New Xperia Panels on the way

// March 24th, 2009 // 10 Comments » // FEATURED, PANELS, XPERIA X1

The guys over at pocketnow.com have posted a review of the beta versions of the 4 new panels (announced back in feb at MWC.) Not sure they installed 100% properly as the Skype one certainly did more on my X1 when I was testing it. I know a few other bloggers have beta versions for feedback so I’ll update this if / when they post anything.

Also, I noted (thanks to the Xperiancer blog) that there are a couple of new 3rd party panels knocking about.

Wakoopa is a software focussed social network. The panel was built by a guy who goes by the name of Chopinfreak over at XDA developers. I’ve not yet installed it but will up date with my thoughts when I have.

The other panel is really quite cool, it’s similar in some ways to the goldfish panel that ships with the phone but is more interactive and has more functionality. It’s called “Growing” and seems to use some kind of flash. The instructions to install it are a little complicated (well, you need to install 2 cabs) and links to them both can be found here.

If anyone stumbles across any more panels leave a link in the comments and I’ll update this.

Xperia, the 2008 Reviews

// December 23rd, 2008 // 3 Comments » // ANNOUNCEMENTS

We’ll be off for the Christmas / New Year period between now and the 5th of January so we thought we’d leave you with some holiday reading. Below is what I think is an exhaustive list of all the Xperia reviews posted in 2008, if I’ve missed any, please feel free to add them in the comments, we’ll attempt to moderate comments at least daily. 

Before we sign off, we’d like to thank you all for your involvement with the site this year and to say that we look forward to seeing you in 09, when we’ll be following the development of new panels, the continuing global roll out of the X1 and maybe even some other Xperia related goodness.

All the best from Sam, Stuart, Merran, and all at Sony Ericsson.

Updated: two reviews from MoDaCo and Tracy and Matt

// October 29th, 2008 // 9 Comments » // MEDIA

The two preliminary reviews we linked to last week are now full blown, in-depth trials of the phone, you can read both the MoDaCo review and the one at Tracyandmatt.co.uk by following the links. Both have some great things to say about the phone (and a few criticisms of course.) Steve (the tracyandmatt reviewer even went so far as to say that the phone might become “one of the all time classic devices.”)

If you have any questions for either of the reviewers, you can leave them here and I will try to get the answers collated into another post.

New X1 reviews out

// October 13th, 2008 // 19 Comments » // X1 NEWS

If you still have some burning questions about the X1, check out this new review on Tracy and Matt’s blog. It has answered some of the questions we have been noticing in your comments, so it could prove pretty useful.

Also here is a review by Paul O’Brien at Modaco, which interestingly has also recently set up a dedicated X1 discussion area.
