Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is a phone I have had the privilege of using during the past four weeks, it came as part of a monthly O2 24 month contract package at £30 a month so I didn't pay for the handset separately. It is a well designed phone with an overall finish of brushed metal that makes the shell case feel solid and pleasing to hold in the palm of the hand. The sleek design is enhanced by stylish peripheral buttons and the fact that there are no irritating floppy rubber doors covering ports. Yes, there are lighter and slimmer phones out there, but such attributes are really a matter of taste and fashion. Its dimensions are 17mm deep by 53mm wide by 110mm tall. ...  Read the complete review

I have had the X1 since January 2009. I chose silver because I thought the scratches wouldn't show up as much as the black one, and i'm glad i did. You can download anything on the phone which is great, has word, excel, powerpoint all very handy for me. The keyboard i find is really easy to use and the touchscreen works brilliantly and smooth. It did take me a while to get used to the phone as it is very different to a normal phone with all the extra functions. The problem I have with the phone is one day is august it turned itself off and wouldnt start up again. I charged it for a whole day but still didnt work. so i sent it back to carphone ...  Read the complete review

Oh, the hype for the Sony X1! I didn't think anything would face the hype of an Iphone, but Xperia did it - all the geeks and phone lovers were waiting for this baby for a long time. And it came, glistening in full metal case, beautiful large wide screen, touch scrolling, and slide out qwerty keypad, 3.2mp camera, Windows mobile. BUt was it worth all the hype? I think the biggest let down for me was being introduced to Windows Mobile. 500Mhz of X1 could not run Windows Mobile smooth enough - how disappointing. WM is the hardest OS to use, everything is fiddly, buggy and slow. Only thing that separates is the Xpanel, which isn't very fast either - ...  Read the complete review

After selling my soul for the Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson, I have to say that I would do it again, time and time again! From the first glance at the fantastic large screen, to the silvery finish of the keyboard, the X1 is very well presented. For a reasonably chunky unit, the silver and black give it a sleeker look, reserved for the more flashier models that tend to lack in substance, Trust me here though, as the X1 doesn't lack in substance either. The screen has a great resolution, combined with its size, resulting in crisp images. Either from your memory stick or the inbuilt camera. The screen is also touch, and whilst being equally ...  Read the complete review

Well, I have it a week in my possession now, and I can say that I've made a good choice. This is a very versatile phone with many features. You can actually just do everything with it. I think the design is very beautiful. I made a little list with the good things and the bad things of this device: Plus: - Very much-functions - The camera has a pretty good quality in daylight - Beautiful design - Very good resolution (display) - The speed of the unit is doing very well compared to its competitors - The panel is very nice - The headset-sound is excellent! Downsides: - The speaker in this device ...  Read the complete review
