I was going to make this point too. How much cheaper is an unsubsidized iPhone? I thought it was $599. I got my X1 for $35 more.
Also, if the X1 was provided with the massive number of apps which the iphone has backing it (for free, not the WM trial or $$ rubbish), then there would be no question which is better.
I don't understand. There are tons of free WM apps available.
IMO, there is very little that the X1 can be criticized for, as a device (barring wm faults, of course). Mainly, I'd just want it to be faster and to have a more sophisticated mxp...
There is a new MXP panel available on XDA (doesn't work for me though). It's from the upcoming R3 ROM update.

Yeah, but I hear that this new Mxp still doesn't provide some core functionality like folder support (and is it just mine, or do other X1s also take a long time to load contacts in Mxp?). I just can't wait to see WM6.5 running on an X1 because it definately helps to remove that archaic look from alot of the basic screens (IMO). But again, what I want most is for the X1 to be faster somehow, without the need to uninstall programs.
BTW, in my opinion WM apps just don't have the support that the iPhone apps have. The freeware for WM is far less robust, and as far as I can see, much of the newer software of significant use for newer handsets (such as the X1) is 'homemade' by XDA members, etc, rather than more commercial developers. At least that's the way I see it. |

Im so glad that there may be the option of SE offering WM6.5 as an upgrade. I absolutely love the Titanium today screen (im using itjes 6.5 rom) and couldnt go back to the standard today or a panel. I have suggested to many devs on XDA to develop a Titanium plugin or panel for 6.1 - especially for the X1 as the longer screen makes it an absolute dream to use.

Hello All,
I just got my black X1i UK Vodafone and its AWESOME.
I am too lazy to go through all the post. So I've got a couple of humble questions and I am sure there would someone who could guide me in the right direction.
What if I de-brand the phone thought DAVINCITEAM? Will it make the phone much better, as this Vodafone branded is a kind of annoying?
Will de-branding/flashing make this phone unlocked?
Regards

I don't think a firmware update would fix that. It's not normal at all - you should return your phone. |

I'm using wm6.5 rom from itje... (not the latest build)...and very satisfied with it...
the most amazing things is the battery life. I think, the power management for 6.5 is better than 6.1. With 6.5 my battery can last two days !. Previously, I have to charge my phone every night (before sleep)...but now, I can charge every two days....
The only limitation is the memory consumption. The boot up memory usage for 6.5 is about 40% compared to 28% for 6.1. I think, the OS is not optimised yet for the memory management. |

First things first: write properly.
The X1 will read SDHC cards just fine. I have a 16GB card in mine and it works fine.
You should try formatting your card. Put it in a Windows or Linux PC and format it as FAT or FAT32.

okay... and I've just changed to wm6.5 RC1... and it is much much better. veryyyyy fast, smooth scrolling, fast in changing panel, fast in potrait to landscpae and vice versa. In short...its damn fast.... and the memory usage seems lower than before....
Good stuff ! |
