To tell the truth, I had a conversation today with the Blackberry rep. Played with the BOLD for a short while and I really liked it. But let me first wait and see how the X1 behave itself this weekend. Going to install Manilla TF3D now. Will let you guys know.
 
hey all

just an update on my experia experience. haha corny. i know. lol

this phone is amazing.
installed touchflo3d manila. everyone says it takes 30 mins+ to install. mine took like ten only to install to phone memory. it works so so so well.

video playback is also awesome. that james bond trailer is an AWESOME feature to show off the phone with...

also here's a couple of tips:
sign up to xperiax1.net
DONT install wayfinder navigation

ps. vodacom vs mtn is no real diff really.

mtn: around 475 bucks/month with R350 airtime
vodacom R244 monthly phone cost or around R6000 upfront added to airtime.
im on top up 315 + monthly phone finance so i pay around R560/month
but im really happy with vodacom service so im just gonna stick with the devil i do know... also data bundles on vodacom are (slightly) cheaper...
 
Hey piesang, sorry to hear about all your woes with the phone so far. I will let you in on my current experience though. I installed the touch flo 3D software but found it a bit laggy so i did a hard reset of the phone (just for good measure) and decided to leave it for a bit until i have at least put the experia properly through its paces. So far i haven't had a singe crash/freeze and my battery is still going strong at 4 bars even after using playing around with the device quite a bit. Phone is quick and responsive as i have said before. IMO if anyone is experiencing problems with the device then they must have a faulty unit or something because i have had absolutely nothing but joy from mine. I owned the P990i previously (suppose i still do) and i really find this device far better in absolutley every way. SE's choice to dump the symbian OS and go with win mobile was the best thing they could possibly have done.

Hope you come right with your phone, but if i may make a suggestion maybe you should try keeping the unit on a factory install and see if it is still giving hassles, perhaps it just is a case of the other stuff you installed being buggy. If not then i would be happy to sell you mine for 3 arms, a leg and a million bucks. ;)
 
Piesang it sounds like theres definately something not right with your X1. If I were you I'd take it back for a swop out before they tell you to wait 30 days for it to be fixed.
 
well, after his 3rd phone, maybe its a pebkac..or in this case, problem exists between chair and X1 :P

but he summed it up as touchflo being dodgy for him a few posts back
 
Yes, it's definitely The Manilla TF3D software. My Xperia is running perfectly since I disabled it in my today screen.

One thing I must say though is that for a R10,000 device the video camera is very bad. Played with it last night and it's not very responsive. I'm just glad I don't depend on it.
 
hi guys
i am hoping to pick up mine later this morning. This is gonna be my first WM phone and after some of the recent problems you guys have found, i just wondering if you guys can suggest some so called tests i can put the phone thru once i get it. Naturally gonna open the phone in store wanna check for cracks etc any other suggestions?
 
oh one more i see piesang said the video camera is real bad. Do you mean the play back quality or the functionality of using the camera zooming etc.
 
Just a question I cant seem to find answered properly in the search forums option, With the anytime 350/500 package, when ya browse inet/check mail/youtube etc, does the data cost get deducted from your R350/R500 ( till your empty then they charge additionally ) or do you get charged for that ontop of the the monthly contract fee
