And the repair centre just didn't want to listen.

After changing provider (and data plan) not being able to use 3G helped a little bit with the data traffic getting reduced. So I didn't care. It worked fine for the rest. (Still hate the fact that I can only listen to music for 6 1/2 hours straight with 4 mail boxes checking every 30 min, before the battery dies)

I have the miniUSB charger that came with my O2 Atom PDA phone. Can I use it to charge the Xperia?

My X1 seems to be acting proper now. Interestingly enough, the battery seems to acheive peak performance after the first few charges, something about the way that Li-ion batteries work.

I find that data connections do not suck power as much as I previously thought, even leaving programs open isn't that much of a problem. The screen however is a big problem. Anyway, one thing I notice tho is that the screen is a big power hog, and that a quick press of the power button will turn off the screen. Ensuring that the screen is black and not just dimmed is important.
