The X1 is still pretty flawed, the flashy advert with the kids and the paper aeroplanes tried to make it more mass market and accessible, hence the panels thing they tried to implement. The X1 seemed to me like an experiment and we were the paying guinea pigs, most of us were paying silly amounts for the phone. Yes the every phone has its own shortcomings but when you’re paying £500 the last thing you’d expect is build quality to be an issue, software bugs and a steep learning curve maybe but not for a phone to break that’s not something you can really ignore.
I consider myself an advanced user but I couldn’t use this phone on a day to day basis due to the fact that most people like a phone to just work out of the box, no pc synchronisation, no myriad of set up menus just something that I don’t have to troll around a forum for to solve. By that I mean the speed issues, software bugs and the countless number of cabs I had to hunt down because I wanted a particular feature. In the end this phone wasn’t for me despite SE assuring me it was with its hype, maybe I’m not who SE were trying to target but I’m pretty damn sure they were trying to sell it as a premium device that was all singing and dancing and it simply wasn’t.

I also had mixed emotions about windows mobile. At one point I was actually missing UIQ badly and even looked at the new Iphone- I simply can't stand poor software performance. Then I realised that core player, which I constantly use, is the big culprit-probably not fully optimised for xperia. It should be closed after usage. Also I found and start to use speed booster - I would call it windows mobile swiss pro:-) Finaly I found apps 'informant' and 'midomi'. The first is amazing pim apps - as I am a manager in a bank I needed something like that. The second is id track which is the single one app I missed from P1.
So I can understand those people who don't like xperia or winmo in general. It is rather strange operating system. But after one bring it to the desired state it becomes a killer machine. As you said, this is by far the best SE phone I had.
Yes, I've had mixed emotions about WM's UI in the beginning,
but after I started to see what it offers and what are the apps,
yes, it's a "killer machine."

Officially through SEUS? That would be really nice.

No he hasn't - http://xperiancers.com/2009/09/10/x1-upgrade-not-in-the-roadmap/ - 100% confirmed, X1 will not get 6.5 through SEUS, and that's not an official ROM on XDA.

Well - his ROM did not come out of the blue,
it's based on SE,
but true, not released = not official...
We'll see about the update when 6.5 will be official,
it's a bit mess right now...

Maybe the non-existant upgrade to 6.5 won't arrive just in time for my brother's X1 to get back from the repair shop after 7 months use. Yeah for £550 he doesn't feel abused at all and having had owned 3 HTC's without any problem previously I'm sure he'll be thrilled by the X2 aanouncement and will be lining up to purchase one for another £600 odd at release.

That's what he says - however, SE, through Xperiancers, flatly deny that. All of these ROMs originally come from somewhere, but since XDA has been riddled with leaked HTC ROMs from day one and the X1 is effectively an HTC device, it's almost certain that his "official" ROM is just cloned from some other HTC device - nothing to do with SE.

I`re got XPERIA X1 - when I`m working in opera and I`m opening web pages, it often stops working.
How can I correct it?

Try different browsers. I don't think there is a mobile browser that can load every page properly. As popular as Opera is, I have more success with PIE and Opera Mini.

How do I install programmes to my Xperia X1 when using Windows 7.
I had Windows XP before and used a small nifty programme which allowed me to just right click on the cab files.
I recall that isn't possible with Windows 7 and I don't remember the name of the small programme anymore.

Syncing is built into Vista and Windows 7. It's called Windows Mobile Device Center.
.cab files must be copied to the X1 and executed from there.
.exe files must be executed on your PC, then they will be installed on the X1 during (or when you...) sync.

hi there!
could someone please help me with one problem?
I downloaded a SMS sound on my PC, and transferred it to X1 in "ringtone folder" but I couldn't find any option to set that sound as my "incoming text message" sound. That sound also wasn't in "Sounds and notification > notifications" folder.
What should I do?
I dunno know if anyone posted that before, but this thread is too big to search that post.
Thanks in advance!

Put it in the Windows folder

I have been using Android on my X1 for a while now, mostly 2.0.1 and 2.1 Eclair.
Its awesome, a nice change from WinMo. At XDA Developers they are working tiresly to develop a fully functioning android OS for X1, always improving, at a very stead rate over last month or two but a few small issues remain.
You use a linux boot loader to load an image of the Andriod OS, you can install apps, do what ever you want.
Current issues are inaccurate power management with battery getting hot, no GPS, most versions iv used bar one can not send text message, can receive however, no camera.
It is worth checking out if your game, though there is no harm done to the X1, it does not modify WinMo.
Once its a perfectly functioning OS i may consider using it full time.

I'm sorry for being really lazy and not reading the whole 502 page thread to see if this has been answered but how easily can the X2 ROM be flashed to an X1? The hardware is pretty much the same isn't it?

At the moment impossible.
Posted by Ricky D
Impossible? Surely you just mean difficult. I've seen videos of android on the X1 so it can't be impossible to get the X2 FW cross flashed. I was hoping one of you guys had done this already and could offer me a quick and easy fix up..

Of course I meant just difficult
Actually at xda-developers you'll find many WM 6.5 ROM's for X1!
