@ MyP910, where did you get TomTom 7? I've scoured the internet for it and can't seem to find it? I'm not necessarily looking for warz (moderators) btw, and honestly wouldn't mind paying for the software, provided it works as advertised on my X1.... Any help you could offer would be great. I also haven't had a lot of luck finding NA maps btw, the only maps offered on TomTom's site seem to be European.... Thanks!
-Mike

You probably need to stop expecting WM to be like your normal inflexible phone OS.
If you get a freeware program you like, you can assign it to a button, or simply put a shortcut at the top of your start menu. That's about 2 or 3 button presses maximum before you have your freeware media player pumping out music. On my i780, TCMP is assigned to the left softkey, that's one press and bang, music playing
You don't even need to touch the touchscreen.
If you spend a little more time getting to know the modus operandi of WM, you will probably learn to love the flexible nature of Windows Mobile. And you will stop worrying so much about what X1 doesn't do out of the box and start to take advantage of the true power unleashed of Windows Mobile!

@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!
TCPMP doesn't work on the X1...
Sadly it keeps giving me a "crashed txt" every time I try to open it. Thanks anyways.

@max I totally understand what you're saying about assigning shortcuts btw and was just going to download a media player that I could put in my shortcuts bar on the SE Panel 2 (the panel I use the most, after removing the "File Search" Short Cut on it
), but it won't work with my phone as I just mentioned... As for my two shortcut buttons on the face of the phone, I already have them assigned to two other functions, and don't really want them assigned to do anything else other than what it is that they're already doing... The left is assigned to "messages" while the right is assigned to "screen rotation". Provided I can find a
freeware media player solution that works, and is half way decent I'll gladly assign it to a program short cut screen button on the SE panel 2...

^^^ You can also get
Microsoft Voice Command. With it, you simply press the "Speak" button and then say the name of the program you want to run. That's unlimited shortcuts

I need some advice on what to test when I go to the shop to buy an X1. What should I look to on the outside and in the software? I guess the old SE Servie menu doesn't exist anymore... Any frequent factory problems I must be aware of?

You don't have to speak loudly.
I get a few "ooohs and aaaahs." Especially when it reads me my incoming text messages.

You two are both from english speaking countries. I absolutely cannot use voice shortcuts in public if I want to pass as a normal person. On the other hand I still have the message notifications on. The thing just cracks me up everytime it tries to read something in my language. Thankfully I will be able to turn that off once I get bored.
