On my Black X1 from VodaFone it was really hard to get the battery cover off and it certainly wasn't loose far from it was my experience.
@the_mont
I think the reason your backlight is always on is due to what you have selected as your option in 3.
I found battery life to be OK but then didn't have it for very long but really didn't like the way the X1 decided how it would handle Data connections at all despite what i wanted.

Hi Marc,
Apologises, I ment Backlight is set to "auto adjust", where "Turn off backlight if device is not used for" = 1 min. So not always on.

Generally if something is very cheap (eg. cheaper than you expected) and its from somewhere you've never heard of before, avoid it at all costs.

I have a rough idea of how SEUS works and that's why I'm saying that it's bad, as it has several disadvantages compared to the classic WM update method via standalone offline update files.
1. You can't update your device on any PC, but need to install SEUS first.
2. Although download and update are two separate stages, you still need an internet connection, since SEUS initalizes & connects to the SEUS servers first, because it checks the connected device each time you start an update process, before proceeding with (the download and) the update process, regardless if you already have the latest firmware files on your PC (from an earlier update process) or not.
3. Another disadvantage of SEUS is that it reads you CDA (or SPL in this case) and determines, if a suitable update is available or not (this is actually the same story as with GW vs. branded or localized CDA's on UIQ phones). So X1 users will need some geniuses in order to find a way to trick SEUS, so that they can download & flash the version they want.
4. You can't switch back and forth between older and newer ROM versions.
5. If SE has disabled the usage of offline installers, so that X1 users are forced to update their devices via SEUS, they won't be able to flash customized (cooked) ROM's, as those are only available as .exe files.
Long story short, you don't have the freedom of updating your phone where you want, when you want and how (to which version) you want.
These are enough disadvantages, me thinks

Ouch that is quite painful if you can't even used the power of WM because of SE. Limited in using ROMS. Is there anyway we could do a standalone installer or offline installation like other WM??

there's no way they can completely lock down the firmware, not yet.... maybe in WM7 but we'll have to wait and see
All it takes is someone to provide a modified hard SPL (as they have to with most other WM's, especially branded ones which can't be updated unless you do that)
once thats done you can use any firmware you choose and I'm sure XDA developers will provide the
ROMs on their site, so you will almost certainly have the choices you seek
edit: indeed you can already get many X1 rom images over there

I would rather they stuck to the standard SEUS update procedures.
Many X1 owners are going to be new to WM & will have enough to take on aboard without some overly messy update procedure.
I for one if I get an X1 would expect any updates to be supplied in a standard way, the more the X1 can get away from WM the better, be it by hiding the OS or by adopting a more normal update procedures.
For me buying an X1 would be a case of buying it inspite of it being a WM device not because it is WM device.

Good then, I thought that SEUS is the only option.
An X1 version of HardSPL should be out soon then.
@Super Chimp
The usage of offline installers is as easy as SEUS imo, if not even easier.
And better and faster..
