Anybody know where I can get a Sim Free Hero in Black or Graphite (not White of Brown) in the uk with a valid warranty?
My HD was stolen at the weekend so am looking for a sim free one which my insurance will pay out on as a replacment, and keep my existing contract (vodafone)
Don't want White as I'm worried it'll look filthy dirty in no time at all, and Brown yuk sorry just not for me
I know I can get unlocked orange/tmobile ones off of ebay but the warrantys will be no good
thanks in advance

The white one isn't that liable to get dirty, it's teflon coated partly to protect it. I've had mine a month or so and I've been using it like a normal phone, in and out of the pocket, down the pub etc. and it's still white and shiny!
You can also get full body skins for them in other colours, which might help if you aren't able to get a different colour one.
Seconded on the white one, I've had mine for a 4 or 5 weeks, got bacon, mud and biro on it (not all at once...) and it still looks excellent. It's a really nice white as well, more like milk than paper. Yummy.
White Hero
I bought one (white) late yesterday and it's arrived
played with if for an hour or so and I love it!
so easy to set up and use, it's just brilliant so much better than my HD, almost glad it was Stolen now
blown WinMobile out of the water for me
cheers

as long as they are unlocked correctly (by t-mobile or orange) then there is no effect on the warranty whatsoever. It's only when you start changing ROMs that the warranty is affected.
as for them being SIM free, not in the UK you won't. The black and graphite are network exclusives in the UK. Course, that might be different on the continent....
hey i have a black x10 but i'm regretting buying it,as the white one looks much sexier.........so can i get it changed it to white at the service centers.....?????
plz let me know
I am in the same situation, thinking of getting a new body from ebay. They sell this white body for around 35$.

But you won't get a full white phone as the area around the screen is black on your device and that area is actually part of the screen. So you'll get a black and white hybrid/panda/star trooper phone.
I got white and I want the black one
Id happily swap my white x10 for a black one but it'd need to be uk and unlocked/locked to orange. And whoever swaps will need to unlock my white one when they get it as its locked to orange atm. Pm me if anyones up for a swap...

..
The black one is much sexier and it does not grab too much attention.
can someone find a picture of a black phone using the white body, i'm rather interested in how it looks

I actually started calling it Panda. However McKebapp started calling it Star Trooper. He also made this guide which show you how to disassemble and reassemble your X10.
I really LOVE white phones because they look so much cleaner and more expensive and because 99% of all phones are black...I dont want to mess with my warranty but I am sure that I will put white back cover on my black phone, Im sure it will look great
Can someone who has both make some photos of that ? Only put white battery cover on black phone.
Tnx
www.dealextreme.com has some supposedly original ones.
i have the white one. and woudent trade it for the world for a black one.
whenever i have the choice between black nd white in my cellphone's.
i everytime pick the white one.

What led to your conversation?
Was changing my direct debit details & the guy said he couldnt hear me very well, I have had a bit of crackling during calls for a while & losing signal a lot recently.
He put me through to handset department who said they would replace the handset.
I have had the phone for just shy of 6 months and didnt realise I could change the phone for free.

If you have insurance I'd be demanding a new one, I'd demand one anyway if is only that old. As for the quality I couldn't say, but depending on the state of it you could also ask for that to be replaced too.
Should, emphasize on should be like new. A graded, so some parts will be old. Don't worry, but fully test it.

are you on contract and do you have orange care?
if so then its a new one your getting not a refurbished
IF it's refurbished I would be basicly new. Just without the box ect. It will be in very good condition and fully working.
My refurb was new. Not even a scratch on it.
Thanks folks your replies have put my mind at ease. I will post tommorrow to let you all know how the phone is.
I got 4 refurbished xperia x10, not a good experience at all they all had problems for me

Hi all, got my phone it is in really good condition not a scratch on it

All i need now is 2.1 update
Hello everyone,
For a long time ARC users suffered from housing cracks on their gadgets. On the Arc S users side, there was always a big speculation about new metarial usage on Arc S but it was not declared&confirmed by the SE company or any other person. Also there were some rumors and photos of cracked Arc S housing on web but non of them have sufficient proof about was it Arc or Arc S ?
I was beliving the same solace, it was new material until my neighbours Arc S cracked yesterday.
Here are the photos and video(720p) of Cracked housing. (Video is recorded by my Arc S but rendering in youtube was a little bit problematic so don't mind the glitches)

did you do something in your arc?like accidentally put apressure on some points? or have you drop it?
And I have an Arc S, witch cracked in 3 places!!! I am very disappointed! It happens instead of that the phone was not falling, used with care, no single scratch on it! I like to snowboarding...but this phone never was on a mountain -always stayed home! I can't even imagine how could it happen except SE failed with plastic quality! Before that I had Midnight Blue Arc, I sold it to my friend. So couple days ago I was looking on his phone and it had the same cracks. So how about collective message to SE? I would like a free replacement. I could do it myself, but because of glued digitizer it is a bit difficult job... What do you think of that?
I have my arc since late May, luckily it has no crack near the proximity sensor. Putting it in my pocket everytime I go out. I read somewhere that the cracks are prevalent to midnight blue arc. I have the silver one.
Now it holds me back to change it to white as the post above shows cracks of white arc s.

Man, do not look at those cracks...it is so beautifull in white!!!! If you do not know that they are there you can't see em))))) I think it is not the reason to hold yourself...matter a fact it is a bad luck for mee...maybee you will be more lucky))))
Guys,
There hadn't been any accident like falling or hitting to an edge.
Also there is another crack on the housing at the right side of phone, between screen and metal case but i didn't put it's photos here because owner of the phone believes that reason of this side crack is putting his mobile to jean pocket.
But crack on near the sensor is not because of user error.
Thank to my GOD that my white Arc S is perfect without any cracks and hope it won't...
i have the silver LT15i, over 7 months now and no crack at all !!
My Arc has it just above the light sensor.

this is ridiculous.. even arc s has crack.
my conclution :
design -> epic win
material -> epic fail
can we do like a petition or something, so we can all get free replacement ?
*cross fingers*
Design Failure!
Sony must make a recall to replace cases free of charge!
(I'm A student at mechanic engineering)
this is why I bought Xperia Ray with alloy frame
It will crack soon again. Mine got a crack 2 months after repair.

Sony replaces housing crack under guarantee without any payment but what about after guarantee period?
It's indeterminant...
By the way, owner of the mobile had experienced another crack at left side of the housing and changed his mobile with Samsung Infuse 4g
I would like to replace my housing for free...but I got no warranty because of I brought my phone in a Great Britain, and now it is in Ukraine. But I can live with that...I would replace my phone with SGS2 - white of course but! It looks iPhonish, it is Samsung... Maybee Xperia P will save me, but I do not know!

If I'm not wrong, Sony Ericsson have 1 year global warranty in all products even you bought it at foreign country. So try your chance...
Indeed, SE have it. But this is a country of idiots - if your phone is not in data base as importet ''Legaly'', wich is provided by costoms or radio frequncies control centr they wont service it for warranty, only for money. It is because of certified phone cost at minimum 100 dollars more instead of THE SAME ONE not in base... Stupidest system I have ever see...

Actually, Turkey is not too different than Ukraine.. For ex: Arc S is 300Euro in Germany but here it's 545Euro I've bought my phone in Germany and registered it in Turkey with my passport.
I couldn't check for global warrant in Turkey but for European countries it has 1 year globally.
By the way, i was in Kiev 6 months ago and phone prices are lower then us

Will never work, as the crack doesn't harm functionality.
And btw, Arc and Arc S are so cheap now, that it wouldn't be good for making money either
But the bad product quality and last years hardware (even in new devices of SE) made me want to change brands.
Looking forward to Samsung Galaxy S III's release

I dropped my arc S twice now, and still, no cracks or marks
It is sad about the cracks but I trie to just dont think about it
