I have my hands ON the Sony X1000 Walkman - Impressions / Discussions - Page 10

So, all of you who bought it so far got it from John lewis? Is there any special reason like a redeem or a voucher to not wait few days and get a £40 rebate? Just a stupid question, but maybe you have a good plan!

is it available in the sony centres?

Yes it is, but call to make sure as they don't get a lot of stock. The St Albans branch I called today on behalf of another head-fi'er only received two.

it's probably discussed some where in the thread but what's the price on one of these jobbers?

Screen?

Is it Plastic or Glass?

Thanks for the photo. It's sick! Really packed into tiny size. I previously complained S630/S730 too small for handling. I guess X1000 will be perfect size.

Btw, anyone know where to download english manual? I googled around and only come out with Japanese manual and quick guide.

You know you're going to buy it

Still uncertain

Still waiting

Glass , this is from the manual



On the display
The surface of the display of the player is made of glass.
When handling the player, be careful not to drop it and not to give an impact to
it, otherwise the display may be broken. If the glass have been broken or
become chipped, stop using the player and avoid touching the broken part,
otherwise you may be injured.
On the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
The prolonged display of a still image or the repetitive display of the same


So if you break it, be sure not to touch the sharp broken glass or you might get cut. Good thing they pointed that out.... I might have cut the crap out of myself otherwise

one question:

could anyone tell me the actual capacity of both the X and the itouch (both 32Gb models ). i plan on buying one of these babies sometime soon (may wait for the 3G touch) so i'm interested as to who "lies" the most when it comes to capacity (and if the difference is substantial)

The screen is made of glass, but I guess the back side is plastic? If the back is plastic, it will scratch very easily but then I guess that's why Sony also sells the protectors as an accessory

Well, my X1000 is in the house, and charging

The A818 has a surprisingly good synergy with the JVC FX1000, so i'm looking forward to trying the Sony X1000 when charged / synced
