My exp with sony Xperia X1

I generally like the latest gadgets and tend to look for the same when I purchase any mobiles / audio systems / electronics. When I went to Germany last year, happen to see sony ericcson Xperia X1 with one of my colleague and really impressed by it's features. So, thought of taking the same and enquired about the price. It was bit expensive which is around 600 EUROS.I callled couple of my freinds in India & UK and enquired about it's price. Finally I decided purchase in India, as I will get good after sales service.

After coming to India, the first thing I did was to go to mobile shop and purchase Xperia.One of my freind wanted to buy Iphone, we thought we will buy at the same place so that we get good discount. I just went to couple of shops and finally zeroed to one where we know someone and took a Iphone and Xperia.

I felt very happy and on that day whole night, was looking at it's features and setting up my outlook client, GPS and updating contacts. It was very helpful in emailing stuff and also in organizing things.

But after sometime, the real struggle started as it got some software problem and behaving weird without my intention.Sometime , it will automatically dial the numbers from my contact list and not sure which numbers it will pick. I always afraid that it should not pick my BOSS number, as he is in US timezone and shouldn't ring at the wrong time. And moreover the volume is low and the voice clarity is also not good. I managed it for 9 months after purchase, but one day suddenly my touch screen was not working. This time I got bit frustrated and went to Sony ericcson service and asked for the repiar. I thought of almost beating the guy by his answer, as he said it would take 15 days and that too costs around Rs 5000 which will not come under warranty.

One thing to note here,I used it in very rough way like I use my laptop :-)and didn't hanlded in smooth way. May be that could have caused this chain of problems with that phone.

Finaly, I decided to sell it off and get rid of that mobile.I asked the service center, how much I can expect for this mobile and he told that I will get 25% of my total cost of mobile.Now I decided to go for Iphone and looking for the latest 3G model.

From this I undertsood that I got white elephant and not a mobile phone :-) !
