yep, but no generic UK yet
there's something happening on SEUS too as it just identified my X1 for the first time ever, though it said there was no update available

hmm i never had a problem with SEUS identifying my X1i but no updated version of the Generic_UK ROM there yet either...it is strange that SE has released an updated ROM for the Vodafone branded handsets though and not a generic one! |

apparently the new Vodafone UK ROM works if you flash it over your Generic UK X1 . . . I havent tried it yet tho, I'm having a feeling that after I flash it and go through the hassle of reinstalling everything someone is going to cook up a WM6.5 ROM or something  [already happening over at xda-developers btw] |

I have used SE update to update my swedish X1, I now have the following version:
ROM ver 1.03.936.6
Rom date 12/09/08
Radio ver 1.10.25.18
Proto ver 52.56.25.29U
Ext. ver 1.0.32167.11424
Prog-ID 1213-2274
Prog. ver R2AA006
SE update says I have the latest version (it lies..) when starting the update, but I still performed the update and now I have the latest version.
Still missing handwriting recognition though...

Don't really know yet, but it feels quicker when shifting portrait to landscape mode.
Think there's a new "Google search" feature on one of the panels (classic style Today panel), at least I can't remember it from before.
According to xda-dev the bluetooth turning off bug is fixed, hope so cause it was really annoying.
Opera is supposedly updated to.
But still no handwriting for swedish xperia.

okey thanks.
I read somewhere that the swedish xperia won't support handwriting input. But you can install the original program just as easy as any other program.
I did so.

Anybody has had luck on SEUS yet? I get only 'no update available'. No option if I want to flash anyways.

Apparently the new ROMs have
- bluetooth fixed
- updated Opera
- faster switching screen orientation
- fixed panel lag when switching between landscape and potrait
- overall system speed increase
hopefully someone at xda-dev cooks up a R2A lite ROM, removing half the unused crap [error reporting, windows help, welcome center, etc] would make the ROM operate much faster.
I really hope SE improves on the media panel, I miss having good old walkman + esp equalizer functionality

And I really look forward that SE will bring a Zoom (I know digital!) to the 3MP camera. That is ridiculous as it is. Don't understand why not more people complain about that. The camera with all its crap is just crap, and that in such an expensive camera phone!

Yes, it is strange that there is zoom for the lower resolution modes but not for 3MP.
And by the way, if you have seen my post above, I succeded to update my swedish phone with SEUS. But I don't know if it works for you (US X1a?). |

Well, actually that zoom thing was like this on the V800 and then after an upgrade and the SE unit Z800, they made the zoom available in all pic sizes. I mean its just digital anyways but it appears to me like this is not even with low, low end camera phones anymore. In my opinion SE has shown again with this alone, they SUCK big time!
As to the SEUS, there is no generic UK yet so I cannot flash and upgrade! But I cannot even REflash. Perhaps after they have put out the first firmware then that will become available. I rather flash via SEUS then those 'home cooked' rom flashes. Don't know if after such a home rom flash, SEUS would still work.
Let's cross fingers that SE will put out the generic UK n o w !

I do recommend to visit http://www.what-is-better.com to check worldwide comparing sony ericsson to others. The result is not so bad for soneric. |
