Hi all,
I have stated the reasons why the X1 and WM was just not right for me elsewhere on the forum and i had the Bold for a couple of months already before i got the X1.
There were some great positives of the X1 the first was the build quality on mine which really was very very good. I also found it was an excellent Music and Video Player and was more than happy with how it handled these. I also found it was quite fast to the only real lag was when the panels refreshed from the static image but even that wasn't terrible IMO.
But the things i didn't like and that annoyed me really annoyed me and where deal breakers the first was although it has a nice wide screen it is not very deep. The second was text size in all but the main views even after i had chosen the largest size. Again Opera once zoomed in to a reasonable size displayed far to little information due to the above mentioned screen size problem. I also didn't like how certain apps used certain connections either despite what i wanted. I know some of these issues now have tweaks and fixes but they didn't when i decided to sell and to be honest having to do so much straight out the box just to get it working well did less then inspire confidence. I also really didn't like the Keyboard i felt the keys were to small and lacked enough tactile feedback it also didn't always light up or turned off during use. Really i decided that WM and the X1 just wasn't right for me and what i wanted and expected but that doesn't mean it can't be for anyone else.
Also because i had one of the first released X1's from VodaFone and got it for £49.99 on a £20pm 18 month contract with the Internet for and extra £4.99. When i sold it for £500 on E-Bay and cancelled the Internet pack i made about £45 plus i still have the Voda minutes and am paying them back just £20pm which means a nice free loan for me.
