Updated: two reviews from MoDaCo and Tracy and Matt

i just wanted to say thanks for the links, I found both reviews to be a great mixture of informative and practical reviews of the Xperia x1. It’s nice to hear a more personal synopsis of the phone!

When is the X1 being launched? is the finishing of the phone as good as that of the ol Sony P910i, after that sony hasn’t really produced a phone of the same quality exterior finish and/or durability

Shahzad, I find the P1i, after I used the P910i, of the same quality, and handier in size. The keyboard of the P910i is still the best. I ordered the xperia already and am looking forward if it will meet my expectations. The competition (nokia / apple) is stiff this time. Cheers Jurjen

I have a proper retail X1, it arrived from O2 on 5th November as an upgrade.

So far I am very disappointed. Put simply the Google Maps and Google panel are missing and I only have a few other panels; 3D Fish, Media Xperience Panel, O2 Panel, Sony Ericsson Panel 1, Sony Ericsson Panel 2, XperiaRadio Panel.

So I make that six panels plus the default Windows panel, so the product does not come with what it evens shows on the picture of the phone on the box!

How come so much of the functionality reviewed on here and promoted on the Sony Ericsson Website is missing from the X1 a customer actually receives after parting with their cash and signing up to a contract?

Update on my earlier entry, have had a call back from SonyEricsson and aparantly O2 in customising the phone have chosen to remove Google Maps and the Google Panel.

So I am going to now have a heated chat with O2 and unless they restore this features, the phone is going to be returned as not as advertised on its own packaging!

So if you want all the functionality of this phone, don’t get it from O2!

O2 customers, if you are unhappy with O2 removing stuff from your phone, then use O2′s own review site to make yourself heard.

No doubt the censors will not publish the unfavourable comments, but if they have to block lots of comments then, maybe, just maybe, they will sort this out by making a new firmware update available with the functionality restored.

I bought this phone last week on the strength of reviews like this.

However, it has now been RMA’d and I’m back to my TYTN II because the Blackberry functionality (bbconnect) is essential for my needs.

Until the Xperia can support bbconnect, sadly I’ll never buy one.
