the pictures device is codenamed moto morrison. (not official name upon release) its suppose to be an entry level and aiming as a 99 dollar price with 2 year contract. and appeal mroe to teens.

g1v2 code name is bigfoot. (again not official name) but in other sources it says g1v2 aka big foot aka morrison.. and it seems like all these sources are getting things mixed up.

http://phandroid.com/phones/#rumored as u can see the bigfoot is made by samsung and morrison is made by moto.. so i am sure people are getting things mixed up. we will never know until its made official. i just wish the hero would come out for tmobile.. =( but there was a tmobile conference mentioning the hero and the reply was"they dont want nothign to do with the hero"

FCCA documents show the htc hero coming out on ATTs frequencies.. and since apple wants to leave att, the htc hero could be its successor.

[XPERIA X10 General] commodoor:
It looks almost the same as SE Satio (Idou) the specs are little bit different. and is the camera at the bottom ??:s weird and what is the OS? like the pictureit is the samen as Idou i gues symbian.

we shall see
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
4 inch? and the X2 gets 3.2? Damn...............................
[XPERIA X10 General] manishbully:
Its android. .. not Symbian ... and u r right ... camera at bottom ??? lol
[XPERIA X10 General] VNMenIeu:
Where's the keyboard??? Ahhh....throw in the trash.
[XPERIA X10 General] doministry:
This "homescreen" looks like a photoshop from Satio, the one based on Symbian.

These "specs" are the generic ones you'd suspect anyway...
[XPERIA X10 General] VNMenIeu:
No GPS? just AGPS?
[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
AGPS is better than GPS.
[XPERIA X10 General] VNMenIeu:
Not for me. I have to pay for service fee with AGPS. With GPS, it's free.
[XPERIA X10 General] doministry:
Maybe faster but functionally it's CRAP!!!

When you're abroad you just use GPS for free,

while AGPS costs fortune.

[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
Ahh , I see your point. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Rudegar:
AGPS == normal gps plus the option of getting help from gsm antennas not something which use gprs at all of cause not all operators support it

but our current x1 is also agps but I never use it I just stick with normal gps

most people seem to confuse agps with that using 3 gsm antennas thing which it's not

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

so bottom line is that it's the same gps as x1
[XPERIA X10 General] commodoor:
ok I see it now, I had to look very closely :P
[XPERIA X10 General] hihik:
what do you, guys, think the price will be?

[XPERIA X10 General] Dr.Sid:
Back to Rachael .. what kind of touch screen will it have ? Resistive with stylus or capacitive without stylus ?

I started with Palm Vx .. stylus was just ok for me. But with xperia I use it less and less and if I could I would not use it at all. So I would actually like capacitive screen as it contains no moving parts and it reacts better.
[XPERIA X10 General] gsingh7:
I think all android smart phones have capacitive touch screen and 4-inch screen in x3 gonna be awesome.:eek:

mine aswell hopefully in like march-april:)
[XPERIA X10 General] szlevi:
I honestly wish Sony would not only drop Microsoft but also CEASE spending one iota energy on the entire Windows Mobile platform.

It's an inherently flawed design, by its kernel, memory management etc etc

MS has to go back to the drawing board and forget compatibility (who cares about an old phone app?)
[XPERIA X10 General] szlevi:
And the point of having such craptastic-quality (it's a phone cam!) 1080p recording is ZERO.

It's an idiotic idea and I hope SE won't spend its resources on such a useless "bullet point"...
[XPERIA X10 General] gundamboy:
yeah I know, I meant that the whole idea seems stupidly impossible and retarded.
[XPERIA X10 General] silv3rfox:
i guess it's the 1st SE phone usin Android

Honestly, nothing interesting there really.

Besides too much blue colour... :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] cenwesi:
Does anyone remember they pulled the same crap for the X1 and its pannel. We NEVER!!! got close to what they showed on the video. Sony has really lost customers....
[XPERIA X10 General] ipporek:
Officially announced!!!

Hmmm... does that mean there's gonna be other Android phones from SE next year? Wonder what else will there be...

And guess gotta wait a few more months for X10...
[XPERIA X10 General] infazz:
aaarrr. I want it already ))) white is looking sooo sweet)))
[XPERIA X10 General] slash_5150:
slight downsides are the lack of divx support out of the box and no radio...

wait....no radio??!

anyway looks soooo sexy! :D might get it nx yr. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Jasand:
lucky for me im due an upgrade in Jan so ill wait and take the upgrade when the X10 comes out.

I really hope im not dissapointed just like i was with the X1.
[XPERIA X10 General] B3ler3fonte:
Few days ago Rachael aka X10i In Black came 2 my office for further testing procedure as the device is listed to be released end of Q4 mid of Q1 of 2010.

Will share with you my first impressions, my unboxing video i shot, pictures of the phone itself and screenshots of its menus.

For the record its equipped with 1.6 Android version so it looks promising...

Within this week will post what i have gathered so far ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] ipporek:
Well, it has been announced it'd be released on Feb 2010 in UK.
[XPERIA X10 General] doministry:
Yesterday I checked G1.....

Is that true that Android does not support Bluetooth file sharing??

Also seems that G1's display reacts for FINGER tip (...skin...),

but not really for nails... so it's like you cannot operate it with stylus really?

If yes, that's quite a horrible functionality downgrade.

if ur talking about the xperia x10 it is compatible there are two versions one for tmob and one for att

kinda like what google's doing with the nexus 1
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
Here are my requirement for a pefect device.

WinMo

QWERTY Slider

D-Pad (optical scroll is a plus)

At least 4 inch screen

Soft buttons

Resistive touchscreen

Good quality speakerS

1GHZ processor (at least)

Support for 32GB microSDHC

Will give the X10 a chance, though :D.
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
Hmm, I do agree with you, when it comes to the Qwerty keyboard, speakers and memory card thingy. But I don't really think that 1GHz prossecor is a must on a phone. And windows mobile is a nice OS, but I like the Android platform a lot more.

But the one thing that I miss on android, is Microsoft Office.

That is probably the only thing that I tought was a pluss with WinMo.

Android got a better market place, more widgets, the possibility to make folders on your start screen etc.

I just can't wait untill I get back home, and can get my X10 in the mail.

But I won't get home untill next weekend. and by then, the phone should have been sent to my home :)
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
I know the feeling. :D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] szlevi:
WinMo is a piece of crap compared to Android, let's face it. And while the upcoming WM7 gains stability it loses the sole reason we kept using WinMo: multitasking.

**** WinMo, long live Android and WebOS! :)

Nice to have one and I'd prefer it, I agree but not a deal-breaker anymore... unless you have a resistive screen with its usual problems when it comes to on-screen keyboards. ;)

It's a gimmick if you have a properly working (= not resistive) touchscreen panel.

Are you looking for a netbook or a pocketable smartphone? 4" is the MAXIMUM I'd try to carry around in my jacket... it's large enough for anything including a proper on-screen keyboard (in landscape mode.)

Very useful, I agree - but it really is not an issue anymore, all mobile OSes support it.

This is something you keep posting and I still don't understand why... resistive, in its current form, is almost always an inferior experience compared to *any* capacitive phone - you can see this in every WinMo device when it misses your touch or mis-registers it (maybe there are some newer WM ones with capacitive screens?)

The only upside of resistive is that you can use it with anything, your gloves on etc - this is one of the few things Apple got right at the beginning: large capacitive touchscreen with hard cover (glass) for durability.

Waste of space and money and couldn't care less anyway - if it has a headphone port, I can hook up anything if needed.

They should spend this money on a large built-in flash storage so I only have to buy a 32GB card when I ran out of the onboard 32GB space. :D

Again, it's typical bulletpoint marketing - who cares about CPU speed if your entire experience is fast and the unit does everything I want?

1GHz is plenty fast for almost anything, I'd rather like to see well-optimized Android code to take advantage of it.

Just give me 16GB built-in storage, I'll stick in another 16GB...
[XPERIA X10 General] sasa3342:
Does X10 have graphic card?
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
WinMo is still the best mobile OS on the market. It is not perfect and has its problems, but in terms of customization and functionality, nothing can comapre to it. That is not a personal opinion. It's a fact.

It is a dealbreaker and always will be. Nothing can replace the physical contact you make when you press the button. Our brains are built this way, real > virtual. Also, resistive > capacitive, but more on that later.

I lol'd. The D-Pad is essential for many programs and games. They simply don't work without it. It is useful in navigation as well.

If you use your phone like a simple device for making calls and the occasional calculation... then yes, you don't need one.

If you use it as a pocket PC phone, then you DO need it.

The Optical scroll is down to personal preference, really. I find it a must when it comes to web site scrolling/menus/e-books. I can't live without it anymore.

Personal preference, once again. I need a bigger screen and a huge keyboard (like the TP2's).

I don't see the relevance. Soft buttons are EXTREMELY important and the OS has nothing to do with it. I have mapped 4 functions for each soft button (1, 2 and tripple press + long press), so I can controll every aspect of the device without using the touchscreen.

Totally wrong. The only good thing capacitive has going for it is the multi-touch and that will change soon when the resisitve m-touch screens are incomporated.

Resistive is more accurate, provides higher resolutions and can be operated with all manner of styluses and even gloves (not only your fingures).

Also, quality resistive screens give you the ability to NOT accidentally select items. The pressure needed is almost incignificant, but is enough to render accidental pressing a thing of the past (or of capacitive screens).

Also, resistive give better feedback and not just the feeling of pressing a hard glass surface., but that can be placed into the personal preference directory.

Bull... The X1's speaker is pathetic compared to my old N95's speakers. Ringtone volume is MAGNITUDES better and listening to music without headphones is a pleasure. The N95's audio output is almost as good as an aduio mini system and I am not even exaggerating.

That is the point. The phone won't be able to do all the required tasks and be fast at the same time with an old CPU.

Modern pocket PC phones get closer to UMPC style devices every day. 500mhz processors don't cut it anymore.

Personal preference.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Since "best" is subjective when talking about something like an OS, that most certainly is not "fact".

The biggest problem with WinMo (besides the real fact that MS is abandoning it), is the lack of native touchscreen support in the vast majority of apps. Because of how long WinMo has been around, and that 6.5 is really the only version that has extensive touchscreen support, many apps lack touch UIs.

I've seen this extensively with my iPAQ 910c.

This stems directly from my point above. If all the apps had been designed with touchscreen capabilities first and foremost (as with iPhone OS, Android, and WebOS), this wouldn't be an issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
Seems too me like a lot of opinions are being expressed as fact here. These things are just toys that will themselves be obsolete in a few short years. Not worth getting worked up over guys. How bout we stick to the X10 hardware and its operating system and save the OS comparisons not bearing on it for another thread?
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
@szlevi

based on your comments. which don't need to be quoted so everyone must suffer, again, your a pompus asshole who obviously grew up on mommy and daddy's money. if u are getting the phone. great. if not, great. either way. i doubt that many people would miss your opinions around here.
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
Most people don't like their thumbs to obscure half the screen when playing a game. Touchscreen gaming is a gimmick.

I prefer buttons over touchscreen and it feels more natural, anyway.

Ahh... yes. I knew you were familiar from somewhere.. You are that troll I repeatedly shot down last year... the one that resorted to insults when he had no arguments and to useless rage when dissproven.

I vowed never to respond to any comment made by you. Too bad I forgot who you were during my absence from xda or I wouldn't have bothered answering.

Good thing I remembered in time, though. I am looking forward to the mods banning you.

Let this be a warning to all the usesrs here. Don't feed the troll.
[XPERIA X10 General] xperiance:
If they follow the way of the X1 - and there's no reason to believe they won't - it will be released a year from now at a price of $900-$1000.

Probably goes for both X2 and X3.
[XPERIA X10 General] Chaosstorm:
Well that "boy genius" website aint really a good source,

in the times the xperia was still in prototype they stole the review of some other site and said that it was theirs :P

[XPERIA X10 General] VelikiMeshtar:
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 will feature a 4-inch touchscreen display with the unusual resolution of 852 x 480 pixels. The 800 x 400 pixel resolution reported by Expansys is more likely a mistake as the screen aspect ratio is different.

[XPERIA X10 General] Dr.Sid:

As for the CPU, X1 has CPU just OK. The problem with slow video playback is problem of display drivers. Slowness of everything else is to be blamed on WM. Android is a lot better in this.

So I guess it will be fine.
[XPERIA X10 General] a5ian300zx:

snapdragon 1ghz processor, separate graphics 3d mem and accelerator

not too fond of the GUI theme, which can always get changed and hopefully get the touchflo for android i.e. HTC Hero interface
[XPERIA X10 General] safdl:
Basically its like this....

Android is a new market, i bet you any money it costs a lost less to licence a phone for android than it does for windows...

All the networks are bringing in android and guess what....it beats symbian hands down. With a bit more tweaking it will compete with windows soon too. but maybe not just yet...

Obviously the networks feel that for now at least ANDROID is the way to go. Not Winmo....remind me when WM7 was due...WM6.5....?? was it on time? Does WM ever work out of the box??

Bottom line is CREDIT TO XDA FORUMS - They have singled handedly kept WM alive!! without these technological geniuses winmo is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

SE must expect BIG things to come from google hence they have equiped their handset with big things (CPU etc)

Google is also going to compete with MS for OS, and i bet they will give it a good shot. Everything google do, they seem to do better than MS. For now anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] Dr.Sid:
Agreed .. all hail XDA. It makes my stupid mistake (buying WM) a bit lighter.
[XPERIA X10 General] doministry:
Heheh. Although WM rocks,

seems Android is a worthy contender!
[XPERIA X10 General] nevermind:
Well it's actualy cool device, looks fine, fits fine in your hand (as stated in X2 - unless you're dwarf). The system looks also fine at this moment, however WM still kicks ass. It's like periods of life - PalmOS died already as old man, WINMO is in best years, iPhone OS is teenager and Android just a baby..

So, because I am not a geek or techie, I'll stick with X1 or maybe X2. But won't keep this
[XPERIA X10 General] Mikulec:
Do u have any info which provider will offer the x2 and x3 in Czech republic?
[XPERIA X10 General] nevermind:
Mikulec: providers have they own contracts.. So this is what I do not know.

Operátoři u nás mají vlastní smlouvy s SE. Takže opravdu nevím, zda to někdo z operátorů bude nabízet. A ani se to nedozvím dokud nebude pár dní před prodejem.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mikulec:
aha, ok. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] orelsi:
Agreed on every single word.
[XPERIA X10 General] WhyBe:
Have I missed something??? :confused:

What's so special about this phone? No app store, no music download service. Is the OS revolutionary? Will the apps and OS be optimized for the hardware or mismatched like in WM? In these days, a killer phone has to have a killer OS and great software, not just high-spec hardware.

I too am excited for a new Xperia, but the X2 and X3 have FAIL written all over them--at least from the info I've seen so far. I'm not so sure SE has what it takes to deliver an amazing phone anymore :(

I'm of the belief we are witnessing the last days of SE in the high end market.

Hope I'm wrong...
