Nope, not planning to. I'm waiting for a release good enough to change, I'm not a flashing addict lol

I would suggest lurking around Garage Sales for some really good 2nd hand deals. Lately I've been seeing a lot of threads selling few months old original X1 at ridiculously low prices.

Really make me regret buying my X1 so early

Nope, Malaysia don't have this kind of plan.

Honestly la, even if you buy new set most likely you'll encounter build quality issues with the X1. Cracks, keyboard problem and recently the slide out ribbon problem is more and more common.

That is why for X1 I strongly recommend you to buy an original set, whether 2nd or not it's really up to you.

On the other hand, I found a nifty feature in TF3D!

For those of you who want to monitor the currency market, you'll notice that the Stock tab only offers certain countries to USD. There's a trick around it.

1. First, go to http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter

2. Select the currencies you want to compare. For example, I take Canadian Dollars against Malaysian Ringgit.

3. Click '5 Days Trend'

4. Copy down the words after 'Compare:' (Example: CADMYR=X)

5. Go to your Stock tab and Add Stock.

6. Type out the words you have copied down. (Example: CADMYR=X) Must be EXACT.

7. Select the search results and voila! You can regularly monitor the currency!

Initially it was thought the the white ones crack easier due to different build material, but over the time more and more black ones have problems too. So I think it doesn't matter, pick which one that looks nicer to you.

They changed the design for those who went for RMA if I'm not mistaken, not new units.

For keyboard problem, just search keyboard in this thread and you should know the problem.
Ribbon problem is when you slide out the keyboard,the screen goes blank. This is caused by a short in the ribbon, some people are having difficulty to RMA for this.

Device that matches X1? Maybe Touch Pro, the problem is just the screen resolution. TP2 is way more expensive.

Added on December 15, 2009, 5:25 pmAlmost everybody has the crack and keyboard problem. Ribbon problem is quite new and is affecting more people.

I personally have the keyboard and crack problem. My crack problem appeared much later than others, but keyboard problem much earlier.

I didn't fix it, using on-screen keyboard now

For the ribbon, they are original sets but they're overseas so I'm not sure which company.

Mine is Singapore set

Case crack: Overseas people successfully claim warranty. In Malaysia, I'm not sure. But one of our forummer was rejected, he lives in Sarawak.

Keyboard: Overseas people also successfully claim warranty. In Malaysia, don't know.

Ribbon: Overseas people having difficulty to claim warranty. In Malaysia, not common yet so I also don't know.

It's not WinMo problem. When you slide out the keyboard, the ribbon will short the connection to your LCD. That's why no display. Try to type a few words, and go back portrait?

Actually I don't mind the cracks, as they are minor and barely noticeable.

But the keyboard problem really kills off the X1's feasibility and productivity.

What about keyboard problem on the latest batch?

Seems like Omnia II more and more worth it to buy...

A lot of bling bling hor

Expect the X2 to cost a bomb for almost the same specs as X1 and TP2.

So yeah...

And also, considering SE's past performance in QC, I think it's better to get TP2 as people are not getting much complains about quality.

Wah, and you paid for it somemore? Really need to find someone to sue already.


Oh, then get X2 is ok also. But the price...expect it to be somewhere around 2.5k I guess. But please constantly get yourself updated on the forums where X2 users meet, there might be build quality issues that pop out suddenly, just like how it happened to X1. (3 times somemore )

Erm even the X2 doesn't get support from XDA because it's not a HTC phone. X1 is one of those unique phones hahaha

EXACTLY! I was so pissed about the keyboard problem! If only it didn't have the problem, I don't give a damn about the crack, I would be so happy as an X1 user!

I mean, how often do you see a phone that is basically HTC inside, but outside it's all the full glory of SE's awesome-sauce design? PLUS, let's not forget it's a phone that comes with a really nice full QWERTY hardware keyboard.

On paper, X1 is almost a dream come true, until....


THE FRIGGIN KEYBOARD PROBLEM!

-----------------

Anyway, if you want hardware keyboard and extensive support from xda, seriously consider TP2.

Or X1, if you're a style freak like me. Polish your 'open-phone-and-clean-keyboard-skill' and do it when your keyboard acts up.

CorePlayer.

For quick picture taking, use X1 camera and press the center button of the D Pad to snap. It's quite ok, not blur because your hand doesn't shake unlike pressing the dedicated camera button.

For quality picture taking like macro or nice face shots, use HTC Camera. The long and detailed focus is very good in taking pictures.

Weird, I'm using Valkyrie ROM and the battery is just fine. Though if heavy usage then the battery will definitely drop fast, like WiFi + GPS.

But if just SMS or light WiFi, it drops really slow.
