I had this XPERIA X1 and it was so bad that paint chiped from metal body. Camera was so bad too. And Windows Mobile had so many bugs. XPERIA X2 fixed all that and improved XPERIA Panels. XPERIA X2 should be XPERIA X1.

        Windows mobile/phone could have been big, if they listened to the users instead of their own ideas! People want apps, but Microsoft proudly avoided it and said we don't need apps.
