[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
People can have opinions, my opinion is that you make up stuff to justify your decision not buy the X10. That's because some of the issues you bring up just don't exist and you fail to acknowledge that they're not issues. Your post is 90% made up stuff, which is to be expected seeing that you've never used the phone.

Your issues, if you remember:

1) I prefer a hard keyboard and the with the issues facing the on-screen keyboard, the rest of the phone would really have to be superstar to over come this issue for me. Not a deal breaker by itself.

Nothing can be done about that and it is not an issue, it's a feature of the phone.

2) Timescape lags, contact photo not clean, issues with google email and facebook functionality, plus doesn't sync'n well and, lack of thoughtfulness with the controls.

All of this is some hearsay bull****, my timescape doesn't lag, contact photos are clean, I have no issues with any of these features, and while at first I was not a big fan of timescape I am actually finding it useful now. What Google Email or Facebook functionality issues have you seen people write about? Examples please. Lack of thoughtfulness with controls? What does that even mean?

3) Battery life is not optimised for the X10's performance. Not a deal breaker

Once again, this battery lasts a full day with lots of usage, much better then 90% of smartphones and many dumbphones including my c905. What is not optimized about it?

4) Flash 10.1 not released yet and it is not yet known what issues will arise with working on the X10. Current flash players isn't really a proper flash player and video hangs at 50% complete. Issue for me

You're bringing up a software issue that every Android phone has, but it has been confirmed that flash will run on the X10's hardware. It's not an X10 issue, it's an Android/Flash issue that is being addressed by Adobe and Google.

5) Running 1.6 and given SE track record the phone will get one up date to possibly the 2.1 in NOVEMBER. And, after that x10 owners will be on their own. Plus spring will be the launch of SE's next product. For me this is the biggest issue.

This argument makes little sense coming from an X1 owner, what do you need in 2.1 that 1.6 doesn't have? Is not having Google Earth on your phone until Oct-Dec a deal killer? SE's UI is extensive and includes just about every feature 2.1 has in 1.6.

6) Suspicious that the screen protector that is included and shipped attached is really covering up a more serious issue with the actual screen itself. I do not see this as SE being thoughtful. Other wise why not just put it in the box and let the user decide? Some markets even got two screen protectors. One attached and second one to attach at a later time. It smells an awful lot like a screen manufacturing problem to me. Time will tell. But still an issue for me.

What more serious issue is being covered up???? What is suspicious about it? Nothing. The screen is the best thing about the phone, bright even in direct sunlight, 100 times better then in the X1.

Not liking the phone because you want other features that this phone doesn't offer is fair game, but you're not arguing that, you're arguing that the phone is not a polished end-user product which is just not true.
