since it has similar specs as the htc hd2 and they have the same screen size, would it be possible to finaly get a working android 2.1 system on htc hd 2? i kno its a bit off topic but its related to the upcoming htc EVO, and the big resemblence between the ones mentioned before...
I hope so
..
I'm not a developer but i think it wil be much simpler to port the android on the hd2 now with the evo coming out.. from what ive heard the biggest problem they had with porting the android on hd2 was the resolution. So since they both have the same screen size and the hardware is similar(htc evo being an hd2 on steroids) i don't see any problems. If a dev could give his opinion, it would be much apreciated...
I hope it will be possible. I cant be doing with the amount of people *****ing about WP7s not coming to the HD2.
And droid blows anything microsoft have made away (in my opinon anywho).
Would the fact that the EVO is only out to the US market effect it being ported to worldwide HD2's?
As in will it still work in the EU?
I hope some chefs get on this fast...
HD2 with droid would be perfect.
wp7 is going in the iphone feel direction..not realy a fan of the iphone.. but i hav to admit the games that they will put out is makin wp7 sound a bit sweeter but it cant compare to the android...i heard that they will have a eu vers aswell wich is gn be similar to the us evo. what can i say ... it gives us, hd2 owners, a bit of hope..lets just keep our fingers crossed..
if they can get it on a touch pro 2 they might be able

If some devs vouch that it can be done then I will get the HD2! I need to know as well. Wirefly has it for 99.999 w contract!
..
i have the htc hd2..its just briliant...and i have no doubts that before sept we will have a working android and this beautiful piece of technology..if not im gn upgrade to an hd3 in nov
Android 4G device will rule !!!
Android is making the open source community proud. I mean the specs on this 4G Android phone is amazing check my video on it youtube my user name is AndroidAdvocate.
Hi
after HTC announce today the Desire Hd
so I think a lot of X10 users start think to go to Desire HD and leave X10 (my baby) after this show from SE to let us wait 6 months to get old version for the OS. me every day in my twitter and XDA waiting for any good news for the update
so I am start think to change my X10 and go to HTC Desire HD
so how many X10 users start think to change The X10
No, X10 Forever
1- Because in canada, no phones beat 4inch display
2- Because update is coming in 1 or 2 weeks
3- Becuase x10 is the perfect size, Desire HD is just tooo big in my opinion
I just bought mine, it's pretty good phone but it got to many problems.
I don't care that much about what version of android it runs. Actually all i care about is arabic support in upcoming android 2.1 update, if they add arabic support i can go on with 2.1.
I guess if they didn't this phone will be my last SE phone and i'll go with HTC.
so i guess everyone will wait the update and then make a decision.
P.S. I also guess they will announce if X10 will ever get Froyo after this update.
Ive been thinking of changing for a few weeks, Sony have really dropped the ball with this phone in my honest opinion.
Im hoping they can recover for their sakes but ill never get another SE and ill advise my friends the same.
My friend just got his upgrade and was going to get the X10 told him not to so he got the Samsung Galaxy S and im so jealous....
Samsung Galaxy S is no better either, i would recommend HTC all the way.
The Desire Z is just perfect( Small size, keyboard )
Me i am looking for Arabic support
But unfortunately no arabic font officially from SE now or in the new update

I sold my X10 a few weeks ago and I'm glad I made the decision to leave SE. I have the Nokia N8 on pre order and I May just get my N8 before X10 gets 2.1.
Lol...good luck with a Nokia.
The desire HD is gorgeous, has 768mb ram too + 1.5gb internal storage, plus MT
My x10 is already gone, got a wildfire to tide me over till i decide betweeen a samsung p1000 tablet or a desire HD.

I saw a blog posting that more languages will be added to X10 in November, let's just hope arabic will be among these languages cuz if they didn't and they didn't upgrade the phone beyond 2.1, OMG this will be horrible
no, not planing to throw another 500 euros on new phone... like Steve Jobs allegedly said " it's just a phone "
yeah im gonna chage to desire HD
For what carrier is this phone coming to in the US?
No. Outside the boundaries of Japan, no other smartphone looks as good as the Xperia.

Hmmmm I really like the looks of this desire hd....and I really love my x10....if it comes to canada ill be watching it closely that's for sure.

The new Desire looks really interesting especially considering that it uses a proper screen instead of the crappy AMOLED of it's predecessor. But since my X10 is fairly new I'm still hoping the bootloader will be cracked soon. The Desire has more RAM while the X10 has a "better" 16:9 screen format.
It has a newer OS which is interesting but other than that I'd say the X10 is pretty equal. If I was in the market for a new phone today I'd definitely consider it.
I was reading about it in Engadget and they said" its an EVO for the rest of the world"
I did own HTC HD2 which was windows mobile phone but now they have ported Android 2.2 on it. Software was a problem but not that much. Phone has no design what so ever, and EVO even worse. They are "just another phone" to me and I will die with my Xperia before moving to another HTC unless they really work on their design.
SE has good hardware design and crappy Software design.
HTC is good in software and crappy in look of the hardware.
But after owning three SE Xperia since X1 -> X2 -> X10 now and all the problems I have been facing I still would rather stay with them unless I find a better looking phone.
Our developers are promising here and I enjoy watching them work ON something I love which is my phone.
You will never go all the way with one phone to all the available OS versions, and you will end up changing your phone sooner or later. This is what their plan designed for so enjoy your phone while you can.
I will go for desire because i felt like cheated by sony, no multi-touch,low call volume problem long time wait for 2.1 ( still only getting 2.1 after six months ) so desire is the best choice ( VALUE FOR MONEY ). GO FOR DESIRE TRUST ME
me too!
i can't wait any longer!
other phones has 2.2
After being heard about such an awful official announcement made by such a trusted company like SE, we, all the SE customers for decades have broke trust on SE for its cheap marketting tricks and don't-give-a-damm-to-the-customers attitude of SE. So, I hope this thread can show the newbies how cunning SE can be and how their valuable toys can effect with SE's poor support to the customers. Despite being state-of-the-art technology used in X10 Arc, I wanna know how many wounded SE customers want to ditch SE here on because atleast this thread should help the potential buyers of X10 Arc in deciding whether to go for X10 Arc or save themselves from being a victim of SE once again.
So, Guys if you are one of those victims of X10/X10mini/X8 .etc , Let us show SE how much its poor decision can cost, Show them how many of us will ditch SE here on.
I'm gonna ditch SE for Apple. Apple iphone 3g despite being 3 years old , It has received all the support for so long until the hardware limits were reached , This is what called True software support. I really admire apple for this dedication to customer's satisfaction and I'm thinking to ditch SE for Apple. My next phone will be iPhone 5 without any doubts!
samsung infussssssssssssssssssssse
Ok. Bye bye. We'll have 1 less whiner to complain from now on =)

ok these threads are starting to become really stupid, if you dont like the fact that the bootloader hasnt been cracked yet, well big damn deal, you spent your money, maybe next time thats a lesson learned to do more research and be patient! besides how really important is it to you? regardless if the bootloader has been cracked or not, it wont over power the new devices coming out every 3-6 months
the SE Arc is awesome but still ... after what happened with the x10 i don't think i'm going back and buy another SE trash . i've been a fan of se since K800

SE dont care abt X10 now as ARC is released, in future they wont care abt ARC when some new model DOME will be out
the irony of someone saying they are leaving SE because the bootloader is not cracked and the going on to say how awesome iFones are has made my day. i have not laughed so hard in quite a while!!
cya, enjoy being able to install whatever you want on your ifone....oh wait

by the way, Samsung is planning to bring the bootloader to their devices now
This will in no way affect the masses, us forum creepers and geeks is hardly noticable in their sales statistic, i will probably get a SE again only becouse they make the absolute most beutiful phones, the most stable software and judging from their word about the Arc they really did listen all the critisism!

Coming from a 3g, I followed, bought at launch and then eventually sold the X10 4 months after purchasing.
It was such a shame as the design and build were solid. I ended up trading it in for a desire and now I have a dhd.
I check back in with this forum from time to time, and realise that selling the x10 was the right decision (for me at least) , as both desire and dhd are able to run both 2.2 and 2.3(unofficially). They also have the features that we were told the x10 was to get but never did. However I still find them ugly by comparison.
The arc does look like an impressive piece of kit, but so do LG and Moto's 2011offerings. Also with the developments planned for android this year, I'm not sure if I want to be burned again by SE.
Their OS update offerings were not well timed!
Closing this thread as its completely pointless
As we all know , Xperia family have new members added and people all over are excited to update X10 ( .. Simply the BEST XPERIA) to the other new Xperia members..
I dont think Xperia X10 is even old .. its stupid alwayz fighing for 2.2 or 2.3 bla..bla roms... Our Xperia works much better with only lil mods even to its factory f/w.
We all take X10 as granted.. BUT TRUST ME ITS NOT...
So, support the voting for X10.. Mine goes the 1st!!
M huge fan of mine Xperia X10 Luster White.. I Just Love It!
Love ur Xperia's!!
-It doesn't even have 1 year since its release.
-It has better specs. than some new smartphones that cost more.
-We'll get a stable Froyo/Gingerbread ROM working at 100% soon, no matter if SE decides not updating it anymore.
-The bootloader is really hard to crack but that doesn't mean is impossible to do it.
-16 M colors would be the only missing feature to make this phone a complete masterpiece. We already got all the basics and we'll go for mere once we have full access to it.
Then, you know what I voted.
I'm going to be honest here, usually I buy a new phone every 6 months or sometimes less.
With the X10 . It is the first time I stick with a phone for almost a hear ( since April ) , using stock SE firmware with JIT and I'm enjoying it
I believe it still got life against new products with dualcore

change phone once a year xD last one was an x1 took me less than a year to get an x10
in june i will have a year with it so might change it to an arc or any htc
Lmfao.. jst changing the phone as It is 1 yr old is the stupidest excuse coz i dnt think $500+ phone does owe this excuse to get changed.. lol still need more votes..!
hmmm depends on the person
I throw my x1 (paid around 800 dlls for it) in less than 1 year
x10 will be "dumped" in few months (unless i move to another country cause it's sim unlocked) and it was around 650 dlls
pretty much depends on the person, if has money to "waste" and phone likes
for me it's great and it's the first time that i use one phone in 8 months and the new handsets i really didn't saw the differences ....all things needed is imported with x10 even the games working great
Well X8's Golden Era is pretty much over.
What were your highlights?
My X8 was and is a dear companion, I love.
But now with no more development (little development) to be done we are at the end of the road, ready to part company move on to new devices unless you already have moved on.
You're kinda right, I must agree. More powerful OS's have come which the X8 can't fully handle but I liked this "journey" as I met the world of Android. Now I am a new dev, I've made some clocks and I will definitely keep up with it and get further. I loved the thrills of the first root moments and the other hacking stuff etc., making X8 better and better with new ROMs and mods, making it beautiful with lots and lots of themes but... X8 has gotten kinda old.
I'll buy a Galaxy Nexus when it's out or a Samsung Galaxy S II but I will never forget my X8... It was truly inspirational for me...
Noo don´t say that, i`ve just bought my X8 30 days ago.
I have my X8 for almost a whole year and its so good and i hope that it will survive next year too

You will see that X8 fans development won't stop so fast
Yeah... you're right. I'm not selling away my X8. I'm gonna keep it. You know... This "journey" you said, Chris. It really brought us to the world of android. I'll buy a samsung galaxy s plus maybe. But I'll wait for a day when we'll laugh and get a fully working 2.3. Gonna miss you guys.
In my opinion, X8 is an outdated phone since the first day it launched. Although it was Android 1.6 and updated to 2.1, but it should be a 2.1 phone in that period. After that SE is never update it anymore except the small patchs.
I never saw a phone in my country drop 30-40% in price after 3-4months. The trade-in valve even less than Nokia 5800 Music Express. If you ask me why I bought this phone, it is because it was the best and cheapest phone around that period. If i know it will drop that much in so short time, i will wait for it.
But anyway, XDA and their developers made my phone worth to use. I am not going to buy/sell any phone in another year, although X8 has no better hardware compare to now, but still is a good phone for daily use and small games/apps. A phone can call, sms and surfing net is enough for me. The only bad thing is the small screen, if X8 had 3.5-4", it definitely a better phone for me to use in next year.
Finally, the only thing i hope for X8 is the ICS. It maybe cannot fulfill, but it is the last thing to hope for. After that, i guess we will change our phone for 2years later.
This is the phone that introduce me to the amazing world of Android.
My 1st Android phone and won't be the last.
don't say thaatt~
i love my x8, my first android phone..................
yeah it has been a year too for me too using x8 but i am happy that i didnt buy that outdated symbian phones xda has done many things to our phone
i just hoped that i will get app2sd for my phone thats all but see now we have fully devloped gb rom and if we are lucky probably ics too thanks to great devlopers like doixanx,ratch,gravier(you saved me twice with your flash tool) and all the other great devlopers
even if I buy a new phone I would still love my X8 ...but only if it still alive
Nothing can replace laughing my arse out when people with their fancy htcs had much more problems and lags than me...
Ofc they weren't rooted...

X8 will never die... my first android phone...
My first android phone x16746798
Why I bought it? No I didnt it was a gift..First impresion not so good, compare to the other phones disaster. Then Columbo discovered xda forum and rooting then it was amazing transformation (new and beter custom rooms, multitouch, app2sd, fully working flash player...)
For this price there is no beter phone.
Now it's time to choose, which rom to use...
ahhh...
man, i could probaly see my phones life flashing through its eyes (its still alive dont worry i have 12 more months with this since its a contract im on.)
this phone has had its glory and now os moves on to ultimate stages where our x8 will not be able to compete in. i love my x8, its the first android iv ever had. my dad has an x10 mini so i got the insparation of an x8 from him but how our phone is obsolete. i will Always love my x8 but when my contract is over i will probaly het a xperia play or htc pr something like that
Its been a wonderful journey, but for me. I think my phone can last a few more months and that's it. Thanks to doixanh our phone is better than I could've ever imagened. 6 months ago, I never knew that I'd be running android 2.3.7 on my x8.
I love you SE,
but I hate the updates. You should hire. Doixanh.
Xperia 8 - Rooted - GINGERDX v018
yea x8 was a good phone but had it's grips for me MT was it !! (was a synaptic user)
so i just gave it to my brother and got myself a new handset and comparing it to the x8 it's a BLAST !
Well, yeah... X8 was my first android phone. I learn a lot, but there's still a lot of people here in M'sia using X8. because it's cheap. You can get it at around RM 400 (Around 129 USD).
Pretty nice smartphone. When it was announced, one year ago, I was thinking on getting it as soon as I could. But instead of it I got the Xperia X10, wich I don't have anymore...
So, I got X8 until now. I bought it last saturday, I got it in black with an extra case, black & cherry. It's a really good phone, small but cool, and with a Gingerbread ROM (GingerDX) I made it even better.
However, Im looking forward. If on December things go as I expect, I'd get Xperia Neo or Arc and give this master piece to my girlfriend, who needs a good phone. In case that I can't get one of those two, I'd stick with my X8 until next year when the new Sony Ericsson smartphones come out ("Nozomi", perhaps?)
