Tried some new things with my X2 today (after installing a 16GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD)
1. Play a standard divx full feature movie - worked with SE Mediaplayer but not very well with MS Mediaplayer - are there different codecs installed?
2. Connected the X2 with my Ford Mondeo bluetooth handsfree API - worked excellent also with importing contacts! (this did not work with P1i)
Have got two problems that the goood X2 support team could not help me with becaue it's standard Windows phone "features":
1. When connecting a bluetooth headset all sound goes to the headset earphones - the phone is completely silent when these are connected which is not good when you have the earphones around your neck - i miss a lot of calls...
2.It is not possible to lock the phone when in a call - the lock screen button is the same as hang up!!!
Is there any workarounds these "features" that worked with the X1?
Good to hear about DivX.
As for locking - you can at least turn off screen with power button..

Can you pls tell us if there are any issues with the phone ? Is it really slow as most of previews have stated ? Any other issues ? I am considering buying this phone, however not before I read several USER reviews here! |

Didn't seem that positive
Conclusion:
We were pleasantly impressed by the Xperia X1 when it rolled out, so we just could not wait to take a closer look at its successor. We had to wait for more than a year until our wish came true and as time went by, our expectations hit the ceiling. Now, when we have examined the handset in details we feel disappointed at its performance. It is merely a jazzed up version of the X1, but not a worthy successor. Aside from minor improvements to its overall design and panel interface, the Xperia X2 doesn´t offer anything new, there is nothing about it to wow us. Was it worth waiting for? No. Does it deserve your attention? Only if you are looking for a handset that is more exotic than its Windows Mobile brethren.

Well but at the same time:
Design 8.5
Display 9
Camera 8.5
Sound Quality 8
Battery 9
Connectivity 9
Multimedia 6.5
Organizer 9.5
So in the end besides "multimedia" quite a decent one.

GSM Arena got there review out today, too. They say it's kinda laggy and just too old hardware.

I still cannot understand what happened with this device. It's like a neonatal death. The X2 was nice designed, had a lot of improvements (screen size, better camera and qwerty keyboard, accelerometer) but incomplete improvements. It has the good codec to read divx but doesn't have the processor, the ram to do so. 
They should create a X2s (s stands for steroids) with a snapdragon processor, 512Mb Ram, at least 8Gb Rom. |

I've read a lot of things today concerning the launch of the X2 in France.
http://www.itespresso.fr/xper[....]s-windows-mobile-65-33404.html
http://www.lesmobiles.com/act[....]-xperia-x2-est-disponible.html
Take a look at the processor: a snapdragon at 768Mhz...
Is that possible that SE changed the processor at the last minute??
ps:Another possibility is that all french journalists smoke marihuana
