Guest Mr_stickz Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Hey i'm getting a new phone and i really like the sony x1 but i also really like the touch pro... Wich one should i choose? Question: With the weird x1 screen resolution will all games and apps work that will work for all other devices? I mean doom and new games X1: + 3.0 inch screen +curved slide shape thing +x-panels - Weird screen resolution -4 row qwerty keyboard instead of 5 -30mb ram PRO +More common screen res +Great interface for use with fingers +5 row qwerty keyboard - less battery time - 0.2 inch smaller screen -no audio jack plug They're both great phones with the same processor speed so wich one should i choose?
Guest Gorskar Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Well I went for the X1, and having seen a friend's Touch Pro am glad I did. The X1 is a much nicer looking device (not as wide), and the battery is decent enough for a WM phone. (I tend to charge it every night, but it still has well over half the battery left then. Apparently the Touch Pro will struggle to even make 1 day if its used moderately heavilly) The screen res isn't too much of an issue - you can download a utility from XDA-devs (cant remember the name yet) which basically chops off the extra width (leaving a black bar down one side) and makes it appear to be a VGA screen to other applications. - which can be helpful if an app or game wont run or looks skewed. Shame the keyboard doesn't have arrows, but its still very good. You can always use the d-pad for arrows (although I should point out that the d-pad isnt the greatest for games - mainly due to the "up" being a little trickier than the other directions to press.) An essential download is the SPB mobile shell panel from http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/ Its free for the X1, and makes the phone far more finger friendly.

OK i think i'm getting the x1 its 10€ cheaper too... I saw that VGA program its an emulator. Not even arrows? men that is a shame... But i'm sure u can reassign them with a program. yeh thats one more question i have: With the HTC blackstone 3d interface will it replace one of the panels or just add it to the list?

Guest Gorskar Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 ? Blackstone... I'm assuming you mean the TouchFlo 3D variant? I believe you can get TouchFlo 3D running inside a panel if you like (in which case it would just be adding it to the list) You can choose which of the available panels make up the 9 quick swap ones.

Guest zwymc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 I used to buy a X1 and Touch Pro, also tried to compare, but the Touch Pro's screen is too small, the resolution is not high, and relatively thick.
Guest adamtaylor Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Here is the simple comparison: Plus point of x1 is it's 3.0" vga Plus point for touch pro is it's touchflo that gives you better web browsing experience. So my pick ? Touch Pro.
