Am I just confused, why does it cost money to use the gps on the X1 and not on the Iphone 3G?

Hi Rodin69
Which brand/model of headset did you use ?
Hi! I used a HBH-PV705. It has been working quite well with my P990 for two years.

it cost money to download maps but if you have them saved on your memory card then it's free. I have copilot navigation software on my WM ipaq and it works off the memory card. GPS itself doesn't cost anything - it pics up signals direct from the GPS satelittes - you don't need an internet connection to get a gps lock.

Gah!
Found one very irritaing thing with the WIFI-settings. Confirmed it with XP-support as well.
There is no way to set different settings for diffrent networks other then password and so..
This mean that everyime you change network to another network that doesn't have DHCP you have to change the network settings with IP-adress and router and so on. There is no way to have diffrent places set as I have found out.. and the support didn't know a way as well.
Maby there is a third party software for this? Anyone who got any idéa, please let me/us know!

Yes.. if u use it from the camera app. when switched on its on for a good while. No need of holding down a button like on P1i.
Oh? so there's no option like on the K750i where you can just use the light as a flashlight?
Bummers but it's still groovy though.
Just two more weeks!!! *twitches eyes*
err...you don´t need to hold any button at all on the P1...just install the torch app from the G900, and its done...no need to use the camera app at all

Another "Need to have"...
I want to be able to use my phone as a modem.. either via bluetooth or, if possible via Wifi..
That is, charing the 3g-connection with my laptop (macbook pro, and in second hand a PC with win XP pro. But there I guess I can use whatever software came with the phone?).
Suggestions?

Hi all,
Been awhile since I've been on here, so hi again all. In fact been a while since SE have come up with something great... til now
. This is my next phone, and I'll already have my upgrade ordered with Vodafone (virtually free for my tariff ) out for those who don't know around 25th on Vodafone.
Right now to explain how the memory works....

@joel80, you can do it as standard using bluetooth or cable connection or (and I prefer this) you can buy wm wifi router as that does a good job.
I've connected my iphone and pc through wifi to my WM 3g connection with great results and will continue to do so on the X1
Posted by PeterKay
Smapes Opinion of the X1:
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is a very specific, yet an efficient PDA. It would make a great choice for those looking for a WM PDA sporting just as much computing power and versatility as fashionable looks, equipped with a QWERTY keyboard (yet not the handiest around). All in all, the product appears to be a balanced solution, on of the best in its class. Final conclusions will be drawn upon testing a next-to-final sample later in autumn. The currently available sample makes a great Christmas gift provided that SE fixes the spotted weaknesses on time, without pushing the release date into the next year.
+ Stylish design, original form factor
+ High quality of materials and assembly
+ Large high-definition screen
+ Long battery life
+ 3.5 mm audio jack
+ XPERIA panels firmware launcher
+ Powerful CPU, 256 Mb of RAM
+ Wi-Fi and GPS, as well as an FM tuner
- High price
- Challengeable keyboard ergonomics
- Non-canon screen resolution
- No TV-out
- No hardware 3D acceleration

Bose. Meh. Killer Master, what you want is some of these. Or perhaps these. You've never heard of them before? Just because you've never heard of them it doesn't mean that Sony, or even Bose, are better. You have probably never heard of them before because they are usually used by professional musicians. But that doesn't mean that people like us can't have the absolute best sound there is.
Oh, and ignore the Logitech logo. It means nothing. Logitech bought them recently, but Logitech won't be influencing the quality of UE's products at all (unless they are REALLY dumb).
I would personally go with shure, UE are good and coslty as well. Bose is in an ok range with higher bass(in that range), so bass lovers usually like bose sound, and he missed mega bass, and yeah elite,
You should as well know that sony and UE cannot be compared as their target and price are totally different.
Sorry guys for going OT.

128MB for CPU/3D doesn't make any technical sense whatsoever.

LOL
I hope so, and I hope I can join them because I can't wait to get my hands on the X1, eventhough I'm not a Windows-fanboy...
But what about that 128MB graphics memory!? Why would a phone use this amount of memory just for graphics?
My computer is having a 64MB 3D-graphicscard. Okay, according to today's standards it isn't something you will win the newest games with, but it's good enough to play i.e. Max Payn, Far Cry or Battlefield with an acceptable quality at 1024x768/24bit. Why would somebody put 128MB in a device with 'only' 800x480/16bit!?
In my opinion it doesn't make any sense, only if it is a device made to be played with like a PSP.

Maybe they have in minda releasing some "excelent" games for this X1... you never know

That could be an excelent reason and a great excuse

Posted by max_wedge
the 128MB RAM argument is just pure speculation by those who don't really understand the hardware architecture.
Either X1 has 384MB or 256MB as the total RAM pool, it certainly doesn't have any main RAM dedicated to video. It may or may not have dedicated vram but if it does it will be in a different pool to that of RAM.

the thread at xda developers a guy had opened it up and can find only one chip.
Actually on that thread quite a few posters are saying that the X1 is very fast in normal operation (ie: not using panels) and that most of the panels aren't too bad with only one or two being real slow.
I'm liking the X1 more and more, I can defo see this being my nextr WM device.

Posted by Qramohn
Anyone know how to get rid of the panels completely? Uninstall is enough?
The panels sucks compared to running Xperia with "spb mobile shell" and "spb pocket plus". And the X-panel button could be mapped for better use..
It's a remarkable difference in response time when not running panels.
Gotta love the phone and all it features, but the panels are poorly implemented and doing more harm than use for users and SE.

Well. You don't know before you try and find out yourself, or?
Rest of the phone is just amazing.
Posted by max_wedge
because of the design, form factor (the curved slide is pretty cool and useful), good specs (okay okay so it doesn't have VGA video, who freakin' cares....
), 3.5mm jack (many WM have usb mini or 2.5mm), fast processor.
Apparently the orientation change is fast (most WM in my experience are a it laggy at this), and running shells faster than touch Flo I've also heard.
Even the design alone is enough given that the phone is generally on par (or better) with other WM phones spec-wise. If you like the design of the handset (looks and ergonomics) then why not the X1?
