norbinw,
I bought mine from www.cellswholesale.com , and they ship it from honk kong(which i didnt know). They have it for 510$ now! I have flashed it with uk rom, and tried with some other roms as well using xda, and they work on x1i.
Xperia T + N 96 R.I.P Desire  |

Can anyone tell me why a X1i would not work in Canada or USA. I notice that one has 850 band and the other 900 - what does that really mean? Thanking you all in advance. |

I have a chinese rom. Whenever I use the keyboard, it will set chinese as default. I need to switch back to English everytime. Is there a way to set english input as default??

I think shouldn't be a problem, but dun take my word for it. Go to xda-developers.com, log in as free member and ask the gurus there would be a better decision. There the ppl cook ROMs like, WOW~~~~ But I'm currently using official R3 ROM with some boosting softwares. Search back a few pages to see what I did to my phone, also gotten from that site. |

My provider officially launched the X1 here in Canada. VERY late  - but its better late than never because the retail from them, slightly branded (firmware startup/shutdown screens) brings the street price down to $600 CAN which means BNIB or unlocked slightly used brings it further down 
I'm considering:
X1
the metal-silver walkman W705?
Nokia E72 (late September)
or do I wait all the way till December (NAM release of Satio or something better) ?? hmm.

Well, if you wait until December, certainly they'll have announced or rumoured something even better than the X2 and you'll be waiting all over again for THAT one. If you got the X1 late ,what makes you think you'll get the next high-end SE phone on time? Better enjoy the X1 now

I don't have the X1 - I'm considering it heavily since my provider offers it on subsidy but I'm not locking into another 3yr contract (I just started 3yr contract 4mths ago). More competition will have HSPA here in Canada late fall and better pricing in January next year so I've got to factor in contract cancellation fees before I port my number. Retail X1 is $600.
I chose this avatar to better reflect my use of a smartphone (former E71, current N85).

I've been reading first hand reviews of slowness with operator (Rogers Wireless) branding. I'm aware WM6.5 ROM is available on some forum to load but I'm not experience enough to waist a $600 phone - or should I say I'm not rich enough to do that to waist a new $600 phone.

I wouldn't depend on running your X1 day-to-day with WM6.5. It's nice for previewing what is coming for Windows Mobile, but for me, it just wasn't reliable enough for day to day use. UI Response and messaging really suffered. I had to soft-reset my phone twice or more a day for it to behave correctly. With WM6.1 with r2a & r3a, I rarely have to soft-reset.

You wouldn't be wasting $600 as whatever you do is fully reversible, AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES.
I have successfully switched between ROMs on my x1 LOADS of times (probably around 25+) and always been reversible !
As one post above, check out xda-developers.com... they're the geniuses

@nv1286, thanks for the vote of confidence and reminder of XDA developers. I recall that Microsoft wanted to shut them down; or was it HTC and they backpedaled.
Your post doesn't ensure too much confidence to a newb an WMPro like me ... "AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES" means be very wary as a newb. IF I where to jump in the changing firmwares on a BB like I did back when I had the 8100 2yrs ago I'd brick it and still find a away to resolve it. Mind you it took me 3hrs to find a solution and waisted half a good futbol semi final game and lots of drinks but I did get that slow blinking RED light resolved. Plus its backed by warranty. WM doesn't support this when upgrading & downloading - only upgrading by specific release by manufacturer that licensed it.
