I recently used the X1 and I have to say it looked lovely, but upon using it, it was very thick, plasticky and clunky. The OS repeatedly froze up and took several tries to get it to start working again. There is even an egg timer that you have to wait about 3-4 seconds for when you want to see the clock in full screen (clock has to refresh?!).
I own this phone and the first thing you need to know is that the first time every app runs, it runs slowly. After that, it runs fairly quick and smooth. Plays full-screen video downloads with no re-encoding. The only crashes I've had are when I've downloaded dodgy home-made apps off the net and tried to run them.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
