I bought it on eBay, so I'm stuck with it, receipt or no receipt. Whatever the case I won't inconvenience myself anymore by sending it back to the retailer in HK in exchange for another one that I'm sure will behave exactly the same way. I honestly don't think it's just my phone, I now honestly think it's both a combination of WM and SE's panel implementation. At this point it is what it is... I'm stuck with it, and I'll deal with it until something better comes along, which hopefully is soon. I just hope that someone out there benefits from our dialogue, whatever way they decide to go with their purchase. Whatever the case, I now DEFINITELY know that WM is not for me and never will be, it's as simple as that. To everyone else who is fine with what they got and happy with their purchase, more power to you!

@boris, please don't believe that crashing is a daily occurance of WM or X1. It simply isn't true, and if your phone is experiencing this don't let it colour your perception of X1 or WM. Perhaps it was put on ebay BECAUSE someone else got stuck with your lemon and passed it on to you. Those are the risks of buying on ebay.

You may be jumping to the conclusion that the crashing is due to it being WM because of the myth sprouted by many non-wm users about WM being crashworthy - but the fact is that ever since PPC2003 or so, and especially WM5, the windows mobile platforms have been quite stable. It's only those with no real world experience of WM who keep spreading this myth around (you get it a lot from s60 users with secret envy of touchscreens ....)

btw, have you done a firmware reset? this might help with your handset.

Regarding the contacts, you can actually do all that via the ok button and dpad, it's really only in third party applications you should need resort to stylus use. It's just a matter of getting to know the OS. You are gonna need to do this anytime you start using a new phone os. WM IS more complicated and takes more time to get to know it's idiosyncracies, however it's far more functional than you give it credit for.

If it's too complicated and you don't like it fair enough, but be careful you don't let your inexperience colour you perception of a device you may actualy end up liking a lot if you give it a chance to become familiar with it.

Just got my X1 guys.


Playing with it, installing apps, customizing, etc etc.

Extremely fast and no lags, no freezes, nothing.

I had to decide between the Touch HD (+100 USD) and X1 and it was not a hard decision for me

The HD is nice but too plastic + no keyboard...

Great, keep us informed,
What I'm interested in is how it will behave after few weeks.
As Michal from MySymbian pointed, his X1 slowed down after some time and many installments/uninstallments.

Thanks dominik.

And ok, I'll revert with my thoughts after a few weeks, while I'm almost sure, that it'll be in the same condition.

You have to consider whether it was the third-party apps or WM itself that slowed things down.
