hi
I lost my se x10 and need a new phone!
Are you guys happy with the galaxu s??
OK this is the deal, it's great hardware mixed with some crap software. It takes some extra effort to get it running right and then you will be waiting for september to hopefully get new gps drivers because it sucks right now. If you are in the US you have some other options like the EVO or the new Droid, in the EU it will be hard to find anything as good as the sgs until the Desire HD comes out.
Hope that helps.

how is android 2.1 crap?
The gps issue sounds like its affecting many (most?) Units but mine us working great. Its nearly as accurate as my handheld gamin which is a great unit.
I'm happy with the phone as is my wife who thought she'd be with apple to the grave.

Lol i have also moved from the x10, and i have to agree with you the sgs is an excellent phone.
if you live in the UK or some where not Canada, Africa, or USA, then you might end up with a bad GPS coverage, because you got too many Satellite choices to lock on to.
if you live in Canada, USA, or Africa, then it works perfectly
Great hardware with crap software...hmmm...sounds like the X10, not the GS! I am so glad that I sold my X10.

Welcome to our family!
I am also lost my X10.
I bought my SGS last month when it launched here(india).
I love very much my SGS. For all issues told by others about SGS we can find answers/fixes in this forum.
Community shows somw good strength........
Thanks for the developers.
I strongly recommend SGS.

I sold my iPhone 3GS, and was wanting to buy a Xperia X10, SGS or iPhone 4.
I bought the SGS and now I can say that is the best phone I could had!
Don't forget that Froyo is coming!
And next, the rumored Android 3.0. The SGS has the hardwares enought to run it.
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
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i keep my x10 and i would buya HTC desire HD and comparing the difference between the phones and select w/c is the best....
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.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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
Looks like all the QQ did some good. For x10 owners at least.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/¸
P.S. Probably has something to do with the x10 bootloader being bypassed and the good progress devs are having with loading custom kernels.
yes i think also SE is scared about loosing conrtol about there own devices. So they want to bind us again to themselfe.
Yeah,we already know that
nope we already got 2.3..through xda dev
Meh! Again we are left high and dry.We didn't get dual touch update either and now this too.
Why can't we get both x10 and x8 ,2.3, because SE doesn't have resources. And here we have J providing gingerbread to entire xperia series with help of some devs!
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Will you upgrade the XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and XperiaTM X8 to 2.3?
No, we have no such plans. We have had to prioritize our resources and have therefore focused on delivering the upgrade to XperiaTM X10.
Click to expand...

They have to prioritize their team to provide 2.3 for only X10. While most work to bring CM7 to X10/X10mini/X8 has been done by only 2 devs: jerpelea and racht. Such a shame to SE.
What a ****ty news, I feel like smashing my phone in S.E. face... hope no S.E. worker gets in my sight cause I am mad as hell! I mean come on, I was ok with the 2.1 on all current xperia line but this ? WTF is with this discrimination, F*** THEM!
Wait,xperia line was always updated together and new cerficated update was relased on 23 of march for x8.
Please sony update x8 and x10 minis too.
if they won't update x8 to 2.3 or 2.2, i won't buy another SE phone !!! never !!! and i think that i'm not the only one

I love my X8 but...
Don't get me wrong, I love my X8. However this is the first, and last, time I shall ever buy a Sony phone. I only bought mine last December, after a big Christmas marketing push by Vodafone here in Portugal. Imagine my dismay (and disgust!) to discover, after less than a month, that Sony already considered the phone obsolete before I'd even bought it :-(
Oh well. Live and learn I suppose (but it also makes me much less likely to buy anything Sony in the future...)
Rendering my x8 obsolete after only 4 months after seeing 1 proper update (1.6 --> 2.1)... not good.
Was planning to upgrade to Xperia Play, but I no longer trust SonyEricsson and have given up all plans of buying any of their products again.
That being said, XDA makes the x8 a very decent little phone. But still the XDA devs are fighting an up-hill struggle against the lockdowns imposed by SE. Thank you XDA, screw you SonyEricsson

on sonyericsson lauch blog writes no plain,not we will not upgrade x8 and minis just no plain
the real idea is to bypass bootloader so sony ericsson will update x8
Well mates, I think it's time to make some noise in SE blogs, this is not only a discrimination, this feels like your older brother was given by it's mother a bigger and better toy to play with, and we, the younger sons, can play with lego for eternity. Ah... This is a lack of respect, lack of sense, we do not only need that upgrade, we need recon. We are costumers, we spent our money buying the phones, we are SE future, our opinions and thoughts will count in next sales. We can't just be left behind, I know SE certified some firmwares recently, but, if they were thinking to upgrade us, they would have done it now at same time as X10.
Well it seems this is a way too give further security to bootloader, and remove kexec exploit. There's no downgrading after this. It's a terrible choice (my thought). So, we (x8,x10mini/pro owners) don't really need this upgrade since we have J & racht & so many great developers contributing, and I have so much to thank them for the hard work, precious time they take to do it, and for sharing it with XDA community, well I can say, with all users around the world. We are very near to reach total freedom.
Regards
That are not full working roms

Me too but worst is that their profit fall 20% from 2010 and they are so bad to custumers,realy and one more thing why they put so expensive phones in sale,x8 and minis will sell better with better support because they cheap but for 100 $ more i will buy htc wildfire.

Sony want this upgrade, and maybe this software update will also bring an bootloader upgrade, which will give us no chance of Xrecovery or Root, So, i stay with XDA

I know I'm simply repeating the news from portal section, but... for crying out loud... Now we know what device to buy once we get fed up with our SE phones
**** SE !!!HTC rulez! ! If thats true my next phone will.be htc of coarse . But ; can we get htc phone like x8 in the same price ? I buy new one for 120 euro can we get htc that have x8 features? In the same price?

No, we can't.
You're wrong. For example, wildfire, hero, G1, - all of this phones are better than X8 and are no so expensive (offcourse excluding G1). There running Android same like our phone.
That's only my opinion. I wanna sell my X8 and buy Hero...
@MrCzAjNiK : You are wrong, all those phones are inferior to X8 hardware wise, check them out on gsmarena.
i chat with se about x8 and they say no no no

Your session has ended. You may now close this window
of course sir.
Yep i do that everyday i bore them i ask useless questions about x8
next time ask them about gingerdx
and learn english for gods sake.
absolutely agree with the title, coz (i think) SE only care with arm7, just like X10 that already have their GB.
Now this is a kick in the nuts to our stock X8s...
http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/06/vodafone-smart-review/
i think SE made X8 in as medium smartphone with low price
to give our chance trying Android OS
so ... this why i'm pay X8
after we know what is android, we love it
then we ask for more
just forget SE..

come on xperia x8 user. rise up...and wake up. there will be no update for x8. even do you can install custom roms. but, it wouldn't do no good. cannot run with the current specs. i follow x8 for too long now and i already trade my x8 with samsung galaxy mini. its really worth it. yes, i admit the UI and phone is not that good, but the Android is too good to be true. imagine a low cost phone can run android 2.3.4 and have 284mb of RAM. trust me you wouldn't regret when you buy this phone.

Oh yeah, we "wouldn't regret" buying a phone that's like the x8 with more ram (and slightly more internal storage), but a smaller and crappier (256K) screen. Come on...
I know that sony won't update the X8. It's no use doing that to them, because they want to sell newer phones, but I would never go to a smaller screen.
We dont need se updates , we have doixnah, racht and lot of other great devs and community which making x8 better

Just by looking at the screen of galaxy mini you can say x8 is far better. Besides we have fully working CM6 (2.2) and CM7(2.3) ROMs that WORK quiet nicely on x8 hardware.

who cares?
se forgot us
well even if they didnt they could not deliver what our devs are doing
and they are already loosing loads of money and making no profit
their xperia play was a epic flop
and xperia neo never came really into the markets
its just the arc which is a bit too pricy compared to the fab htc sensation and samsung galaxy s2
and till the next set of phones arrive it will be january
Could not agree more.
Only if Gingerbread DX perfected with fully support for flash lite at least,
then I'll keep my x8 for 1 year more. Go to H3LL S.E!!
