Hey guys ...i have got some gud news for u all....X2 may be launched on may 28 ,2009..
check this link out
http://209.85.153.132/translate_c?h...le.com&usg=ALkJrhjpB0njc94QB5x0na_gZKc-oa2Yqg
if it really gets announced on may 28 hopefully it gets released end of the yr when my contract ends. then ill hv another phone to consider aside from Idou.
wow.. i am waiting for idou and x2..
I'm very sceptical..
Sony Ericsson is losing a lot of money and the X1 wasn't really a bestseller :/
saw this and made a thread a while back.
its the annoucement on the 28th of may, dont think any phones will be released on that date.
they are sure to show the x2 and idou (these are near definate) + some other phones / phone related stuff
oh god.. I spent tons of money on my X1 already.
I sure hope the X2 has big improvements..
eg. Casing, AMOLED sceen <- WOOO lol, nvidia tegra?, improved cpu speed, HD video recording, 5mp camera, RAM is quite good, but more wouldn't hurt . Last but not least, better speakers!
yeah, quite a wishlist there lol
WOOW ITS NICE TO HERE FROM NEW SERIES OF XPERIA AFTER THE FUSS ABOUT SONY'S MISTAKE (i realy didn't belived it myself) but i'am
pretty sure that it wont be availble till 4'th quarter of the 2010 , i waited for x1 about 8 months to be released and bought it the day it released in uk. if anyone has seen any image leaked please post its still good to know how the phone looks like
I do not believe it. It would be good, but I don't think they will make the announcement so soon.
Aino, Yari and Satio (Idou) was released today.
And like I said last week, no X2.
yummy yummy phones
I guess no X2 today....

Wow... Aino looks good... with numeric keypaid...
It's may 28... rumors blow...
Aino looks good but it seems like we miss out on the x2
i read on esato forums that theres one more unannounced model. could be the new xperia...
dunno when but i definitely got my eye on Satio to replace my X1 come end of the yr.
The X1 is lacking on the software side, not hardware. How is coming out with a new X2 going to solve the X1 deficiencies? We don't even get proper updates to the X1.
I hope SE sits on the X2 for a while and get it right instead of rushing out another unfinished phone like they did with X1. IOW, hold the X2 until WM7 hits.
Fark WM! I say go S60, and see some success come back to Sony Ericsson.

Not only is WinMo better, but Xperia was the first phone that SE made that didn't have a crappy average joe loser interface.
Seriously their phones are like using phones from 2005 and earlier.
Xperia is their window to advancement.
WinMob is much better then Nokia's Symbian (SimByan?) and Android and Linux Mobile and BREW. It's so easy to make applications for WM...
But more important I know excatly what a desperate feature I need in X2!
It's just a little hole in the battery cover to make SoftResets without removing the cover!
I'm thinking to drill a hole in X1 for myself.
It's a long story on why I sold off my X1. So I'm not going to bore you with the reason/story.
It was a great phone, probably one of the better ones in all the phones I own in the last few years (TouchPro, i780, Q9h, Treo500v, Dopod720, etc) but unfortunately I was disappointed and frustrated by Sony Ericsson's after sales service.
I was so fed up that I make the ultimatum earlier this week. I went ahead to buy Touch HD, a day before Touch Pro 2 was launched in my country. Nevertheless, it was a great phone, after I flashed Dutty's ROM (the first ROM customisation I had since my iPAQ days), and considering that it does not have keyboard, I'm happy for now (as I had always put keyboard as one of the key requirements when I scout for new phones)
So it's adious to Sony Ericsson. The new X2 looks promising, but I'm wary of SE's over-promise, under delivery, not in terms of product, but in terms of customer experience. I'm not sure if I would give X2 a chance when it arrives on our shore, maybe my geek personality would give in again but I'm not sure now. As for now, all my works regarding X1, e.g. Youtube, Navigator Panel, is now officially stopped, although unofficially, as you would probably have known, I have not done much in the last few months.
Bye!
Hope you will enjoy the new phone as much as you did with the X1. The Touch HD is also a cracking device so I'm sure you won't look back
Fortunately for me my phone's built is solid and have never had to use SE's after sale (touching wood!) and just flashed to Valkyrie's latest 6.5 ROM and I can't be happier.

Sorry to hear you're selling the X1. I don't post much, but I really appreciate your work.
As for the X2, I tend to think that SE will concentrate on better customer service because this time HTC will not be making the device for them. But of course we may lose a lot of the XDA forum support.
Please reconsider! The X2 looks like it will be an awesome device. A lot of people are complaining about the looks, but that's human nature, and the pics are far from definitive. The specs will be incredible. Can't wait for that OLED screen.

Off topic, but they said it'll be the [stupid] AM-OLED and not the OLED we've all been waiting for.
OLED has great visibility in sunny conditions while AMOLED's disadvantage is the visibility under the sun (you can't read the screen under the sun, just like the LCD of the X1) but it has a longer lifetime than classic OLEDs. So, no, there's not much to wait for the X2.

perhaps you have not played enough. stock HD couldn't match with stock Xperia. but the latest Dutty ROM with Rhodium package just rocks.

well, SE claims that we will have better customer experience, part of the Xperiance pitch, when they launched X1. They under delivered so I'm not sure if I'm going to believe them again when X2 is out.
That said, it's not that HTC is any better, if only they outsource their support to XDA, or maybe they already have, thus the poor service level
check this out:
http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2009/bert-letter-en.shtml
its real ,and he hits the week points of SE
"Real innovations have been substituted by dreams. As a consumer I'm offered rapidly aging and overpriced phones that have no future on the market under the guise of 'state-of-the-art solutions'. Another manifestation of the company's dishonesty was when Sony Ericsson tried to persuade me via weak PR and advertising that these were marvelous products."
end quote.
Well, this guy is nailing it! Spot on! Dishonesty is the right word. Persuasion and promises without any real world backing.
"oh looky looky the X1 with the AMAZING panels that are going to change your everyday live" - oh yeah, it's one year after that and there are a handful of them. I haven't used any of them in months.
"oh looky looky the X2 is simply amazing cutting edge device with the fantastic tile panel" - oh yeah, very amazing with the pathetic old hardware and the annoying panel that is nothing more than a gimmick and is impossible to use on a daily basis.
Haha...
Damn!! This guy's got it spot on!
@nevermind: What was that u said, SE won't be phased if they loose me as a customer? Reality check, u guys are loosing it.
Imagine a current X1 user upgrading to a X2 and realising a couple of hours down the line that he just bought a re-glorified plastic encased X1 with an 8mp camera. lol
I really digged SE but as of late I've, and apparently more SE fanbois really felt as if though we've been cheated with the X1.
So, whatcha gonna do?
With have been cheated with the X2 not X1. Also, nevermind =/= SE.
the thing is how much we are annoyed with the x2, there is not any good phones coming for wm in the foreseeable future and the more i look the more i thing the x2 is the best looking most functional (with its keyboard) and although it lacks the cpu of some devices like the htc leo, the htc devices are so ugly i would never buy it.
it seems that if i get a x2 as a free replacement for my x1 i will be happy but if i dont i am happy to keep my x1 for now as the rest of the wm phones are not as good overall.
i dont really see the need for wm6.5 on the x1 as i have used both and dont think 6.5 is that much better but a r4 firmware update with the new drivers would be nice (although mine x1 is now tuned to be super fast and smooth apart from some games and videos).

Keep your X1, I wouldn't bother with X2. I find it a little insulting (at least if the reports of its pricing are true).

it obviously was a sneer to SE. Not real! but seriously, if they really called it x1.5 , i would consider buying it, because it'll probably be the only phone to have such a model name/number. And perhaps, x2 is not worth the x2 name, because of the minor improvements over x1. But..... x1.5 was just a joke, c'mon...
I spent a few years with SE's UIQ phones, and a similar thing happened there. Since Sony Ericsson WAS in practice UIQ (apart from one Motorola I think), not only did they terminally underspec the UIQ terminals, they actually killed the UIQ interface, which was a real shame, since it was a very stable and efficient phone OS.
Déjà vu...
If you look at the UIQ forum on my-symbian.com, you will see similar complaints, letters published to CEOs etc. There must be some serious disconnects in SE for this to happen with their flagship range(s).
It's called greed. Also, providing as little as possible and pricing it like a NASA prototype...
...and the poster with the 1.5 was OBVIOUSLY joking...
I hope sony respond positivley to this letter and turn their act around
When has an Internet campaign lead to anything? All these letters, petitions and campaigns are utterly pointless.
The only exception is the bringing back of Jericho, but is just the exception that proves the general rule. Plus, they annoyed the TV execs with the real world sending of nuts and other stuff. Maybe we should send something to SE. Hm... something smelly perhaps?

Do you guys really believe they will ever exchange a broken x1 for an x2? I highly doubt it. I would love to get a x2 that way but i think it will never happen.

Well maybe they will, if the x1's keep falling appart or have other weird issue's like mines that turns blue'ish when sliding open.. the screen cable gets a bit loosy when i slide it open. ( its already been in repairs once for that issue but back then it went off instead of turning blue.. )

Facebook is pretty huge, Even SE has fan pages on there.
What better way to get them to pay attention than setting up a "not a big fan" page?
So please, everyone please join this group. The more people we get, the more they will pay attention.
Thanks to René for setting it up.

Joined, thanks!!!
I signed up to this forum only to express my disappointment towards SE and joined the group of unhappy X2 owners. Thanks everyone who has posted the topics about the problems with X2 so I know that I'm not the only one who felt cheated. We paid the premium price for the phone and I don't mind minor bugs but how do I suppose to rely on this device if it keeps shutting itself down for no reason whatsever after it enters the standby....
Yesterday I reached my phone to take a picture of my friends and found my phone dead... nothing more embarrassing than having to remove the battery, inserted again, asked friends to wait until this piece of crap boots up and ready to take pic.. in.. well.. .4 minutes later????
Wait. Don't forget me. I'm coming.
Spread the word, the faster we get more people the quicker we can get some sort of response from SE.
They have not bothered to even respond to the complaints in their fan page... tsk tsk!
me are disappointed with X2. Signed up in facebook group.
LOL some of you like the X1. If the X2 is better than the X1, why hate it?

What?!
I love X1, it's fast and stable.
I would love X2 because it's really great,
but you just cannot use it properly because the device makes
it impossible bacuse of freezes.
Clear?
so, what's the difference to the x1 then?
you can't even say the x2 has better build quality yet - it's too early.
apart from that it looks like SE is playing the same game again: "who? what? oh, i see. we already have your money. sorry, you're on your own now. come back when we sell you our next flagship and have a nice day!"
If we had Custom X1 stability and ability in an X2 shell, it would be a perfect world

There is no difference. It is the same device. That's why I am not buying it.
There is still not a single device on the market that has the features of the X1 (keyboard, d-pad, optical mouse, winmo, softbuttons, style and looks and much more). The ones with powerful processors lack some of the features I mentioned and with the heavy customization most of us have done, my X1 can match or even perform better than brand new devices. Nuff said.
yeah, it's the same device. most important thing they've got in common is that they're from SE - which is dead for all time for me when it comes to smartphones. the x1-experience has been enough (drivers, software-support)
(apart from that my x1 is fine, i'm even SoD-free for 3 weeks now... )
you're right about the features though... it's strange that all the "big" phones, no matter what OS, nowadays lack a hw-keyboard. well, i'll find out when i get my desire - maybe soft-kb on a big screen really pleases all needs?

Personally I think it is someone being stupid. Like a little 12 your old virgin with nothing better to do.
Why would Aaron be working on a Sunday?
mtechfan, yes, it something like this but it was funny that SE haven't made normal registration/authorization system in their blog.
I have an opportunity to sell my x10 and make a significant profit on what I paid, but If i do sell it, would it be worth getting a milestone etc.
Anyways, if you could trade your x10 for any phone what phone would it be?
Another x10
Probably get an iphone.. sad I know.. but it works.. and the industry that's built up around it means that you've got a spectacular array of accessories to chose from.
EDIT... Actually just need to say.. I wouldn't swap mine either!
x10 with 2.1 or just x10
i'd go with nexus one
I love my X10 Will buy again X10 with 3600-Battery
yh i cancelled it, i love my x10 too much lol
iwill get x10 but after the root

Very Good
I'd stick with my X10, it is just too beautiful !
My friend has a Nexus ONE and he is jealous, we did some side-by-side tests and the X10 performed better in every situation. Although as he correctly pointed out, is it worth the price difference ??? I think it is !
I wouldn't trade my X10.
I like the device now and I only see it improving with new firmware upgrades.
I do realize, as a long time SE consumer, that these upgrades will be few in number and the phone will be abandoned within a year but that's the rule of business.
Well, there are no phones on the market now worth switching with X10
But, if Motorola decides to make Motoroi available for other markets, not only Koreea, i guess i will swap it with a Motoroi.
Other way, i will buy the Galaxy S and keep both phones

+1.
I have it for 3 days now. If I would like another one I would buy it at the first place. For me it's the best at the moment. I love it.
Evo 4g looks sweet
i think i'd keep it, but if i had to swap it would be for the desire. my girlfriend has one and the battery life on that is a hell of a lot better!
Choose a DESIRE or LEGEND.
DON´T HESITATE!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried today both. Man the difference is without words. There are GALAXIES between.
1. Trackball (IMPORTANT, can´t live without, as i come from X1!!!!!!!!)
2. MT
3. Sense
4. Screen
What i like most is the UI of the HTC´s. Just look @ the Dialer, that says everything. (Smart Dial and so on.....)
Although i have to say that the Design of HW and SW is amazing @ X10. HTC has here to do A LOT! But thats it @X10. I USE my phone, NOT watch it....
Will sell my X10....
Personally I find the Desire so unattractive visually that I wouldn't want to use it despite the stellar job done by HTC on Sense UI, and the appealing AMOLED technology display. I don't understand the kind of customer HTC was trying to appeal to when creating the design of Desire and the Nexus One as well. These handsets remind me of a shoe's sole.
Sense is boring.
HTC's AMOLED sux in sunlight while X10's display is amazing.
Trackball... just another point of failure... 3 hardware buttons are not enough??
MT ... well, if you are a gamer but i'm not and i prefer to use my phone with one hand
Did i mention Desire is super ugly?

Yeah, I had a very bad impression of its appearance while playing with the handset a local shop. It looks absolutely terrible. I don't understand who HTC has hired to design their Android handsets? What's with the brown color and the strange, overly oval shapes?
I Sold my Desire last week, and got an X10, the desire was a much better phone, software wise, but design factor wise the X10 is so so much better.
The Desire was boring to look at, in my opinion and to me thats important.
Thats the only reason I sold it. Sense is better, the screen is so much more sensitive, but... was completely unusable in sunlight.
The only phone I would like now is the Evo, but it wont work in the UK, so I can stop dreaming.
