Give it time,its the begining for the sx1. They r at the corner cuz its christmas but itll b fine in 2months.

The keypad layout alone should give us an indication how much effort the design team gave into this phone.

I wish some1 could give an extended user review/comparence and pro's/con's about the sx1.Instead of a quick bash, the phone is just out, i'm sure sw upgrade can fix it's stability?And the looks, well that's more a matter of taste :-)

That's what i was saying. A gr8 ph and sw improvement later.

I tried the sx1 yesterday it is released here in lebanon 800$ the menu is little slow,nice camera with zoom 4 x & u can use the full screen as a viewer,the video 16 second with sound but there was no mc in it,u can use the radio hands free & it has mp3 ,it has almost 80% the menu as nokia 6600,3650 the size is ok sory i've only tried it for a few minutes

Of course the SX1 isnt as gud as the P900. The P900 is the top of the range, SX1 is a newbie. And battery life increases once u go through a few charge cycles! Even the mighty P900 had that problem! How quick memory r forgotten when it suits.

Posted by Yaesu
The whole style of the sx1 puts me off the so called \"inovative keyboard\" just does not feel right to use

Go for 6600 if you want a S60!
One of the best Nokia phones ever made. The best Nokia phones on the market today, in my opinion, even though it doesnt have EDGE...

Posted by 701
I'd buy 1!

Hmm I was wanting a SX1 but got fed-up delays n sh*t i gave up on it however best thing for u to do with it is put it away for awhile n bring it back out again when siemens have new fw for it! It should work haha :-D

Posted by 701
@miss uk: if u read the other posts, there is a plan for siemens to release a sx2! Now that would b a killer

Contrary to what some of you think, The SX1 is a great device despite its keypad arrangement. From the solid, classy build quality to the screen quality.. All praises here in the philippines for the beautiful design (admit it, its a much better looking device than the ugly 6600 and the p900), the built in fm tuner, the crisper screen, the better camera. Personally I just love the design. The P900 squeaks and has the worst camera and screen quality while the 6600 has bad design and bugs. I know a lot of you would object to my thoughts because this is an SE forum, but this is just me..

Just when did Seimens got better than Sony Ericsson?? eh?lol.

All phones have bugs and fortunately they can be fixed so no big deal there. But SX having a better design than P900 or 6600 is debatable. Try texting with SX using only one hand, and you wish you have a 5110 instead.lol

Posted by twincam77
One hand texting is fine if you have long fingers. But then againl, you would rather use a 5110...

@ LeeG i could have told your m8 that the SX1 is rubbish coz all siemens phones are rubbish

Posted by bionrg
just found out that SX1 is same as n6600, same phone different company's different design... slight modifications to software/firmware

neukia has licensed to siemens for use.

btw. SX2 is on the horizon

@BlackBauer24
Yeah right.. and i have one friend who had a T65 and another who had a T66, they both sucked big time, so (Sony) Ericssons are all rubbish..
God, I wish all things in life was this simple..

Posted by 701
Sx1 and 6600 r similar cuz they both use symbian sw not cuz nokia gave siemens smtng.

Posted by fijbert
I've played with a 6600 quite a few times and for long periods (like 4hrs and such)
and I think the SX1 is a far greater device
sure it has it's bugs
a lot of em
but u can live with em

6600 has it's own share of bugs
new firmware is expected soon for the SX1
and verm, the SX1 is more expensive than the P900
P900 goes for about 600$ in dubai now... if the price hasnt dropped more.. whereas the SX1 still goes for about 750$-800$

the keypad layout isnt that hard to get used.. took me about 4-5 days
I text at a reasonable pace.. that of a typical cell phone user.
it can be easily used with one hand..
512MB MMC is by far better than the crappy 128mb limitation
camera superceeds that of the 6600 and P900
once the new fw comes out (some claims that it is out) it will piss all over the 6600
the P900 is a different class of smartphone
u cant compare the two
they are aimed at different markets and different purposes.. P900 is biz, SX1 is entertainment
that is y I own the both

also SX1 has the most addictive game.. mozzles

That was obvious from the very first pictures of the SX1. But it's actually closer to the 3660, both are Series 60 1.0 on Symbian OS 6.1, while the 6600 is Series 60 2.0 on Symbian OS 7.0s.

Samsung and Sendo are also licensed Series 60 companies.

@boinrg...

the sx2 will be a symbian clamshell phone with a rotating display like the Samsung's SGH-P408.


Posted by bionrg
Nice, i wonder how big it eventually will be.Sounds as if theire topline phones are turning into pda's?

Posted by WildCard#!
SX1 will not be available for Orange in the UK. All this talk of the SX1 crashing eveytime you load up the camera is very saddening. As the SX1 is so unstable they are not taking it on. Quality test and all that. The SX1 looked really promising but hey ho life goes on. I was waiting for it and so I was just really glad I didn't wait for it and just got a p900 instead. P900 best smartphone at the moment in the world propably.

Thought i relive this thread back and as my first post here, i think i would like to give Siemens some credit due

Just a warning to anyone who is even thinking of gettin one ! DON'T !!!! my friend just got one (AGAINST MY BEST ADVICE) and he's gutted, its so badly built and crashes a lot !!! and the battery life is just very very very poor
I noticed most of those who gave negative comments on SX1 on this thread, are those without SX1. Badly built? Lots of reviews are saying it is solidly built and fits nicely in your palm. Weird keypad? Shouldnt that 'friend' of yours or anyone for that matter thought about that before buying the phone in the first place Battery life? New firmware (fw6) has been posted on Siemens website to improve the battery life of the phone. It's just a glitch like the Tungsten T3 case.

Looks like Siemens are doing a Nokia with the SX1!
Gee...which side are you on? Sony or Ericsson Think about it, you get to use Nokia apps, no need for proprietry new app or anything like that. Aint that good?

----
SX1 sux.. got it on friday.. i think even Nokia 6600 is better than that crapy phone
Like all other phones, either you like them or hate them. But in terms of features, SX1 beats the 6600 hands down. Just check out the specs. on the net or go to any review sites. And as usual Siemens is pretty generous with their bundles. Some proggies and of course, stereo headset and cables. I dont remember buying T610 with usb cable included but i remember fondly buying my dinosaur ME45 3 years ago which comes with free usb cable. Whatever...

----
@ LeeG i could have told your m8 that the SX1 is rubbish coz all siemens phones are rubbish
Yeah, and it surprise me either why Siemens is in the 2003 top5 mobile phone maker list (phones most sold) and SE not. Idiot.


----
Bottomline, let the others try it b4 buying the phone. It's sad to see the senior members in this thread posting without giving a thought or two about it. I can also call names such as "that stupid fat 6600" or "that ugly brick" of the P900. These are all great and cool phones and there're bound to be some people who would think otherwise. It's just those arse like the poster who first started this thread which irritates me the most.

Do i own the SX1? Nah...see it, try it, hate the keypad. Sticking with my P800. Peace.

Not all SIEMENS phones r that bad ive owned a few in my time best 2 M50 and S55 ;-) SX1 looks awkward but is nice ive never played with it as ive not bin able to trace it yet :-l Motorola are generous got a free BT HEADSET with my V600 wish got datacable with it too :-D

Posted by mustu
I gota SX1 and it really nice.I also have a P900 and the T630.The P900 is my main phone and the is the SX1 and then the T630.I must tell you that SX1 does have a very very good camera.I think the key pad is kool its very very future type and is different from the other phones is what makes it better.
You can also upgrade online with it which is good.
Well nice stuff on the cd supplied.
And bluetooth work like the breeze.

Posted by LeeG
Check out the price reduction on Expansys, down to 360 ish !!!!, told ya all its crap !!!!!!
