I notice that some phone manufacturers like HTC did not even bother to have blog page or facebook accounts to inform users about their firmware upgrade via these means.

But SE bother to do that and they are bother to listen to your complaints and feedbacks. I like SE's approach.
[XPERIA X10 General] ruskival:
just a thought

Before i begin, no disrespect to anyone on this forum or thread, if i offend anyone in any way i apologize in advance.

just to begin, i do have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i (australian version), the plan i got it on i could have taken any other phone that i desired, whether the HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Milestone whateva, but i chose the X10.

why? you might ask?

because i like the way it looks, it does everything i need it to do (more or less) ive played with the other "more" advanced phones with eclair and froyo but guess what they arent any faster or better, the Galaxy has issues galore and it lags like hell after a few hours of use, same with the desire and moto. yeah id like to have multi touch (only for games though,) even then its a work phone not a gameboy.

i do want 16million colours but i can wait for it. camera flash???? whatever just get vignette or any other app and youll get camera flash and better photos.

facebook integration? is it really that important? whats wrong with just the facebook app and timescape for that? btw im not a fan of timescape or mediascape but i do see the idea behind it, which with time could be made great but as of now its a bit of love/hate story.

BTW I AM PISSED OFF ABOUT THE DELAY FOR ECLAIR.

BUT AS IT STANDS I STILL BELIEVE THAT X10 IS ONE OF THE BEST PHONES ON THE MARKET.

ALSO I WORK IN THE TELCO INDUSTRY AND PLAY WITH MANY PHONES DAILY EVEN USE THEM FOR MYSELF TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE LIKE AND THE X10 IS THE ONLY ONE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED BACK WITH ISSUES.

maybe im just lucky and havent had problems or the aussie version has something different and makes it work better. but seriously why always complain about the phone and btw check out any other thread for any other phone you will always find complaints.

and even when we get eclair someone will complain bout something else and if we get froyo same thing will happen.

is it really that hard to just be happy with your phone????

maybe im wrong or i just see things differently

well thats my 2 cents.

Well, I'm using my spare phone right now, a HTC Legend, because I just got tired with Android 1.6.

But, as soon as the 2.1 upgrade is coming, I will be using my X10 again, because the Legend is not "my" kind of phone.

I like the design of the X10, Camera and the 4" display.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Just check with some of my friends using HTC Desire and Galaxy S, many of them complain that the phone will lag after using it for a while and they encounter phone hang at times.

I have also happen to meet another friend of mine who using black X10 today and I ask him whether how he find his X10?

He told me he got no problem so far and no hang at all, just that he will need to restart the phone once after a few days of using without shutting down the phone everyday. His friends who are using Desire and Galaxy S also encounter phone hang.

I have to say that SE has done a good job in fine tuning the Android OS and slow work really produces better results compared to other phone manufacturers which can give you faster OS upgrade but phone will not perform the way it should be.

Same as what I have experienced when I am using different models of HTC phones previously as phone will slow down after some time and it will hang at times.
[XPERIA X10 General] losdrivare:
I liked my X10 for a while, but I got increasingly frustrated with the poor call quality/volume, lack of outlook sync and the ridicilous lack of updates. Also it was a tad too large for my taste.

I just picked up a HTC Desire to replace it and to me the Desire is everything the X10 was not. I sync contacs and calendar with Outlook through HTC Sync. I keep in-call volume at 70% and I have no problem to hear or to be heard, no need to repeat myself over and over like with the X10. The Desire is not as beautiful, it has slightly worse viewability in sunlight and the screen is noticably smaller - but so is the device itself. And it is much more responsive than the X10, both in speed and screen responsiveness. It has Froyo. I love my Desire! Never going back. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Martin5000:
I love my X10...

.. so much that I just preordered a HTC Desire HD to replace it... and I can hardly wait till it arrives! :D

While I know very little about the Desire HD, there's no way I can imagine it being any worse than the X10.

I actually DO like the X10, but it's nowhere near being a great phone. The announced updates will help some of the issues I have, which is nice. But there are some hardware shortcomings that I simply cannot live with and I can't see those getting fixed by future firmwareupdates.

I agree. Actually we just need bugs fixed (like low speaker while calling and push email) may be update bios and not the OS. But if the new OS can do things much better, I think it will be fine. But what's wrong with 1.6? I am satisfy with the OS.

After so long, I still love my X10 more each day when I bought it. This phone has never hang or reboot after using it for so long compared to my previous HTC phones.

Good effort by SE to fully test the firmware to make sure it is stable and bugs free before launching to the public.

If really love my X10 and it's okay that I have to wait for a year untill I can renew my contract with another phone:) At this time I don't think other phones are MUCH better than my X10....

[XPERIA X10 General] zimbashka:
X10 is the prettiest phone ever, sure I love it.

(SE the ones who created it and showed no love for it /bastards/.)
[XPERIA X10 General] kraven0731:
not much. Need those official firmware updates can't wait see new features:)
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Well don't mind him. I guess he's just sore he can't afford an Iamalamephone or Rachael, that's why he's fixated on finding negative reviews over the net to convince himself that it's ok he can't afford those.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, as for me, I love my Rachael. Unique (ok.. not so unique after all now that she has her siblings =/) design, looks classy. Alot of the phones out there are closely designed after the Iamalamephone -_-

Saves me lots of free space in my bag as I no longer have to buy Street Directories every year to chug them in my bag for directions, video on the go, not forgetting the nice-looking Timescape and Mediascape. So far (ok, maybe this applies to the date I got my phone, cos I have no idea how the newer phones fare now) it has the best multimedia player among the android phones. And the nice-nice flipping tiles thingee on the Timescape. =x

No issues from reading my emails.

And fun widgets!!!!!

Now with Live Wallpapers, it makes the phone doubly nice.

Though it has its cons like slight lags from time to time, and some calls are abit inaudible, no sound equalizers etc, but well, I have accepted these shortcomings.

No Multitouch? Haven't used it before in my life, so it hadn't made any impacts to improve my past. So have never looked forward to it (though I do admit I have been sorely looking forward to Live Wallpapers cos they are just sooooooooooo cool and pretty).

It's not about me trying to dismiss or feign ignorance to these bad points. The fact is, I did my research on Rachael since Dec 2009. Read negative comments posted on the youtube videos of the prototypes. Read comments on forums for the first few weeks after the launch.

So yeah, I know very well of what to expect from Rachael, and I still bought her. I have no regrets. Will be using her until either I lose her, or she gets beyond repair and dies out on me.

When considerin buyin a new phone I searched for a good phone and I was almost ready to get a galaxy s. But I can not stand samsung phones. they are just terrible in my opinion. I wanted a big screen so X10 cougt my eyes and there were terrible reviews about this phone. As I read thoese review I understand that most of them are regarding software shortcomings. But these problems can be solved and now I have my X10.

After upgrading to 2.1 and rooting it I absoloutely love it. I used to have a Hero and X10 is not even comparable with Hero.

I love my X10 and looking forward for an AOSP rom.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
I still love it till now and more each day after upgrade to Android 2.1.

I have tested some other phones like Samsung Beam which is also on Android 2.1, Samsung Beam is so laggy in all aspects compared to X10.

My friend tested the video recording on my X10 compared to his HTC Desire and was impressed by the smooth frame rate on my X10 then on his Desire. :p

[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
It's ok, mediocre design, poor screen quality, no multitouch, noisy photos, substandard GPU, locked down boot loader, poor battery life, you can barely hear calls or ringer; in other words - pretty typical mid-range android phone.

On the upside, you can get it cheap second hand and it fit's in a jeans pocket nicely.

If you are falling in "love" with your phone, it's called paraphernalia; I strongly recommend getting treatment.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr_Element:
It's about being objective or subjective. For every "bad" feature someone (like the guy above) points out there is also a "good" counterpart!

I mean ...

mediocre design(?!) ... I say super design with smooth curves and luster white is an eye-magnet.

poor screen quality(!?) ... where did that come from? 4 inch screen way bigger than most and though it's that big provides better color quality than other competitors (aka Galaxy S!) since with 2.1 upgrade has better pixel density and better color management (google to see what SE has modified to make things look better with less colors than other devices).

noisy photos huh(!?) ... well I say , the best photos than any other android can capture! Appart from Desire_HD I'm not aware of another device running Android that can capture better quality pictures. You need perfect shots...? Get a freakin' digital camera not a mobile phone.

ye I can't hear calls that's about right but if you can't hear the ringer you should have your ears checked! has gotten a lot better with 2.1

I'm very happy I bought this device despite some minor drawbacks and certainly it's not mid-range but as announced high-end. And you are allowed to fall in love with an object that offers so much convenience in everyday life!

Regards. :cool:

If it's called paraphernalia, I am enjoying every moment of my paraphernalia!!!!

:D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Yes, design, os preference - all are subjective. But, things like small amount of memory, colour noise in photos or lack of multi-touch, are objective facts.

I absolutely agree that design is a subjective choice. For my taste, X10's design is too much generic late 2000s appliance and white is sooo Apple c.2001. It just doesn't do anything innovative and will never be a design classic. TBH, the design looks like something carried out by a committee, optimised make sure it doesn't offend anyone. Not a bad one, just blah - in my, humble, opinion anyway.

Pixel density is determined by hardware, no way was it changed by a software update. No matter how you spin it, it's locked to 65k colours so you get awful artefacting in photos. SE wouldn't have to desperately scramble to patch the colour management if it provided 24bit colour; but, they can't because the snapdragon GPU is anemic and can't drive a high resolution display at a suitable FPS. The display lacks the clarity and colour range of Apple's retina dispaly, and the easy readability of AMOLED screens. It is old TN TFT tech, well past its glory days, eclipsed by sIPS LCDs and AMOLED. http://www.gsmarena.com/display_shootout-review-541.php

Put it this way, we have the same technology used by the most budget sub $100 smartphones.

By jamming 8MP into a tiny ccd sensor SE chose marketing hype over picture quality. The amount of light getting to each sensor is so small that all pictures have a lot of colour noise. (Unless the subject is sitting in bright sunlight with a spotlight shining on them) A better choice would have been to reduce the number of pixels or double the ccd size. This is what apple did with iphone4 and Nokia with N8 (nokia uses 1/1.83 sensor, biggest of the camera phone crop). As the result, in less than ideal conditions - eg overcast sky, these phones outperform our 8mp x10 by a wide margin. In fact, with reasonably overcast sky - I have to reduce images size to 2MP on the X10 to remove colour noise. I do not expect DSLR performance out of a cameraphone, however I do not see why a $400 phone should perform worse than a $50 point and shoot.

It is a mid range performing phone that's a bit expensive new. No way 384MB of RAM, no multitouch and 65k TN LCD display let it get into the top tier. Using a Snapdragon with the weak adreno gpu was ok at the beginning of last year, not now.

I'm happy with mine as I got it for free; my GF bought it for the camera, tried it out, laughed and got an iPhone 4. This is excellent as I need an android for work so it means I got a rather better second phone than I was expecting. :-)

TBH, my biggest gripe is that it's a sony and they will eat their kids and rape their grandmas before unlocking one of their devices to 3rd party firmware.

P.S. I still maintain that you should limit love to sentient beings.

Since SE confirmed no more major updates it kind of pissed me off but i am not giving up simply because my X10 is the most sexiest phone around.

[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
I was blinded by the beauty and quasi-functionality of this device but have seen the light.

I bought an HTC Aria, flashed 2.2 and couldn't believe the response time difference between it and the X10. I could also hear phone calls loud and clear.

Then I bought a Samsung Focus to give WP7 a run through. I love the OS and the device runs flawlessly. It is only MS's first reslease so there are some minor things missing. But, again, I can actually hear the caller on the other end, my contact pictures are sharp regardless of how they are linked. Pinch zoom and MT are already there. Audio and video reproduction are close to the X10 although not as sharp. I also like the X10 camera better.

This has changed my personal opinion of the X10. Not a rant and not bashing SE but the X10, IMHO, is a great piece of hardware that performs less than admirably due to SE's integreated BS.

Anyone wishing to add to their collection can PM me. It is a X10a in pristine condition and it is for sale. PM with offer.
