hand operateable phone.qwarety & browsing experience was not GREAT.card slot was underneath the cover.it takes more to be a game changer.
hope next x would be a all in one game changer.

look on vodafone forums and all you see is users complaining. It's not SE to blame,it's vodafone's tampering

first of all Congrats buddy.. now i am really waiting for u to share ur experience :) Thanx RaXa,,firstly i am glad i got black,,screen is fantastic just watching quantum of solace trailer and at beggining when M.G.M. lion comes up the gold against black is vivid,pin sharp and mega colourful..TRied an mp3 and s/e own player is better than wm player as its crisper..Just setting things up and as for speed it took wm player i first tried 20 minutes to update library with 2,500 files on a 16gb card..
Fisrt woes,,no graphic equaliser out of box on s/e player,,and qwerty is brilliant to type with with not one typo on practice runs but it can just bleach out so you cannot see keys at certain angles,,you have to tilt it a bit it in light to see keys..It reminds me of my sharp gx30 where the keys just looked silver in bright light..
Its really comfortable in both landscape and portrait to hold and operate..I have not done that much yet their so much customisation and dont know how to operate fish or know what multi colour leds mean yet..Yahoo go wont load its not available yet so using yahoo normal for emails..
Cam seems fine there is lots of settings and vga video can judder slightly on fast panning but when played back it looks fine enuf..Have been on s/e downloads for panels and got spb shell or something as a free download plus theirs free windows live panel and facebook panel...Got a thickhead now after nearly 5 hrs solid playing about on full blast backlight and its on half battery now,,my n82 would have been dead at about 4hrs 10 minutes using that loading..I am going now and was going to put it on charge overnight but cannot till its dead and to tired to spend another 5-6 hrs solid with it..plus dont know how battery meter works,,it may be a while off yet before second charge.bye

I have gone through all the reviews, and one thing that I have noticed is that people keep on complaining about the software, either too slow, or locks up, or something with the wifi.
But one thing that should be considered is that the firmware on WM phones are very dynamic and there are already a couple of software updates available for the X1 that addresses those issues. Even cracked touch pro firmware that runs on the X1. All can be found on XDA-developers website.
First of all you have to decide if you want a QWERTY phone with a touch screen, or a pocket pc that you can install millions of apps on. If you all you want is a QWERTY phone the DONT get the X1.
If you are a little bit technical and dont mind installing patches or hacked firmware. Then the X1 will be an awesome pocket pc.

Anonymous, 22 Nov 2008People who write about color @ 65k don't know much about technology, see the 800 x 480 pixels ... moreI am very happy for you that you are totally satisfied with your X1 and its 65K color etc.
But, what you need to understand/consider that some of us just unable to really enjoy all that great resolution when the phone locks-up, and/or drops calls.
You may got a (the) perfect one. Enjoy it!

People who write about color @ 65k don't know much about technology, see the 800 x 480 pixels high resolution screen is more than twice that of iphone's 320 x 480 pixels screen and FIVE times better than Nokia's 240 x 320 16M color screen.

Enjoy your phone. You are the one who keep coming after me - I guess you were told - instead of enjoying your X1 if you have any.
There are several people left their opinions here without any of my respond.
The topic here is the X1 and you making it personal.
You express hatred, you putting label on me, you accuse of ... and you are the one ....
I have written it several times:
I hope the next X (X2) Hikaru will be a great phone.
I wish it will be the best phone on the market.
Unfortunately, the X1 is not up to my standards. It may be good for many people, but certainly not for all. Many, many people got disappointed - see some of posts in the last few weeks - and many many had returned the unit.
So the bottom line is that ŽanytimeŽ etc. just false statement from you, and you just try to get me upset. But you are, who ever you are just not in the position to do that what ever you do :))))))))
There are dozens of messages here saying how great the phone - go try to get a fight with them :))))
Again, if you have (anybody) an X1 and you like it, power to you, enjoy it. Buy another, buy 5 of them and give it away for Christmas, Hanukkah etc.
That is fine with me, I am happy for you!
:)))))

I DID state that whenever somebody posted a link to a review, you responded that it was a child, or a business graduate or whatever. Now, I've seen at least 3 occasions in the last few days where you've responded with that. Maybe it was all to the same review, maybe not. But I never said otherwise.
And how long did you spend with the Xperia before you decided to return it? Did you install any of the tweaks?
Bottom line seems to be this - you're a hater. Anytime someone says something positive about the phone you're gonna disagree. You seem to be on a one man (or woman, I dunno) crusade to destroy the phone's reputation, good or otherwise. If you don't like the Xperia, can't you just be happy with the phone you DO have, and leave those of us who DO like the Xperia to our own devices...?
