No wonder: Htc touch HD, touch pro, touch dual 3G, cruise, Samsung Omnia, LG Renoir ,etc are all much better and readily found in every mall at a cheaper price unlocked, or at a minimal fraction of the price if subsidized by a carrier.
All carriers refused to offer the X1 subsidized, even though they readily give away all kind of smartphones, MIDs and netbooks (from 9 to 12 inches) to anyone signing for 6 months mobile breadband, because of reliability concerns.
A recent review on one of the most autoritative scandinavian tech blogs named the worst win mobile smartphone on the market today.
SE and HTC are quarrelling about who's fault it is that what had been heralded one year ago as a superphone turned out to be a superturd, but the only smart move SE could do to save what's left of its shattered credibility would be to recall all this pieces of overpriced junk and get to work on something that actually works.]]>Jan 26th 2009 6:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/Jan 27th 2009 5:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/
Hopefully they won't be so stupid with the X2. Glad I grabbed the Touch Pro and didn't wait for this one...]]>Jan 26th 2009 7:26PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/Not many more issues than other phones at launch, but the problem is the fact that SE waited so damn long to roll out an update.
This update better work wonders :|

Oh and warning to Vista users... The update program might screw your computer over, unless they've fixed that.]]>Jan 26th 2009 10:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/Jan 26th 2009 10:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/Jan 26th 2009 10:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-gets-firmware-update/The xperia x1 is the best phone of all
1st the best sound quality trough your headphones even better than all ipods
2nd it has a real gpu from ATI with 128mb(for this year because there are going to be real games just like need for speed and stuff.playstation 2: 32mb xbox: 64 mb so we are going to have a blast playing the games on the xperia don't see one of the competitors to the same trick)
3rd it will support 32gb sdhc i already have 16gb
of course there are some bugs here and there but we all know that at the end of the 2nd season it wil run perfect
And the price is so perfect at this moment
so my advice please check your sources before you criticise;)

1 - Bluetooth still has issues on the new FW (e.g. go out of range of a bluetooth stereo device and the phone locks up).
2 - Bluetooth does not remember the settings of the device it is connected to, so on next connect you have to manually reconfigure the x1 to use it.
3 - GPRS/Edge/HSDPA randomly fail to connect on the new FW. Which is sorta better than the old, as at least 3/3.5g connections sometimes work now
4 - Keyboard keys either do not respond, double key or tripple key. This is becoming a huge problem for me as the keyboard is now unusable. Also this is being reported by a larger number of people every day. SE response has been so fat that it is normal wear and tear and will not be repaired under warranty.

and it also connects automaticly the next time i use it
and about that keyboard i also had that problem before the update but it is fixed now
