Hi! It's my first post in that forum and I hope I've chosen good place to write.
So, I would to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 as my first smartphone ever. For now I have Sony Ericsson K800i and Apple iPod Touch 2gen. iPod is ok but only thing is that I need something for music, but iPhone in Ireland costs €500-€600, so thats A LOT for me. So as I had written I'm thinking about Xperia X1, but is there something else that could be good option to Xperia? I would to spend about €350-€380 in clove.co.uk, expansys.ie, pixmania.ie. I need WiFi (there is few hot-spots in my school - and I have Wi-Fi network in home), quite big screen (say 3"+ will be ok), good support here on forum and from producer itself, quite good sound quality, touchscreen and if possible HARDWARE QWERTY
I think I gave most of information. Thanks for the help
ps. If you have good shops in UK which ships to Ireland post links to them as well please. And I don't want to buy it by eBay
Welcome to forums
For that $ you can find a Touch Pro 2, which is much better than xperia.
Just my opinion.
Good luck,

The problem is that TP2 costs around €200 more
Xperia X2?

Welcome to the forum
Well... I would go for TP2 definetly! if you are going for a buissness device.
It´s just a few weeks of launching.
Have in mind that if you select omnia you will not have the great support of this site...as we focus on HTC devices
Good luck,
Dear orb3000
When do you expect the HTC TP2 will be available in the Middleeast & specially in Qatar
Regards,
Talal
Agree with orb, that the TP2 could be your best device now.
Have no idea when available in the Middleeast...maybe your carrier knows.
Or you can get it unlocked on Ebay in June...

hi zongol
As galxys states, perhaps the best way would be to buy an unlocked one on ebay, expansys or any other store.
I´m doing that because in my country it would be later and more expensive
Good luck,
I noticed a theme that XDA primarily does HTC phones. I remember reading a while back that X brand was releasing and Android phone but would not be supported on XDA. So my question is, will this phone get it's own section on XDA to give central place for devs to do work at?
Thanks! (hope I posted in right section)
Most likely not. It's not a HTC phone like you stated. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 was designed by HTC, thats why it has a home here. The new Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 and X3(Android) weren't design by HTC to my knowledge. So the X2 and X3 might have a home here cause of the X1 users. Or might not.
So, do you all know of where the development for that might be going on?
that's what I was wondering. No hardcore dev's like on XDA is a definite no buy!

Slightly offtopic but...
The X1 had a similar resemblance to the Touch Pro which all in all was a similar phone.
I don't know if this has been mentioned on this before but the X3 has a real striking resemblance to the Touch HD, maybe it is designed by HTC and will be released at a similar time a the Touch HD 2 which will also like the X3 run android (rumored but wouldnt be suprised).
Cliq-Development.com
Cliq-Development.com is a bunk site. couple of guys pissing and moaning about money. I really wanted to get a cliq as the nexus one doesn't have a keyboard and my G1 is falling apart lol.
now there is a page for the motorola droid but not the cliq.... was the motorola droid designed by HTC...? i dont think so...

I'm new to XDA, but will post information about the Motorola Cliq device as I develop and receive information. I think if we talk/chat more about the cliq on this site developers will be willing to copy or cross post and information share(abiding by XDA rules of course) to a goal of obtaining its own thread. Again, just by looking at XDA there is not a lot of support for this device.

Anything ever become of this 'issue'?
last week i started a thread looking to see if i could get a hero.. in the US (currently live in london) that would work in the uk.. the awnser i got was NO... so im looking at any phone.. prefrably something like a hero or a xperia that i could get while in LA and where i might be able to buy one SIM UNLOCKED... at the moment i have a touch diamond and well its really ****... so i don't want anything like it..(my 2005 i mate jam was faster...) so any help is a great help to me as i am rather out of touch with the HTC market at the moment ..
Touch Pro 2 is actually a great device, if you like hardware keyboard is the best on the market
have a look on marketplace section, you can find great deals sometimes
Good luck,

thanks for the help...mate
ok so i want to get an experia really bad but idk if its better then my fuze... could someone please help me make a choice? everytime i post my fuze up for sale or trade someone ends up deleting it and its stressing me out. so someone help me make a choice
thanks
The xperia is indeed not much better that the Fuze.
If I was you I should wait for the X2 with Android, it's a nice device.
Or the TouchPro2, or wait some time and get one of the 2010 models from HTC.
Your call. The motorola Droid is also a good device with a sliding qwerty.
thanks a lot. i did some research and yea the xperia is slow and not as awesome as my touch pro. i think i wana get a tp2 now
Good choice!
Good luck, hope you enjoy your device and xda-developers!

Hello people.
I need to buy a new device/phone, and i like android.
Than i need one with touchscreen(obvious, lol), and keyboard (slide, flip or like blackberry).
I want minimum android 2.0, simple, stable and fast device.
I don't need rotation/menu animations or something like that.
Do you have an ideia? please share it with me?
Thanks a lot

Hi, the main things to ask yourself as well is, what budget do you have?
Are you wanting to buy just the handset or do you want a contract?
Do you want it on Pay as you Go?
Have a look on this forum for a number of handsets that take your fancy and find out what other people's opinions are.
Read reviews on the internet.
Hope that helps?
it's a phone for 1 year, not contract, i allready have one, but, my htc magic is bricked!
than it's to replace the sapphire for 1 year!
my budget is 250.- Swiss francs, it could be used!
with this details, i can buy a motorola flipout, sony ericsson x10 mini pro...
but there is others? thanks
Have a look here for any pre-owned handsets..http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
Just to get some ideas in case you can't find anything brand new.
Why don't you try getting a ZTE Blade. I used to own one myself and it is a very powerful, but very low priced phone. It's also winning the best non-HTC phone of 2010.
