By saying "We know we made mistakes..... butttt we aren't going to do anything about it", they are simply trying to convince previous customers this experience will be better, while at the same time winning over new customers who might have heard bad things about the x10, et al.

Just a lame marketing ploy. Now, if they were willing to actually step up and at least give us froyo, I, for one, would change my tune greatly.

I would be telling my friends to get the arc instead of the opposite (as I do love my x10, thanks to the community on here.), as I just hate the way sony ericsson choose to do business.
[XPERIA X10 General] HYPER-X10:
The Arc looks so good, I'm willing to forgive any of SE's sins :p

One device I'd really like to have in the interim is a Desire Z. 1.8Ghz baby:eek:

The Desire Z (T-mobile G2) is almost universally considered to be a good device. Better battery life than Desire HD i think. LOTS of developer support.
[XPERIA X10 General] l32007:
Too right, never getting an SE phone again.

Nexus is my next phone... in 23 months lol :|
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Deffinately not sony ericcson, not after the hassle iove had with their support. a known fault with thier handset and no intrest in repairing/replacing even at the stores request, eventually lost it on the phone after sending it back twice and just getting firware updates then they hing up, emailed complaints and head office plug their generic contact email over a weeek ago with no reply. Very bad service and no after support if their is any problems, the 1500 odd posts on there own forum about the issue doesnt even have 1 reply from sony
[XPERIA X10 General] JaredP:
Perhaps HTC service is good outside the US, but here it is terrible. My wife's Aria shattered from a 2 foot tumble off a stroller. They gave us the runaround, claiming the phone was too new to repair. A month later they wanted to charge $100 for a new screen, even though they sold a defective device. I won't do business with HTC again, even for a Nexus One.

I'd wait for the Arc. The UK is supposed to be on the early release list this year. It is basically the product of all the complaints they got from the X10. Hopefully they've learned from the past. Either way it's better than HTC.

Samsung could work for you, but I haven't heard many good things about the Galaxy phones. The ones I tested were nice, but not compelling.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
How exactly is it a defective device if you drop it? If you wanted a shockresistant phone that can handle drops like that, buy a phone that is designed for that and not a smartphone. Dont blame the makers if you're the one not being careful with your phone.

And no, the Arc is not the product of all the complaints. First of all, their statement that they went wrong with X10, was that they OVERESTIMATED the lifetime of a smartphone. X10 got less than a year worth of updates, Arc is getting even less and a major complaint about the X10 is exactly that it's a short supportperiod. A second major complaint about the X10 is the bootloader not being open, which is also not solved in any way or form. The Arc is just as locked as the X10 for that. Other major complaints is that Mediascape and Timescape simply suck, well what do you know, they're both still there, even if mediascape has changed into being more of a widget frontend for the native player, Timescape hasnt really changed any. So please, do tell... Which complaints have they ACTUALLY listened to with the Arc?
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Knowone is really going to know until the Arc has been released and used for a few months tbh no point in talking about any of this, SE are not the best to deal with any way shape or form im sure that wont change as for the device knowone really knows yet
[XPERIA X10 General] zipolly:
I had similar problems and i ended up getting a samsung galaxy s and havent looked back , im running darkys v9 and its unbelievably fast and slick , it does everything i need it to and has never skipped a beat i have had no issues at all with it , the gps is fast and reliable the screen is gorgeous and sound quality with music and during calls is excellent .... looking forward to the new galaxys coming soon with 4.3 screen and 4g as my contract runs out in may :)
[XPERIA X10 General] zipolly:
The major complaint as far as im concerned and from many others is the sound quality and low volume ! also the general user interface was poor as well and im not looking for an argument im quite simply stating a fact and an opinion .
[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
With a Community like this I don't give a fcuk about updates. I just want the best looking body and fill it with xda dev stuff, most of the time the devs here are doing a better job than most manufacturers so I will go for the arc as soon it hits the market and be very active at the arc section of this great forum. I an now running 2 2 with a great theme. Phone is fast and stable. I don't need se but I need a good looking phone: arc
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
+1 I am doing the same thing :) And i hope all the current devs and long time committed users of the x10 wich have been here since the begining do the same. I really like the community here except all the ones that just complain about SE and the X10 otherwise we are a very strong family here :) I use to be very active on here but now i just sit and watch every day without too many comments since it gets frustrating but i also plan on to be very active when i get the arc. I have alot of plans for support since i have learned alot from the current devs and modders - flashing rooting theming etc. And i believe with the Arc we can make a huge strong community.
[XPERIA X10 General] JaredP:
It is defective when such a small drop can shatter it. My SE W580i took some really bad falls and never broke. The original iphone did the same. Neither had a case. They were just well built.

The fragility of the HTC Aria is as well documented as the iPhone 4 fragility. I'm surprised people aren't aware of it.

As for the Arc, it is no coincidence that it has everything that was missing from the X10. Nearly every major complaint was addressed in the new model.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
OK they are sending me a new X10 tomorrow not new phone unless this one ends up faulty aswell. 3rd time lucky i hope! ive had both the x10 common faults 1st one was the usb connector in the first month lol
[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
+1 lol

The only feature I want from a phone that my x10 doesnt do is Flash... soon as the devs sort out the camera on the froyo roms I'll install one. If I didn't take a lot of pictures I'd have done it already!

Edit- I dropped my x10 about 4 feet and the screen hit the sharp edge of a metal trolley, got a crack but it didn't smash. My previous se phones have all had similar drops and apart from my w880 which I nearly snapped in half there's been no drastic damage to any of them. Se make good, solid phones.

The w880 still works, I used it to format an encrypted memory card back to fat32 last weekend ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
orange UK will not replace a mobile for another model unless youve had 3 identical errors with a current one

watch them though i rang up before with a 3rd system lockup one a samsung omnia and i got told one of the faults was a keypad fault
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Hopefully this one will be OK anyway, they were actually really helpful with it all, more so than sony, and phones4u. Surprised they would do it at all since the phones from phones4u, I had an omnia before this, was good winmo phone just a shame about the resistive touchscreen
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
yeah the covering to it was too flexible and rendered itself unable to be calibrated

orange tech support recomend i use a cocktail stick and blue tack i recomended the give me a touch hd

lol I ended up using a needle, then bought a new 're-designed' digitizer and it was 100 times better, also with pre configured roms over at modaco and here. Apparently they had changed the digitizer at some point
[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
Lol my omnia went back to the shop twice for repair and had to be replaced once on top of that. Can't fault Vodafone UK's service, but that's why I went for the x10 and not a Galaxy.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
hmm no sign of the replacement yet lol got 1hr 45min til the slot closes lol
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
new x10 came all shiny and no reboots yet lol, its not liking xrecovery though for some reason! just hanging on the sony ericsson writing when hitting back hmm
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
if you just want to mod your phone, i would go for htc or something else but definately not SE since they lock the bootloader and its very hard to crack. i think the arc will have a big community here but your options and mods are going to be very limited for the first couple centurys until they finally crack the bootloader :P
[XPERIA X10 General] coloboxp:
im going tomorrow for my x10, it went 3 weeks into service because the same problems you have
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
The new one seems to be alot better and not as hot, although the last one was the same when i first got it until one day it cut out during gps then started getting unusable. But from what I was hearing from sony I think there is changes in the later handsets manufacturing, same hardware though so hopefully should be ok. Or its going back again! Wont be using any cases with this read they could be keeping the heat in
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not to start up this conversation again, but SE has fulfilled their obligation regarding the x10. They never said it would be updated beyond 2.1, they gave us multitouch after selling it as not capable due to hardware issues, and they are still pumping out updates. For those of you who think we are entitled to 2.2+, do you realize it took 8 months of additional development for SE to fit 2.1 for the X10? So assume it would take that long and as many resources for another OS update. It's not like it was a yes or no decision.

Lucky me!!!

They gave me back the X10 "fixed", then after 5 minutes it started to restart again!!!

The good part is that they didnt have the X10 in stock so they gave me the Galaxy S!!! xD

Now im writing from it, running android 2.2.1 and with multitouch!

yes u need to create a goldcard, it's really simple follow the guide provided, because your phone will arrive with a 1.72 o .75 baseband version. And till now, goldcard option, is the only way to downgrade to 1.32. Maybe in the next days there will be something new as a new version of visionary+.

Maybe mine is different as I got mine through carphonewarehouse, in fact most likely it was different, but I had no need for a goldcard. Best of luck.

Download one of the stock Roms, not 1.15.405.1 and just connect your USB and run it, few next button clicks, wait for few min and you’re done!

I used 1.32.405.6 to debrand my vodafone phone so later on if i want to root it i can. you cant with 1.72.405.3

I spent days goggling and searching on the forum on how to remove Vodafone branded rubbish from my DHD, people saying only way is to root it bla bla bla.

After i was half way through rooting my phone got to the point of making goldcard and it took hours to get to that point reading up on rooting (still don’t understand most of it) and because of not so great step by step guide and android updating their sdk that screwed up the step by step info.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I know,that I flashed mine as soon as the NAND lock was cracked, but my advice would be to play around with it for a few days before and make sure that you want it rooting and more importantly whether you like / want Sense, it's a great device and would be a shame to waste the opportunity to get to know it in it's virgin state first, but a good start would be to read up here
