I'm thinking about taking my x10i, on my trip to europe for 6+months. Will grab a local sim card, and soo will my friends that are coming. Would it be better to spend money on an mp3 player? or just spend some money on accessories for the x10, 2600mah batt, headphones. Also which media player on the x10 consumes the least amount of power?
I had a look around, but would be really helpfull if i could get all the info compiled into this thread
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Edit:
I've liked the look of the creative Aurvana X-fi headphones for a while, has anyone here tested them out? they are on special for $129 atm
Assuming you'll have a place to sleep you can charge it every night. I would recommend the extra items for the X10 cause you can enhance the phone and use them later. Besides, if you're anything like me, the least amount of gadget the better. I like to travel light.
The extra battery may come handy if you use GPS all the time. As to mp3 player that's a life saver when you spend large amounts of time in transportation otherwise, if you're looking to do some real tourism, as in: talk to locals, hear the sounds around you and experience the place then you won't be listening to mp3 all the time. I mean, what's the point of travelling if all you do is listen to music 24/7? That will be distracting and you can do it at home.
PS-> get trip journal, it's a nice app.
Well yea, i should be able to charge it every night.... but if I forget or if im on the train over night etc.... Probly will use gps a bit, and would prefer to use just my phone, rather than an mp3 player as well. Well I like having gadgets, keep me busy, will be spending a lot of time on the trains getting from country to country, I am buying 2 eurail passes, save me a hell of a lot of cash But those aurvanas look nice and look very comfy!!!!
Maybe a spare battery instead? can you buy chargers for just the battery? so I could charge it, while its not inside the phone?
Most, if not all trains in Europe have DC outlets, so no problem there
Spare battery might be a good idea, aswell as a pair of good headphones!
Have fun in Europe!
Yea, i forgot that. Also, i have root access to my phone, will i be able to use any sim or will i have to get virgin or third party to unlock it?
Anything about gps over there i should know abt?
Thanks for the help.

If you go by train you'll definitely need to listen to mp3 for long amounts of time.
BTW did you check the enormous amount of low cost flights here? Last time I planned a European trip, staying 3 nights in each town, it was a bit cheaper by plane not to mention an enormous reduction in transportation time. Most one way tickets go for like 50€-120€ but you may be lucky to go as low as 20€. The eurorail pass for 2 weeks should go for 300-400€ so that's at least 4 one way plane trips. If you buy tickets for week days, something like amsterdam->prague->rome->barcelona->paris->amsterdam should be as cost effective as the eurorails.
Check terminala . com for low cost flights. If you use either amsterdam or barcelona as the "hub" town, you get some of the best rates to pretty much everywhere. Besides those 2 are my favorite European cities.
I don't have enough posts here to post a link. So search "Xperia X10 Cradle 2nd battery" in amazon . co . uk and you get a nice cradle to charge both the phone and a 2nd battery simultaneously.
GPS> works the same anywhere in the world as far as I know.
SIM> you'll need an unlocked phone. One SIM won't do if you constantly change countries as you'll be paying expensive roaming costs.
Thanks for your help i spent nearly 2 months in europe last year. And we have worked out the amount of days n countries about e need for the eurail passes. But some countries we are flying to, ireland and ibiza.
Edit:
I used an irish vodafone sim last time and it worked everywhere, for txting mainly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yep, unlocked phone is a must...
For carriers I would suggest Hutchinson 3G, as they have free roaming in every European country in which they are available!
GPS works just the same as anywhere else in the world
Thanks a lot! Any suggestions, on where to get it unlocked in melbourne?

I'm tired of the GPS not working accurately on my vibrant. People seem to forget what's the true reason to use a mobile phone in the first place. Who really needs a faster processor and sharper resolution when you can't use it for something as basic as navigation and finding the number and address of your local grocery store?
This is why I have switched to a Garminfone. I do not have to pay for a data plan. Who really surfs the net on a tiny screen? that's what laptops and tablets are for. Can anyone here say their Vibrant GPS works just as accurately as a Garmin device? I want to know if it's because I have an older Vibrant model. Have the new Vibrants fixed the GPS issue completely? My Garminfone is accurate in locating me within 2-10 meters and can find me in 2-3 seconds! Plus it was made to integrate directly with your car, so there is a windshield holder with power outlet.
No real software can truly fix the GPS since it's a hardware limitation. Probably why my Garminfone is heavier. It uses a real GPS, not aGPS! And it's made by Asus which is an excellent brand!
No flaming intended, but HOLY CRAP a Garminfone?
Ouch dude.
You picked a GARMINFONE over an SGS? The ONLY thing that phone does better is GPS.
That being said, the GPS on my Vibrant works great. I have no idea why some Vibrants can't see a bird to save their lives, and some work. Supposedly the newer hardware makes it more likely that it will work.
Good luck with your new GPS that can make phone calls.
LOL at picking a Garminfone over the Vibrant.
On second thought...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird... I thought the true reason to use a mobile phone.... was to call people??
I thought about the Garminfone briefly before I settled with a Vibrant.
Software updates for the Garminfone are really non-existent and any modding/hacking Roms is almost extinct as well. The device is on life support at best.
That being said I've seen Vibrants with superb 5 second GPS locks by just spending 10 patient minutes doing the GPS hardware fix listed in the sticky.

True. There is a hardware issue with the GPS as stated in the sticky in the General Section. But once that issue is corrected the GPS is just as good as any standalone device I've every used. There are about 90 other people who will back me on that too. Oh and my phones GPS is set to Standalone, no aGPS here...
those that are replying, keep in mind....
does you GPS work properly without a Data plan???
my point is, if you're paying an extra $30 a month which is $330 a year for data when there is wifi in just about every mall, mc donalds, star bucks...why even bother?
and on top of that, why pay for data if you already have wifi at home and in the workplace??
Seriously, no one truly browses a full web page on a phone. You do that on a laptop or tablet. The Garminfone has android 2.1. So what is if it doesn't have 2.3? The issue is always going to be T-mobile will be a few builds behind the latest one. Are you really going to save the world with 2.3???
It's all about functionality and value!!!!
I can be in the middle of nowhere and get GPS directions, address and telephone numbers without a data plan! No paying $330 yearly!
So back to my question, does your GPS on your Vibrant work accurately without a data plan or wifi?
omg is this thread for real. me and my wife had a garmin when they first came out cause of the buy one get one deal. we couldnt give those crappy phones back fast enough. really garmin phone why dont you just get a tom tom duct tape it to your vibrant if you want gps so bad.
I looked at the Garminfone for about 10 minutes. I am not going to bash your choice because everyone has different needs for their devices. I will however say that my decision to NOT go with that phone was I read a ton of bad reviews on overall hardware and software issues. Plus I really hardly use GPS unless I am bored.
If you truly need GPS and just use a phone to call and text then that is what suits you best.
Good luck with your purchase, come back in a few weeks and prove us wrong I guess
After reading through this post, I don't why the OP even created this post in the first place when he knows for a fact that our phone requires a data plan for GPS to work. As for me, I am out most of the time and it's just much more convenient for me to use the data plan to go online and email without having to look for a place with wifi. On top of that, my replacement phone sees 11 to 12 birds and locks on to 6 to 8 birds in about 10 to 20 seconds. Maybe the OP regrade switching over and is trying to justify himself for the switch.
he might as well get a cup and string along with a star chart to map with for location for a phone.

The irony is freaking delicious.
i see a lot of people here are new to TECHNOLOGY. I've been around computers since the first desktop computer came out. Many on here started using computers only when facebook became popular. The point is, the true value in technology does not lie in paying for a device at it's birth.
I repeat, $330 a year for what???
It's $330 for service...not a device that can be resold and make half your money back in a year. What do you really need so badly to download from the internet that requires you to get a data plan instead of using wifi?
The initial bad reviews for the Garminfone was because it only supported 1.6 at the time. 2.1 isn't that bad. And get this, Garminfone is made by Asus which is the best quality PC brand!
Of course the vibrant is better...well it ought to be if you're paying $330 more a year!!! It all comes down to price! You expect more if you pay more!
If you bought your Vibrant through Tmobile, you could have easily swapped it out for a newer model without the hardware problem at no cost to you. My GPS is working fine, and yes in some cases it fares better than standalone units.
People use their phones for browsing all the time, that's kind of the major point of a smartphone...
As for the data plan, I use Audiogalaxy to stream my entire music collection (upwards of 200 gigs of music) from my computer at home, to my car. How would you do that without a data plan again?

What about everyone who doesnt have wifi at work. Those who don't visit malls or fast food restaurants.

Unlimited access to the cloud and everything that entails, at speeds that are often faster than the average wifi connection. This also works when in a car, on a bus, at the beach, in the mall, in an airport, while doing handstands, practicing your backflips on a trampoline, hell even when I'm walking to the office, dropping my drawers, and dropping a deuce all over my ****ty Asus netbook

Exactly, and with Maps 5.0 you have offline route caching, so you can still navigate when you lose data service.
people really need internet on a tiny little device 24/7 for $330?
Sure everything is case by case, but $330 in this economy when MOST people already have wifi. This is how ridiculous cellphone plans are! It use to be a device for talking and now people describe it like a NECESSITY!
This is exactly why Americans are always broke! They don't know the meaning of value. It's one thing that you're Donald Trump, but MAJORITY of people don't need internet service with them 24/7.
If you're using your mobile device for tethering, then that's a good thing...but when you already have wifi at home like most people, this is completely a waste!
Does anyone have proof that the Vibrant GPS works great by itself without a data plan. I'm looking for proof online. Maybe a video or article.
Hey, if the aGPS works like real GPS on the vibrant, I'd completely switch back.

The vibrants GPS can operate in 3 different modes. One of which is STANDALONE. meaning the phone gets its data directly from the sats. Meaning no network connection is needed.
As today is he official launch in the UK... who picked up already his device and what are the first impressions?
As said in my Q thread, I picked it up yesterday (despite most stores saying they couldn't sell it yet). I was the second person to get one from the big Phones4U in Leeds.
After palying with it all afternoon Yesterday and most of this morning (yeah I should be working!), I love it. It's soooo silky smooth. All my favourite games run perfectly, I've even tried the N64 emulator and it ran effortlessly.
The only niggles I have:
- There's no longer NFC (would have been nice to be future-proofed on that, even though I couldn't use it right now anyway)
- I miss my notification light, but obviously not enough to stop me buying this beast
- It doesn't have the shiny music player from the original Galaxy S
- The clock widgets don't bring up the alarm when you press them
- Oh and my apps didn't download when I synched my Google account, so I had a fun time last night manually putting them all back on.
As you can see, trivial stuff that isn't really important.
Ask me anything, I'll try and answer as often as I can, but I do need to get some work done (if I can find the motivation and pull myself away from this phone!)
Oh, one final thing. A quick battery comparison - My Desire HD, at this time of the morning (after I've been playing music and on the internet via 3G/H), would be down to around 50%. This is currently on 70% and I've been playing with it all morning. Just an initial observation, but a positive one.
your thoughts about the weight and the feel of the phone (esp. the back cover)?
I'm amazed at the weight, it feels like a dummy phone (compared to my DHD and old N1).
The build is nice and sturdy for a plastic phone, but the back cover is very thin - I'm scared I'll snap it every time I remove it. Fortunately I shouldn't need to go back in there now that I've stuck my SD in

also did the phone run hot while using it for sometime?

They are saying in the future the NFC antenna will be in your sim card and there will be software in the phone that can link to that, so dont be too disheartened, you may get it after all, but just not how you expected

Hi, congrats on your purchase! I had two brief questions.. can the dock be modified on the homescreen (can you choose which apps go on it), and some photos from other reviews it seemed like people got chargers with EU plugs, did yours come with a UK one? These aren't really pressing issues but I'm just interested really.

Hi!
A Local is selling the Smartwatch 1, he claims is new, and is asking $60 so I will offer $50 if you guys think is still worth it.
I am doing some research on it but since usually reviews are from the original time it came out and things are fixed later one...so i am looking for more recent experiences.
Thanks!
Honestly, I'd go for it - why not! Aside from a few reported issues with UI lag and general fragmentation/inconsistencies between apps, at $50, it makes for a great little tinker device, even if you do eventually end up throwing it in the drawer a few months down the track!
Best of luck
I saw a review made not that long ago in July 2013 so I hope it shows the latest updates and I actually liked what I saw!
It will be a good way to see if I like that concept before spending a lot more on SW2
$50 isn't much for a "smart"watch, so I'd go for it. And like Supjackary says, it's a great little gizmo that you can tinker with. Maybe root it, install Omni and play SimCity on it. Or not, but in the worst case scenario, you've paid 50 bucks for a watch. Still worth it.

Cool. I am getting it tomorrow!
I do have a concern...battery life...is it going to drain the phone battery quickly? I read that it does not even show a clock without being connected so that means and always connected bluetooth to work.
I just checked. It has Bluetooth 3.0, and what we want is 4.0 (BLE or Bluetooth Low Energy). That might be a problem
Sony says the SW will last you 1 week with light usage, 3-4 days with medium usage and 1 day with heavy usage. I'm not sure what the differences are? Is light usage to get five notifications and heavy usage is getting 8? I have no idea
Either way, your Ultra will probably notice a small drop in battery, but I don't know how much.

Hmm, i have no idea If you have some money to spare, then i can't see why you couldn't get the SW 2. The SW 2 also has Bluetooth LE, plus i guess there's more activity around it, i.e more apps on the Play Store and i guess it'll probably receive an update or two in the future.
But again, i really don't know I guess you'll have to get the one you want

Huh, i just noticed that the Sony Smart Watch has its own section.
I got the smart tag with the s21 and I am wondering really what its use could be outside of car keys, purse (I'm not a woman). The only thing I could think of is maybe leaving it in my car when I go out to a large parking lot (malls, etc when pandemic is over heh). I'm really not sure how it works besides its low energy bluetooth and range is ~ 120 meters. Without having to push the button would that work? I'm not sure what the battery life is on this thing.
I know the battery is crazy on it so maybe just 2-4 changes a year maybe.
I wanna try it on the kid and see if I can keep tabs on him when he commutes to school.
I believe it works by using nearby Samsung phones to give you location.

Yup, but only if the users of the Samsung phones have opted in to do so. I remember my phone asking me if I wanted to enable something like that. I said no. I bet most people will not do it due to impact on battery.
Bet when Apple comes out with their tags, they won't even give users the option, apple will just have it enabled on all iPhones.
