Some people here have said that the fonts in the Xperia X1 is very small, but that is a relative thing. So my questions is how small is small?
Is it as small as the Small Font in the SE P1i?
Is it consistently small in the menus vs windows vs IE or Opera browser?
I like small fonts as that allows me to see more text and things on one page, and quite comfortable reading small sized fonts. But as age plods on, I may find that an increasing challenge  |

You are kidding right i mean you can't be serious this user has imported into Canada a X1 from the UK gone into the settings and changed it for the bands he needs it to work on 3G/HSDPA in Canada and it doesn't work.
Common sense dictates that if SE is offering two version of the X1 and the X1a in particular to work in North America plus they have said that the X1's are quad band GSM and only dual band UMTS. That despite all the wishful thinking that the X1 would support quad band UMTS it doesn't.
I would say this users experience is more likely to be right than those hoping the X1 does support quad band UMTS which lets face it seems extremely unlikely in the cold day of light. After all this is the first person that has actually tried it and it hasn't worked. Also i have yet to hear from one user in North America that has reported it works on North American UMTS as yet which says it all really doesn't it?

Xperia X1i =
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 900/1900/2100
You don't have to test it to find out if it works on Canada. I warned them!!! b ut they went ahead and ordered.
It doesn't work in Canada with Rogers simply because Rogers works over UMTS 850
But it should work with GSM/EDGE
In USA it works on AT&T over UMTS 1900 most places
It works on GSM/EDGE.
NOTE: Despite that there are 1900 towers all over the country, that doesn't mean that there is 3G all over the country. 3G is found on all major metroplitan populated areas. (blue areas)
Check this map. it will be very easy to understand.

thanks for that.
Throw me a harder question. This is too easy
OK I need Chinese and Japanese support for email, web and need to have input too. CE-Star has it's limitations. Asukal's cabs do too and hard buttons are often disabled.
Question for you is, what do you recommend to get perfect Japanese and Chinese input? Download sites and any registry edits would be useful too.
Ofiaich 
OH! man, that's a hard question you are throwing at me. Out of my league.
I have a rule If I don't know I don't guess.
But I'm sure we have some people here that will show you the way (if it's any).
@ALL,
Can we help Ofiaich?

@dogmann,
OK after checking and checking again and despite being told that the X1 supports 850 and 1900 3G the device turned up today and guess what? It does not so I can't get Rogers 3G out here in Canada!!!!!!!
Going to the phone settings shows that the device can be switched into the correct mode but doing this seems to have no effect.
I can only guess that the device has the software to support the band but the hardware does not.
This is what you said he said. I think it's beyond belief to claim that the software would have support for hardware that doesn't exist. the firmware is designed for the specific hardware, not as a generic software. therefore I thought it not unreasonable to state that before posting that it doesn't work that he should check that he doesn't have a faulty unit.
I don't think you can say I must be kidding to say that.
As it happens penguino has explained it. Seems the guy was infact informed that it wouldn't work, but he went ahead and assumed it would. So no the unit is not faulty, but I am not familiar with Canada frequencies. Someone from Canada should be I would think, which makes it really stupid to buy a phone and not even know that it won't work.

I'm not sure about earlier versions, but yes, you can do this on all WM 6.x devices.

Hi there,
To answer some of your questions:
1. yes I'm sure you can, but being busy at work, I've not had much time with my new X1, so maybe one of the others can help. If not I'll find out and tell you later.
2. I already answered that one on the same page (393) as your original question - just scroll up 
5. Already answered also on top of page 390.
I'm sure others will chip in with help on your other questions.

Is there a way to transfer contacts from k800i to experia, I tried to send all by bluetooth but it didnt work, I cant send 1 by 1 becoz i have got nearly 400 contacts. Then i tried using my computer i uploaded the contacts on my address book but i cant seem to send it to my experia becoz i need ot have microsoft outlook which i dont have, any other way?
Had the same issue, it is a pain that Windows Mobile doesn't allow multiple Bluetooth sends, as my P990 allows me to send and receive multiple via bluetooth!
Anyway easy fix do the following:
0. Ensure your k800i is paired via bluetooth with your computer
1. Download & install Outlook Express (available free)
2. Import into Outlook Express
3. Open Address Book in Outlook Express
4. Select all contacts, right click -> Action, send to Bluetooth -> your k800i
5. Once sent - re-order address book (firstname, lastname) using program, as answered in your previous thread.
Hope that helps.

I am still waiting to get my hands on the Xperia - was a bit hesitant after my P990 experience but the positive comments have almost convinced me that SE finally got it right - with a little help from HTC and Microsoft!
I have been contemplating getting the HTC Touch Pro or waiting for the HTC Touch HD mainly because of their cool interface but the guys at XDA-Developers have ported the TouchFlo3D GUI to the Xperia and it apparently works like a charm! Those interested can check out the thread on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428351&page=9. Exciting stuff this is!
If it is to be it is up to me! |

Hi pinguino2!
I like hard questions !
don't worry all! I was just hoping for something better, with better fonts! Also no need for registry edits !
I will post here or at XDA-Developers if I find anything!

Thanks for that, looks like a good site.
I'm going to have a play around today, just haven't looked into at all due to the good olde work commitments, suppose we all have to work sometime, lol.
My initial guess is sms & alarm tones will have to be in particular music format to work (e.g. .wav or .wma - being Windows after all), and reside in the correct sounds folder. Certain use to be the case with older mobiles like my t68i.

Does anyone know of a finance tracking application, similar to Quicken or MS Money, available for WM?

This has probably been answered before, but i missed it. Does the english version of xperia come with any memory included? The swedish version has a 4gb memory card in the box, but the german version does not. |
