@Max
As i said there were a few things that i didn't really like and have found out these weren't just because it was a VodaFone X1. But although Masseur was OK with the text size he did mention that the screen although wide isn't very tall although that is partly down to the small size of the X1. It did mean i wasn't that happy with the text size and how much info was seen in either of the Web Browsers and once zoomed in showed even less info on the screen.
Also the keyboard had to much wasted space IMO why have gaps between the letters? also the keys were small and offered very little tactile feed back many times i would enter multiple entries of the same letter and need to delete them.
But once again i must stress i did think there were some great positives on the X1 just for me the negatives outweighed them. These things may not bother others but on an X1 Forum i was not the first or only person with these complaints or the only person to have sold or returned the X1. So my perception of these negatives is not unique to me.

There won't be a X1a as the X1 has all the necessary bands to works worldwide.
* GSM 850
* GSM 900
* GSM 1800
* GSM 1900
* EDGE
* UMTS tri-band 850/1900/2100
* HSPA

No I'm not going to try a Touch HD as i really am just not a Touch Screen fan neither am i getting a Nokia as currently there is nothing that appeals to me in their range either.
I have gone back to my Bold which for me and for now is the best all round device, it's 2.7" screen is crisp and bright. It's keyboard is excellent and offers all the letters and symbols i could want and are easily accessible entering data is a breeze. The Bold is better than my Nokia's or the X1 was at playing Music both in the quality it offers and volume. Video playback is as good on the Bold as the other devices although the Bold natively supports more codecs but IMO the Bolds screen is even better than the others. E-Mail is really class leading as this is a Blackberry's strongest feature and with Doc's to Go included even Documents are handled well. Also the BB OS is fast stable and very easy to learn and navigate and i have needed to add less apps to it then other OS's i have used.
It may not be the best device for everyone else but as i said for me and for now it leaves me wanting nothing and I'm happy to be back using it after just 24hrs away from it.
@Masseur
I was reading over at an X1 Forum even though that screen shows the two options that doesn't mean those other bands are actually available. But there does seem to be great confusion over this issue and no one really seems to have a definitive answer as yet just for a change.

Dogmman said: 'the screen although wide isn't very tall although that is partly down to the small size of the X1'. My question is this: Which one is taller P1 or X1 screen? It's nice to see how X1 screen is wider than P1 but which one is taller? Does somebody know the answer? |

Hi Koto,
I didn't have an P1 so can't comment but here are a couple of pictures you can see how wide or long it is in portrait but also that it is not that deep.
Hope this helps give you some idea of the dimensions and view and yes i know they are not great pictures but the best i can manage just now.

@Dogmann, yeah I've seen the confusion and I can't be certain either. But there is only one model now named X1 (rather than X1i or X1a) in the global portfolio, the model I have only says X1, and the bands it shows are the ones listed on the product page.
I was going to choose the 1900+850 band and put my aussie sim card in (so I can choose any network), but then I realised that no uk network uses either of these frequencies, so i can't test it until I head back to oz where 850 is available, but that won't be 'till after Christmas now and I'm sure there'll be confirmation by then
@Koto, here's a pic another member took

Besides watching Tropic Thunder, thats the funniest thing i seen whole week. I could imagine a whole press conference just to say no Xperia X1a. |
