[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. Please help

[haritsanwar]

Which is better: Xperia x1 or samsung Omnia..???

[Ciukyexacta]

You want a touch screen cellphone? Go for an iPhone or else you will be making a horrible deal buying a laggy device that has nothing to do with a real touch screen piece. Trust me.

[SN00PY746]

phone is not made for the finger...at all. and its slow, ill stick with my iphone =]

[chris82gr]

i will agree with you..

[TheLDproductions]

u have a shit network then mine works in a snap what carrier are u ?

[bienahhh]

whaaaaaaa i just ordered this phone.. second hand but never used. 220.00 euros (H) in holland.. I'm excited!

[TheGlass10]

how do you use bluetooth on this phone

[pavan151]

i still want it tho :P

[sofoklis38]

gamai to xperia x1!!!

[samiG2010]

the girl seems bitchy

[iMastur]

i've got the x1 tbh, it's a great phone but can freeze on you from time to time.

[raynez]

try a software update at xda developers

[5i2]

i've brought it but haven't got it .. is it slow?

[SilentKiller529]

the touch screen is a little choppy

[skittlesbite9]

fuck u

[rodrigopetrucci]

man this is reaaaaaly expensive here in Brazil, it's like $1500,00

[Jackot08]

;¬)

[yesturtle]

fix the speed with soft updates!!

[asimhaider]

i m using x1 n this for better than fuking iphon.........

[diegokrrillo06]

porqueria solo tiene 85 mil colores

[Adry007]

iphone 10

x1 0

XD

[IBzu1]

thts so cool! i wonder wat the price tag on that phone is?

[mvplive07]

standard unlocked retail is $800 O_o

[themanwhoknew]

I'm old fashioned I like lots of buttons. It looks like an expensive headache.

[RealistSunEx]

wtf?? so laggy

[SourBabe1]

this phone seems so complicated

[magnificusik]

you must be an idiot. sure that u really do have some mental issues...

[SourBabe1]

no actually i dont retard

[gabo15del92]

chido

[Chromestarsword]

u guys it has more panels and its cheaper next year beacause its only limited

[red7productions]

"Early software...not a full production model" - that's why its lagging.

[twelfthmaztrez]

the phone looks laggy...

i hate laggy phones shyt bout them.... =.=''

[congz]

for all those iphone lovers bashing the x1, have you even used the x1 yet? the iphone is a technology dinosaur. NOT the pinnacle of technology as all fanboys think. it has a poor camera, no mms, no fwding or group sending of msgs, no copy and paste and many more. it isn't even the first touchscreen phone. and hell, it DOES lag. if you love the iphone, go ahead and be happy with it. you don't have to come bashing another phone.

[djs621]

Yeah but for all those things you just mentioned (besides the camera) they can all be added through a firmware update. The Iphone is in it's early stages and it's pretty much a blank slate with endless possibilities.

[VeyronR89C]

chill out man, why cuss him for giving his views?

[davood15]

You balled headed crack head why would even like this phone you haven't even seen it do anything yet.

[krickan]

i got this phone... it sucked so bad that i had to sell it one week later,

Now i got a iphone and im very happy with that.

[A7ibaba]

Ok..... it sux.Slow and lagging

[iLLnezs]

This phone doesn't even look worth 200 dollars.. 9 panels? How stupid haha.

[liloneyazn]

Its $800

[LittlePianoMan494]

so all you need to buy it and get a sim card for your carrier?

[leehan92]

what network besides at&t does it support?

[07liberian]

It's Unlocked, So All Of Them !!!

But AT&T Is The Only One That Matters.

[knightelf190]

wait can u use this for verizon

[elsenciillo]

god damn this phone cost 800$ freakinq dollars.thats way too much man it should be like 400$-500$

[LittlePianoMan494]

its gana drop like the iphone did

[reytube29]

i have imagine all.. thanks hahaha dumb phone

[3rdStSaint]

i want this phone

[Malaysian25]

why is every1 bashing the fone based on this video? it is clearly mentioned.. this model in the video was a demo.. so I dont think it is the final release... it wont be..

[Superputazo23]

and you, the one in the vid, by saying that stupid comment about trading them the iPhone for that piece of shit, you just made yourself look stupid. besides really unresponsive phone. u own an iPhone you know the responsiveness is just PERFECT. iPhone-the future of cellphones.

[AGuyWhoPunkUMama]

haha you tell him! I've heard many good things about the iphone. Don't get me wrong...the iphone is great, I just think (IMHO) too many people have it..that's why I want another kind of phone..

[Aerodynamics123]

if I was to choose between this and the iPhone I would choose this for the same reason. Everyone has the iPhone.. I haven't seen anyone with the X1 yet and also I love the keyboard on it

[Superputazo23]

Xperia is just another failure trying to beat the best phone ever built, the iPhone. Now Sony please stop sucking Apple's cock and stop trying to make phones to "beat" or "kill" the iPhone. iPhone will never be beaten, iPhone killer will never exist. and while you make an extremely expensive phone, Apple just has this eye-appealing, extremely user-friendly phone with great apps, for just $199 8GB or $299 16GB. iPhone is just the best. period

[mofiend]

Well this phone looks like it lags at its going from page to page its very slow and choppy to much apps i suppose they should fix that before releasing this to the public.

[ITR0952]

all about the Xperia X1

w w w. Xperia-X1 .o r g

[fightnight14]

Its not the full production model people. Why worry? Its just a prototype.

[tala12345678]

is this a cell phone?

[tomischamp]

sure is :)

[makpak]

fone delayde. im gettin realy pissed off.

if this is one of those april fools day jokes/pranks delayd.... imma be pissed off. and im personally going to kill who is x fuck. that episode shit. imma kill him hell nhever who/wat he was.

[lifematch]

xperia seem a little unresponsive... i'm worried!!!

[aznlilsaint]

it seemed a bit unresponsive....

should i get the Xperia X1? or the Samsung Tocco?

[ajaxxzzx]

the tocco isnt all that.. its jus flashy

this on the other hand has more features..etc

[ITR0952]

w w w. Xperia-X1.o r g

has more updates.

[PutrifyingEagor]

This phone is about £575.00 UK,3.2 megapixel camera???Uh No thankyou sony!people who say Iphones and Apple products are Crap,cant afford them,so they are bitter!The Iphone does what its capable of VERY WELL!Although not as highly speced as other phones,It performs the basic functions BETTER than any other phone!And I Dont Have One!!My next phone is going to be the HTC Touch HD.

[BHANDAR80]

HTC Touch HD is going to be a big hit!!!

[michaellaguerre]

COMPARE TO WHAT?

[tanelkagan]

The camera is only one aspect of a phone. If you're really bothered about taking high quality photographs, you shouldn't be using a camera phone anyway. You can pick up a much better quality digital camera for under £100 anyway. For day to day applications, 3.2MP is fine.

Anyone choosing a phone based on the camera probably shouldn't be looking at a serious high end business smartphone like the Xperia in any event.

No issue with apple, but don't forget the iPhone is currently only on 02.

[SantomPh]

is the keypad the only way to input text? what about old school thumb jumping?

[peteypedro8]

3:30 min is madd funnyyy

[hapali4ever]

This should be out in mid-September and will be available for about $400 with a 2year contract from ATT.

[ATLANTA287]

damn muthafucka where did u get that price?

[SethB93]

They announced recently that it will be available in week 42 of the business year (Oct. 8-12)

[rell127]

i wonder if this phone will be youtube and other video sites compatible

[rell127]

t-mobile is getting this as well and they might get the htc diamond pro but call it the new mda

[NintendoTrek]

is it really comin to t-mobile? will it also cost $400 w/ a 2 year contarct?

[rell127]

yea on the phonedog site he said it but it will probly be alil light because ever phone is going after the iphone and sidkick crowd hard but i heard the sidekick touch is coming out as well stupid idea but hey it's america.

[spiderloc92]

it can be used on virtually any network. and its a base price of $850

[jpw10182012]

It will be for AT&T. It's only slow cuz this is a demo prototype version.

[bluesakura28]

it looks slow

[roaringriku]

is it going to be unlocked for usa

[roaringriku]

i already have the n95 but i am getting the xperia x1 it comes out october 2009 and i am getting mine in dec or jan

[seth13th]

One think i regret bout this phone though..why dont they put a camera in front for video call..

But maybe the other features from xperia will cover it anyway..the interface look pretty darn good.. =)

[Aerodynamics123]

there is a camera in the front..

[rslawinski33]

prototype but i really want this

when does it come out out

[seth13th]

Is it just me or the interface is a little bit slow?

Or is it just because it's only a prototype?

[Kkkkkkkkkkkken]

Only a prototype. Final one, will be sweet as and smooth

[mushroom0014]

toinkz...anyways..how much this phone?

[qluuuuuuuuuulp]

It's no way better than my Iphone 3G !!

[rell127]

this is just an a prototype the new iphone is gonna get alot of competition with htc diamond and the with this phone

[mraweosome93]

no its the htc touch pro

[rell127]

yea i was thanks for the correcting

[DFunx]

One of the best preview of X1 on Youtube

[id2star11]

this phone is fucking awsome

[nataliaandnick14]

i am tech addict and this phone satisfies all my needs

[groovdafied]

It's unfortunate that it's a program that is running ontop of windows mobile, instead of with it, to enable a smoother experience. I'm sure that that is jsut a developers model, which is why it's not too responsive, but if MS really wants phones to be working with their OS, they really need to push the WinMo Proton and put some serious thought and not put useless features in it. I for one am looking forward to WM 7, but for now I'm going with the Instinct. Nice phone btw, but not a big sony fan.

[sdhfsjk]

that phone looks like its something you can explore for 5 days.Its full of stuff

[abcyesn]

w w w. xperia-x1 .o r g

Xperia X1 fans

[kyonayi]

this phone is expensive like hell... will cost over 700 euros...

no chance against Samsung i900, HTC Diamond and iPhone 3G with this price...

[jedxlightsaber]

iphone = childsplay

[VWFULL]

I DONT CHANCE MY IPHONE FOR THAT..

[brolyss4]

Please, stick you ihpone into your anus, and let us get this phone.

[xscarletxfeverx]

well said. the iphone sucks, this phone is the best.

[toocoolforu]

your statement is so irrevelant and stupid.

[xscarletxfeverx]

haha, because yours isn't. and for the record, the iphone DOES suck.

[stylez59]

if you want hater. it might suck but at least apple is making great success of it, unlike sony ericsson who just suppressed 2,000 jobs!! you failed.

[xscarletxfeverx]

i'd rather be with a company who suppresses jobs, than be with a company who rips people off.

[stylez59]

what are you talking about? iphone 3G are cheaper than Xperia!

[xscarletxfeverx]

xperia isn't even out yet. and the iphone should be cheaper, it should be free. it sucks, and i stand by that, no matter what lame comebacks you throw at me.

[RajakarNizamiSyedi]

but ipHONE is crap. iPHONE is also a flop product

[toocoolforu]

And btw, Sony decided to make (another) proprietary support while the DVD commission decided it would be the HD-DVD as the successor of the DVD, sony started this format war just like in early 80s with betamax, HD-DVDs would have been cheaper to produce, and already widely available. So thank you sony!

[RajakarNizamiSyedi]

Blu Ray is the next gen media. It will overtake DVD this year in Japan and europe and in 2009/10 in USA

First day sales of IRON MAN bluRay stands at 700k --thats a new record

BLU RAY is the winner. next gen starts only when SONY says so

[toocoolforu]

it was such a pretencious comment. blu ray is the next support for disc, it has nothing to do with iron man sales since it was only released in blu ray. of course blu ray is better than the older DVD, what are you trying to proove? i'm just saying that sony didnt deserve that, HD-DVD is still cheaper and a more robust format. period

[RajakarNizamiSyedi]

But it has something to do with SONY. XPERIA will sell like gangbusters and so would blu ray

IRON MAN was released on DVD too but the BLU RAY version had better attach rate.

DARK KNIGHT will sell3m copies in the launch week on Blu Ray

No matter wherever u are going future is always SONY

[toocoolforu]

ok you sony fanboy, OF COURSE people are going to buy blu ray now, they have no choice! between 1080p and 500i the choice is easy. sorry but sony failed in many proprietary formats. blu ray has to be a trusted archive support, it is not so tough unfortunately

[RajakarNizamiSyedi]

doesnt matter future is blu. Just like BLU RAY XPERIA will also become a new standard

[RajakarNizamiSyedi]

apple isnt making money from iphone. the only product from where apple is making money is iPOD. macbooks are selling but the new SONY VAIO are so much better

iphone is crap just like all apple products. XPERIA is the next best thing in mobile phones.

SONY made 5B dollar profit last year. It is projected to make the same this year

and 3x the amount next year when BLU RAY overtakes DVD as the standard in media

[toocoolforu]

Statment for yesterday : Apple doesn't make profit on macs anymore because of the global financial difficulties, it makes profit on iphones.

Almost 10 million iphones 3G were sold, and you call this a flop? i understand that you don't like the iphone, but saying bullshit won't help.

[celicakz]

Absolutely. There's something wrong with the guy. He's just some kind of Sony nutjob and posts this kind of thing on PS3 videos as well.

[celicakz]

It doesn't matter what it is. This fucktard will talk shit about any Sony product. I'm not sure why he's so enamoured with them but since he blocks me from his own videos I figure I'll just harrass him wherever he posts! As of 24th October this year I-phone has shifted 6.9 Million units with a profit margin of greater than 50%! But in fanboy fuckwit's eyes that's a failure?! Why? Because he has a hard on for Sony so pretends reality doesn't exist!

[IIBainsII]

This was a EARLY aplha, the one that is coming to your store will have twice the RAM which means twice the speed. And do you think the Iphone was "lagg free" when it was in early alpha stages? NO! So please think with your head before you start posting apple fanboy comments...

[swimmerchick13]

yeah my sister bought th iphone right when at&t openeed where i live andd not long after they made newer and faster ones.. apple is a ripoff making better ones soon after people are buying the phones for expensive.. my sister is a phonefreak and she is retarted. stop being like her. thanks.

[shadster42]

i dont get how get how all these buggy models are going to help sony but so far i think that unless they do some major changes the xperia is going to be really buggy until a xperia x2 comes out

plus the htc diamond sofar looks sore of buggy and responsive too and i've always hated apple but so far it is the most responsive and is more fluid i guess ill guest have to wait for a 3g iphone or a fixed xperia or htc diamond

[dreyfussfury]

Hi, im really interested in this phone. How did you know that it is slow and very buggy?

[brolyss4]

This are prototypes, the real and final phones will get out at 2009.

[xscarletxfeverx]

actually, a manufacturer leak puts this phones release at mid September, 2008. can't wait, i'm getting one for sure.

[scootacat33030]

i wonder what will be the price?

[id2star11]

its is sadi to be 200-400 on att with the 2 year contract

[dr3amchasing]

if i cant get the lg viewty im definatly getting this one

[WvB22]

Ofcourse it's slow, it's a pre-production model that is used for software testing and debugging. It takes another 4-5 months to finetune it.

[lolzim8888]

slow as hell

[PANCHOO19701]

lolzim8888 your not very smart are you!

PRE-PRODUCTION MODEL!

[lolzim8888]

i know... but the touch diamond beta device are pretty fasteer then this... but xperia are very nice phone...

[gebruikersnaam999999]

Still slow as hell

[tub123456789012]

showing of buggy prototypes in every video isn't the way to go.. :( Either they are way behind scheudule with the phone.. or it might turn out a big dissapointment.. can't say Im impressed.. :(

[hack3r360]

i have to admit this is one bad ass phone...

[swbit]

i go back to the panels... i go back to the panels... i go back to the panels... i guess i don't go back to the panels... hehe

[Darbyjack]

The framerate on that phone is disgusting.

[SeedDestinys]

it has lots of bugs, prototype phone, se said its gonna be fixed by release

[babyangel1032]

I just want a phone that has all the qualities of a computer. When they invent that then and only then will I spend hundreds of dollars for it. Mean while just give me a phone that txts, takes pics and vids, plays mp3s and is capable of playing FREE third party ringtones. P.S. I would get this if, whatever service that has it (except ATT), gives an discount on it. I refuse to pay full price for something thats gonna crap out in two years.

[lasagnadeliveryguy]

oh btw does this have video dj?

[WoWDraken]

iPhone is better or ? please answer

[Jluevanos8]

I think the x1 because it includes the full quarty-keyboard as well as a touch like the iphone.

[JayCRuby]

is a little bit too slow..

but definitely look cool~~

[lasagnadeliveryguy]

it's the prototype.

[dforsell]

Looks like a quite boring phone.. too bad. I was looking forward to something new, but it isn't - WM6 is so 1995. I'm gonna keep my iPhone.

[pawcamerone]

the early firmware looks buggy. hope they fix that up.

[Schurkturk]

Release date?

[scootacat33030]

i wonder how much memory it holds

[seauryakumar]

it has 400 mb internal and micro SD slot

[lasagnadeliveryguy]

400 mb internel and m2 card

[gemininer]

So many choices. It's betweent the Samsung i900, X1 and the Nokia Tube. But I think it's really between the X1 and the Nokia Tube. I think I'll wait for the Nokia Tube, though the X1 is really tempting, but based on the demo, it's kinda sluggish. Have to wait for more reviews. But for now, Nokia Tube is on the top of my list, followed closely by the X1 and the Samsung i900.

[porky247]

i know i cant choose anything but x1 supposed to be about $1000 say google so ill just buy a tv and get a cheap phone like the env2

[gemininer]

what? $1000? Too much. It's not on my list anymore, lol. Even if I can afford it, I wouldn't spend that much money on a phone. $700 is the most I'd spend on a phone.

[m51soccer]

no....it will be expensive but not f*cking $1000

[macmasterG3]

LOOK AT SPACEBAR! that thing is like bigger then my laptop's !!!!!!!

[23martinc]

Doesn anyone know how the speakers are on it?

cause i wanna get one. But i wanna make sure its got good speaker. and i though the iphone was gonna be great, but then i hear the speakers and i was disappointed. so im hoping this one has good speakers!

[mitaso]

Does it have a normal main SE menu?

[kravvykrav]

Nope. It's a Windows Mobile phone - first one SE has made. So it'll have the regular Windows Mobile OS and menu system with that new Xperia panel interface "on top" of WinMob.

[lasagnadeliveryguy]

can you have a picture that you made as background?i know it's a stupid question but some don'y have that option

[monkeydllight5]

I have a question for you all. Which x1 looks better . The black one or the grey one ? I want to buy this phone when it comes out but I dunno which colour xD

[Russiansown08]

Dude Black one looks cooler!!!! I am getting one as soon as it comes! Silver is ok but I am pretty conservative guy, so black is my choice!

[henrysasmita]

hei dude.. this model is ok.

but.. very slow if opening any software!!!

this hp SUCK!!!

i dont get it!!

[Russiansown08]

LOL This is not HP! Its from SE Xperia X1!

Then I agree it looks slow but we are going to have more updates.

[henrysasmita]

LOL! r u supposed hp is the brand.. noooo

i mean hp stand for is HANDPHONE.. LOLLOLOLOLOL

hahahaa how retard u are!! sory!

[Russiansown08]

Oooh sorry friend! Didn't know that "hp" stands for "hand phone"! I don't really know geek slang so please next time speak clearly! ;)

[voteordont]

Can I... Can I hold it...? I wanna run away with it. so so, dumb. Viva the LG Vu. (yes i get paid to advertise)

[ATLANTA287]

tell them to make more room on the upper QWERTY row i got big thumbs lol.....& i am highly anticipating the hell out of this phone!

[efemall]

obviously the US is a very operator driven market. Obviously.

[SingaporeAirlinesSIN]

I was going to buy an iPhone but held out as I didn't want to pay for the Apple brand and the premium did not offer me value as an individual.

However, the SonyEricsson XPERIA X1 seems great value coupled with fantastic functionality and also it operates on Windows Mobile.

Shame it's not here now

[austin1776]

This phone is amazing, but I'm sure it's going to cost around $700. Which is out of my price range. Just look at the prices of the rest of Sony Ericsson's phones. Crazy prices.

The only thing that makes the iPhone attractive is it's very intuitive touch screen, and the price. Other than that, this is much better.

[poliboy22]

How do U know it's gonna be expensive?! Maybe it will be just a bit more expensive than the iPhone. Or it will be cheaper (I don't think thou) Anyway... no one knows anything about the price of the X1. So stop talking about something U don't have any idea.

The point is that probably Xperia X1 is gonna be an amazing phone.

[celderian]

It is a windows mobile phone, and most winmo phone are in the 500$ range, the most powerful one are in the 700-800$ range, it is feature packed thus it will be in the 600-700$ range.

[austin1776]

OK, I'm not trying to act like I know how much it's going to cost. I'm just pointing out that many less powerful phones offered by Sony Ericsson are on the expensive side for what they are.

So stop trying to be all hardcore on me.

[moohamedd]

apparently there are a few sources, including Sony Ericsson, indicating the price for the X1 will be around 700 Euro in Europe. Since prices in the US are usually about the same number, with the different currency symbol (much to the envy of us in Europe), 700 bucks might be about right.

[ATLANTA287]

omg its so not gonna cost 700, dude it has NO GIGZ!!!!!!!! & they need to make a video about the other features like the music/mp3 player. When i get the Xperia im making a video

[RocknRoll13ZH]

Look that way and im gonna run with it. LoL.

OMG i really want this phone since everyone is such a sidekick head and its ridiculous. so i really want it haha

and it looks better than the apple phone.

I mean i have it and typing is kinda difficult. But about the price. hmm if its more than 600 than bye bye haha and i hope its Cingular or now AT&T!! Since its the best man!!

[id2star11]

it is most likely for att it had a huge panel for att at mobile congress in germeny XD

[RocknRoll13ZH]

Cool

i havent checked on it but when does it come out in the states?

[id2star11]

mid september and when you buy the phone it comes with an included 8gb sd card
