Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 - answers!

I thought I would start a new post in order to answer the many questions that you all posed about the Xperia X1. Apologies for the hold up but my C&J X1 arrived on Thursday minus the battery so I had to wait until the battery arrived yesterday before I could really start playing with the X1.

So let me just explain a little about the handset that I have. This is a C&J unit which stands for Customer & Journalist. It's pretty much what you would consider to be final release spec. The hardware will no change between this and the final retail version but it is possible that the ROM build will vary slightly. It also arrived in a plain white box, hence no unboxing video!

So let's start off with a selection of photos of the X1 and I'll discuss them as we go. I'll move on to the Q&A after.

The Q&A

What's the in-call sound quality like?
In-call the X1 is ok. There's plenty of volume from the speaker meaning that I don't need to have it set to maximum. The speaker itself is also reasonably good.

What is the actual RAM in the device?
The X1 has 384 MB RAM but you'll note that the device information screen says 256MB. This is because the X1 also has an additional 128MB RAM that's only accessible to the CPU/3D chip.

What is the Spb Panel like?
There's a version of Spb Mobile Shell pre-installed on the X1. I'm sure fans of mobile shell will like this version but I still prefer TouchFlo.

Can you post sample videos taken from the Xperia camera?
Yep, I'll have some of these up for you shortly.

How much free memory available on the device with Panels running and with Panels turned off?

With just the standard Windows Mobile screen in use it's showing as having 137MB free, this amount only seems to vary by a few MB with the moste complex panels loaded.

Black or Silver? Which one do you think is best?
I personally prefer the black.

Does it have a motion sensor?
No

How is the speed switching between portrait and landscape with active panels?
Depends on the panel that you have open at the time. Some panels have more on them so take a little longer to rotate. I personally do think it's too big a deal, half a second perhaps.

How is the feel and reaction of the control touch pad?
As I mentioned above I don't like how recessed the optical joystick is, I find it a little awkward to use and therefore have it turned off. I just used the regular d-pad. It's responsive enough though.

Can you mention the processor in the device? Is it MSM7200 or MSM7201A (like the Touch Pro)? If it is MSM7200, can you mention any difference b/w the two processors from an end-user point of view - i.e. if the Touch Pro has an actual advantage over Xperia having the MSM7201A processor.

The X1 has the MSM7200. From an end user point of view I cant really tell the difference, I'm not sure what I would be looking for in performance difference. I'll benchmark the Touch Pro and the X1 later and comment on the difference from that point of view.

How is the sound output quality of the media player? Is it good enough to use high-end headphones with, and how does it compare with more music-oriented phones like the iPhone or Nokia 5800?

I've got some fairly expensive headphones that I've been using with the X1. The audio quality is really quite good, I'm certainly happy with it. I can't really choose between the X1 and my Sony Walkman MP3 player in this respect.

How well does the FM radio work? How is its reception in areas with weak signals?

I live in an area which is very poor for radio and phone coverage. With the Touch Diamond, I am unable to pick up and FM Radio service but on the X1 I can pick up a few of the local stations. What I also like about the X1 is that you can play the radio through the phone's loudspeaker, although you still have to have the headphones connected as an aerial.

How well does it hold on to cellular signals during calls?
As I said above, I live in an area that's really poor for phone coverage and all the networks are bad. The X1 shows 1 to 2 bars of coverage on Orange where the Touch Pro and the Touch Diamond get no reception at all. Definitely better than the Touch devices in that respect but nowhere near as good as a basic Nokia handset!

Good job Sony

Does the Google panel have an offline mode?
No, the Google panel really only gives you direct access to Google searches and links to Google Maps, Google Mail and Google Calendar, all of which open up an ineternet connection.

Is the hardware fast enough to cope with several applications in the background?
Have been opening and closing applications all day, playing music and videos, browsing the internet using Opera and playing with MSN and emails. Seems ok to me, haven't really noticed a slow down due to the apps that I am running.

Poin plus lagi Xperia

How quickly does using GPS, 3G/HSDPA and Wi-Fi drain the battery?
Very difficult to comment on the battery life at this early stage but it looks like being better than the Diamond and on par with, if not better than, the Touch Pro. There is a bigger battery on the X1 so perhaps no surprise that it would last longer. Once I settle down and use it during the week I'll be in a better position to comment.

Which is better, the X1 or the Touch Pro?
This is another difficult question to answer. I quite like both devices. I think which one would suit you best depends on how you use, or intend to use the phone. If you are a touchscreen lover that wants to use the touchscreen for almost everything (apart from emails with the QWERTY of course) without having to resort to the stylus then the TouchFlo3D interface coupled with the flush screen of the Touch Pro would be your better bet. If however you don't want to use the touchscreen as much and prefer using physical buttons then the X1 with its additional softkeys might suit you better.

Long live xperia

wah 780 USD..
mahal juga ya..

btw bro ada video yang menampilkan si X1 lagi playback movie gak?
trus format apa yang didukung?
Thanks b4..

Sabar dulu bro.
Itu harga UK, Indo berbeda lagi. Lagian itu juga patut dicurigain, apa masih kena harga crismon atau tidak.
Pokoknya sabar dulu saja, aku terus pantau dan beri info yang up to date.

Video, untuk playback movie sejauh ini, aku belum dpt, palingan yang record, yaitu pertandingan laga antara Sweden dengan ( lupa ).

Soal format, periksa saja di white paper, yaitu
MPEG-4, H263, H264, WMV,

dengan extension
.3gp, .mp4, .wmv
(wmv playback only through Windows Media player)

Sayangnya gak ada Divx yah, kayak Omnia. Kalau ada, bakalan tambah bagus.
Tapi sapa takut, d/l saja thrid partynya.
Sama kok

yoi..
Windows Mobile gt loh..
Daripada Omnia sih gw lebih prefer X1,,dengan layar setajam itu pasti browsing n video playback lebih memuaskan..
lagipula panelsnya kelihatannya sangat menarik.
hehhehe..

Sumpah, panelnya benar2 buat ngiler abiss.
Moga2 ada panel kayak touch pro, sapa tahu.

Touch Wiz, sebenarnya juga bagus, hanya saja menu yang ada gak bakalan bisa dikutak katik lagi. Itu kelemahan fatalnya.
Apalagi, di menu touch wiznya tidak ada sms, Bisa sms kalau ada yang sms kita dan buat replay.

Damai itu indah....

Vigge

Its great, I have absolutely no trouble seeing the screen when its sunny out.

norseman

actually its outside visability is meant to be really good, almost as good as the iphone.

Gue juga yakin akan ada lah yauw virtual phonepad normal buat sms-an...
Ada perlunya juga sms pake satu tangan, misalnya kalo lagi di lampu merah. Bukan buat sms-san sepanjang jalan sih (bahaya), paling buat kirim "udah otw" atau "ntar lagi di jln" dowang :-), tapi cukup penting buat dikirim biar gak bikin orang lain salah ngerti :-)

nunggu review soal aplikasi officenya deh...yang penting reliable kalo buat ngetik n main excel..g lemot kalo ngedit n buka file

Dari Roxy,

Dari toko, tidak ada perkembangan berita yang baik, masih sama.

Sedangkan dari toko SE retail baik yang di ruko maupun semua di Roxy, menyebutkan bahwa sudah ada pelatihan karyawan, seiring perilisan xperia
Dan karyawan juga menyebutkan bahwa tidak lama lagi xperia akan dirilis

Gentlement, start your money engine, brmmm$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
