˝The Biggest High-Tech Flops Of 2008˝
by Pierre Dandumont

˝It may have been the most eagerly awaited telephone of the year... and it may well have been the most disappointing telephone of the year, too. Introduced in February with (almost) operational prototypes, the phone has only just become available in stores. Its “revolutionary” Windows Mobile interface was not only slow, but it also wasn’t any more functional than other operating systems from HTC, Samsung or Asus. And since there’s only one Windows Mobile model from Sony Ericsson, developments for the proprietary interface, quite naturally, are scarce. What was supposed to be the ultimate smartphone is at best only passable, and at worst a total failure.˝

      Saw your post on the R2A firmware upgrade. You seem to be happy with the upgrade. But there is a mixed reaction to the R2A upgrade on XDA Dev forum. Some people say it's good, some say there's hardly any change from R1A.

      Did you upgrade to the R2A for Vodafone UK?

      My X1 is a Generic UK one, and there seems to be an R2A upgrade for this now too. I'm keen on trying it, but I'm kinda confused about whether it'll really make a difference in the phone's performance.

      What do you think?

        indra, 04 Feb 2009haha you just make me laugh haha.. 16M colors ? yes i kn... moreHi Indra,

        I second you on this issue of 16M colours. I dont know why people make such big issue about the number of colours available. I myself posted a message a few days back saying that the screen on X1 is really very good. The resolution is super, and having "65k colours only" has not been a limitation in any way. I wonder, can people really tell the difference between 65k and 16m colours? I think, not!

        BTW mate, I installed the TF3D following your instructions, and the AnX1's landscape mode. It works fine now. No crashing of the phone. Though there are a few little niggles like screen blanking out at midnight and the settings screen on TF3D not responding to touch. But these are minor issues. All in all, a good GUI experience. Thanks a lot for your help.

          I got x1i few days back and m veri satisfied with the performance but some things which are annoying are

          1. the lock key at the top of the fone, which is a bit difficult to use
          2. sending a message z a hard thing to do, ofcourse it ll take time to be familiar
          3. qwerty key board was working quite well, but keys r very small, but ofcourse then they cant give bigger then this.

          the best features are
          1. Video quality...its awesum
          2. Stereo z quite good
          3. it supports upto 32GB card ...thats make it a mini laptop you know
          4. light in weight n small in size..can easily fill my jeans pocket

                  16M colors ? yes i know that it is a big number but your nokia screen resolution quality is too small to support the colors, wasting money. actualy you dont enjoy the colors at full quality but you must pay it hehe i wish you can enjoy the colors as much as 16 MILLION COLORS by your eyes haha...how sad you are...

                  you said that nokia has higher screen resolution than X1...oh i see you just talk without knowlegdes

                  your comment is useless here, you are just a fanatic boy

                                      I've had the xperia x1 some 9weeks.I must say a couple of system changes do make a big difference ,programs like xperiatweak and sktools make this easy.Xperia is a briliant piece of kit and the screen is absolutely terrific
