No, it's not as big as iPhone, but it surely is bigger than the one that came with the original ROM inside your Xperia now.

Last time U asked how to make your Xperia great right?
Simple, just flash your phone with a 3rd party ROM & then you'll find just how great your X1 will be.

What is flash?
Flash is something like installing windows in your PC.

if u download this:
FingerKeyb-2.0-WVGA.cab (581.3 KB, 29121 views)

it is a .cab file and not a zip file. but then if u do read the title. they updated it to v2.1 already. and it is a cab file but not a zip.

u juz nid to download it and dump the whole .cab into ur phone. then use ur file explorer to run it.

if u still say cant find .cab anywhere. then pls assume the .zip is a .cab. then dump the '.zip' into ur phone n run it. (if cant , then i oso no way to solve
dy).

for the gadgetshieldz. i can buy for u. probably u can pm me ur address. 1st time i order 2 skin, they took around 4-6days. this time they took 10-14 days.

yeah.. that one i download it.. ok2.. i try it now.. hope it will works..

for that gadgetshieldz.. thanks.. im pm u now..

u sound like flash is a part of toys.. lols..

flashing is re-write the whole rom with another winmo. i took 10 mins to flash, 20 mins to hours or days to customize / install /setup again. furthermore u nid to backup, restore, customize, get used to it, testing, and tweak it as per ur preference.

sounds serious? yeah it is. but once u get used it, it is fast to have it done.

Yes, Valkyrie is a good choice, though you have to remember that there are multiple version of Valkyrie out there.
I've tested every single version of Valkyrie but nothing beats the 28008 TR.

What rkwan67 said is true, flashing a Windows Mobile phone is not as easy as you think.
It takes days for a newbie to fully customize their phone, but for me, I only need 1 hour starting from the 1st minute of flashing to the finishing of installing 24 games.

The best choice for a newbie is to have a guru beside you teaching you about flashing, backup, hardSPL.

Once you've got to know about flashing, you'll be able to do it again in less than 1 hour.

PS: The word newbie written above is not meant to offend you or anyone, it's meant for new users in flashing.

OMG! yeah.. that sound serious.. hope i not damage my x1.. huhu.. so far it already more than 10mins.. thats y i ask about the flashing.. i thought there is a problem.. means customize on your term?

what is tweak? is it setting?

wweeeeee i did backup pim backup...but left out garmin bookmarks >_<"

By using Windows Mobile Device Center & Microsoft Outlook.
I'm not sure about other people, but I only backup the phone book inside the phone.
But since Windows Mobile Device Center & Microsoft Outlook is already installed in my PC, I only need to backup once. Everytime you connect the PDA to your PC, WMDC will synchronize the phone book automatically with Microsoft Outlook.

HardSPL is like flashing the bios of your PC.
It's the first step before flashing your phone with a 3rd party ROM's.

If you don't do HardSPL, you may brick your phone.
HardSPL is the easiest among the 3 flashing steps.

3 Steps Of Flashing
1st: HardSPL.
2nd: [Optional] Flash the radio to the latest version. In this case, the best choice is Radio version 1.16.25.48.
3rd: Flashing the ROM of your choice.

gosh! sounds so hard la.. im afraid i brick my phone.. .. maybe i need practical from someone.. usually i learn from practical.. means i see people do n then i follow.. then adding some knowledge with reading some info.. like now i get the info but dont have practical.. so im scared to try.. it totaly diff with psp.. psp i think easy to understand.. im upgrade my psp by my own..

there is a video tutorial posted on xda.. but since u oledi hard-spl i assume. dun bother about that. juz flash ur rom would be enough. check ur radio as well. if not the latest, then flash it..

I forgot to put this in my previous post:
You only need to do HardSPL once.

After that, you can flash as much as you want.
The HardSPL is to enable you to use 3rd Party ROM's.

PS: Do you have a laptop that uses Windows Vista or Windows 7? If you do, we can meet somewhere & I'll bring along the necessary stuff that is needed to flash your Xperia to make it grand.

The reason why I asked for Vista / 7 based laptop is because WMDC for Windows XP is kinda different from WMDC for Windows 7 & Windows Vista.
I never use WMDC for Windows XP, but I've seen it once while my brother is using HTC Trinity P3600i before he sold his unit & bought an Xperia for himself after he fell in love with my Xperia. LOLz.
