Overview Of A Great Mobile Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Combining a 3-inch wide VGA display and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 enables you to work efficiently while on the move (thanks to its Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system) as well as enjoy your favorite entertainment–from music to video. It features a unique customizable paneled desktop that lets you quickly access the applications and functions you use the most. Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), assisted GPS, a large 400 MB internal memory that can be expanded via MicroSD memory cards, FM radio in addition to Windows Media digital audio/video player, and up to 10 hours of talk time (on GSM networks).
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PHONE! The phone is sleek and it stands out in a crowd. It is a conversation piece. At least until the X2 debuts:) I like being different and this phone fits w/my personality.
BATTERY: I heard there were problems so let me tell you how I dealt w/it. I got the phone and charged it per the instructions. I then let the battery die completely…which it did within 1 day. I charged it and let the battery completely die again. After 2 full charges and draining the battery twice, the life of my battery improved exponentially. My phone can now go 3-4 days using internet, panels, and regular usage.
PROS- I love the panels but found the spb mobile shell (which is free) is really the only panel I need. The facebook panel gets some usage as well. I’m going to try the spb mobile 3 and the phone suite and see what it has to offer. I really love all the customizable things you can do with this phone. The spb panels add alot to the X1. I love the Oxford Italian language download which allows me to learn Italian on my own. The battery life is not an issue since I did the steps mentioned above. Connectivity is not a problem and the programs run flawlessly. I love google maps and used it to find my way home after getting lost. It was a life saver since I was in another state. I have had no problems w/the camera or taking pictures. I found that by using mobile windows device on my laptop, I can go into my phone & storage card and put pics, music and anything else where I want it to be including making new folders if needed. Making videos has been fun and the quality is great! The picture quality is amazing w/ or w/o the flash.
If you are going to get the phone get the spb mobile shell…it brings the phones best qualities to light and puts them at the touch of your finger w/o tons of searching. I LOVE THIS phone. I haven’t registered this phone on the AT&T network but haven’t had any dropped calls. That says alot since some of my classes are underground where lots of people get dropped calls. The only deadspots I experienced were in the backwoods of Tx somewhere between Houston & Hooks. But I’ve been told the moment I register my phone, it’ll be on the 3G network and will work in more places. The phone shows I am on an “H” network. The sound quality is good.
CONS- For most people the price is a con but since I keep a good phone for 6-9 years, it is not overpriced. It does not have yahoo IM. I hate that there is no “vibrate during appointments” profile like the HTC Touch Pro because I have to remember to turn off my phone when I go to class. You cannot turn off the SMS notification for sending messages which can be annoying. You can only see the weather for 1 city and the forecast only goes to 4 days. It only has 3 alarm clocks to be set. The font is small but it can be changed using the spb free mobile sheeHowever, I think most of these things can be fixed w/spb downloads (weather, travel, time, diary, etc which are mostly available for a 15 trial period). The keyboard is a little weird at first. It actually hurt my fingers during the first week on use. The keys are almost flushed w/the keyboard and the keys are kinda small for my big fingers but after a week these become minor, if noticeable, points.
I’m not sure if I covered everything about the X1. If I can think of anything else, I will definitely write back. I’ll write another review after the trial period has ended for spb mobile 3 & sbp phone suite.
This phone is worth the money and is AWESOME!!!!! The cons aren’t and shouldn’t keep anyone from purchasing but beware…the X2 is on its way.
