MIZZLE!
FRAK ME! I didn't know the X1 was as small as the K850i! BAM! its a PURE PHONE! SHITE! that you for comparison video on your blog!
Oh man .... I think I may have to save another $200 for the USA X1! This keypad better be decent more than adequate.
Also how is call quality & does SBP Shell totally get rid of the horrible WM menu layout & navigation?!
Lastly - is that Dpad noisy to click like I've seen on many YouTube videos?

Few photos:
Dont get it wrong. X1 backlight/screen can be whiter and brighter when set manually (consume more battery power). Mine is on auto which is comfortable enough for any usage. |

Guys i am still confused. Does the phone come with a chip in the box or you have to purchase it seperately. Does the existence of the chip vary from service provider.

Got the X1 today, here are my thoughts:
1. The phone built is solid. Bought it just for the looks.
2. Windows Mobile Sucks. It is sooooooooooo slowwwwwww.
3. Panels suck the most. They are slow, crappy, they hang the phone and do all sorts of evil things. FXCK you SE for that.
4. The keyboard sucks bigtime. The top row of the keyboard is not useable.No good feedback.
5. NO D-pad on the keyboard, have to use the D-pad on the phone. I did not like it.
6. The whole WinMo experience sucked and seemed out of date.
7. The phone is slow as hell after sometime.
8. Battery life is good.
9. WinMo keeps bugging with alerts everytime I send a SMS, Miss a Call, Recieve a SMS and almost everything. This is Fx*ck*ng annoying.
10. The speaker sucks. Sounds very cheap in a $1000 phone. Cheapo SE
11. I hated the phone in just one hour. BAD BAD BAD phone for the price.
12. I am returning it.
I recommend everybody "NOT TO BUY THE PHONE". I HATE HATE HATE IT......

Your post is extremely pathetic.
If I were you, I would delete the entire post or at least the text in it.

Aditya... seems like you hate Windows Mobile more than the phone itself. Next time do your homework before spending any kind of money. It might save you some trouble.

Oh Yes I hate windows mobile. Its a joke in the name of a cellphone OS. I had done my homework but I thought things might have improved this time, but No. WinMo has failed. Time to wrap up guys. |

Call quality is good, and yep, SPB eliminates MANY of WM's menus and what not. The d-pad does indeed click, yes. Personally, I don't find it annoying, but different people, different tastes. |

Does this mobile has stereo speakers. If no then whats the hole near to camera key and the same in the opp side.
How is sound quality in loud speaker as well as in headset? |

I agree with addicool (or however you spell it) in everything except 4,11,12. But when you compare it with the other phones out there it is really the best. It has everything any other phone has and even more stuff and better looks, size, build material, brand.
I am waiting for the importing of Android on it and hopping that it will make it look better or even faster. The phone is nice and all but Win Mo is ruining it and I am surprised how microsoft didn't change anything in their system since like what, 8 10 years ago ??!!. I would expect a much better performance with a 530mhz dual processor and 256mb of ram and 128 mb of vram. |

the X1 is my first WinMo device and I admit that the OS does take a fair bit of patience to get to grips with - but I knew what I was letting myself in for and the phone has exceeded my expectations. |

One of greatest unbiased reviews ever!. Carefull you might get a heart attack writing that.
Let's compare THIS ONE against the thousands opinions of intelligent users.
Oh.. Keep the battery. That was good.

to pinquino,
when someone writes her/his negative opinion about something that doesn't make it biased!
Although I am keeping the phone and I am liking it, I was shocked when I used the phone for the first time and expected to face the good things I heard from this thread about it.
it IS slow
the panels are NOT as good as they are making them sound
win mo DOES look outdated
its loud speaker is VERY quiet, I have to be in a quiet room to be able to hear the one talking when I put the phone on speaker. by quiet I mean don't even turn the AC on. and I am not a 50 years old geezer  .
but all in all this is a great phone compared to the other "business" phones out there, especially the blackberry.

Everyone is entitled and should have an opinion. 
I agree with the panels comment, hence why I don't use them anymore, functionality is more important to me than concept. I'm sure they will improve with time though .
Since you are keeping your phone you can speed it up by a "little" bit of customisation or by using less-dated interfaces like:
- SPB Shell - available from SE fun download site
OR
- TouchFlo 3D - also faster than the default panels (it's the only one I use now)
- XperiaTweaks = improve memory cache, etc.
- Plenty of free downloadable programs to use with WinMob
