Damn, that's bad news for me too.
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.

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.

UK availability of the X1.
www.e2save.co.uk and www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk both have availability from week starting 20th Oct on O2 from £25 per month. CPW Direct sales suggested that the official UK launch is 20th Oct with availability around 23rd Oct.

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.

in response to the expansys "special" offer on the xperia for £499 - why not just buy from SE from their site for £480???
Er perhaps because they still don't have any to sell you?

Copy the songs/sounds you want to set to My Documents/My Ringtones, then you will find them in the list of ring tones. |

It seems to me, that you are not the one who should use WM phones No offense, but WM phones need a bit love and knowledge to live with |
