I upgraded to Android 2.1 and installed the two-finger "multitouch" update that was supposedly impossible. Now waiting for the 2.3 update that was previously denied bit now looks possible this summer (only for unbranded phones....if true..I will debrand...). The phone is still frustrating to use, but I have been loathe pay for a different Android phone that is likely to have its own set of quirks. So I struggle continuously with this "wonder" phone. I do spend an occasional visit to Xperiax10.net since they have good updates on the status of the device and associated suppoert. As long as you can ignore the overly positive fab club (especially fact-is-fact) you should be able to enjoy the site.

The 2.1 upgrade has started releasing in Europe. Hopefully coming to Japan soon. I have since learned how to use the dialer memory to delete individual calls, however, for now, I am using aTAKEphONE for my dialer. Better usability...still need an additional search besides T9, but overall it handles the address book and history better. I also use Smart Keyboard and K9 mail as these two apps are far better to the standard apps. Looking forward to the new 2.1 update! O.K. The 2.1 upgrade has started releasing in Europe.

Not sure what was updated. Still firmware ver 1.6 and BaseBand Version 1.024....Oh but wait...It went from build R1EA018 to build R1EA025. And it came with two overt improvements...I can make changes to the keyboard layout and mora touch is added to Mediascape. But the other, more difficult to pinpoint is that the machine feels faster. It used to stutter when I pressed 'the shift key', or the letter 'a', but now that seems to be fixed. Unlocking no longer seems to stick. I hope this is not just a temporary condition that makes me think things have improved. Time will tell. Now if they can only improve the keyboard (to be more like the HTC keyboard) and then get better battery management (maybe like JuiceDefender?.....) I'm just saying.....

And it was difficult to navigate through the post. The problem with the WordPress app was solved by turning the phone sideways (landscape mode). However, the WordPress Browser page still has trouble making edits. The WordPress apps seems to be the best way to update the blog. It would be nice if the Android keyboard had a cursor up/down in addition to the very useful cursor left/right. Would be nice if the iPhone at least had a left/right cursor. Not sure why Apple decided to skimp on that simple feature. If only the iPhone had that feature on their keyboard...that alone would make it more usable. Can you edit the keyboard on the Apple? I know you can edit the keyboard on the Android..... Another App…WordPress….does not work well.
