[XPERIA X10 General] darrab2002:
I want to tell you my story : I had the same experience with SE X1 so I was looking for another choice, first thing I decided

NO MORE WM

, X1 was my first and last windows mobile . I read about Android but never try, I was looking on the net, reading reviews and previews , I found out that the Desire would be the best, but its design was boring not like the fascinating X10.

X10 is the first SE Android experience because of that there might be some bugs, but now after one month using it I can tell you two words GO AHEAD .... that exactly the device which I was looking for, changing from X1 to X10 is like from hell to heaven .

I think a lot of great things will come soon : X10 will be rooted then it will get Android 2.1 (in Q4 2010)

P.S: as an Arabic user I am suffering that the device doesn't support my language, but it's still my favorite
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
No, that's not true. There's always an over representation of people who have problems on forums! And to tell you the truth, I have no problems at all with my phone. Bug free and lightning fast with the latest update. Mind you that I never use Timescape or Mediascape, but that's me! And the Desire has bugs too. :p
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
Hmmm didnt you started a similar thread before?

If you i had given you my opinion there. In short x10 is not a bad phone. If your expectation is high then you're likey to get dissapointed. Desire is a better option. But not the best looking phone imo.

And dont let timescape and medisca

pe affect your decision they are hardly useful
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
You are right. We cannot habe arabic without rooting so. It is one of biggest problems I had faced

Why is the Desire a better option? Because it has Android 2.1? Or is it because it displays gray colors as pink? Or maybe because it is unusable in the sun? Or maybe its the poor reception it receives or crappy pictures it takes? The desire has plenty of negatives that people are writing about all over the place, but it's still a GREAT phone. For my money I prefer the X10, some people will prefer the Desire, and that's fine, but my expectations were extremely high with the X10 and it has met every one of them, it's a fantastic phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Agreed, i had my x10 for a day and its been excellent.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I've had a few niggles with the phone, but nothing major.. I love it, such a great bit of kit.. fast, responsive, clear picture, generally very good ui.. have persevered with Mediascape and quite like it now.. just occasionally use the default mail app to make playlist (which irritatingly can't do in mediascape.. )

managing to get a full day out of the battery now too, and that's with quite a bit of use..

so.. onto OS/ firmware - They've already released a couple of minor build changes.. and another bigger one coming out in the next week or so.. then Android 2.1 (probably not 2.2 or later) in Q4 this year.. I'm not bothered about MT, but then I'm not a big gamer.... all things considered though. A1.6 is pretty damned good anyway.. (my missus has a HTC legend which is great.. but I still prefer my X10..!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
I too came from an X1 to an X10, and couldn't be happier. Even with the X1 modded with an HTC interface, this phone is so much more enjoyable to use. Such a smooth and responsive user experience compared to that one.

My friend has a Desire btw, and on the same network, on the same physical spot, my X10 has better signal reception and higher download speeds. Plus, for some reason the X10 both starts and shuts down WAY faster. So the Desire isn't all that much more desireable in my experience.
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
Sorry for being blunt, i was actually reading this thread on the phone and couldnt type long.

Our hesitating friend here is looking for something that he/she can show off. No doubt both phones are good looking physically and GUI wise. And the X10 suit my taste more.

However you have to admit the animation on the phone is just questionable. There are noticeable minor lags. The most obvious is when you hold your thumb on the home screen to change wallpapers, the window jerks open. Such a simple animation and yet it cant be done nicely on a 1ghz cpu. Hence I dare to say the desire does a better job at this. The animations are so fluid its almost on par with the iphone. You might say i'm being picky, i admit that, thats prob because my expectation was even more higher than yours.

Look nocturnal, both phones have good and bad points, it all depends on what features both phones offer matter to you most, and what are the bad points you can ignore. I'm a pessimist, I like my things by accepting their cons. Im also a X1 user as I mentioned in your earlier thread. Upgrading from that piece of junk to X10 is definitely a huge leap. I maybe complaining about the smallest details i can find on X10, but that does not mean Im not happy with the phone. I know iphone is the only phone(according to my experience) that can do the most fluid GUI, (HTC second) but can i live with no-multitasking, apple being a control freak etc etc? No

I'd give X10 a 8/10, X1 a 2/10.
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
you said it all
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
fm1776, none of those are issues to me especially no. 2 which I completely disagree with, no. 3 is also not the case with my phone, and the Android 1.6 being upgraded late this year ignores the fact that SE allows you to do the same and more that any Nexus 2.1 phone can do. Certainly a hard keyboard, if that is what you require, makes the x10 not the right phone for you. I am kind of shocked that you had the x1 but have passed on the x10 though, it is night and day between these phones, a lightyear leap, really.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
the X10 reminds me a lot of the PS3. when the PS3 came out, it was dissed left and right. fans lost faith.

look what happened now? PS3 is killing it. and it too had to get firmware updates. and after some major updates, it was rockin'

i feel almost the same about the X10 as i did when i purchased a PS3 and my friends clowned me for it. now, it's not a laughing matter.

X10 IS getting 2.1 and that is a fact (for now) and i think if SE gives us what we want, it will be a win-win sooner or later.

so far the phone is a let down for me personally.

i don't hate it. patience and time will tell about how i feel about the phone when it's all said and done.

but as a phone, it doesn't do the 'phone' particularly well at this stage. low call volumes, along with a vibration that you can't really feel and a battery life that you can not really depend on is something really bugs me.
[XPERIA X10 General] devilleather:
I also was hesitant and for the past 2 weeks ive been scouring the net for the best phone imo. Phones that had all the features that i were looking for just were not very beautiful to look at. But then i saw the X10 and i had to have it just from its sheer beauty. And it has all the features I was looking for except for the 12mp camera with xenon flash of course (for that i will have to wait for the nokia N8). So I recieved my phone today and its more beautiful in person than it is in the pics!! I am so pleased that i got it. All the OS stuff will be fixed/updated eventually. But i am very pleased with making the purchase. Although i wish i had found this site before i bought the phone so i would of know that there were 2 models, the x10i and x10a. Luckily i got the correct one. Hope this may help your decision.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
No, the X1 and the X10 really do cater to two different customers. I am of the low percentage of people that fall in the middle of these two phones. The fact is I want both of these phones rolled up together as one, plus MORE, MORE, AND MORE. I understand where this xperia line is leading us; no more laptop pc's. Nope, instead you will have docking stations with monitors and full keyboards; place your ppc on the pad and go. Your ppc will do it all. When I trade phones, it is to do my part to advance this goal. I do not need or use everything the x1 has. But, I want more out of the x10. In fact my p900, p910, and X1 all work good. I would jump on the x10 band wagon and ride the year out waiting for the x20, but. But, I don't like the issues this phone is having according to too many reliable sources. I do think it is a great phone, just too many hang up's for me at this moment, and I have an X1 to keep me warm. So no worries mate.

In terms of the items you see from my list, which are based on my expectations. I appreciate your feedback. But there are plenty of people posting is these forms that might not see the items I mentioned through the same rose colored glasses that you see them in. Than again if I owned the phone I might have the same opinion as you; who knows. From my SE experience and reading xda often, getting to know some of the opinions on here in a more personal level, from what I am seeing I will take a pass on the X10 for now. But that doesn't mean that I don't want you to enjoy yours! :cool:

Finally, I think my perspective speaks to a far number of people's concerns. We all just want SE to get it together. They are on the right track. They just keep coming up short.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
i think i ll have to find a compromising point......and know my needs.

iphone 3gs has a sh!tty camera....i need a fast camera with facial recognition to tag pics...mainly to upload to facebook.

- i need apps which let me find places to eat, movie showtimes, hangout around the town, bars (i live in singapore)...hows the google app market currently?

-i also need a flash/led light in the phone ..coz i need a torch many times.

-i need good design which oozes sex appeal..coz i do nightclubbing..and all this superficial beauty does matter...also..i am a young guy.

-i need a phone to go with my personality....i.e i dont follow the crowd...so no blackberry or iphone 3gs..even though iphone is very easy to use when drunk....X1 is a nightmare..

-i need a reliable phone in which the calls dont drop.....i make lot of international phone calls.

-and i need sms backup options with great contact integration ..i.e combine all info about people ..their facebook, email, and other personal info...coz i text lot of girls..and i need to remember stuff....i am guessing google cloud offers good backup options?..

dunno about sms backup though.

-also...great video playback to show funny videos to people. i heard X10 is getting HD video recording also in Q4??

if these things are true..then i ll go ahead and buy it.

only problem is.....that other party cant hear your voice clearly??

how bad is call quality?...coz i use my phone mostly in public places i.e college, buses, train, nightclubs etc
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I think this says it all. I am not against the x10. In fact I am hoping for a true success story. But I feel much more comfortable waiting for the updates to see what is actually worked out. Since that is in November I might as well wait for Feb and see what will be announced. Than I can decide to pick up a brand new x10 without all the issues, or wait a bit more for the x20. :cool:

Sorry but I missed the nic of the person who just received their x10 today. First, don't expect the things bugging you to be fixed. As a long time SE customer I can tell you that this is the only negative to SE. Second, other than looking beautiful, which we SE customers are used too :D, why not use it for a few weeks and come back to tell us how you feel after you've used it a while. Make sure to include what other products you are accustomed to using as well. For example, if you have been using the original Motorola brick phone since it came out and this is this first time you've traded up, we can put your comments into perspective :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
I just gave my X1 to my wife about two weeks ago.

I think the X10 was a good purchase.

I like the speed and the call quality is good with one exception.....VOLUME.

The volume is way too low for a crowded area.

Browsing is quick, Android is different from winmo in many ways so it's too early to tell which I like better.

Camera is very good and video viewing is crisp.

I'm happy with the X10 and I believe that a firmware update will help with call volume.

I say if you are considering purchasing the device, go ahead, you will be pleased.
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
1)X10 cameras is definitely the winner if you compare it with 3Gs, face recognition however does not always work, it 'forgets' the tags you had input

2) the flash can be used as a torchlight

3)i havent heard of anyone saying the phone is ugly

4)who knows this phone might get popular, everyone has an eye on pretty things and wish to own it

5)i havent had any call dropped, but you need to be careful with the power button, it is also a reject button during calls

6)google sync, SE sync, g-mail, take your pick

7)i can play 30fps, high-quality, lag-free mp4s at native resolution. and yeap hd video recording in Q4

8)its kinda your fault if you choose the wrong place to talk on a phone, i dont find the sound quality bad, but the volume is lower than average
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
To Nocturnal310:

Right on brother. I would just like to and one line.

-i need the device that i am paying money for to not be so frick'n buggy that i will want to pull my hair out waiting for the frick'n to load or waiting ONE YEAR for the manufacturer to issue the frick'n fix to things that are not working correctly. So I don't void my frick'n warranty having to fix the frick'n thing myself!
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
totally agree bro!

one last question guys...

how is the loudspeaker quality compared to iphone 3gs? ..louder? clearer? or like X1..i.e crappy?
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
I thought X1 speaker is pretty sharp and clear? X10 is the same and slightly louder than X1, quality wise beats 3GS according to gsmarena.com which i agree, however i wont call it loud, feeble is the right word
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
I'm sorry, it's a S(ystem's) O(urs) N(ot) Y(ours)
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
then i think you should get look for another phone. honestly, sony isn't forcing the phone down your throat. people who get the phone can complain about it but at the end of the day, you are the one that made a choice.

so after all the feedbacks, you should probably know what is right for you. either that or just wait. phone die quick with new phones are out every few months. getting or not getting the x10 won't be the end of the world.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
I have to disagree with you on that, I have had issues with every Ericsson phone I had ever since I jumped into the smartphone scene with the R380, even though they were always years ahead of the competition so I didn't mind. Yet this is the first phone that does not have ANY issues. It doesn't crash, doesn't need hard resets, it's perfect out of the box and any issues that it does have are ones that wouldn't bother me even if they never got addressed. SE got it together with this phone, and the fact that it will get new life at the end of the year just puts a smile on my face. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Arcticreaver, I think that is pretty much what I said :confused: of course you added the part about me buying something other the SE. Obviously you haven't followed the thread. :eek:

I am suppose to state my opinions to the current conditions of x10, which is what I've done. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean it is wrong for you, don't take it personal :cool:

To be clear: SE is a great company that lacks in software developement. Any long term SE customer will tell you that is a fact. We would all benefit if SE bought up a major software developer to plug this gap. Waiting a year for updates and half fixes is not an asset to SE. But they do it every model release.

The X10 has plenty of bugs. Some will be fixed and some won't. I bought every product I ever purchased from SE with bugs, it is to be expected. It is not a deal breaker for me. But the issues facing the X10 are too closely related to the reasons I would buy it, which was not the case in the other SE phone I still own. Which is why I will not be buying the x10 for the time being. No biggie.

I will wait for the updates in November and if by chance the x20 is coming right around the corner I will buy that instead. SE always takes too long to update and issue fixes and by the time the do the next model is almost out. Plus, there are usually not enough changes from model to model in the same line to warrant buying both. Example p900 and the p910, x1 and the x2. I never waited before this time but I know too well how SE operate. This time I will skip the frustration and go directly to happy :D
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
You're saying it like the phone is error free. Does such kind of product even exist?

The bugs found on the x10 probably does not concern you, then i wonder what do umean by your 'extremely high expectation'
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
This is where you and I disagree. You think you speak for everyone. I know that I don't. People will read the comments and some would agree with you, and some won't.

The title of this thread is not 'tell us why you bought the x10'. You must be a Democrat, they too can't stand anyone having an opinion other than their own. You should drop the hard sell dude, it is not very becoming. You should simply stick to what you like about the phone instead of trying to beat people up who do not.

If you noticed in my postings I said very clearly that the issues with the x10 are "too closely related to the reasons I would buy this phone." "Which is why I will not be buying the x10." I do not tell people not to buy it.

I would simply encourage everyone considering buying this phone to follow the threads related to the problems and decide for themselves if the issues are something they can live with. It is a matter of taste.

As for me, I will take a pass for the moment.
[XPERIA X10 General] devilleather:
Well i have been using iPhone 2G for the last 2 years and in january i purchased the nexus one. I sold both of those phones so to buy the xperia x10,so far i love it and i will post back in a few weeks to tell you how i may or may not love it anymore.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
fair enough! I wish you the best.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Well your true colors start to show! I was stating my opinion, not everyone's, so don't put words in my mouth, thanks.

You don't OWN the phone, do you? So do you want to know what an owner thinks or do you just want reinforcement for your decision not to purchase the phone? It seems like you want the latter. I'm not doing a hard sell, I passed on the Satio even though I was looking to get it to replace my c905 for a year. I passed on it basically for the reasons you state with the X10, that phone was a disaster firmware wise. The X10 is simply trouble free and a joy to use, most of the complaints are about Android 1.6 being on instead of 2.1 :rolleyes:. I also have a c905, c901, had an x1 (for 2 days which felt like an eternity) k790i, k770i, p800 and the list goes on, I love phones, some phones were great, some were bad. The X1 was a complete and utter failure, the X10 is the opposite of the X1, it works on every level.

I just get annoyed with bull**** negatives of why to not buy the phone when no other phone offers what the X10 does, and on top of it this is the most polished product SE has ever produced. Their is no QUESTION about that, so if you don't want to get the phone because it lacks, Xenon flash, or doesn't have 2.1, or doesn't have a trackball etc. Those are all fine reasons, but to claim that it is the software glitches etc. is just misstating the reality. The X10 does what it claimed it would do and it does it better then anyone else.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
I am unaware of any bugs per se, my email works perfectly - outlook, Yahoo & gmail, exchange calendar works, my 3G works great, my WiFi works great, GPS works extremely well, my camera takes great pics and the video recording is fantastic (although the mic is not as good as on my c905), my google map navigation works and was great on a cross country trip, mediascape works as advertised, as does timescape, my notifications all update, my phone lasts into the night with heavy usage, phone calls are clear, speaker phone works great, bluetooth file transfer is seamless, reception is better then any phone I have ever had and that is a LONG list, have yet to drop a call, traveled from Chicago to Toronto and back and the phone made it fun. What else do I need or expect from a phone?

The only bug I can think of is the face recognition forgetting a previously inputted individual. This is a feature only available through the X10 and not implemented in any CAMERA that I know of, so not a biggie and nothing I would get upset about if it never got fixed, as I stated before.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
i'm not knocking you for agreeing or disagreeing. we all voice our opinions.

the phone is what it is and right now and complaining about things isn't going to solve the bugs. that's what i'm saying not towards you, but making a simple statement for all the people complaining.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I almost wish my X10 had some mysterious bugs, so I can ***** like the rest of you non-X10 owners.

It's been a pretty much perfect phone for me... typing get silly, but I find the iPhone keyboard to make just as many mistakes.
[XPERIA X10 General] imugur:
What keyboard are you using? Use a more advanced one and typing becomes sweet :-)

Mugur

[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Hahaha! Hear hear!

Yeah, the keyboard is perfect for me too!
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
got the phone finally!

white color!

so far...it seems much much better than windows mobile ever was.

the feel is much better than iphone.

only problem was zooming into pics..no multitouch.

speaker is loud enough.

call quality is great for me.

how to sync back contacts from gmail?
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
If your coming from WinMo then this phone will seem like a dream. However if your coming from OSX, Android 2.1 or HTC sense flavoured Android it would be harder to please you.
