OK, how loud/bad is the hiss ? With my UM Mages, I still can hear the hiss/noise floor, but almost unnoticeable, compared to when I was using it for the first time several months ago. BTW, I am using X1060F. My theories are:
1) The hiss level is decreasing through time.
2) Our brain got used to the hiss and auto 'hiss cancelling' it
3) X1060F and X1061 have different set of DSP coding or audio circuit ?, which I don't think so.

2nd problem is slow transfer speed. God-awful 4 hours to fill up 28GB... 240++ mins! By the time it filled with 4~GB, battery already fully charged... |
I already did the basic transfer rate test. Write throughput, 2MBytes/s, so for 28GB, it should take 28,000/2 s = 14000 s = 3 hours 53 mins 20 secs or about 4 hours. Yes, so you got the correct write throughput speed

3rd problem i noticed is X1061 has lower capacity compared to X1060. About 0.5GB missing. Due to Slacker function? Can we flash X1060 firmware onto X1061? 0.5GB quite a significant amount of storage space. |
No comment because, I am using the Asian edition.

4th, the internet browser is POS. I cant imagine how bad it can be until i personally tried it. The input method is worst than T9 method on phone. Luckily i have a proper phone with proper browser in it. |
Yup the texting is horrible. Already documented in this thread.

Now, for the PROS.
I got my X1061 used, USD191~ Dirt cheap but with few scratches at the back. Can easily fixed with carbon fiber decal covering the whole back. |
Very nice price!!
I got mine, new and through 'special path' at USD285, without any scratch and with the protection film intacted.

Sound signature similar to Nokia 5800 but better refined, with way more resolution. Detail wise quite similar. Soundstage not very wide but across the whole spectrum, there's nothing much to fault. But the HISSES... |
So you liked the X's sound.
How about the bass, compared to your 5800?. Actually, I just tried my brother in-laws 5800, and it sound wonderful too. I think the X has the advantage in term of bass, clarity and details. My brother in-law also agreed with me. BTW, I am giving my UM3Xs + universal tips to my brother in-law for him to try.
Thank you.
