I have a question about the diffrent color-versions.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1/
take a look at the buttons...xperia-button, ok-button etc.
the font-color is white.

in other pictures the font-color is more gray.....

are there different versions?

Is there a video out there giving a demo of the X1 LED displays, flashing light for text message, flashing light for incomming call etc ? Would like to see how this works !!

Some pictures, like the one you linked to, are Photoshopped.

@borisisinvin, actually I could agree with you about media player panel, maybe they do have memory leak. I'm going by my experience with the media player on A200, which although a completely different platform, also uses a shitload of system resources and is a bit buggy. I actually use KD Player since the media player is so buggy. I use KD Player for music and the filemanager itself for video and images. I rarely touch the media player.

The media player implementation on A200 doesn't give me a lot of confidence in SE's effort on the media panel. My impression is it's bloatware. On both A200 and X1.

It doesn't sour the X1 for me personally since I plan to use TCMP (freeware)or the payware Core Player (if TCMP won't run). With a phone such as WM I tend to expect to have to source my own software anyway so it's no issue to me if the inbuilt stuff is no good. Hell, I've never used Windows Media Player on my desktops or laptops either!

@ Max, yeah there is SO much wrong with the Media Panel, that I could sit here and make a very long list of everything that is wrong with it that would probably take up a whole comment page filled with just bugs and issues... I on the other hand really enjoyed and never personally had any problems with the Sony Walkman Player software on my W850i (a *edit* A100 *edit* platform phone), actually while on that subject of that I quite personally enjoyed it for the year or so I owned it and exclusively used it as my primary MP3 player (I haven't owned a iPod in over 3 years now I think?...), so hopefully now you can impart understand my high hopes for the Media Panel and as a result the huge disappointment I now feel with SE's implementation on the X1 because of all of this?...

On a different note, what has everyones experiences been like so far with Way Finder and Way Finder Earth Beta? I have to say that both pieces of software are horrible, with the latter slowing down (I suspect) and rendering my phone almost useless! I'd really like to give Way Finder an honest shot, however it's both super buggy and has only opened one out of every five times I've tried to open it so far... I also downloaded the Earth Beta (like I mentioned above) on Way Finders site while getting Way Finder to give it a try, and seriously thought something was wrong with my phone afterwards since trying to open it to try it out on my phone rendered it super slow and almost unusable! I've since removed Earth (after two failed attempts at first to try remove were met with a beach ball of death each time, succeeding on the third), and haven't had any of the problems I mentioned above on my X1 since... I'd tell anyone looking for turn-by-turn navigation to stay VERY VERY far away from Way Finder Earth Beta, since it's the devil IMO. What about just regular old Way Finder btw, anyone had any success with it, or used it for an extended amount of time?... Is it just my phone that it mostly refuses to work on? What software does everyone here use for turn-by-turn navigation on their X1s?...

Boris
W850 is an A100 (JP-7) phone like the K800, the 1st A200 Walkman was the W910.

Oh man, do you really want to know? Ok, here it all goes all of the stuff wrong with the Media panel off of the top of my head:

* It won't recognize any of my playlist but one.
* It refuses to play any songs from anything other than the "track" list category, meaning that when you go to the "artist" or "album" list category and hit "menu" and then "hit play all by artist or album" it won't, it acts like it's about to and instead goes to a blank screen and plays nothing.
* Like mentioned above, when you do the above, but navigate further down to a specific song and try to play a specific track it does what I mentioned above.
* After turning it off and then restarting it the volume decrease by an increment of one each time (if you never re-adjusted it, it would eventually be at zero after constantly closing it and re-opening it) making you adjust the volume manually to the "perfect" setting you had it at before closing the Media Panel.
* When listening to music over the loud speaker and hitting the "turn off" phone function using a short button press of the power button (to you know, conserve battery power) often times causes the phone to stop playing music over the loud speaker all together (but not when connected to a device using a Stereo Bluetooth connection?)...
* When connected to a stereo bluetooth enabled device the panel won't recognize and accept AVCRP commands.
* Disconnecting from a stereo bluetooth enabled device, even after you've hit "stop" on the player, causes the device to re-start the song you were just listening to over the phone's loud speaker (hope you don't like to rock out to someone like Celine Dion privately in the car, because that shit could be embarrassing while trying to get out of the car while parking next to the cutey ;p ). The only way to avoid this is to completely exit from the panel by pressing the "panel" button...
* Often times while listening to music streaming over a stereo bluetooth connection the music will inexplicably start to play super fast (think Alvin and the Chipmunks) and loudly...
* The Stereo Bluetooth connection will often disconnect itself from your device after a phone call (a noted bug that requires morts script to fix).
* There is no way to mannually innitiate a stereo bluetooth connection to a stereo bluetooth enabled device from the X1 itself (a problem more with WM I think), soooo if you have a device that you want to use to listen to music over that can't initiate the connection itself you're SOL.
* Something that I've now noticed is that when sometimes navigating panels, specifically either from or to the Media Panel, the phone will lock-up...

I know that there are more bugs and stuff wrong with the Media Panel, but that's all I can come up with atm off the top of my head. As you can see from my list above there is a lot wrong with it imo that definitely makes the Media panel an inconvenience and pain in the ass to use in it's current state. It definitely feels like a piece of half assed beta software that SE rushed out the door to make their ever shortening window. Hope this helps you out. To anyone else that's used it and experienced any of my problems I have and more please feel free to add to this list with any of the bugs you've experienced that I may have forgotten about.

Lol,

thanks.
A lot, although I don't use Bluetooth headphones at all, so I will not cry for some of the problems.
Actually, Bluetooth implementation seems quite problematic for most WM devices....
Thanks anyway!

P.S. It doesn't recognize your playlists, but which? Created on the PC or in the X1?
