I have a rough idea of how SEUS works and that's why I'm saying that it's bad, as it has several disadvantages compared to the classic WM update method via standalone offline update files.

These are enough disadvantages, me thinks 
No worries, I wasn't arguing with you, just making sure that if your concern was failed flashes due to internet connection (which I've seen people suggest before) that that particular problem would not be an issue.
I agree with you re your points, but as mass. has stated, XDA developers have already shown there shouldn't be an issue with updating or hacking X1. Besides, seen what se-nse dev's have done with SE encryption? SE's platforms are more hacked than any other excepting Motorola. I don't think there will be any issue.
note: DB3150 file system has just recently been hacked

Guys, just off the phone from O2 retention department. Currently I'm on £30/month, 200 mins, 200 texts, no data - and my contract ends 6 November. So I was really interested, what deal can they do for me. I called them on Friday, but the Xperia has not been in stock yet, so they offered me XDA Orbit2 for free instead, with my line rental going down to £20 but for 18 month contract - they don't do 12 months contracts anymore!!! I said I need a hardware keyboard, and they advised to call today. So I was hoping to get a very good deal - but it wasn't that good in the end. After long discussion with the retention lady I ended up with 18 months contract, Xperia for £99, line rental £20/month, 600 minutes, 1000 texts and unlimited internet. It's not that bad, but I was somehow expecting get the phone for free... But anyway, if your contract's due to end, give them a ring and post your deal!

I rang up O2 last night about the X1. They offered me £45pcm 18m 1200mins + 1000 txt + free web usage and insurance - handset £49.99. I couldnt be bothered to go through retentions as
a: I am not due to upgrade until April 09 so not sure how I managed to get that one through (perhaps because I am a "Select Customer" and spend alot with them)
b: My work pays my bills so not too bothered about tariff tbh.
The order was processed yesterday and in my orders section on O2 I can see the phone is now with DHL due for delivery tomorrow.
Sounds too good to be true - so will only be happy once I have the handset in my sticky palms |

I went through retentions earlier today with O2 and hoping my X1 will arrive tomorrow. I got handset for free, £27 per month for 18 months (£45 tariff with 40% discount), 1000 anytime/any network mins, unlimited texts and unlimited data.
I was pleased with this and I wasnt due upgrade until next month which was still 3 months early as Select customer.

Sorry the X1 isn't and it needs both SE and your Network to support and SE according to a poster that asked them have no plans to support it.

on the RIM site, there is a Blackberry Connect for WIndows Mobile page, but I'm not sure how (or if) you can get it

I just tried that, I'm quite far away from an upgrade. Unfortunately it did not work but he offered me the handset for £404 pounds :-|
I said I'll wait instead.

Hey, could any owners here dig up what the X1 SAR value is, in W/kg (10g). Might aswell find out. If there are frequency bands you dont need (such as UMTS, I wouldnt need it where I live, dont plan to use it either), can you switch them off? Thanks. |

Manufacturing delays said to be slowing Xperia X1 sales, according to this article.
For those who can't be bothered to click on that link, here's the article verbatim:

As you might have noticed, there's already plenty of Sony Ericsson
XPERIA X1s out in the wild by this point, but there's apparently not
quite as many as SE would like, and it's laying the blame on some
slightly mysterious manufacturing delays. According to IDG News,
Sweden, Germany and the U.K. have been hardest hit by the delays,
but Sony Ericsson isn't about to get much more specific than that
about the matter, saying simply that a lack of "certain materials" is
causing the shortages. The company has said, however, that more
phones should be shipping into Sweden in the next few days, with the
U.K. and Germany set to get additional shipments in the next few
weeks. It also says that planned launches in other countries like
Switzerland, France, and Singapore, to name a few, won't be affected
by the delays, and that the phone is still on track to be released in the
US sometime in November.

I am so annoyed that does not have accelerometer. I installed Touch HD’s 3D interface and it is a shame that I cannot use all of it abilities because the accelerometer is missing  |
