Xperia watch UK...
Carphone warehouse has xperia display as stated earlier... free handset on orange for £45 a month including free internet. Guy expects phone in on the 25th as he had an SE rep the store yesterday giving a pressentation. He also said the the xperia was going to be his next phone - which is a good sign...
As the deal was on orange i popped into an orange store only to be told that orange are expecting the phone somewhere in the middle of next month THEN it has to be tested(!). They are hopping to get it out before xmas! Not sure if this info is correct - the girl seemed pretty clueless...
anybody confirm any of this?

But, if you're syncing with Windows Media Player on your desktop, you should be able to set the sync settings for your device (in this case, X1) to use MP3 format. I am interested to know whether this conversion will carry over the album artwork from Media Player, though... can someone test that out?
Won't you be further degrading the quality of the file (going from WMA to MP3)? Why not reconvert the originals?

Yes, this is a 'transcode', so yes you would be degrading quality, however reconverting the originals is a pretty serious pain in the ass when you've spent a LOT of time archiving your entire CD collection into WMA Lossless format
For a mobile copy of maybe a dozen or so select albums I can swap out whenever, I'll take the hit in quality for simplicity's sake.

Does anybody know how big the memorycard with the movie Hancock is?
If you did a pre-order of X1 in Sweden you will receive this, my memorycard is in the post on its way to me.
I did a pre-order but haven't heared anything about an included movie. I only read some rumors it might be included with the phone. But it wasn't. At least not in my box.
There was, however, a memory card included. It was as big as 4GB, which was a positive surprise since I would have been glad to get a 2GB card.
[ This Message was edited by: Rodin69 on 2008-10-17 18:01 ]
The Hancock card is a 1 GB microSD with the movie and trailers of some other movies on it. The reason why you haven't got it is because they were delayed from the manufacturer.

I thought I read somewhere here about a site that showed how to be able to use the pen for writing directly on the screen. But now I can't find it...
I don't seem to have that option.. To write text directly on te screen with the stylus that is. Text recognizing...
Anyone figured this out? Please share..

This is a standard feature of Windows Mobile, and has been since the beginning;
when inputting text, tap the icon in the lower center of the screen; a popup menu should come up. Choose TRANSCRIBER.
If you look in the Transcriber options, you can train it for your specific handwriting style so its recognition abilities improve.

Does X1 have magnetic stylus like HTC Touch HD?

Do I get beheaded now when I am saying Xperia X1 is pure shit in many things.
The speaker is a joke, I don't hear anything when I am walking on the street.
I want the clock to be seen in the status bar but obviously there isn't any possible way but to change panel to be able to see the clock.
I can't set my own message signal? (please help me if someone knows)
The scroll bars are hard to grasp.
Windows Mobile sucks overall.
I have installed spb shell but still I need to scroll from time to time and the clock remain invisble for me.

If you go into Preferences - sound and messages or whatever it says you can change your message signal. And I don't have any problems with the speaker at all.

Spending this kind of money on a phone that can't do the simple thing as showing clock in the status bar is just outrageous.
You shouldn't need to download apps to sort that kind of thing.
I download stuff to this phone for your information, I have got everything sorted so I can watch PC version of Youtube.
Posted by Creid
Glad you sorted your X1. Think its not exactly what you want when you got it because SE could not make everyone happy. They have sold us a device which is so tweekable that, with a little fiddlin, Skys the limit!
ps cant wait to get mine LORL

How do you get your album art in the first place? Do you use an iTunes account to get the free album art, or do you find the album art yourself and apply it manually?
If you use the free iTunes album art, it only works for iTunes and iPods. If you want it on any other device, you need to apply the album art yourself through searching google image search, etc.

So let me get this straight. You couldn't be arsed showing us pictures, but you expect us to go to the effort to help you?
Tell you what, sell your X1 to someone who gives a fcuk, and buy something a little simpler, like maybe an s40 Nokia. I'm sure the completely lack of flexibility will be much more manageable for you.
And we won't have to listen to your moaning anymore...
Posted by mobman
while i agree that he/she should probably done some more research before buying as winmob obviously is the wrong choice - i think the issue with the speaker is worrying - any other lucky x1'ers find the speaker too quiet.

1) I don't think xperia is for you. I beleive you should trade-in your xperia and get mobile phone.
2) its funny when you say it is ugly...but you bought it.

The 3 of them should have it at the same time as they are all part of the CPW Group... (albeit with better deals at the two website stores!)

Seems it can't handle contacts in one.vcf file but separately. You must synchronize the contacts from your K800 with outlook and then the outlook contacts with the X1 using ActiveSync.

Did you notice that nobody beheaded you?
That a lot of volunteers jumped to help you?
The first step is not to complain. That's easy and makes you part of the problem. Did you notice some here got annoyed?
Attitude is everything.
Focusing on the solution and asking for help gives you more results without stress.
The great thing about Xperia is not that they make one for each preferences but that you can loaded with all your preferences. This concept doesn't make the Xperia S**t (using your own words)

I wouldn't go that far to say it's pure shit. I am willing to agree that some things can be a little annoying though. And if some of those things are very important, it's easy to get frustrated and angry.
I want the clock to be seen in the status bar but obviously there isn't any possible way but to change panel to be able to see the clock.
If you got to Settings/Clock, you have a tab where you can select to have the clock vissible at the top of the screen. It will replace the battery indicator though, but you can tap the clock to view the battery status.
The scroll bars are hard to grasp.
Indeed if you are using the fingers. But if you are using the stylus and have trouble with the scroll bars, maybe you will have to do another calibration of the touch screen?
Regards,
Michael

I think you are on the right track. The Xperia is a laptop in a pocket.
Entertain yourself Watching your videos and movies, listen to your music, carry your photo album, Play games
And when you get serious, pull out the keyboard and send and receive Email, write some letters with WORD, keep your info with EXCEL
Organize your life with a Calendar, Phone Book and Notes
And as a bonus the GPS will take you where you are going. The Internet wil keep you inform, Google knows anything you want to know.
Plus you can take pictures, record videos and call your friends and tell them what a wonderful hand computer you have.
YES the Xperia is for you.
.
The Big and well speced keys will make your typing easier han those number keypads.
Yes I believe I saw somewhere and adapter. However you can buy a usb drive that uses microSD. You get the best of both worlds in one shot. Because you can have multiple microSD's in one USB drive and you can move stuff back and forth from your Xperia to any computer instantly.
