[bigphatversafan]

[MultiW8]

[ThaFriendsta]

It feels fantastic, there is alot of weight behind it, and it springs right into place...It could have been a bit longer, but its still not to bad. Ha Gigidy

[goldenglory2]

[jwkublick]

I migth buy the phone very soon, so i thank you for the review :D

[LaxLennart]

thumbs up if you waited for him to show the games

[r2212xx]

@majid921 - Contact your nearest Sony Ericsson service centre. Find out there address and number from SE's website. They will replace the cover or panel that has cracked with some charges. If you doubt there is more damage to the phone then go for complete servicing.

[majid921]

my x1 fell and i have a crack at the corner of x1 and i wanna know where i can get it replace - india. thanks.

[iiTRUEJUNGLIST]

to avoid disapointment, DONT buy this phone if you want a media device, (good for music, photos, videos, internet.

this is like a business phone and a failed one indeed.

sent this phone back 4 days after buying.

dont let the nice shiney metal case fool you.

[MrShadowz1337]

@BeastModeAlwayz stop being such a retard. You could've done a quick Google search.

[MrShadowz1337]

@BeastModeAlwayz learn to use Google.

[ciokii]

can u instal windows 6.5 on this????

[MrShadowz1337]

@ciokii yup. U can install custom roms on it even. Go to XDA-Developers. Check out the Energy ROM for it, it's awesome.

[georgiafitzroy]

its chuncky.

[Liverpool5563]

I want to buy a Sony Erisson phone can somebody please tell me which phone is better x1 or x2 all I know about the difference is that the x2 has a better camera it was either 5 or 8

[lolianne]

STOP complaining people. Your just watching not the judge of the one whos talking, ur interested in the phone right. SO Listen nd pay attention.

[lolianne]

got this phone last 2009 very nice phone but i thought other phones are way better so i sold it. Now im desperate on having the x2.. how id wish id didnt sell it last time ( my x1). :(

[1285215]

flash to 826x ROM and it will be a great phone

[zaneverovati]

Guys, I am getting desperate with this cell phone. Don't get me wrong - I really like it. But the reception is a MAJOR problem. Tested same SIM card with 4 different phones - 3 of them get full reception, but only Xperia gets 1 bar, at its best its two bars. Can someone even tell me how many bars is max, since my Xperia never went over 2 bars? I've had it in more than 6 months now. Sent it to service 2 times now, they didn't find anything wrong on it. PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE.

[raso829]

Oh, god. Don't get this phone! I had fun for the first month, but now I wish i never bought it!

[sukha55]

holy shit learn to rehearse your lines before hand and not just wing that damn thing... pretty damn annoying. 

[SITFO]

In two years use, this phone has never needed to be rebooted, plays TV brilliantly via WLAN and iPlayer, has all of the MS Office apps that I need, a crackin' camera, superby sound quality, and top-notch keyboard. I have even been able to update websites with this thing! I wish the children would run along and play with their i-Phads and leave those of us who know Windows Mobile to enjoy one of the best phones on the market.

[warshooter]

I have this phone for almost a year. It was fun for 3weeks but it's full of bugs, everything is laggy, I tried loads of other roms but it stays sluggish. The worst problem is the keyboard. My keyboard responds 30% of the time and when it responds it just floods that letter. I Hate this phone so hard that I had many times the intention to break it in half. I throwed this thing many times against the wall, i started to use this device as bottle opener. Don't buy it ^^

[TAYOTAS]

@warshooter your right this phone sux like hell ,, it looks like a cool a phone but ull regret it in awhile people lol

[asianplayer1]

@TAYOTAS but i bought it for 30$ pretty good price. it's also in good condition

[TAYOTAS]

@asianplayer1 in the future ull find some issues with the x1 .. specially the start button ,, it will freeze , and ull have to press it like 5 times for it to come out again

[RavensysteM]

Flash a new Rom on this (Valkyrie, Energy) otherwise the Software will make you shit bricks...

[eaglesman310]

this phone blows my hairy cock. DO NOT GET IT. sure, its good for the first week, then u want to flush it down the toilet.

[PirateMehPup]

hes totally reading off a paper. "as u can see, we got it off, but it wasnt the easiest thing in the world.''

[Davidleo12341234]

u bitch...i guess phonearena is forcing u to read....resign frm the job...

[ElwoodBlatchBand]

sounds like alan from the hangover haha

[l23cb4]

I want to get dis...but x2 is better...it doesn't come out until a long time later tho...smh

[MunchkinAndWhore88]

Review wise it seemed good overall, but I disliked how the reviewer avoided some glaringly obvious problems such as how abysmally slow the phone was in some areas and how in the media section the touch sensitivity was ridiculous and counter intuitive. And, yeah, it does seem like his just reading off a script. :/

[chazh2o]

your not very go at presenting videos are you

[5djsteph5]

how can i delete all my sms's with this phone?

[BL34CH3R]

This guy jacks off a lot, really.

[yummieyummy]

[zzerz]

Buy Nokia N900; beats every phone out there.

[JAHAD007]

I'm looking watching this on ebay...would anyone say it would be worth bidding on one like this?

[mostwantedfreak]

This Phone is Laggy Due to The Lousy WinMo 6.1 which was announce that WinMo6.5 will be out for xperia x1 soon,and all those laggy problems would be solve.

[MrSamross93]

i have had this phone for a year now it has to be the worst most unreliable phone i have ever had it breaks hard to use just all round rubbish never again!

[Kromius99]

its because its windows mobile it sucks... get an lg eve its amazing and rogers is selling it for 1$ on a 3 year contract ( some special deal right now) this phone is also a buck now and same with some blackberry

[Chris27Arnhem]

[grantalex31]

Has this phone got an apps store like the iphone to download stuff like games music etc

[thegorilla30]

[enak90]

@/Macunator: SATIO satio has many entertainment and for that I've pretty well too,satio great phone,i dont like iphone(or kids phone or kinda toys phone)

[Chris27Arnhem]

@josuearisty its bretty big ye, I still like it

[Joosthoofd]

hey how funny!

when i was looking the part of the video player he played scrubs, and i was looking scrubs too at that moment!

LOL.

good review!

[marnup92]

iPhone this, iPhone that. stfu, in a couple of years time there'll be a phone like ten times better, prob with a 20mp camera. Stupid thing is people keep buying new phones just to get in fashion with their teenage buddies. Anyway, overall nice phone lol

[seguigara]

this happens whenever something become an object of comparison, the good thing is that the other manufactures start creating better products than before the apparition of that certain thing, the bad part is that fanboys start spawing like mushrooms in a damp room

[AnotherAZNmale]

@marnup92 and it'll probably the new iphone... lol

[XxB3z3rkzxX]

@marnup92 sorry but still using the samsung e900 and it is a hard phone to kill so ya keep using it till it dies

[MarkPanghy]

World's best phone:D

[gungodthegreat]

omg hes like reading the review off a paper its so annoying

[YOitzODELLE]

@gungodthegreat Yeah, this guy seriously sounds like a robot.

[Xa3HaTA]

@gungodthegreat he is reDING THE REVIEW FROM PAPER...sry for caps

[yankeezrul08]

its bullshit how this fone is 700 bucks

[daa2nelfkhanh]

and the phone seems very laggy

[daa2nelfkhanh]

i can't stand this guy's voice.

[megadude86]

my father has one but he'll give it to me in a couple of days when he buys Nokia X6 :)

[aasia33]

fantastic

[vanaxel]

He cant bloody get the stylus out nor open the case for the battery cos he hasn't got an inch of fingernail!! With those length of fingernails, he cant get the stylus out of ANY phones nor open the battery cover! I have tested the phone before and have no issues getting the stylus out or changing the battery. Bad review.

[Ludachris50]

Had a go at this, and iPhone 3GS

iPhone is much better

[Macunator]

SATIO my friend. IPHONE is nothing compared to a 12.1 Mgp camera and entertainment system

[jgkeys1995]

bullshit.

[haamsterbus]

GOD!

Look at his hands, their fucking huge!

[freeballa9876]

this guy sounds like the biggest nerd

[ifIAMjAF]

better than i phone

[costescuandrei1975]

maybe if u take out the App Store then it may be better.

[jgkeys1995]

lalalalala i cant here you lalalala .

[BL1NDTH1NG]

i'm thinking about getting this phone but i need to know a few things first. how do you get to messaging from the panel interface? because i would like to see how easy it is to text some1 and also if i buy this phone sim free can i just slot my sim from my old phone into this? and because i'm on pay as you go will i be able to use the internet features on the phone or not ?. thx - ps shehanster you can download software for the x1 which speeds up the interface.

[shehanster]

i had this 4n if it wasnt for windows mobile its a great 4n ...windows mobile makes it slow i mean very slow returned it and got the nokia 5530 its waayyy better and not complicated like this

[Apogeu16]

Perfect... my dream is a this

[kneesta16]

what's the difference(generally) in a sony ericsson, for example this one that has 3.2mp and the c510 cybershot that has 3.2mp? cyber-shot takes better pictures?

[Pakifier]

Which ius better? X1 or X2? please put in reply

[jkl567jkl]

the x2 is much much better...

buh also more expensive...

lol...

Does anyone know when it is being released???

[razorel]

i guess that X2 is better

[Radean1]

What's the difference between Resistive touch screen as opposed to Capacitive?

[youcandance12345]

in resistive touch there's a layer of plastic over the actual screen, and in order for it to register your touch you have to push the layer of plastic so that it touches the screen beneath it. with capacitive the screen is usually glass with nothing covering it, so you don't have to "push" against it, you just touch it lightly. in my opinion capacitive is better for phones like the iphone where its a screen for your fingers. resistive is better on phones that use a stylus.

[Radean1]

Thanks man, that helps.

[mendamala]

can you customize the background on the panels? like a picture instead of having the neon light ones?

[Mazo711]

hahaha it still feels very good in the hands okkk... what ever floats ur boat

[smanzaman]

can the font in all menus be enlarged? cause it looks too small for that wide screen..

[Kahrupay]

You sound so funny, like newbie narrators of the documentaries! Are you reading it from a text?!

[funnyboy12344]

can you go on youtube with it??? Please Answer!

[boeingVSairbus]

I'm quite sure the browsers (IE and Opera) does not support flash applications such as youtube videos etc. I don't get mine until next week..

[wafeen]

Yes you can

[funnyboy12344]

thanks!!!!

[Tremayne1993]

Yes, you can. You either download the Youtube Panel, or it has it on the phone when it's shipped.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

duh

[bigpizza112]

you guys think that it's worth trading in the htc touch diamond for this? And which color would you choose? silver/black?

[NFLmanic]

x1 rules! i would choose silver color, but black is awesome too!

[BlackFerari1]

Yes but it has so much problems. My brother used it for an hour and it lagged.

[nykvarnskurken]

How long time does it take to charge it?

[DJDopeB]

About two weeks kkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spuds141]

it seems like quite a complicated phone..am i right? im considering getting it because i want a new phone but i just don't know. it seems way complicated. and id never use that facebook thing cause im not on facebook

[leggabob]

I thought that, too, until i had it. It isn't as complicated as you think and the facebook thing is just an example, you can customize your panels however you want and it doesn't have to be facebook (From Germany)

[oozt]

HTC didnt help with design, only production

[Itmac666]

why all the ppl that make video about all these touch phones (iphone, xperia, touch pro, touch diamond and all the other phones) never use the stylus pen... :O WTF -.-

[Itmac666]

what phone should i buy ??

iPhone 3Gs or HTC Touch Pro or the Sony Ericson xperia x1 ?

[JEBACHA]

I Would Never Buy HTC !

3Gs Is Nice Phone As X1 Is :)

[Itmac666]

well...

im going to by the HTC Touch Pro 2.. :D

and ye i know the 3Gs is much better and so, but it cost to much :((

and ye.. !!! I WOULD NEVAH BUY THE SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X1 ANYWAY -.- (im not a sony ericsson hater.. ! i just wont buy it :P )

[Itmac666]

well...

i get the HTC Touch Pro 2 :)

[marcgabriel777]

i hate this phone

[lupertoagente001]

why?

[gaastra12]

because he doesnt has it bcuz his family is poor lol

[marcgabriel777]

Mockingly laugh at the poor is unpolite dude. You could have been poorly brought up by your rich family.

[gaastra12]

lol sorry i didnt mean to say it like that, i just said it because he said he hated the phone you see. not ment to suddenly attack him without an reason

[floodofcal]

OMG lolololol  ha ha

[gaastra12]

errrrr... right.

[marcgabriel777]

I hate to disappoint you guys but i'm entitled to my own opinion. i bought it online for $508.00 + shipping and returned it after 6 days of using it wt 20% restocking fee. keyboard is awesome but you need to tap harder to make the touch screen work. Screen is long but not wide enough to get a better view. Zooming is limited to tapping the screen twice, you can't zoom it further to desired size. Fixed Font size in the settings is too small for me to read. I got iphone 3g s now. Thanks

[lev96]

yay for scrubs

[kion44]

good,ca sony

[iAneeso]

do you guys think this phone is good?

or do you think the phone looks a bit girly?

[Ashkan10Messi]

Honestly, i dont think it looks girly

i got the silver one

and i am really happy xD

i got it for $560 AUD from ebay

brand new and unlocked

[swzoneNCswzone]

Girly? rofl.. no way ,, THATS A MACHO PHONE! :P

[Jnudello8]

800 bucks...ya right get on att and i might consider buying it for 300-400. Looks like a sick phone tho

[petardedman]

which carier???

[mstt1010]

Why doesn't sony make cellphones like they make HD TVS, PS3, PSP, I really like their electronics, but cells, not like their gaming division.

[blkadams450]

I love my iPhone way better than my X1

[TweFoji]

i think when this guy made the video, he hasn't updated the ROM from SEUS, because after you update the ROM from the official SEUS, you dont get Lags anymore!

[MrGame1789]

who much do you think it will cost in 2 months cause im thinking of buying it

[al3xgilb3rt]

can you use just the dpad to get around? or do you have to use the touch screen all the time?

[babitabope223]

X1 ALL THE WAY NO QUESTION!!!!!!!

[TheBluntNinja]

Resistive screens stink, and the WM GUI sucks.... even though they tried their best to fix it.

[toyce01]

WHAT SHOULD I BUY N97 OR THE XPERIA

[bbqlamb]

Its easy to chose. if you care about what people say. And you want TV out and a good camera, get the N97. But if you want all the features of the world and including a better high resolution (800X480) screen, with over 20,000;1 contrast ration and 2ms resoponse rate screen. then get an X1. If i had money i will get an X1, stuff the 32gb internal memory thet you get with N97. X1 is a more reliable phone check with the experts at GSMARENA COM its ranking number one!

[mstt1010]

You seem to know a lot about sony, but I really don't like touch screen, I know this cell has a keypad, but still, are there anynew sony phones coming soon, I have always bought nokia so naturally my choice is nokia, but this time I want a change, plus I got a new ps3 and I like all sony products except can't decide if I really want a sony phone.

[bbqlamb]

And dont forget all Nokia handsets are ran by symbian software. But phones like HTC HD and Sony X1 they are ran by windows mobile 6.1 which is a better operating system because you can download new programs. just type in windows 6.1 freeware download on google and free software will come for you to download. software like cleanRAM, Quake 3 arena game, skyfire, pocketmusic, skypegold, schaps config, themes, DIVX Player, stop watch, Nintendo EMU, or PocketBrush 1.3 the list goes on and on. :-)

[mstt1010]

Thank you for explaining, but to tell you the truth my heart is still set on a nokia, not because everyother person has it but because I've been using it for 6years now.

I'll still take a look at it.

[bbqlamb]

Your welcome. Just to let you know everyone has different taste :-). But i also believe Nokia is an reliable and user friendly phones. And nokia still make some good phones to date. :-)

[gaastra12]

n97 sucks fucking crap

[gaastra12]

n97 sucks fuckin donkey balls

[bbqlamb]

10 points :-)

[mstt1010]

hahaha, I read monkey balls somewhere and now donkey!

[cicakndut]

ur damn right it is :p

[Tensai06]

scrubs!!!!

[MinistryofGaming]

sexy nerd

[ozzie147]

is this a good phone?

[w3lsh3y]

[DjCabbie2610]

Have it gps?

[22GIGO22]

[caesarjoerulers]

i hate it

[darthemokid773]

this phone is too much

[MIKAEL454]

0:58-1:04 thats what she said :-p

[YouKnowWho64]

does anyone recommend this phone?? i want to buy this but not sure if its worth it or not
