Dear all,
My Softbank X01HT need replace. I would like to buy a Touch pro or X1 or Touch HD. (Mainly is Touch Pro or X1. It is because it has a keyboard) My requirement is the mobile run smooth and sound louder. Any suggestion? Please advise. Thanks!

There are a lot of tests, comparisons and videos to exactly this decision all over the web. It's being discussed here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430501
I had to decide between these both too, because I wanted a WinMo device with a hardware keyboard. I then chose the Xperia for these reasons:
- better display with higher resolution
- longer battery lifetime
- 3,5" headphone jack
And I definitely don't regret the decision. The Xperia is simply the best pocketpcphonemusicplayer I ever had.
if you have a doubt... I strongly recommend you go get the Touch Pro....
only because I have a X1 and I want to be the only guy with the cool toy when everyone get their phone out in the bar
I was with the same doubt days ago.
I've chosen the X1 for various reasons, althrough the touch pro is cheaper:
- screen
- lighter
- better looking
- screen (again)
- curved slider (works nicely)
- slimer
- battery
- panels (through I don't really use them, they are like "beta" right now, for me, has more potential than TouchFlo. Also, I hate TouchFlo, don't like at all that interface)
Anyways, in the end, it's a matter of tastes, take a look at the two, compare keyboards (touch pro got a bunch of extra keys) and get the one you like more.
If you have the chance: try each of them out. Even a little typing test at a store gets you far -> if you're looking for a hw keyboard device testing each of them tells you alot. My preference is with the better keyboard of the TP and now that I have them both I tend to choose TP for main use and X1 for the weekends.
Many have experienced the X1 as the better performer sound-wise and I have also the feeling that X1 is smoother to use (drawback to me here is the limited use of each panel -> touchflo gives me more in one interface. The panels really taka a couple of secs to change between).
..btw: searching this forum gets you a ton of threads also such similar phones have been compared 'ad nauseam'..
As an owner of both the Xperia is much better for me...
xperia. better than that chubby feeling weird thing they call the touch pro
Lol, just stumbled on this thread, and boy are a lot of you full of yourselves with the X1.
Xperia surely gets me more attention than the iphone which is so common now.
also, people love it when i pull out the keyboard..they almost give out that 'wow' look.
x1 here 2
seeing as you are posting on the x1 section of the forum would be logical ;p
same reasons as the others it seems
some extra
i played with a iphone, pro, hd and x1 before deciding (phones of colleages)
the x1 is more responsive,
feels stronger,
touch screen seems more sensitive and lies a bit deeper in the phone
-->so less im lying on the table/in protector activating myself but more hard to remove dust at the edge of the screen (do get a decent protector as there is none included)
My wife has a pro (that i have to maintain (software ...)) i dont like the flow interface, looks good but isn't functional. that said i only use the Spb panel on the x1. (as main, do use the players ...)
i like that interface. panels could grow in the future.
...
Thank you all of your reply. I still worry about the GPS, ringtone and UI for X1. But I will go to try these phone on tonight. I hope I will not disappoint.

Saw the Touch Pro and I prefer the X1. Larger screen, feels less bulky, less cramped keyboard.
UI you can fix - just get the TF3D menu software or go for SPB Mobile Shell
Ringtone - what's the issue? It does mp3's just fine. Only annoyance is for alarm tones u need to convert to WAV 1st (no MIDI allowed), but hardly a major problem.
GPS works fine - I have Tomtom running on it, and it's as good as the not-so-cheapo Mio Digiwalker I picked up two years ago

What about the UI?
The panels are great. With the SE-Panel you have everything you need in one panel -calender, messaging, weather, shortcuts aso...
You don't need to change pages like with the touchflothing. TouchFlo is one of the reasons for me not to buy a HTC phone.
I now have the SE Desktop Panel with everything I need, additionally a fullscreen weather panel if I want to know more about forecast, windspeeds and whatelse, one panel for everything that's multimedia and one panel is for the navigation software TomTom which works great with with the internal GPS.
Hm, I don't know what your issue with the ringtones is, but I haven't got a problem with them except that the speaker isn't the best so the doublebassdrum and electric guitars don't blow you away
Haha...Another problem occurs ....X1 or HD??(Haha...don't hit me...)
Hi there all, I have been searching for a good today plugin type launcher... one that just sits on the today screen as a plugin but allows me to access and launch programs and apps in much the same was as HTC home did for my TyTN II...
I have at the moment on my today screen
the standard clock/date bar *
calendar *
message bar *
newsbreak *
tomtom
skype
home ++ *
the google search plugin
and finally spb wifi/gprs/data counter *
I also use and love the S2U2 and would like to keep this
Can anyone help me out with a good launcher that doesnt suck battery or memory and can incorporate all the above (leaving the items with a * next to them visible)... I have been looking at ultimate launch, iLauncher, pocketbreeze and a couple of others but still cant make up my mind or figure out a heck of alot just looking at the pretty pics on the screen... advice would be greatly appreciated... many thanks in advance...
having moved from the tytn II as well, i decided that i couldn't really beat my old setup and just went with htc home on my x1.
i tried a few other launchers and couldn't find anything to beat it. i have bound Launch Manager to a double-press of my left softkey to access the rest of my apps quickly ...
i'm using the vga version of htc home called PJC HTC Home. it was acting a bit strange when i first installed it but it works flawlessly now ...
Can you access the weather on it? and are all the other functions fully functioning now? I found there were a few hiccups with HTC Home... I did have that on at one stage and I do like it but the weather bug and lesser functionality was a bit of a downer for me...
it works perfectly.
there was a bit of a lag when switching to landscape initially but it either fixed itself (?) or i re-installed it and it worked perfectly.
the weather thing was fixed by a regedit - i think the timeout had to be increased to get the weather to work properly.
the only think that didn't seem to work was the music tab but i use s2p instead now so that's cool.
Ok I might give it another shot... many thanks for your advice...
the Big VGA home from the x7510 works as well (see the athena sections).

can't remember trying on the x1.
Shouldn't be that hard to get working if not, especially if you have audiomanager installed.
Hi to all,
First i like to say hello to everyone, I've recently join Xda developer, this is my first post. I would like to know if anyone have tried Pointui on Treo Pro. If so what is the outcome? i like to try it on my Treo Pro, but i don't see any square screen apps in Pointui.
Thanks
Its fully compatible
Its a amazing app, for me the only trouble is with realVGA, on the 96dpi settings, the screen on home 2 is aligned to left =/
If anyone knows how to fix that, i apreciate.
Thanks man, i will try it, i hope it doesn't slow down my Treo.

Hi all
Yesterday I've updated my DHD to official HTC gingerbread rom
everything runs perfect I guess , except sense
It lags too much that's so annoying
and the only solution I've is to use blackboard theme the it runs smooth again~~~
does anyone having this problem
please If anyone know how can I solve this please help me
I already love this rom
thanks for reading
and sorry for my english
I am confused, what do you mean by sense lag? It is Home screen lag? Is it screen change transition lag? Is is app drawer lag?
Are you using any widgets like Elixir?
Thanks for replying and sorry for not being clear in the post
I mean the transition change , when I slide pages of my home screen it lags so much
There's already a thread about this here:
