But, nonetheless
GPS chip in your mobile can also be called as GPS recievers i.e. they recieve signals from 24 satellite that orbit our planet.
To cut a long story short consider this, to interpret the signals the GPS reciever (on the whole i.e. hardware and software) need to know the location of each satellite. This data is called as " GPS ephemeris ". The reciever (in this case your phone) is capable of downloading "GPS ephemeris" directly from the satellite without any intervention from any network : GPRS, 2G, 3G, WiFi or even the network on which you make phone calls. So if you are stuck in a far removed place with no contact, your GPS reciever will be able to get your GPS position (provided you have battery life on your phone).
So what does A-GPS do? Well all it does is that this software downloads "GPS ephemeris" over the internet which is faster than downloading from the satellite directly. You can use 3G, WiFi, GPRS etc to get the data but the real work of tracking your movements is done by the GPS reciever in your phone.
So with the help of a software named A-GPS you have faster "lock" on the overhead satellite.
GPS is absolutely free..., A-GPS (Assisted GPS) since downloads data over internet you have to pay for the data charges which by the way is very small.

Anonymous, 28 Dec 2009Does the xperia 1 really have a gps because on it packaging box it say it entails assisted GPS.Yes it has a GPS but it's not free like what nokia offers. However, if you have a good data plan or wifi you can use it most of the time.
The X1 is a very good device, if your ok with windows mobile I recommend it.

The Sony Ericsson Service centre at Bangladesh took 3 months and yet could not solve the problem of data connectivity with PC of my X1. I think this is a spoil of money by purchasing a set with warranty from Bangladesh. And not it was found to be correct that sony ericsson does not have sufficient support people at Bangladesh.

I agree that now-a-days you don't get 1 handset that has everything. That is probably because our needs have increased we want WinMo, Android, Multi touch input, Capacitive screen, as more as possible megapixel camera etc etc...all in one device. Its very important that we first identify our needs and then choose the best device that fits it.
And yes instead of going for X2, I say check for other handset that are similarly priced, particularly Nokia N900.

The X1 is a compotent phone with a beautiful screen, but within 1 year of ownership i have experienced cracks in the chassis of the phone. Search on Google for this and you will see the extend of this problem. After a rather heavy worded letter to Sony Ericsson they have fixed it for free, but i know that this has not been the case for all those who have had this problem. Anyway, good phone but has major construction problems.

the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 features an interactive panel interface that lets you customize the smartphone to your wants and needs. The Windows Mobile device also has an attractive design and a full QWERTY keyboard.
Without U.S.-carrier backing, the Xperia X1 has an exorbitant price tag. The navigation controls are difficult to use, and the Web browsing experience wasn't the greatest.

mohamamd, 23 Dec 2009It's very Nice and Usefull phone
but I couldn't find it's radio FM.
Every one help me PLS!!!!Sony Ericsson hasn't provided a program for radio accessible from program menu. Instead they have provided a panel solution or it. By default this panel is present as the 9 pane. But if you have customised it, you have to get into panel options and chose the radio panel as one of the nine panels shown. There is no other way to access Radio.
You'll also need the handsfree to receive Radio signals.

Dear Mohamamad,
There is a panel for the radio, you should find it in the panels sections. Just press the panels button and you'll find it. Anyway, once you find it just be sure to have your handfree with you and you must plug it in the 3.5 mm you have after that enjoy the music ;).

ryk, 23 Dec 2009X2 will have document viewer/editor. Owing to its high price its extremely unlikely that Sony ... moreI read it on many places and copied words from a X2 representative that currently there is no FM for X2 (about a month back) but they are aware of demand of FM and they are putting it through a panel. Hardware does support FM radio they are putting a better panel and driver for it so it is possible now that X2 will launch with FM, if not than not too worry as they promissed to put it on shortly with updates.
