                  X1 is a stunningly beautiful phone and the performance and everything is great.

                  Of course, it will not satisfy everybody. I've used R380s, P800, P990 and now X1. They just keep getting better.

                  The X1 is the best SE PDA I've used so far.

                  There are some few things I miss out of the Symbian based systems but I have no regrets with the X1 at all.

                  My gripes,
                  the font sizes are too small even at the highest resolution. I bought the SPB keyboard and had it installed. (Marginally improved virtual keyboard).

                  The touchscreen response and the handwriting recognition is not as nice as the P990.
                  The screen is not wide enough (in portrait mode). The virtual keyboard characters are too small. The hardware keyboards are not as brightly illuminated as what you have on the P990.

                  SE, it's unfair that an elegant and pricey phone like the X1 did not ship with a phone cover and extra-screen protectors.

                  Internet and WiFi connection is very fast.

                  Suggestions:
                  1. wider screen (when held in portrait mode).
                  2. longer battery life. as an alternative ship it with an extra battery.
                  3. Improve on the hardware keyboard.
                  4. Improve the touchscreen and handwriting recogition.
                  5. Windows Mobile please increase the size of your fonts for WinMobile phones.

                  I've gone to this extent because I am looking forward to SE Xperia 2, Xperia 3 or whatever SE will call them.

                        ....with it. When it comes to application programs that you want to install, it should be compatible with Windows or else you may not be able to install that particular application. Unlike symbian and android the windows OS of X1 is boosted by 256 RAM which gives a high performance capability to its system.
                        All in all the Sony's Xperia X1 is stylishly made and powerful enough to suite your life style. The quality of this phone can be of the same level of Apple Iphone. Though you might not be too satisfied with the touch screen experience like the Iphone but rest assured that the great features it has to offer will be quite different and you will be amazed when you got to owned one of these.
                        Summary: Amazing smartphone

                          After more than a month of use with what would probably be one of the best Smartphone in the current market, I can now say that it's incredible! The Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson looks very elegant when you got to hold it personally. From its accessory alone to the smooth style of the phone, it was totally a great experience. It is architecturally made wherein you can tell that is carefully manufactured. It's not surprising at all why it is a bit pricey compared to other phone brands.
                          The X1 provides a very easy to use keyboard, lots of fantastic options and features to choose from and also allows you to connect to the internet a very high speed. Yes it's true I can access the web using wireless broadband connection at the speed of 7.2 megabyte per seconds though the downside was it is costlier than usual maybe because of the speed connection. But as much as possible you try to use wifi signal whenever necessary because it's free and available in most commercial places. I also found out that the battery of X1 can last much longer comparable to my T-Mobile G1 and N85 phones and I think it's around 3 hours difference when used continuously. Another thing is the data storage inside the phone looks pretty low, but what keeps me wondering was the size of allowable memory card that you can put into the phone which is a lot of times bigger than the physical memory of the phone itself. From symbian to android operating system that I'm using with my phone, now it's time for me to evaluate the OS that the xperia x1 offers. Before Sony Ericsson uses symbian OS which they acquired to Nokia but with this Smartphone they shifted to Windows Mobile version 6.1 which is the same OS used by HTC mobile company. The advantage of this OS is you can view and edit MS Office documents weather Word or Excel easily just like you normally do with a regular computer, everything has a professional aspect. Typing on its well designed keyboard is not that difficult and I'm very comfortable
