Software and reviews on Xperia X1

---

Hi,

first, I would like to ask if anybody knows about the software that is actually shipped with the Xperia X1 (not on the test releases, but on the ones that we can get soon)? Are there any other tools than the WM6.1 tools? (Like, a Navigation system? A media player? Games? Business software?)??

Second, are there any reviews from "independend" magazines testing the devices that are shipped (rather than any "latest beta releases")??

Thanks for info!

Eriol

But keep in mind that the manual is a Draft version and there may be various changes in the final device... but it definitely will cut close to the final release.

I think this is the first review available. Use google translator or something:

Thank you very much! This war very interesting to read. The end:
Very good battery life! Good quality of camera and videofunction. Solid build.

There is some speculation this review is based on a 256mb proto, but i think we can safely say, the retail will not be any different, since teh author says the device is fast and stable and the build quality is also good. so as far as that is concerned everything works fine on a 256mb proto (if it is a proto) and should work even better on retail version.

They didn't mention anything of the specs - i.e. how much RAM and actual speed of switching panels, etc... so we really can't say for sure if it is final or not. Anyways, i posted the same link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433491

That review is in dutch, by MR over at Mobile-Review (a trusted reviewer). He's added some comments on their forums too.

He says it runs fast, no problems there. Keyboard sounds better than his earlier impressions would have you believe, but clearly inferior to the Touch Pro. Build quality is fantastic. Panels poorly implemented, Opera browser poorly implemented (for example the Google panel goes to PIE instead), WinMo barely covered at all by panels - especially bad given how small the text/icons are on this resolution screen - AKA not finger friendly at all. All in all disappointing out-of-the-box experience - what remains to be seen is what people can do with panels, or better yet, porting TF3D to this phone.

As i said there was a bit of speculation over at esato. But it does not matter. If it's retail it works fine, if it's proto, the retail will work fine as well. Most certanly it's the latest ROM.

Regarding this review I would say xperia is an awsome piece of hardware. And if there is enough interest in improving this "out-of-the-box" XPERIAnce, especially on this forum, it will also make an outstanding phone on the whole. I really hope this happens.

Anyone seen any 3rd party panels yet? My google searches haven't turned up a single one!
