So give us the inside scoop on the Xperia X1... Have you tested it, are you going to test it, will AT&T carry it, can I have it when your done? ;)

[KD8DNS]

I have used the device, other than that, I will have to plead the fifth.:D

[mchapman007]

I have used the device, other than that, I will have to plead the fifth.:D

So I shouldn't wait to get the Tilt? Or get the Tilt now and then give it to my wife when the X1 comes out? This is killing me...... :eek:

[KD8DNS]

So I shouldn't wait to get the Tilt? Or get the Tilt now and then give it to my wife when the X1 comes out? This is killing me...... :eek:

Get the tilt for now, no decisions have been absolute yet, and it most likely will be a while before a decision is made. Once a decision is made, you have to explore which markets, demographics, and marketability. Then the orders get placed. So get a tilt for now and wait till we see what happens.

P.S. Ive got a x1 on my desk at work right now LOL. Sorry i had to put that out there.

In any case, my wife is the one the gets the best of both worlds. She would get my 8525 if I get the Tilt, then the Tilt if I got the X1....

[greatestkelvin]

I am a rock star

[KD8DNS]

Well, if and when the X1 becomes avail from AT&T, it is a delight of a device. With that being said, even if AT&T does not release it branded, you could still obtain a unlocked version. If AT&T decides to go with the X1 today you will not see it on the shelf for another 2-3 months. So it is a hard choice to make. I use the Tilt, Blackberry 8310, and Motorola Q (i know i have a hard time keeping my belt tight) and the Tilt is by far the best device I have ever used. Oh yea i had a Iphone about 1 month before they were released to gen public, and i feelt that it was the worst device i ever tested (i say that off record) HA HA HA. :eek:

Hey Jym, I'm also from Brazil. I'm from Rio, but I live in São Paulo, and I'm a lawyer... No jokes, please! ;)

A friend of mine recently bought the TyTN II from Claro, but did not like it! Go figure...

Anyways, I'm gonna buy it from him, but I'm a TIM customer. As you have the same phone, can you confirm if the KaiserUnlocker.exe will work ok?

Also, which ROM/Radio are you using? I want to install an official one first. Should I go with:

1 - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.02.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.30. 05_1.58.26.20.rar
or
2 - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40. 02_1.64.06.04.rar;

[clonmult]

I'm almost wishing I'd chosen a different career ...

Nominally software development, been working on service desk applications for the past few years. Great earner, but I wish I'd got into ECU design work years back - I did a lot of assembler at Unit (ARM, Intel Microcontrollers). Its a lot more entertaining to work around a system with 4k of ROM and 128/256 bytes of RAM than it is to work with gigabytes of storage.
