Has arrived. I would like an O2 Xda Serra (HTC Touch Pro) but CPW (sort of a competitor so will use this as their name) say they are no longer supplying XDAs :(
But they have offered me a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 for £75 on a £25 per month 18 month contract with 200 anytime minutes and 400 Txts and Unlimited web :D
The phone has a slightly better screen than the XDA (800x480 vs 640x480)
Has anyone tried/got this phone?
If so is it any good?
I wont offer advice as on the 3rd of March my contract runs out and I'm not renewing. I'm going back to PAYG

Well a lot of people are...
Btw the phone for those that don't know is SE's first attempt at a Windows Mobile based phone. Where as HTC have had a few years expereince.
Have you seen those deals at carphone scamhouse? Get a £35 and above contract and get a free x58 asus laptop
Still happy with my google phone :)
PCW were doing that long before CPW even thought about it... it was a nightmare the first time round when it was with Orange broadband
Still happy with my google phone :)
I want one!

Doesnt need one :D
Seriously the only bad thing i can mention about the phone is the battery life coz it is poor. Otherwise best phone i've ever used.

Me too, about the same time aswell. Think i'll go to asda mobile seems about the cheapest.
My contract is brilliant, i get great value, brand new phone and 300 minutes or texts for £15.

Quite a few people i know have mentioned that, but ive used one and it seemed smooth as ****!
Serisouly Monkey. i've not found 1 bad thing with it other than the battery life. but as i charge it at work during the day using the usb it doesnt bother me too much.
Am quite looking forward to the latest cupcake (http://www.googleandblog.com/htc-g1-google-android-gets-video-recording/3412/) update though :D
I had an upgrade about 2 weeks ago and went for the N96.
Not a too bad phone really, the only really problem I have is you have to set your router up in a set way to use the wireless but that didn’t take long.
Oh and with it having a 16GB memory on it and you fill it up with about 2 GBG left it does get a bit slow.
But I figured out why that happened though. I put a folder with tattoo designs on it which was more or less 7GB worth. (19756 Images) removed them and it works really well no hanging at all :)
I have filled it with music and films and works fine so I just think it didn’t like that many files on it lol
The only other thing that I don’t like is at the mo it will not play AVI files so have to convert them to MP4, not that bad just is timing to convert them.
I’m hoping that with new firm ware that they will let them play sooner or later.
Oh an the digital TV tuner is not working in the UK yet and there’s talk it’s not going to till 2011 :(

The camera is VERY well reviewed for a compact!
"Reviewed by: Hector Bruce http://www.kikatek.com/images/stars_5.gif I've already got an alpha 100 D-SLR, but there are occasions when its just not the time to lug a great big camera round with all the different bits that go with it. So I thought that this would be a good everyday sort of camera. I was wrong.
It's a fantasic camera! I could end up using it more than my D-SLR as the pictures are of the same quality, but in such a small case!
The last compact digital camera I had was another Cyber-Shot, the P-10, but its 5 years old now, and how its all changed. Everything is so fast, from turning it on, to focusing, to zooming, to taking as many pictures you want in a row, its all instant!
However, I really think the best points of this camera are the functions that do it all themselves. Face detection and the Smile Shutter. No longer is face detection a gimmick, everything is adjusted to make those faces look the best they can, focus, exposure, white balance, and flash are all adjusted. And it plays a role in the Smile Shutter, the most fantastic thing you will use for a long while.
Just focus the camera, press the shutter, and smile! It really works, and is so fun to use, you can also set the camera to child priority, so that the camera will only fire when the children in the photo are smiling, I hear sighs of relief from parents everywhere!
But using the Smile Shutter you will always get great people pictures, as i've found, after the first smiling picture, the subject laughs so much at the camera that it just keeps going!
All of this, and a lot more, in something you can fit in any trouser pocket, what an age we live in."
So do u acutally like it then or not??
Yes i do like it
