Hi all,
Well hopefully my X1 should arrive sometime within the next 7-17 hours and what i am most interested in is just how good Music and Video is on the X1.
I have today converted 4 TV shows to 800x480 in Mp4 as believe converting to the correct ratio always produces the best results. My Music is already in 256kbps AAC which the X1 is meant to support and how well it handles both of these will be of importance to me.
Sorry but i really am loath to have to shell out $30 to watch Video's or listen to Music as feel it should be totally unnecessary. Especially as my Bold handles both of the above perfectly even my E90 handled Video perfectly but was lacking as a Music Player which is why i didn't use it for Music.
I will be adding the Seven Free Beta E-Mail app so i will still have my Push E-Mail as it was on the E90 and comparable to the Bold. Especially as i really haven't liked any of the implementations of Windows Live and it doesn't push your Mail either.
Also as it comes with SPB Shell that IMO solves the need for some additional apps although i am looking at Handy Safe for WM and possibly a custom Alarm app dependent on how good and flexible the built in app is. I may also consider adding Resco Pro Keyboard if i decide i will prefer using the on screen keyboard to the slide out one. I may possibly look at Tom Tom later on but currently am finding Google Maps even though it doesn't have voice guidance is actually more than good enough for my needs and far less intrusive IMO so may just stick with it.
In regard to this i have a question is it possible to change orientation to Landscape without having to slide the Keyboard open?
@MWEB
I know what you mean as the Bold being my first Blackberry really has won me over at just how fast and stable it is. It may not be overly flash but it really is extremely fast and functional and unlike previous BB's is about much more than just Push E-Mail with Doc's to Go and great Music and Video playback it really is an excellent all round device IMO.
I will be comparing the X1 to both my current device the Bold and my recently sold E90 performance wise.
Marc

Yes, you can. From the system settings it's possible to rotate the screen, and if you want you can dedicate one of the two keys beneath the screen for this purpose.

This post didn't get much attention I believe. But since it's rather important to me, I'll post it again.

Can you try to send mail with it. I think they need to be at least 10k in size. Preferably a little bigger.
That's actually the only thing that really bothers me at the moment. It's most likely a bug. But I'm not sure if it's only the phone that gives me trouble, or if it has anything to do with my mail-provider.
I have the mail account set up in exactly the same way on my PC, and it works perfectly well there.
The trouble I have on the X1 is that only a part of the mail is sent. I tried sending a 32 kB mail, but only 12 kB was received in the other end. It contained two attachments, which wasn't delivered, and half of the text was truncated.

T-MO in the usa version?
I don't know who to believe. But in the X1i rev iew Modaco mentioned that the USA X1a. will suport AT&T and T-mobile.
I'm with AT&T but i'm glad for the T-mobile community. If that is true Xperia can build a larger follow up in USA, which is great for everybody.

Anyone can confirm or know better? WhyBe? Gforce23?
Well, if you don't specify 3G, then yes the X1i and X1a will work on T-Mobile. BengalBoy has had T-Mobile all along and he says his X1i works fine (but he couldn't test 3G, of course). In the C&J version he just received, there is a frequency setting for the T-Mobile 3G frequency (I think around page 37 or so of his X1 review). I don't know if that band is functional or not, but it may be a sign of things to come in the X1a. |

Did you miss the reply I gave which was the very next post after the one you repeated where I said...

@Dogmann, I'm guessing you'll find your music and video experience much the same as on the TyTN II and no, you don't need to spend any extra money unless you want such features as equaliser and the other nice to have things (youtube etc) that coreplayer offers

Marc the answer is yes!. The two keys above either call buttons can be configured to do many different funtions including rotating the screen without opennng the slideout keyboard. Their function does not relate to the two options that appear at the bottom of the screen depending what screen you are as in soft keys (these options are obviously selected by touching the screen itself), so their function is totally independant of the app you are in and is assigned by you.
Hope this helps
JD
Ps can you are anyone else reccomend a good Calendar App? Thanks

Anyone know if the Vodafone X1 phones are locked or unlocked? I'm thinking about bidding on a vodafone x1 on ebay but the seller doesn't know if it's sim free or not. Thanks in advance |

I'm very sorry. Yes I completely missed it. I guess I was too focused looking for a post addressing me by name. This was somewhat embarrassing.
Anyway, I tried sending that file too, and it worked fine. So could you help me out further by adding a lot of text to the mail body. Let's say 5-10 kB of text, and a small attachment to that. I would appreciate it a lot. And I will pay more attention to following posts. 
Regards,
Michael

Just checked the Carphone Warehouse website. For a few days, they have been advertising the X1 as a free handset, on a £45 p/mth contract.
It seems that this is is now not enough money for them, they have now changed it to £49.99 handset on a £45 p/mth contract

Crikey, I hope not for everyone's sakes, video (in particular) was definitely NOT the strong suit of the Tytn II, in fact it was a major weakness of that model. If it's not a very different experience on the X1 then something is very wrong somewhere!
PS - I have my iphone now. I already can't imagine why anyone would want any Windows Mobile phone (despite owning one myself for the last year..)

Now I think about it, I'm judging that based on playing the same music videos I played on the TyTN II with XDA developers cooked firmware which I understood improved the graphics performance over the standard drivers, but I'm huessing Dogmann didn't try any of that.
In my opinion the X1 plays just as well as that, if not slightly better
however, I'm like you, I wont be using the X1 for much multimedia entertainment as its 1000% superior on the iphone

Yes.. works fine.. except all icons on your desktop of your PC is squeeced in at a 800x480 space.. and remain that way after disconnecting. So you have to re-arrange them. I solved this by making a new user on my PC that I use when i connect remotly. Then i have my "own" icons with the X1.
I have also got Wake On Lan to work.. hehe.. so I can wake my PC up from my phone if I forgot to start it.
edit: You have to download a remote desktop client for it to work.. but it's free.
