What I meant by a marketing trick is that se advertizes the driver as it was only available on the x1, which is not true. Probably the same driver as the one in the latest htc phones.
btw. the ps emulator does look good. I tested an earlier version and it sucked...
Just waiting for touch hd now to decide which one to get... |

I think I just saw a pig flying outside my window 
@Dogmann, it's good to see that you are going to give the X1 a whirl around the block a few times. I'm awaiting your review too. What's ironic is that you are getting the thing before me 
I'm not going to spoil your fun by saying "I told you so", because that would be in poor taste to come on this thread and say "I told you so" after, in the past, you were so vehemently opposed to getting the X1...so, I'm not going to say "I told you so" 
Get well too! |

Well if I'm honest I'm getting it mainly due to the silly deal Voda have given me and i always like to try new devices and OS's to see what they offer. I doubt i would of spent £500 in hard cash for one.
As i will also have 14 days before i have to decide it's a bit of a no lose situation, as i have said i am not overly fond of Touch screens or WM for that matter but am eager to see what WM 6.1 and the X1 offers. That's why i couldn't resist the opportunity of seeing for myself what it delivers.

@s32bauer, cpw have given me my city link tracking code and confirmed its showing as a Saturday delivery.
I guess if they can't get it out of the warehouse in time that might change things... we'll see

I promise you and all on the Forum i have no bias or axe to grind and my review will be as i find it nothing more and nothing less.
It will of course just be my opinions based on how i find it but i am willing to quantify all i say be it good or bad if everyone else agrees with them or not is another matter.
@Jah
To be honest i much prefer Black phones to any other colour and I've just got a black rim to make my Bold all black which i also have no intention of selling anytime soon either.

Update from Carphone Warehouse.
Mine has been placed on back order. Apparently they had them in at 10.00am, and they were all sold by 12pm. Disgusting service.
Oh well, asked to end my contract so bye bye Carphone Warehouse.
I don't understand that. I got my call at 14.27 (according to the iphone logs) and not only have I got my tracking number, but it is now tracking at city link which only happens once the package is collected. Also, its showing delivery for tomorrow on the tracking
I'd be complaining in the morning if I were you, although perhaps you'd be wasting your breath unfortunately
anyway, I have tomtom 7 lined up and ready to go as well as a 16gb micro SD full of stuff and all my usual WM apps. trouble is, as it was so unexpected, I probably won't have much time tomorrow to play until the evening unless the weather is naff

looking forward to comparing notes with you hard men of the Smartphone world! I will be comparing to my Nokia E90 & TyTn II. I also have a Redfly but I don't think the X1 will work with it.
I have already got a screen protector, 2 cases and a 16GB card ready to go!

well, Dogmann has had both E90 and TyTN II whereas I have only had the TyTN II, but I have also had the Diamond and both were running WM6.1
to be honest WM, is generally WM whatever device you have so the main attraction here is the panels I suppose, and that it is 
mind you, apart from my w890 which I still have, its the only that has interested me for a while and if I'm dissapointed I can't imagine when the next will attract my attention (prob next years) as the C905 certainly doesn't do it

Well at this stage I'm sticking with an 8gb card until i decide if i will keep it or not but unfortunately can't find a Martin Fields screen protector or a PDAir book or flip case yet but I'm sure it won't be long.
Software wise I'm going to initially see how i find it out of the Box especially as Spb Mobile shells seems included. But if i like it and keep it will add Tom Tom 7 and a good Alarm Program as well as a Weather app although i think one is included and have also been looking at Handy Safe for it also.
I prefer not to have to install lots of apps and hopefully WM6.1 and the X1 should cover most of what i need out the box but once i get it i shall see.

I find the PDair screen protectors nearly as good as MFOP. Also PDair did have a book style case but withdrew it (I know as I had an order) and were going to re-introduce it at the end of Oct. We should also see, hopefully, a good (expensive) case from http://www.noreve.com
On the s/w front I will try Pocket Breeze & wheather and Agenda One. I must admit I don't like using my TyTn II as a phone but its a great connected PDA. Will see if SE have made the X1 more of a phone.

thats quite true actually, and I find I install less and less of my stuff with each WM product I get.
As a very minimum, I can't do without Garmin or TomTom (oh! I just remembered I have Garmin XT on micro SD that I used on TyTN II but couldn't use on my Diamond as it doesn't have a card slot, and I do prefer Garmin). Also resco explorer, Tube 2 and Supersnap. Spb Plus was always a priority but I'll see what the panel offers before installing that
so... just for a change, lets see who can install the least to do everything they need

Just ordered thro mobiles.co.uk. Used topcashback so £40 back and went for o2 18/12 £45pm with first 8 months 1/2 price (worth £180). Also got free Jabra 2010 bluetooth headset with promo code. Sweet!
Anyone know what colour X1's mobiles.co.uk give? Found one price comparison site that had them on and all phones were listed as black. This is what I am hoping for.
Also anyone know if you can swap the bolt on from unlimited text to unlimited web? I tried to call and check but couldn't get through but would imagine so. O2 give you a free bolt-on with £35 and above tariff. Maybe I shoulda checked this sooner. |
