ON Esato somebody has received their X1. This is their impression so far.

Got my retail X1 today, and can report first impressions is that the hardware is really nice, very good quality. (you have heard that before).

The Solid Black looks really nice and slim - loving it.
The software I havent been able to test that much yet, as I got the phone like an hour ago and I am still at work. A few things that I noticed is:
Awesome screen
Very good build quality
Software looks sharp - Havent been able to judge the speed really yet as I only tried the panels right after starting the phone with a lot of background stuff going on. There is a small delay when changing to and from landscape.
Very booring package as you have seen, how in hells name can they put a ton of money on commerical for the phone and then have the box look like its from 1998.
A bit booring contents in the package, I am especially disapointed that they didnt supply a protective sleeve or something (as with the HTC Touch Pro). Nothing more than the standard package, probably becuase they are going for the lowest possible price (?)
It got dedicated swedish characters on the keyboard - Very very good move instead of having them as fn-keys (now 8, 9 and # is denpending on the fn-key)
Did I mention the awesome build quality? (no more "plastic-****-sound" that the HTC Touch Pro keyboard had).

I´ll get back to you all later!

dedicated swedish characters on it, wonder if this will be with all version of the phone.

Most likely not. As the Q and A part 2 was saying, there will be different types of keyboards, depending on country.

I for one, will be looking forward to a keyboard that finally will have the 'ä ü ö' on it.

If you can find out how it looks in sunlight and compared to the iPhone that would be great

Which one did you get the X1(3g 900) or X1a ( 3G 850); Or this is just urban legend.

The X1a is for USA. I also think that Australia and Canada will get the X1a.
The X1 (or X1i?) is simply for the countries that does not get the X1a.

A german tech-jounalist got his hands on a X1 a week ago (I'm thinking 01.10.) and wrote a review yesterday as well.

Unfortunately the google translation from german to english is total crap, so i didn't post the link.

If anyone is interested, I will post it.
