I have just spent a few days in a rural area with poor signal. (I am on VF but it was the same with all networks). As this was a new phone I took my P1 with me. What I noticed was that the times I has no signal on the X1 I still had 2 bars on my P1.
How is everybody else finding the signal reception?
Also I notice that when I am in a call if I hold the phone away from me, even with the call volume turned down to lowest setting, I can still hear the conversation clearly (without loud speaker on) leaving me thinking anyone near by can hear what the caller is saying. Anyone else finding this?
And how are people finding battery life? I find it quite poor, seems there is always a data link even when idle. I turn it off manualy only to find it stays on when an app uses it.
As for email, even when connected to Wi-Fi, the email client switches the 3G data link on to send/recieve.
Lastly does anyone know who to put Wi Fi and Bluetooh icons in the Now Screen of SPB panels?
Sorry if some of these are noob questions but I am a WM newbie. I realy want to to give the X1 a fair chance but so far I am just finding it harder and slower to use than my P1 and I want to see of I can change that rather than giving up.
Thanks JD

Maybe the problem is not the"bad signal" of the X1... its just that maybe the X1 is taking a frecuence that it doesnt go that far, and the p1 is picking a different frecuence which has more coverage

Hi everyone!
I want this phone fast. In Norway it's only the english version out. The Norwegian version isn't due until next year.
Now to my question: I've heard about a 3. part. WM programs that can "remap" my hardware keyboard. I want my special Norwegian letters ÆØÅ. Anyone know of any good program. I ran across the AE Keyboard Mapper, is that any good? Thanks......
Anyone?....

So please stop the hate just because you don't like it or are we all only meant to and be allowed to like the same device and functions that you value?

here, if someone doesnt like something they can hate it all they want and can express their view as much as those who like it.

*******************************************************
This is X1i - it does not have UMTS 1700 !!!!
On the second youtube video t-Mobile IS NOT connected on 3g.
It is GSM/EDGE.
FOR THE 100TH TIME: T-Mobile needs
BOTH UMTS 1700 **AND** 2100 in order to connect at 3G

I am dying to hear a few users who fnd the xperia crap.
courtesy satsuma:
"had a play with this in the office today - it was black one.
What an absolute pile of
cr@p
Fiddly to use - WinMob is soooo hopeless.
Panels are just pointless and boring - eye candy hiding the WinMob monster that lurks beneath.
QWERTY is rubbish. Tiny tiny keys with no travel...really awful.
On screen keyboard a nightmare to use even with stylus.
I hated the Omnia and the Omnia was ten times better than this.
OK I was playing with a proto...even so that cannot hide the truth.
Didn't bother trying out the camera or anything.
Saving grace...it's small and the screen is pretty hi res and clear.
If you must chuck your money at a WinMob communicator with QWERTY then try an HTC device instead, far more mature product.
If you can do without QWERTY and want a WinMob touch screen phone then go for the Omnia.
If you want a touch screen phone then choose anything from Samsung, LG, HTC, Nokia over this.
If you want a convergence device...again look at Nokia/Samsung/HTC.
Last but not least...many of the non-tech media have billed this device as SEMC's answer to iPhone.
R U 'aving a laff
No chance. The Apple device
cr@ps all over this and from a great height too.
Cannot believe this device is badged SEMC it's truly awful."
crap enough for you?

Expansys-USA has subsidized X1i's with voice and data plans in the $500-$600 range. I'm hoping they switch my UK pre-order to the USA site.
They also have the X1a announced as coming soon.

sonyericsson is repeating history with xperia .stock issues still persist and alot of xperia users have not welcomed the windows operating system on the xperia positively.i still cant forget how SE had made a fool of itself by coming out with p990i which was my most anticipated phone.i still hate nokia and crave for SE handsets but SE has just cant come out with a decent handset after the p910i.i just wish that the xperia flops bigtime and people dont burn their money rather than saving it in such a serious global recession.
Well I had a P990 and yes there were some problems there were some good aspects as well. Best call quality, nice hardware keyboard etc. I hope people getting the X1 do some homework - there are many reviews and YouTube videos. So the X1 should not be a great surprise. The best thing about the X1 is the very high build quality (and great screen). And what is this about stock issues - every O2 shop has stock as do CPW shops (UK).
Edit: and remember review of a proto is just that, a review of a proto. Proto hardware and proto software.
