Anyone know how to get rid of the panels completely? Uninstall is enough?
The panels sucks compared to running Xperia with "spb mobile shell" and "spb pocket plus". And the X-panel button could be mapped for better use..
It's a remarkable difference in response time when not running panels.
Gotta love the phone and all it features, but the panels are poorly implemented and doing more harm than use for users and SE.
Are you using 'spb pocket plus' for the scrolling capabilities?
Not very familiar with spb so wondered why you would use both...
Personally, from the video's and screen shots i've seen, spb does seem like the best 'everyday' way to use it... |

No. Not using it for smart/smooth scrolling.
I use it mainly for the Today screen configurations.
The bonuses for the file explorer are cool.
The "close button" that actually kills the apps instead of running them in the background is a nice bonus too.
I got two mainscreens now. The "Today screen" and "Now screen" configured as I want.

Sounds good mate... Screen shots would be cool!
Now I just gotta hope that the guys over at xdadevelopers sort out Blackberry Connect for it, then it could be on the cards for me! |

sony ericsson has lied me about RAM, they said 128MB RAM of 384MB RAM is for 3D chip whereas SDRAM is not VRAM OR this moment x1 is still prototype product because i heard x1 date is pushed back to end of october (weeks 44).. |

SE never lied about video ram. No SE rep ever said there was 128MB ram for video. What was said was that there was 384MB RAM. There was never any mention of video.
btw, SDRAM can be used for video, infact 90% of pc motherboards on the market have onboard video chips that utilise RAM for memory.

I believe the "3D chip" is actually built into the MSM7200a processor and not a separate chip. And there is not 128MB anywhere onboard this processor.

No wonder  are not saying anything official!
They must be praying the whole horrible RAM issue will just go away, as for la la Leigh she must be fuming, that product Mgr made such a c**k up over the amount of RAM in the X1 on the web cast.
Still its all just another day on Sony Ericsson's road to self destruction, and they wonder why they are hemorrhaging money, the reason is simple, they stick far to rigidly to their policy of only recruiting truly "clueless" people!
ps In my opinion Johnny -X and Xperiancers are a total waste of time and money especially as 16 days after the products official release you still cannot buy it! (at least not in the UK)
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Hi
The spec sheet for MSM7200 says the following:
"Up to Video Graphics Array (VGA) resolution"
( http://www.datasheetpro.com/8[....]ownload_MSM7200_datasheet.html )
That usually means 640x480 resolution.
And I have read somewhere that X1 has an extra 3D chip, I think it was from ATI.

@joel80, you can do it as standard using bluetooth or cable connection or (and I prefer this) you can buy wm wifi router as that does a good job.
I've connected my iphone and pc through wifi to my WM 3g connection with great results and will continue to do so on the X1
Thanks.. WmWifirouter seems to be the perfekt candidate.. trial works perfekt!
I don't have the option to use bluetooth or cable connection to share the connection just from my phone to the mac. SE/Microsoft hasn't relesed any drivers for that to work with a Mac yet.

Just have to tell you to get WM6 Remote Desktop if you use to connect to your computer while away from home! It works so good.. Got my whole desktop and all my programs and files directly in my phone wherever i am. Nice if you need to send/mail/find anything while away and don't have the file on your phone.
Only downsize is that it change the desktop-setting on your computer to 800x480, this makes all your icons change place and it's a bit of a mess. I have solved this by making another user on my computer that I only use with the phone to connect with.. Then I don't mess up my main user desktop.

I guess it does.. it's standard remote desktop. I have only tried with XP pro 64.
Another thing...
I hope it's only because of my extreme usage now in the beginning, but I have to load the phone 2 times ina 24h period. Hm.. Not that good.. But I guess surfing via WiFi and 3G and using Tomtom and so on is to blame.
