Hi all,
Well I'm sad to report my X1 is back in it's box and reset and it's either going on E-Bay or back to VodaFone.
Now please don't misunderstand what is happening here there really is nothing wrong with it at all just a few things that i just can't get on with. The first is the really small size of text every where which i really found very annoying. I also wasn't that happy with IE or Opera and found them much slower and not as readable as on my Bold. I also was having real problems with downloading apps and getting them to install with the Microsoft Media centre to. The fact i couldn't get Seven to install so no push E-Mail was the final straw for me and i couldn't even download it via either of the browsers.
But on the whole the X1 is very fast and stable really no complaints at all on this Multimedia is also very good but I'm not sure if this is because it's Voda branded or not but certain apps access to the Web was pre configured and couldn't be changed to WiFi.
Again if you like WM and TS the X1 really is a great device it has excellent build quality and is small and light as said above the only real fault IMO and for me is the small size of all the text.
Marc

Hi all,
Just got mine, does anyone know how (if possible) you can set the X1 to receive multiple contacts via Bluetooth?
I have two phones (one for work, one for play) with mutliple entries that I need to send to my X1. I can send multiple contacts from my P990 to an old w800 phone, so surely its possible with this? Or is it a Windows Mobile restriction, to only be able to send one contact at a time? Symbian come back, if not!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

This might be a strange question. But have SE removed the PlayNow service from the Xperia? I can't seam to find it anywhere on the handset, not any mention of it on the SE website.

This X1 has me so tempted....A couple of questions for the early adopters, from a low post lurker:
How is the phone sensitivity? I've had mixed results with SE in the past, although my w810 was excellent in that regard.
Most opinions I 've read seem to indicate that the loudspeaker max volume is a little on the soft side...is that only for media playback, or during a call also?
Finally, will this EQ application

work on the Xperia?
Thanks a bunch!

So Marc in your honest opinion would you say the BlackBerry Bold is a better far superior device?

Marc, maybe its time you went to specsavers?
fortunately I already wear glasses for reading so the text size isn't much of an issue, but I can still read the second largest font without my glasses if I squint a bit!
I did suspect you wouldn't get on with the X1 though...
@Klueless
The phone is very sensitive, just this morning I upset it with something I said
No, sorry.. remember this is not a true SE and assuming your talking about call quality, its crystal clear.
volume during calls is fine, its just the media playback. next time I encode I am going to see if I can adjust the volume of the encoding to a higher level
not sure about that equaliser
@bob2k4, to implement play now on the X1 they would have had to write a whole new WM version, which they dont' appear to have done. perhaps it might come in a future firmware upgrade once they see the response to the X1 and realise its worth the effort?

@Koto
Not really sure what you mean by higher but the E90's screen really does seem much bigger which i suppose makes sense as it's 4" compared to the X1's 3" and 25% is a lot by any anyones standards.
They are both bright and clear and although the E90's is 800x352 to the X1's 800x480 it is virtually impossible to notice any difference and videos were both encoded at the same frame rate and bit rate just slightly different ratio's and looked great on both.
@Nanu
Well as I've said before one of the things i love about the Bold is the large choice of Fonts and font size and this really IMO makes a huge difference well at least it does for me. Video looks as good on the Bolds slightly smaller screen but the volume for both Music either through ear phones or the Bolds speakers is definitely louder and clearer same goes for watching Video and listening through the stereo speakers on the Bold.
The Bold is as fast and faster for certain things E-Mail is of course better implemented and the OS i found much easier to get to grips with i needed very few apps for the Bold basically just a good Alarm app and Google maps is all i needed to add. But as always what's best for me doesn't have to be for anyone else.
@Masseur
Although I'm nearly 50 i still have 20/20 vision and I'm not saying i can't read the text just that it really is very small something i mentioned when i first saw the videos of the X1. I had changed the font to the largest every where i could and IMO it is still very small. It wasn't this small on my E90 and the Bold is in a different league as there really is a Font and size to suit i would imagine all. I liked the X1 but i just couldn't see it replacing my Bold and as i said little things i find annoying but hey that's just me and I'm old and fussy now.
Marc
