Hi all,
I've spent a bit of time today looking at topics on the website
http://www.xperiax1.net/ and found some good Win mobile 6 programs, and good advice.
Top two:
1. utility to change multi-threaded messaging to single-standard view. Some might like the Windows continuous feed, but I like to delete messages I no longer need. Must be the house-keeping IT person in me, lol. For those interested it's called "settings+" and can be downloaded from
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-settings.html
2. For vodafone users: You CAN easily get rid of the Vodafone Live panel, if you so wish. I'm not too bothered by it at the moment, but apparently when it's gone internet access is even faster. There is a set of steps but someone has written a .cab to do the tricky bits and replace it with the google panel. Obviously you'll have to be careful re:warranty, but this guy has thought of that and backs up the Vodafone live panel, so you can replace it, so it's all good. If you want to know how, I'll put it here, but had to shutdown my laptop earlier, so can't remember exact link.
Slowly customising and finding my way, next thing to find out: a way to use mp3's for text message alerts. Ringtones are easy.
BTW to increase the size of the font on Opera Browser, just double tap the screen, found out by accident, lol.
Chris
Not only that, the panel is a software thing - anything a cab file can do to your phone, a master reset can undo. There is no modification to the firmware installed on ROM.

@masseur,
if you've updated your TyTN II to 6.1 then really the difference is screen size/resolution, panels and overall size.. and the fact its and the quality of build and feel is excellent
thanks, as regards the TyTn II, I don't think the overall size is that different, because I held them side by side today, but I do take your other points on board.
@norti
TytnII is plastic, X1 is metal (almost). X1 has 800x480 resolution, Tytn 320x240. X1 has more RAM, etc. I don't get the question?! O.O
Why don 't you get the question ? X1 vs TyTn II
but, in your opinion, why is it ( the Xperia X1 )so much better?
I think easy question !
@pinguino2
thanks for that.
Throw me a harder question. This is too easy
OK I need Chinese and Japanese support for email, web and need to have input too. CE-Star has it's limitations. Asukal's cabs do too and hard buttons are often disabled.
Question for you is, what do you recommend to get perfect Japanese and Chinese input? Download sites and any registry edits would be useful too.

You are kidding right i mean you can't be serious this user has imported into Canada a X1 from the UK gone into the settings and changed it for the bands he needs it to work on 3G/HSDPA in Canada and it doesn't work.
Common sense dictates that if SE is offering two version of the X1 and the X1a in particular to work in North America plus they have said that the X1's are quad band GSM and only dual band UMTS. That despite all the wishful thinking that the X1 would support quad band UMTS it doesn't.
I would say this users experience is more likely to be right than those hoping the X1 does support quad band UMTS which lets face it seems extremely unlikely in the cold day of light. After all this is the first person that has actually tried it and it hasn't worked. Also i have yet to hear from one user in North America that has reported it works on North American UMTS as yet which says it all really doesn't it?

Some people here have said that the fonts in the Xperia X1 is very small, but that is a relative thing. So my questions is how small is small?
Is it as small as the Small Font in the SE P1i?
Is it consistently small in the menus vs windows vs IE or Opera browser?
I like small fonts as that allows me to see more text and things on one page, and quite comfortable reading small sized fonts. But as age plods on, I may find that an increasing challenge

Xperia X1i =
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 900/1900/2100
You don't have to test it to find out if it works on Canada. I warned them!!! b ut they went ahead and ordered.
It doesn't work in Canada with Rogers simply because Rogers works over UMTS 850
But it should work with GSM/EDGE
In USA it works on AT&T over UMTS 1900 most places
It works on GSM/EDGE.
NOTE: Despite that there are 1900 towers all over the country, that doesn't mean that there is 3G all over the country. 3G is found on all major metroplitan populated areas. (blue areas)
Check this map. it will be very easy to understand.

OH! man, that's a hard question you are throwing at me. Out of my league.
I have a rule If I don't know I don't guess.
But I'm sure we have some people here that will show you the way (if it's any).
@ALL,
Can we help Ofiaich?

@dogmann,
OK after checking and checking again and despite being told that the X1 supports 850 and 1900 3G the device turned up today and guess what? It does not so I can't get Rogers 3G out here in Canada!!!!!!!
Going to the phone settings shows that the device can be switched into the correct mode but doing this seems to have no effect.
I can only guess that the device has the software to support the band but the hardware does not.
This is what you said he said. I think it's beyond belief to claim that the software would have support for hardware that doesn't exist. the firmware is designed for the specific hardware, not as a generic software. therefore I thought it not unreasonable to state that before posting that it doesn't work that he should check that he doesn't have a faulty unit.
I don't think you can say I must be kidding to say that.
As it happens penguino has explained it. Seems the guy was infact informed that it wouldn't work, but he went ahead and assumed it would. So no the unit is not faulty, but I am not familiar with Canada frequencies. Someone from Canada should be I would think, which makes it really stupid to buy a phone and not even know that it won't work.
