While the Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson has been out for quite a while now, it’s only recently seen release in Korea. The release and reception from Korean owners hasn’t seem to gone all that well though. This time though, it isn’t the well known complaint of the cracked casing. Issues the Korean X1 is facing however, is a weak reception on the handset. Sony Ericsson have denied it being an issue, but many independent reviews of the Xperia have highlighted a poor reception being an issue. Slow data rates are also an issue, but most likely linked to a weak reception.

More common issues include a long boot time and slow navigation, which are normal among Windows Mobile based phones. The QWERTY keyboard design has also come under criticism with the keyboard having two keys for a semi colons, perhaps in case one stops working, but how many semi colons do you use on a daily basis?

The video support of the X1 is also described as poor along with the battery life.
