Review X1 Christian’s ROM 5.000

Since a while I use a Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia smartphone. This mobile runs Windows Mobile. There are custommade ROMs available and one of the best, made by a Dutchman, is the Christian Rom.

What can you do with a phone with this ROM? I want to summarize what I use, it’s a long list but not everything what is possible.

Above you see the list of programs. From left to right:

Adobe Reader LE - Windows Mobile version to be able to view PDF
Afbeeldingen en video’s – dutch for Pictures and videos
Audio-booster – this program will give a deeper sound if a headphone is connected
FBTV – I don’t use it, it’s a TV guide
Midomi – a program you can sing a song which the program tries to recognize and if so it will give you the name of the song and singer/group (internet necessary)
NOS Mobiel – mobile app for dutch NOS (internet necessary)
Nos Teletekst – mobile app so you can see the dutch teletext services of NOS (internet necessary)
SPB Screenshot – can be used to make screenshots, I made all these you see with this program
Streaming Media -for Windows Media streaming
Uitzending gemist – mobile app to see missed programs from public broadcasting (internet necessary)
Windows Media - mediaplayer ofMicrosoft
Youtube – nice Youtube application
You see the folders Internet, Multimedia, Office Mobile 2010, spelletjes, tools en utilities which contain a lot of programs and some games
