The X1 is still pretty flawed, the flashy advert with the kids and the paper aeroplanes tried to make it more mass market and accessible, hence the panels thing they tried to implement. The X1 seemed to me like an experiment and we were the paying guinea pigs, most of us were paying silly amounts for the phone. Yes the every phone has its own shortcomings but when you’re paying £500 the last thing you’d expect is build quality to be an issue, software bugs and a steep learning curve maybe but not for a phone to break that’s not something you can really ignore.
I consider myself an advanced user but I couldn’t use this phone on a day to day basis due to the fact that most people like a phone to just work out of the box, no pc synchronisation, no myriad of set up menus just something that I don’t have to troll around a forum for to solve. By that I mean the speed issues, software bugs and the countless number of cabs I had to hunt down because I wanted a particular feature. In the end this phone wasn’t for me despite SE assuring me it was with its hype, maybe I’m not who SE were trying to target but I’m pretty damn sure they were trying to sell it as a premium device that was all singing and dancing and it simply wasn’t.

I also had mixed emotions about windows mobile. At one point I was actually missing UIQ badly and even looked at the new Iphone- I simply can't stand poor software performance. Then I realised that core player, which I constantly use, is the big culprit-probably not fully optimised for xperia. It should be closed after usage. Also I found and start to use speed booster - I would call it windows mobile swiss pro:-) Finaly I found apps 'informant' and 'midomi'. The first is amazing pim apps - as I am a manager in a bank I needed something like that. The second is id track which is the single one app I missed from P1.
So I can understand those people who don't like xperia or winmo in general. It is rather strange operating system. But after one bring it to the desired state it becomes a killer machine. As you said, this is by far the best SE phone I had.
Yes, I've had mixed emotions about WM's UI in the beginning,
but after I started to see what it offers and what are the apps,
yes, it's a "killer machine."

Officially through SEUS? That would be really nice.

No he hasn't -
http://xperiancers.com/2009/09/10/x1-upgrade-not-in-the-roadmap/ - 100% confirmed, X1 will
not get 6.5 through SEUS, and that's not an official ROM on XDA.

Well - his ROM did not come out of the blue,
it's based on SE,
but true, not released = not official...
We'll see about the update when 6.5 will be official,
it's a bit mess right now...

Maybe the non-existant upgrade to 6.5 won't arrive just in time for my brother's X1 to get back from the repair shop after 7 months use. Yeah for £550 he doesn't feel abused at all and having had owned 3 HTC's without any problem previously I'm sure he'll be thrilled by the X2 aanouncement and will be lining up to purchase one for another £600 odd at release.

That's what he says - however, SE, through Xperiancers, flatly deny that. All of these ROMs originally come from somewhere, but since XDA has been riddled with leaked HTC ROMs from day one and the X1 is effectively an HTC device, it's almost certain that his "official" ROM is just cloned from some other HTC device - nothing to do with SE.

I`re got XPERIA X1 - when I`m working in opera and I`m opening web pages, it often stops working.
How can I correct it?
