Hi all,
I am not one to be easily impressed (as IT is my day-job) so when I say TouchFlow is the best skin I've ever seen, I'm not joking!
I installed it this afternoon (be warned it takes about 30 mins to install) and if SE used this skin/panel as the default, they would sell out of this phone!
Those who haven't yet seen the youtube demo or downloaded it, trust me give it a go. You can switch it off/uninstall it if you're not as impressed as me. Best way I can describe it - is its the closest you'll see to the impressive Mac interface.
Download it from:

I wasn't too sure about the panels and I won't be using them at all for now anyway...
Chris

I don't seem to be able to recive any big MMS-pics. All is downcoverted to something like 176x220 and is like a thumbnail on the screen! I have tried to send from diffrent mobiles and diffrent carriers. Same result no mather what..
Sending without changing the pics, and have tired to downsize it to 640x480 as well, still end up with the super-small one.
Anyone got any idea? The MMS-setting in my phone is on the largest image, and that probably is only active when sending MMS, not recieving.
Im having the same problem, Im on o2, i have sent pic msgs from tmobile voda and from o2 but no luck. I have spoken to o2 about it and they dont know anything.
Pic message is very important to me i reveive atleast couple a day. Is there any .cab to make it bigger

Chris thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, it was really useful to hear that Wi-Fi was unusable on VF branded devices...sounds like VF firmware strikes again!
As you are another VF user did you also notice that there is no English version of WAYFINDER on the enclosed disk? Wondering if this was just a VF issue or just a me issue. (I did download it from a website however...www.getwf.com for those that may have the same problem)
Lastly and most importantly to me thought is the signal, can you or anybody else report on the reception level. My own experience is that in a poor reception area I was getting 2 bars on my p1 whilst getting nothing at all on the X1. I have 7 more days to decide to keep it or not so I am really interested to know if anybody else has an issue with this. I don't want my desire to like and want this phone to blind me to a short coming such as bad reception. I work for the emergency services and at times it is critical I have a phone that gets good reception.
Thanks JD
Hi JD,
I didn't open the wayfinder CD, I always leave those kind of things unpacked and in the box, just in case I want to sell/return it. I always download stuff from the web, like yourself.
Also I have loads of USB cables from other devices, so in my box - it's just like new, lol.
The reception level is an age old problem, with vodafone anyway. It's all to do with the 3G network. By default all calls "piggy-back" off the 3G network. To test it was the same with this phone, I've just tested it by switching the network to "GMS", the signal bars improved immediately to full bars
.
So if you don't need the 3G network, switch it off by doing the following:
1. click on the signal bars at the top of the page
2. clck on the "Settings" option
3. goto the "Band" tab at the bottom of the screen
4. select "GSM" rather than "Auto"
5. click "ok" at top of screen, and that's it
BTW - a warning message will be displayed, about limiting your available services, etc... Dismiss that.
Only problem I've seen so far, is the Opera Browser wants the 3G network on to work for some reason... haven't got time to look into it now, but will report back later, if someone else doesn't.
The IE browser still works fine, so it must be a setting somewhere.
Sooo put your Xperia box in loft, where mine is, as you won't be returning it just yet
.
Chris
p.s. install TouchFlow, and you'll not look back, trust me

Do you have them in a folder named Scandinavia or West Europe or something like that directly on the memorycard? You need to have the folder directly in the rot of the mem-card.. not in a subfolder.

JD,
Ignore my bit about Opera Browser, it's sorted itself out, so no problems reported... so far, as I've left 3G off.

Damn it! I thought I had the problem fixed.. downloaded the mss-settings from my provider again and sent a MMS from my old phone, recived it in full screen..
Tested from a friends phone and then it was back to the small one.. sended the same one that I got in full screen from my old phone again and then it was small! What the hell is happening??
