HI All,

Those who are intending to buy this phone I can tell you this a fantastic piece. Only thing is that you will take time to get use to it. But once you understand this is the best Windows Mobile phone I ever had. Its just like a pocket PC.

Battery life: almost 3 days.
Screen: Superp glowy and glossy (best of the lot)
reception: Good
Speaker phone: Not Good
Camera: Good as compared with Mobile camera.
GPS: Google map is amazing.
Wifi: Strenth of the wireless router poor.
surfing net through EDGE: Good
MSN & SKYPE works well
Do not support South East Asian language: Hv to download the language pack which is very hard to find. If needed I can help. check my previous post for my email.

    This is a very handy phone and is also easy to use. I have been using it for a while and is really enjoying it.

      a real shame.

      i sell this phone, and am yet to see one come back.
      my gf also has one and does not have an issue.

      however i got an older build of the exact same phone and i have been having issues since Day 3. i ignored the 30 day ELF because i could fix the issues myself, until now.

      i can visit any website except for on the telstra portal. this means i can't buy new games for my X1, can not watch mobile foxtel(pay tv on mobile), can not update my GPS software(telstra collaborated with garmin on this one, and it works beautifully) but i can youtube and do anything on the like normal internet.

      does anyone have any suggestions for me before i do my 4th hard reset?

          I got this phone, must say it is my best phone yet, very good looks, nice qwerty keyboard and it feel if you are working with something durable, elegant and solid. Battery lasts very good, it should, the battery is about as big as the phone. Connectivity is great. I have looked and compare a few phones and must say this one was the best. If you do not believe me check the rankings.

            dolapo,
            To set a downloaded tune as a ringtone go into programs, file explorer, then find the tune you want as your ringtone hold the curser on it and you should be able to set it as a ringtone from there

            hope it helps

                When Lars Aronsson bought his first Windows Mobile device, the Xperia X1 last year he did not know much about the OS.  A steep learning curve later he can rightfully be called an expert user.
                Unlike most however he went to great effort to document his knowledge, resulting in the publication of the “Little Guide to Windows Mobile”, an extremely comprehensive guide to getting the most out of your Windows Mobile smartphone, especially but not confined to it being an Xperia X1.
                If you just bought a new Windows Mobile smartphone it may be worth giving this page a read even before you unbox your device, so you will be well equipped to smooth over any rough patches and customize the device exactly to your liking.

                      Xperia X1s have been leaping from the shelves here in London, there have been many shortages, so in what way is the X1 a failure? I have to say I totally love mine, after applying a few tweaks my xperia is such a fast, powerful little device. I prefer the superb WVGA resolution screen, 3.5 mm audio jack, touch sensitive scroller and Xperia panels to the mundane VGA res, usb etc sported on the touch pro.

                          I bought this mobile since two month. I owned Nokia and Samsung mobiles for year. The X1 is the most powerfull and charmfull mobile I ever have.

                            Hi. It looks for very nice phone but I think inside this is HTC manufactorer, it takes even microSD memory cards. Little heavy male phone but its not a disadvantage.

                              hi there,
                              I suggest that everybody who has the X1 find and download resco explorer it is very very useful and high speed application, with this application you edit your registry or send several files via blue tooth and etc.....,

                              best wishes!

                                    hercules, 27 Apr 2009thuis phone has a really bad battery life.The battery life is only bad if you keep playing with it, the same is true with all other phones. Stand-by time in its' trueist sense means that it's sitting around waiting to be used for calls.

                                        Hi All,

                                        I have found the software to read the Chinese character in SE Xperia X1. In case if someone wants contact me in babyfacecry@gmail.com .

                                        It is absolutely free and it can only read Chinese character but cannot write.

                                        Best regards.
