Latest Buzz On Xperia
With all the excitement leading up to the release of the Xperia X1 there have been many new videos posted by people who were able to attend the recent showcase events of the upcoming release by Sony Ericcson.
There has been a lot of news circulating since Sony Ericcson issued the official September 30, 2008 date for the UK, Sweden, and Germany. For instance, one common question is about the release date in America, which has now been confirmed as being released on Nov. 3, 2008 by the American Sony Ericcson representatives. (Up until now most of the information on the xperia x1 has come from the UK)
Many people may also be interested in knowing that it has been confirmed that the xperia x1 will be released in both silver and black by the crew at the official Sony Ericcson blog website. As of right now, there are no plans to release the Smartphone in any other colors, but if this bothers you than you are probably forgetting about the multitude of skins that are sure to hit markets after the phone does.
Another notable piece of news from the xperiancers website is that the Xperia X1 comes equipped with a very sophisticated chipset so that movies and film clips uploaded or recorded on the upcoming Sony Ericcson phone will be viewable in DVD quality.
This speaks highly of the time and effort that went into making the xperia x1, and helps soothe the pain of how long we have been waiting for its release.
Additionally, the SE Xperia X1 will come loaded with an ATI 3D gaming chip so it can support very high level games. Thus, for those of you who were wondering if the X1 would permit you to support your World of Wars, gaming habits, you can rest at night knowing the Xperia creators had your best interests in mind.
Plus, for those on the other end of the spectrum, who have been wondering about the musical abilities of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, there is still no news about rather the new Sony Play multimedia downloader will be supported.
However, the good news is that a BT speaker accessory will be immediately available for purchase so you can use your phone to its max mp3 abilities soon after purchase. (That is if you have any cash left!)
In fact, if you have the cash there are some more prominent accessories you may want for your new xperia x1 including a travel charger, hands free headset, extra battery, and a speakerphone. You can check out some pictures of the accessories here if you wish. One thing you will notice about all the accessories is that they are just as streamlined as the Xperia X1 itself!
Would like to know the differences between UK and USA version for folks who don't have patient to wait. (Support GSM 850 and AT&T's 3G?)

haha.
confirmed by who??
by the American Sony Ericcson representatives
Atleast that's what it says.
they also said this!
"According to a Sony Ericsson rep at the CTIA Wireless trade show today, the X1 will not have separate European and US hardware versions, so the UK model will work well in the US."

But wait, I'm confused. I thought that the original comment that Sony Ericsson stated was that it was coming out 9-30-08 for UK and Sweden and sometime late December for Asia and sometime in Q1 2009 for America?
This is just getting too confusing. I would more expect the Q1 2009 for America because when have we ever gotten something as quick as 33 days after the UK (when it comes to phones).

oh, well that makes it much easier. I guess I'm gonna wait till then and I was so close to buying the fuse.
I just ordered mine throught Expansys 10 minutes ago, and paid in full via PayPal.
Now the real test of patience begins...
Hopefully I'll have it in my hands in a week or two max!
why does it take so much longer for phones to come out in the USA?...
seriously, **** the FCC.

im glad. I would like them to know how i feel about waiting so long for the x1!
Hah, it's not the FCC's fault, the AT&T Fuze was approved by FCC a long time ago. Why isn't it here? You can thank HTC/AT&T for that one.

Are there any news or rumors on the HTC Omni at this year's CES ?
this is the only thing i've found so far...
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12727
yeah, I have read this too. ... rumors ... I also read something about a video output as well ... damn how long do we have to wait ? Is there any event in the near future when the omni could be announced? What is the most likely time when we can buy the htc universal successor ? The HTC Universal could be bought in august 2005 (Germany T-Mobile) 7 months after it was announced ... *shrugh*
The next most likely place (if it's anywhere near ready) would be at 3GSM in early Feb... So not that long to wait...
And then after that, maybe Cebit in Germany in March/April time frame...
blackstone is my next choice for a phone after having a polaris for a while now.
the problem is that i live in israel and we don't have it here.
I'd like to know if anyone knows where i could buy it but not in a package deal but only the device itself. I'll order it somehow..
thanks.

Well, it hasn't even been officially released, so wait until its released to start looking to buy it. Most dates that say they will ship aren't so reliable.
Look at this site. . .

Ya I remember the Raphael, that was put back about 5 or 6 times. ended up 4 weeks later than originaly expected
Are HTC doing a big announcement for this phone or are they going to keep it on the DL so that the G1 gets all the publicity and be called an Iphone challenger which it isn't the HD I would consider is.
It HAS been officially released. It was officially released by HTC a couple weeks ago and officially released by O2 in Germany today or yesterday or something. Now, if you mean for sale, it is not for sale yet but will be probably within the week.
who are we looking at for a service provider here in the states?
Probably will start with Sprint as they are the primary carrier of HTC flagship phones. After 30 days or so it will prolly be picked up by AT&T and T-Mobile, then Verizon and Altel.

You have it backwards. Released means for sale and what you said means they officially announced it.
Ah k my bad.
Hey guys... good to see the thread up and running for this great new HTC offering. I will certainly be trading in the Diamond, mainly because battery life and camera but also love the bigger screen and I don´t use the D Pad on the Diamond so better to have more screen space!!
Back to the topic....Do you they´ll release it in Asia first like the Diamond? I remember you could buy the Diamond on Ebay from HK about 4 weeks before the official Europe release.
I think Germany has already gotten first dibs on it. o2 is supposed to be the first carrier to get it.

Is electromaticinc.net trustworthy?

It now says €577,15
Let's hope the prices keep in this zone. It will be far less than what I paid for the Kaiser I'm currently using. And it's less than the Touch Pro (€ 589,05)
I am just wondering how many Xperia X1 have been sold out all over the world ?
Is the number somewhere near 1 mil ?
CAn we safely assume that 10% of all users on XDA have an X1?
I would not assume that 10% of all XDA-Dev members have an Xperia X1.
I dont know how often this phone is sold but when I look how many people
are currentlyviewing the phone threads the Touch HD is always best visited.
Greets,
p.s. used google? Once I saw a news that showed the numbers...
remember a while ago SE announce that the XPERIA was selling "well" said sony
hehe , 10% is a great success for Sony if its true ^^.
But as i can see , the X1 section on XDA have a quite large amount of posts and page-view ,though X1 is quite new , so the number of X1 must not be small
Bump for "I want to know too".
I doubt it's very high.
I have recently noted it being promoted in Carphone Warehouse in the UK, which is a very positive development. Not sure if the subsidized prices in the UK are enough to move a lot of units...???
Can't comment on most of the rest of the world. Not sold through any carriers in North America, though rumoured to be coming on Rogers this sooner (not sure if that's still valid).
It will get killed by the Touch Pro 2 soon...
i live in New York City, amd i havent met one person whom has an x1...and i also work for At&t and see tons of phones from EU and Japan, but 0 x1's
go figure...
i do have 1 though.
X1 sold
Hi everybody,
I already met 6 people here in Cologne Germany having one and two more telling they would get one when their contracts will be due.
Since it is rather expensive that is understandable.
I hope it spreads more - I really like the combination.
im in the uk (isle of wight - small island at the bottom)
and i have 2 other friends that have it.
so thats 3 people including me that i know have it here (and thats just close friends) so i think in the uk its sell well.
i think its probally not selling as well in the us as it is in europe
the x1 would have to be the biggest flop ever.... i have not ever seen one other person with an x1 and i travel between sydney, brisbane and melbourne often. not 1!
worst $1500AUD i ever spent and i feel ripped off by SE.

u did get ripped off. worked it out that $1500aud works out £750 in real money. u can buy a new sim free x1 in black for £400 or in silver for £450 online in the uk and only £550 if u buy it in a shop on the high street. u paid well over the top for it.
here in SWE, i've seen quite a lot since it was launched back in Oct.
Hello XDA followers
Got some good news for people who are anxious about the release of the Xperia S and do not want to wait for the European release
the Xperia S will be released in Japan on Feb 24th
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/next/so02d/index.html
Whoever wants the Sony Ericsson NX (xperia S) LT26
PM me so i can send you the purchase info
note: its branded Sony Ericsson
this is what it will look like if you order
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5g2eNTkpg
i see a sim card adaptor
Peace
note: i do not have anything to benefit from this
and famous " alsaqr " is back after a year and bringing back lots of good news for us. Thanks for researching this information and keep us posted on this.
I am definitely interested on one like last year when I got the Japanese ARC from the same seller and his service is very good.
Thank you again.
According to the Xperia S spec sheet, the phone will support U.S. 3G. There will be no "a" and "i" version. As the "i" version will still support at&t 3G.
Networks:
UMTS/HSPA 850/900/1900/2100
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
I remember that this was a LT26i and even if what you said is correct still having the phone a month earlier is awesome. Maybe you can wait...

I actually got confirmation from unknown13x that the "i" version will be quad band UMTS and will support at&t 3G (which is what the spec sheet states). I am not trying to keep you from ordering the Japanese S. I just wanted to share this info
I really want the ion for its 4.6" screen. I watch a lot of stuff on my arc (mostly anime), so a larger screen and higher res would benefit me greatly. Not to mention the dual-core processor that allows me to watch them directly without reencoding.
1280x720 + 4.6 inch screen = Awesomeness
I like this phone. But it's a pity that they don't allow us to open battery cover on it.

As soon as Docomo releases more information on their webpage and pricing which shouldn't be that far away. Maybe something around $650to $750on eBay when this guys is selling..hopefully less.

There is no reason to get a model that might be difficult to unlock and has different software when you can just get the European version this time. The Xperia S that will be sold in Europe has support for the AT&T bands you know...
$570 if you get it from Germany. And that gets you a proper unlocked phone with 2-year warranty and all possible software updates.

+1. I agree. I will probably get it from Europe if SonyStyle USA does not sell it. However, people want to have it a month or so earlier to show it off. I don't blame them!

Let's see what comes out of the whole story. So far nothing on the S except pre-orders with no specs. We count on the NX since it is more solid as we can see it or maybe we change our mind.
But always investigation is nice to see your options. I was just wondering if that Acro HD with TV tuner and Antenna works anywhere else besides Japan?
Xperia S release date confirmed 5-March-2012

hope the Japanese Feb release will have a reasonable price
guys as far as i remember (from X10 & ARC) the Docomo models (SO-xx) are slightly different, hardware wise, than the International/Global versions...
the International/Global versions generally get quicker official updates & maximum support, development wise... so the kernels/basebands for these devices may be different and may not support cross flashing (like ARC/ARC S)...
these DoCoMo models may not compatible with standard firmwares (kindly correct me if i am wrong)... so if a new update is released for the International/Global version then it may not work on the DoCoMo version...
so keep the above in mind before buying this...
I received email from Sony Ericsson that "Sony Ericsson" will be replaced with "Sony".
The first phone that will be launched is Sony XPERIA Arc S
I have bad experience about product of Sony Corp and Sony Ericsson. In somewhat their product isn't so good, TV, Home theater and soon could not last so long compare to other company and their price is always higher. I also have one Sony Clie UX50. That is the last time I bought Sony, full of crap
XPERIA X1 is a trial, I though Sony Ericsson will be different but... oh yeah, without XDA-Developers, this phone is also full of crap.
So will Sony XPERIA Arc S be different?
If the price is higher than Lumia 800, I won't go for it.
Palm (US) vs Sony (JP) huh?
I am not from US nor Japan. But I always satisfy of US product, Palm is absolutely more reasonable and durable than Sony Clie, I have several Palm and Clie. 2 of 3 Clie is broken now, but all my palm PDA never gave any problem.
Japan product is full of sh*t now maybe it "WAS" good. Now, they produce a high price product but the quality is about even worse than China.
I use Ford Fiesta car for a year without problem because it's stronger than the stupid pricey Honda (Jazz) Car. I can give more comparasion between US and JP products. US product is always better.
Sony changes name... But whatever Sony Ericsson and othe japan Company do, I will not buy those crap. X1 is enough.
