Ive been talking to a guy who have the retail version of Xperia X1.

This was the last he said about it:
"It feels like a porche with beetle engine, slow speed but looks good"

So, is it true?

Hello,

Well today hands on a Xperia.


Interface:
3 / 5 - Feels pretty dated. The menus are somewhat tough and it takes its time in the beginning, before coming into the way to work. Pretty neat for a while but it feels like that this phone has to grow for a time before you become friends with it.

Camera:
3.2 MPX. Had hoped that it was 5mpx when most others have it. But quite ok picture.

Screen:
Press feature is quite ok. FINALLY has gone from the screens that feels like "double stocks" as my old P1 has.

Keyboard:
Yes, you should not have clumsy fingers. Reger quite ok. Good to write on. Nice. Have metal edges on the side, feels solid. Wonderful feeling when it folded out keyboard.

Peel / Casing:
Metal / plastic. Feels sturdy! The pen is probably the best (and most handsome) pen so far on the Sony Ericsson front. NOTE: Stop NOT the battery the wrong way, turned it up and down the first time. Is that not a direct function of the puzzle as it is usually found.


Headset:
Finally a robust headset with 3.5 mm plug -> use their own headsets

Questions?

Yes, the panels put and I have not had to menus that I vill.Jag van then G900 is that you need icons. On this view, more like pages (bad expression) that you click on. If my ex. GOOGLE-select the image (web-browser, so skip it until after about 2 seconds. Then freeze it (the picture looks blurred out) while it loads. Like to see without glasses - a bit blurred. then it will. Is _not_ impressed by scrolling function between menus. Similar vista a little careful when scroll between them, but you can sloooww. not sync.

The memory card, which sits in is a SanDisk 4 gb, micro. located under the fold of the page. I think many will criticize the fold, right, it is nice - but it will break. There are as nothing to the hectare stuck in the phone except for two small metal buds. They will break

Can not say how much the framework of its o I have not found so far. Is to scroll through menus and understand GUI't as we speak.

I have not come that far yet. So it MUST be able to switch to the icon menu. These "menus" makes me crazy! They are not user-friendly and it is most like trying to make it more graphically than functionally appealing. I will not use this phone. Stick to my iPhone.

I agree. Feels when I use it as either 1) the first software version must be updated. I give it maybe 2-3 months before it feels driveability. 2) Sony Ericsson made the water over their heads when they are running Windows Mobile. I think we won more on running the Symbian. This feels like a Porsche with beetle engine. It goes slowly, but it looks good.

I must give praise to Sony for one thing. The steering plate. Took a while before I discovered it, but the biggest button on the bottom of the display functions as a touchpad - nice! Something to emulate Apple's side perhaps?

God, don't you just hate Bengalboy's site? Awful...how is that guy scoring SE phones all the time, pre-launch.

Being a small subset of Esato users that are Americans as we are, this is surely a development to get excited about. I remember some readers here and on HowardForums reporting about the SE.com specs changing hourly as to what bands were present on what model, as of a few days ago. What would be the reason for this?
I also find it hard to believe that at THIS stage in the game they are adding bands? This stuff gets finalized well before going to production -- how could they be adding bands? Do these so called penta-band chips even exist?
It sure is a lot to hope for, and it'd be completely unexpected and a nice surprise if the phone did come out of the box with these bands enabled... but that doesn't answer 'why' or 'how'...
