hi guys, i may going to buy tis phone soon..
can u guys provide me some advices or comments?
things like wat shud i concern about or wat shud i check when buying??
thx 1st guys..

Well.....all I can say its a pretty darn good phone. Suits all my needs and expectations. Depends on what you are looking for in a phone and what you use your phone. But bewarn that if you are not the computer or gadget savvy type of user....then you will have some headache handling the phone in the initial phase. The functions are much  more 'advanced' than normal phones.

If u wan to be on the safe side then u should buy the ori phone like me....save you lotsa worries and headache. I will only buy ap if they are less complicated or advanced phones. Heck they cant even repair my C702  They updated the phone with some FW that I cant update with SEUS. So was stuck with the old FW that keeps the phone restarting......So I sold off the phone. If that also they cant repair...think bout the Xperia

wou wou.. cool down.. since reading so many post u posted. I didnt see wat should u check while buying phone. but better to get original firmware running on the phone.

else, should b alrite. but must confirmed that (from baronic's post) , all hardware is working. like keyboard (all keys is working), GPS, screen no dead pixel, xperia optical sensor directional pad is working.

nothing else nid to be check and baronic post is written all those.

if u stick to original phone, and running original firmware.. u get lesser worries compare to AP. as our bro said, AP phone service can be quite bad and cant even service his SE phone. Original phone is more recommended but it is still up to personal preferences. Of offence that i agree with TOMEI-R.

besides, i would love to said this again. "WM phone is most customizable phone EVER in world NOW". hehehe.. so no worries la.. everything should b fine.

and this one u r quite rude compare to all of us here.

Bro WindChaseR, don't be frustrated easily thinking that ppl don't want to guide u.
Actually most the bro here already given the guideline.
Bro Baronic's guide already cover most of the critical. and Bro TomeiR's suggestion on buying Ori is a undoubtable suggestion for most of the ppl who worry much.
For me, it doesn't matter it's AP since my fren guarantee repair for me if anything go wrong. Make sure u buy from trustable shop to avoid they exchange anything or supplied u a 2nd hand or recond unit.

MOst of the users are happy and benefited from here and only u alone r saying that. think about it 

the newest ROM is R3AA. which is verry new and might not even be flashed into your new ROM.
but hey, upgrading it yourself is verry easy. and i have to agree, WM is currently the most customizable phone that i have ever used.

@Winchaser

understand how you feel not getting your answer promptly reply by us, not that we doesnt want to share or help even if we saw your question we wont reply immediately it is because most pro user here do has their own jobs/times and family to taking care 1st.

i congratulate you for taking 1st step into WindoMobile Phone BUT Using Winmo unlike any others normal phones. 1st thing you MUST hv is Patient and Do not Rush my young apprentice..

the previous one is R2AA. pls refer to link below for all the ori X1 firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
But for us it is not important anymore after we start flashing ROM.

For AP there will be different subfix for the AP set from diff countries.
like mine is R3AA007 TW set.
If u don't want the chinese keypad, better ask for the english version before order. i was regret no doing that. the TW set keypad really got too many characters on a key!!!

btw, actually how many type of english keypad for X1? i might thinking to change it.

yes, it's slideout hardware keypad.

Chinese "ZhuYin" version:


English version:


We are no longer using Zhuyin (Taiwanese use), we use pingyin with alphabet.
So the extra Zhuyin symbols on the keypad are useless and distracting!!!

black is great i love it...^^ but my phone less software cham dont know go where to download...u chinese keypad shd b on ap set onli ba original set wont got those so ugly ting ba?

hmm.. i diden heard bout that things yet...hahah.. but i apply protector on my lens too... 

there is some reason that device might get slower day by day. first, by installing n uninstalling application might get ur device slower. or there is registry tweakthat doesnt applied (that y we use 3rd party rom which was pre-applied a lot of registry tweak). besides, lots of software services will also get a slower device. or even a old rom will have slower device too.. various reason as windows mobile is exactly like problematic as windows. but it is still among the best.. what to do?

to forward a sms, open ur threaded message. use directional button to scroll up until u reach the "single" sms is highlighted. then tap on right soft key and forward it. to easy the task, another method was, tap and hold the "single" message u wan to forward. then select "forward" options from right context menu.

im not sure whether im posted this b4. there is mostly 2 -3 ways to install games. it depend on the extention.
my one:
rom version : valkyrie_v2 WWE
rom date: 09/09/08
radio version : 1.16.25.48v

yeah quite old dy.. now is already R3AA. yes u can upgrade via seus. they diden detect whether is AP or thorus.. but juz xperia x1.
for GPRS, u can google modaco nodata. that is good software that disable Data connection.

official radio for xperia is v1.10 for R2AA.. but im not so sure for R3AA.. whether is v1.10 still or v1.14..

latest R3AB somebody said can get extract v1.16 out from there.. no so sure whether stock rom will using tat..
