Digging around the web on some Xperia forums, I did find out there is a lock option! But it’s manual. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, my old Nokia had something like that too, *7 to lock and unlock. I had all but forgotten that such a thing existed. It wasn’t obvious to me, but [...]

In a funny (or sad) turn of events after posting my wonderful commentary on my Xperia yesterday, my Xperia got revenge on me today. My phone rang today, and  I fumbled around with it while it was in my coat pocket trying to get at it to figure out who was calling me. Now, unfortunately [...]

I bought my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 at the end of November last year, and what impressed me has since erroded to dissatisfaction and in some cases plain frustration. The statements i make now are quiet a 180 degree turn around considering how much I touted the Xperia’s awesomeness when I first got it. Much [...]

To my surprise, the battery was fully charged, and the device auto detected the T-Mobile network settings. All wasn’t quite right though. The phone could make and receive calls, and the calls were nice and [...]

Fedex delivered on my package on the promised date, around 10am, and I was ecstatic beyond words at its arrival. The box itself is pretty simple, and smaller than I would have expected. Below are my snapshots of the box and it’s contents. Upon actually holding it, the first thing I noticed was how incredible [...]
