[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
Looking away from the language, it is a fine letter to SE.

I have also only had SE phones private, starting with the old

Ericsson 318, Erisson t68

t280, t610, k530, k750, k810, k850

c905

w595, w715, w760

x10, x10 mini, x10 mini pro

My 3 kids have all had SE W595 and now they all have X10 mini.

Also i have only used SE for work in many years, currently i have a x10 mini pro...

At work it have been me that have decided what phones we have bought and used for the last 3-4 years, so i have been the main reason that we have only bought SE phones...

- that is over 250 SE phones all together, at work...

(I know that it is NOTHING in the big picture looking from SE headquarters, still it must count for something)

In this answer i just want to ad my own dissapointment thoug...

The main problems is that the big X10 is missing the FM-radio, missing the better headset connection and missing the one finger zoom, while the two cheap small X10 mini models have those things.

What is that about SE ?

Why have you decided to make 3 different X10 series phones, and then at the same time make the TOP model, the one with the weakest features ?

I am really dissapointed with you SE, the lack of updates, the missing features in the X10 top model.

From (i think it was) the old T610, or was it K750, and all the way up to now, my SE phones have allways had FM radio build in, and that was for me a loved feature, then you decide to release the X10 without FM Radio, and after that you again decide to put in FM radio in the mini´s ??

I know i didn´t read close enough in the specs when i bought my X10, but i really was expecting that there would be FM radio in an SE phone, and offcource there would be in the top model, no question about that. What a dissapointment !

An other lack is that tracker (step counter) that was build in i think all the newer phones eg. W595 and W715, now with X10 i again see a loved feature removed, why ?

I find it strange that good working features that SE implement in your phones, is removed again from newer phones.

Features that actually IS the SE brand, features that we learn to love and use every day, you decide to remove.

Why ?

I don´t get the point in making that huge effort to make a few nice new features like timescape and mediascape, and becource of those features you have been left behind, and are currently stock on Android 1,6, and right now we all are waiting for S/E-Android 2.1,, ONLY Android 2,1 when other companies like HTC are moving away from Android 2.1 and on to Android 2.2...

S/E why not release Android 2.2 fast and be the leader in the marked.

Then let people decide for them self IF they want the S/E signature-features like TimeScape and MediaScape when you have those ready later.

Just make new features avalible from your fine PlayNOW system just like you did with CreaTouch.

Why have you at the same time decided to lock down the bootloader of the X10 when Android is a brand new OS you are just learning ??

- release the bootloader now, and look what happen, learn from it and then when you are actually doing a better job coding the OS than other DEV´s on the www, you can decide if you again will lock down bootloaders in your future android phones.

At the moment it make no sense at all, not to let your dev-team learn all they can about what can be done with the hardware you have made.

The hardware is actually really great, and solid build, it is "only" the software that is the problem...

Now i move on to the strange thing about wide range of current phone models you have on the marked.

Why that many, is that really nessesserry at all, really ??

Why not make an effort to be the absolutly best there is on a mutch smaller range of phones, only focus on a few models, perhaps only android phones, as you have said that you want to be world leaders in Android powered phones in a few years anyway.

As i see it you only need one X10 model more to have a complete set of phones, so there will be at least one that souit everyone.

Add one more X10 mini and make it with an old style slide out t9 keyboard.

At last.

I have also been thinking about jumping over to an other brand, and perhaps also look for other phones next time we need some at work, as i am that dissapointed with SE...

But private i find my self thinking that i perhaps just should wait and get the X12 when that is released...

Can i really be that stupid, REALLY ???

- dispite my dissapointment with SE, really ???

SE you are SO lucky that you have a big and loving fan base...

At work i KNOW that SE have the best hardware and the lack of features i mentioned here is no problem in work use...

Again SE you are REALLY lucky that you have a big loving fan base...

Just DON`T dissapoint us anymore !
