1.I respect your opinion even some of them sound ridiculous especially when commenting about the color of the hardware keyboard.

2. some people like touch flow concept and some like panels. I've used touch flow as one of the panel long time ago and now, it isn't in my 9 panel list anymore. I have to give priority to othe panels. Man, now I feel 9 panels are not enaough !.

3. Ease of use, personilizing, customizing are down to the windows mobile characteristics rather than xperia attributes. Panels are the easiest way of personilizing the phone with two touch: 1 click for the x panel button and another touch for selecting the required panel.

4. one of the reason why I dont like touch flow is too much scrolling to get what you want. this maybe why one of the panel I frequently use is SE panel where I can acceess all the frequently used application with one touch (i.e. sms/email, calendare, task, vibrate function, contacts, opera, tomtom, music player)...all within one touch. To me, there is no question regarding ease of use. what more can you ask when you can access everything with one touch.

5. the default onscreen winmo keyboard is small. for this reason, I install finger keyboard. I really hope, this type of keyboard should be bundled together by default.

6. the icons are big enough for lare fingers. I'm referring to icons under SE panel or SPB panel. Unless your fingers are as big as hulk.

7. Maybe some people don't like stylus and to some, stylus is last generation. But I like stylus and one of the reason I don't like iphone. Why I want stylus ? hee, I like to draw caricature on my phone to kill time. There is one time, my friend use my phone to create a signature and use this signature for all his word document letter. You can't draw (for example: a direction map) without stylus.

8. In the beginning I thought, I'm the only one who like the panel concept, but recently when I see a lot of people requesting SPB mobile shell 3.0 to be made as panel option (in spb forum and xda forum), I realise there are a lot of people prefer panel. looking from the response, I beleive the panel is not a gimmick anymore.

9. I think there must be a reason why xperia is voted as the most preferred winmo phone in the xda poll. The poll is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362 . Xperia is leading all the way from the beginning.

p/s: this whole reply was written on the xperia phone using the hardware keyboard.

@MyP910

I have the same opinion. Xperia is by far the best phone I had, and it is a small laptot, not just for braging to friends. I laugh when I read other comments and wonder how it is possible that people feel their opinion is the ultimate fact.

Read this with interest.

Anyway. Since You seem to have some experience with both the X1 AND HTC Touch pro now I have a few questions. Ofcourse anyone who knows the answer please respond aswell.

You switched from X1 to HTC. What do you think of Samsung's Omnia? The WM-version (not the Omnia HD). Because I'm torn between either going for the X1 or the Omnia which can be had for a pretty good price nowadays.

I've already read the various reviews about it. So I know it takes great pics. The 600MHz cpu is as fast as a 500MHz cpu (in e.g. HTC Touch), it also has another touch-friendly layer on top of WM6.1, etc...etc...

Now the real questions.

1) In dumb SE-phones whenever an SMS arrives with a number in it. They are treated as phone numbers and you can dial them immediatly without jotting them down, switching to phone-mode and inputting them again. Is there a similar feature in those WM-devices or do you use copy-and-paste. Is there a copy-and-paste function at all in X1 or other WM devices?

2) Can the LED-light be used as a flash (on X1 I guess because the HTC doesn't have a LED)? I previously had a K750i (and currently a K550i) and I absolutely NEED that light sometimes. If someone knows whether this is also possible on the omnia (which does have a LED-flash) also let me know please?

3) I currently have in Office Outlook 2 adress-books (with categories set to divide family from friends from colleagues). Is it possible to use multiple contactlist in the X1 (or other WM-devices for that matter)? Or can I put everything in one adressbook and use the categories function to separate business contacts from personal/family-contacts? Which is NOT possible currently with ,y dumb-SE phone. It has neither the categories-separator nor the ability to have multiple adress-books.

Thanks in advance,

EPDM

1) Yes, there's copy'n paste.
The number in sms or note can be dialed instantly.

2) Yes, with 3rd party free app.
But it cannot be used for too long - there are cases of melting leds, led misplacement and vibrator - damage.

3) AFAIK no categories/folders in contacts.
But the VIEW can be filtered by name, company and last viewed.

number2,
I find the speaker of x1i to be better than touch pro.

#3) Yes, contacts can be organized into user-defined categories. This is a standard feature. So you can define different groups of people. Using call manager software you can have separate call behaviors for each category such as hangup, send an sms, reject to voicemail, etc.

The calendar app also uses these same categories that you create.
