Hardware wise the X1 is the best polished piece of equipment I have seen, much better then the Nokia E90. Shows that SE is really a hardware company. Only if SE were more like Apple in designing fully integrated devices we could have so much choice at the high-end.

The X1 is I believe made by HTC, That is why it is good Sony Ericsson build quality is generally fairly poor and they are not much of a software co either!
For all those debating the respective screen and colour qualities of the X1 it ALL comes down to just one thing, how good your eyes are!
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

@SE-Naz, hard to say about battery life after one day really, and also it spends alot of its time connected (and therefore charging) on USB while I transfer screen captures etc
I'm still trying to decide about the panels, are they gimmicky or are they useful? probably using this during the week while doing normal business activities might better answer that but most of the rest of the operating system is classic WM, so not much to say there.
its been well designed, thats for sure. While it may be HTC built, I do like the buttons and the optical joystick and the design around them to give the X (for xperia) look.
Having used the Diamond, I would probably have preferred this without the physical keyboard and with a better virtual keyboard and then I would be totally convinced, but for a first WM outing, SE (with HTC) have done a very nice job and the device feels very comfortable in the hand.
I'm finding sound could be louder as I have tried music videos that have been used on the TyTN II and Diamond are quieter on the X1.
No crashes or hangs so far, as expected with WM 6.1, and its good that SE have hidden the soft reset button under the battery cover as you really don't need it these days.
Panels can be laggy if you load a panel and expect to be able to switch to another panel immediately, but once initialised there is no lag. It seems the panels with more content have some startup time but then unless you're playing with the phone, you're not going to be changing from panel to panel every minute or two
all in all after 1 day I'm happy to accept this into my pocket

Yep, that's true. But I wouldn't worry about it, as it does have a nice bass by default.

but as always, its well worth investing in CorePlayer for this and many other benefits...

There is one things that is worse than my Sony Ericsson P1 and Nokia N82,
Wifi reception is on the bad side 
I usually have full bars with Nokia which means five bars but with X1, I only have one bar. |

@McKinley, I have a different experience but reading topics on Esato (and other forums) suggests it can be related to the actual router you are using
in my case I get full reception on the X1 (and full signal quality as shown in the wireless lan display) and this compares favourably with my my iphone shows and what I saw on my Diamond and TyTN II

no trackid or blogger functionality built in. remember this is not your typical  device, however you can use shazam for trackid and probably something else for blogging.
as for cam quality, check the Post your pictures (and videos) taken with your X1 topic
