Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 - user opinions and reviews
- PB
- 2G8
Had a look at the Blackberry Bold 9000 in Australia today, it was very big, bigger than I thought actually. But the specs of the X1 are still fantastic, and I am not swayed away from it.
I'm in no rush as my SE K850 is still powering, but the X1 will definitely be my 2009 toy!
Some interesting comments re that geo-tagging stuff mentioned previously.

Is it possible that SE will change the final specifications of the X1 for final production?
I only ask because come offical sales date, the phone will be almost a year old since announcement, and argueably outdated already.

I would like to know if xperia contains geotagging,,was out yesterday with n82 giving it a go,,anyways i ask because this weeks click on bbc news 24 is on about a new concept (even tho everything thats been invented happened years ago but they are always new things)it involves not taking one geotagged snap and applying it to google earth but taking lots of snaps..These snaps should include a full detailed view of the whole 360 degree angle not just panoramic view,,these are fed into complex powerful computer software app and it comes out with something gsmarena do with their 360 degree view of the mobile..When you click onto the photo you dont just get a single snap you can look around you 360 degrees...
Altho this is nothing new really its going to be because camphones are now sporting geotagging so things are allowed to be placed at their origin so someone in Delhi,,Viena etc can go to google and see the statue (in this case click used the statue of eros in London)and see it as if they are stood their and walking around the statue ..I have around 140 printed snaps now at 6x4 inch and have printed hundreds more but you have to experiment a bit with your printer as often they come out darker than wants on your moniter..
So i have said this as its known most people never print out their snaps,,most stay on the mobile or computer screen but the best way to tell how good a photo is is to print it out,,yet your arguing about 8-10 megapixels whereas a good 3mp camphone is still going to win,,its in the proof that you cannot get enuf light onto the tiny 8mp sensor so up goes the noise and samsung had a 10 mp camphone out 3 yrs ago but its not taken off tho ????????

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970why are you talking about other people like this?Why don`t you show some respect?perhaps the others had n`t show you much of it>>?
It`s a shame to see guys like you in this century->you still care about race!?
I`m not gonna report your Post cuz it`s a good(some how funny) example to show people who they are living with in the same planet!
Peace
and here comes the useful part>how long should we stay?Do you guys think that SE gonna make some changes in the specification?perhaps a better internal memory capacity!i don`t care about the camera!(MAY BE NO CAMERA LIKE MY W950i)>lower price?

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970All you can do is ask s/e africa or find a local dealer,,its due out end of october so it should be available worldwide before xmas but still its subject to delay etc..
Also by time it gets shipped and left a month to see if any major bugs then price to drop it will be next year before a lot stump up for it sim free or take out a new contract,, most sales will be mobile addicts(me)contracts up for renewal,,(me again)s/e addicts,,windows mobile addicts,,etc
The xperia is in high demand from website forums to all uk mags meaning the price will stay high like n95 did and n958gb and they are still holding their price...

i'll make a decision :)i am happy at the 3mp limit and xperia brings all of its best bits together i.e. battery,,walkman and cybershot etc and is the best for my needs at moment..thats not to say for example people who will need no multimadia and the blackberry is a godsend for them...The trouble is even at this point other models are coming out all the time but as yet none are excelling above the xperia in some of my things i use and thats video record ,music, battery life and flexible o/s..
I have never had a seperate mp3 player or digital camcorder or voice recorder or i-pod its all ever come from my mobile friend.All my digital media has been done on a mobile using better apps to enhance the mobile via an o/s..so in a way these are great tools but i thgink a lot just want the biggest mega pixels and wi-fi,, personnelly i use gprs or 3g as connection as its £5 an hour in wi-fi hotspot plus it takes all your battery and for an extra £5 on tarriff get 5oomb to use..
I think if your paying out a lot of money for these devices you may as well use its features but some may just like the design and buy xperia just to talk and txt which is fine but it does seems a waste..

Overall i say INNOV8, but its symbian
I'd say Xperia ... WM is more versatile than symbian

I will wait 1.5 months from now to see if X1 is released, or else I will be buying HTC Touch Pro. Only the screen size differs in touch pro i guess. I ve waitited enough for X1.
If X1 to be viable, SE at least should fix a 5 MP camera. which is more or less the standard these days.
