Ok now with the release of froyo im kind of regretting my purchase. I also bought it sort of over priced. Does anyone know any way to return it and get your money back? Ive had it for around a month.

It does what the box says its meant to do and that hasn't changed since you bought it. You can't get a refund on something you bought just because some other company brought out a different product that you like better.
Sell it on eBay, you'll get most of your money back.

x10 is the best android phone ,in specifications so wait untill root it will be another device
I hear you buddy. I've purchased the nexus one after about 1 month of owning the x10. I too believe I made the wrong choice. I'm probably going to sell the x10 after 2.1 update pedigree I need the money.

There won't be root on the X10 anytime soon or ever. The X10 isn't a popular device means less People work on it to archive Root. SE even doesn't care to provide us with up to date updates. 2.1 in Q4 , common :-D
I also going to sell my X10 , the Hardware isn't so good as i thought and the lack of updates + the non ability of having Root does the rest.
it seems we are in about the exact same position. how is your experience of the n1?

I hate saying the same thing in every thread but you knew froyo was coming to the N1 soon and that the x10 wouldn't get a serious update for a long time.
I had the N1 on 2.1 and returned it. No regrets. It was a fast phone (i hate laggy phones) but other than that I wasn't as impressed as I wanted to be. 2.2 is nice with flash but it's not making me run back to the N1.
can anyone tell me the difference between getting 2.2 through se vs through root? it feels like 2.2 from se is out of the question.

Through root, it's a custom made ROM, so whoever developed it can put whatever features in it. For example, they can make it look like HTC's SenseUI, and whichever version of Android they want.
Have faith, I would love android without sense and all that crap. 2.2 just like N1 would be great. I'm hoping for root in a couple of weeks or I'll probably sell my X10 too... But it's the most beautiful phone out there, miles and miles prettier than Desire and Nexus one put together my friends have both so I've tried both.

i bought it for around 600euros (my country is extremely overpriced but i wanted local warranty). just now one month later its dropped to 500 euros.

SE hasn't announced 2.2, only 2.1. So for us x10 users, right now we can only dream of 2.2.

IF the x10 ever get rooted, it will become a much superior phone. I can not believe the difference in speed just between a 2.1 n1 compared to the x10. Everything was as smooth as silk and not once will you experience any lag and dropped frames. Froyo n1 is another story though, the horsepower of the phone is just improved by many multitude and it renders websites or flash videos much better than my netbook ever could. When I first got the x10, I almost went back to my iPhone 3gs because of how sluggish the phone was, but I decided to give Android a 3rd chance and bought myself a n1. 3rd time is indeed the charm, and that phone is everything I've ever wanted from a cellphone. In conclusion, if you guys wait for 2.1, the x10 will be an awesome phone compared to what it is now, but if you are not willing to wait that long, purchasing the Nexus one would make a great decision.
Regardless, even with the update for x10, its users will still want the other update that brings even better performance.
So in the short and long run x10 users will be hoping and waiting for updates while other phones won't have to hope or wait thatong for improvements.

I've been wrestling with the idea of returning this too. However the first time i went to sell it. They annouced two updates one of them was should have been released by now, the other was set for Q4.
I kept hold of it thinking that they would come good, but the more and more I have it now the less I believe that that will be the case.
With all the comments on the blog and the petition, I think they may announce all the required bug fixes and android updates, with multitouch on the X10's successor.
The X10's rep is not good at the mo and im not sure that they will be able to recover it.

You just summed up and directly pointing to the phone Nexus One. If you want a phone that allows to get the fastest update, then Nexus One, if not, all other phones will take some time to get the update out.
Wow, this is one super-retarded thread.
Is there any reason for a happy Desire owner to buy a x10, there seem to be alot of pi**ed x10 owners. BTW i'm getting it at half the price but I want more good reasons anyone???

Any reason... Hmmm... Is your Desire broken????
There are plenty of reasons to own an X10. However I would read a construtive list of its short comings before you purchase.
If you bought the X10 based on its advertised spec you may be disappointed
when you come to use it.
The software features it boasts are not quite up to par in certain areas.
I also think coming from a HTC who are pro's in the android Device Market, You will be more critical of this device. HTC have had time to perfect Sense for there handsets.
If you were prepared to wait though the proposed updates may change this device completely.
Thanks for the feedback. My desire is working brilliantly and very happy with it, the main reason I'm considering x10 is because I'm getting it for £210 only used 4 few days. Is that a good price? This will be sort of backup handset.

i really love the hardware design of the X10. the white one is a chick magnet. **** i even got 2 girls phone numbers because of the phone. its that good.... till i get home.. and HOLA slow phone. even the unlock is laggy :/
i got to ask a friend who works for Sony and he only knew one thing. we will get the xperia update on week 44.
thats in Nov. for %$%^ sake . this long to get 2.1 ? and nexus boys are on 2.2 already with flash support and 300% faster than 2.1 " which is already much faster than 1.6 "
this is too much. why they are ****ing this up ? they have a great phone. and its super phone just like the desire and nexus .
give me a break already. i am serisously considering selling it to nexus one. just to get greated with pink screen like most of the poor mfers here got on desire/nexus . sigh.

I'm hoping you didn't buy the phone with a superficial mindset... seems like you did. Lol @ superficial skanks giving out numbers because of some guy's phone.
You knew what you were getting into when you bought the phone... no update for a long time and no root available.
Just be patient. A root will come. They're trying to make progress.
I had a Nexus One. It was a great device but didn't impress me like I wanted it to. Would I recommend it to others? Definitely! Does 2.2 make me regret returning the N1? No.... though the speed and flash is nice. The speed of the phone was the one thing that I enjoyed on 2.1 so I'm sure 2.2 is even faster... and I hate laggy phones so I hope I don't get upset once my x10 comes in... but l know what I'm getting into and I need to deal with it.
+1000
SE is really pissing me off w this crap.... pls someone get rooot !
Aside from some unrooted Nexus Ones no one has 2.2 yet, and although I see little differance between 2.1 and 1.6 so I don't care about that upgrade much. Getting 2.2 by the end of the year should be SE's goal.
guys.... i have nexus one from past one month and today i got SE EX10 also...
got 2.2 on my unlocked Nexus and i must admit its amazing speed...i dont even think we would need to customize it anymore.......
and on X10, i like the hardware and the scapes.....but only thing i am looking for is root....i dont want even roms as SE itself gave nice skin to it......
so u cant compare nexus with 2.2 and X10.. until X10 gets 2.2 ...
for now we do need root........

Hmm i see more Huge differences. 1.6 always was buggy and had Issues , aside from speed. 2.1 would bring a immense speed advantage + the screen could use more then 65k colors as 1.6 is limited to this. Shipping the device with 1.6 was such dumb**** from SE. But it ever was that SE doesn't care about their Customers.
Yes we already know that x10 is coming with 1.6 but consider this:
Many of x10 user including me never use an Android phone before
When we do our research knowing that x10 is coming with 1.6 and most of the review tell that "1.6 is not much diff with 2.1", somemore SE promised give us update further that make us took the phone.
BUT now we are already Android user with some relative knowledge and now we knew how important 2.2 is.
So don't you SE bring us into Android and leave us in the middle of no where.

no i didnt buy a phone to get some girls numbers. thats kinda stupid dont you think ? it just happened that i wanted a white color phone since i am sick of dark gray / or black colored phones.
also. i am sorry dude. but the X10 is laggy. its not a hardware problem. its the figgin software SE added. F##k even the unlock arrow sometimes lags. and if you think i am full of ****, your phone is coming. you tell me then what you feel.
i wouldn't be half pissed if i was on 1.6 but at least a fast software. this **** is really laggy. i use the task manager all the time just to free memory. and it still lags.
it cant be because of RAM is 256. i have tested the DROID, its also 256 and its not half as laggy as X10.
and for the other poster who think i am 4 years old with nothing else more important.. nice reply dude. shows how smart you are ... oh wait.
because i give a **** about my phone and don't pretend its cool to be outdated makes me a 4 years old ? ok there. you stay cool and stay out of my thread. maybe you will be cooler

RAM is actually around 384MB - I calculated more than 256MB in a test and someone else looked at a log and got more than 256Mb too.
Lagginess is down to SE's optimisation and bad firmware decision - even Android 2.0 (Original Eclair) was out months before the X10's release. (Widget list is even laggy - my pulse with a 2.1 BETA, with a 528MHz processor is smoother!

I have not heard of a huge performance bump from 1.6 to 2.1, most of the advances in 2.1 were addressed by SE in 1.6 (bluetooth, file sharing etc) I could care less about the number of colors, they're not nearly as important as the quality of the screen and X10 trumps the Nexus Ones. The speed advantage will be in 2.2, and it's why while I didn't care that X10 shipped with 1.6 instead of 2.1, I do care whether they upgrade to 2.2 or not. They stated this is a phone that would get continuous support, I expect 2.2 on our X10's.
SE needs to just give out the 2.1 update right now! and release the 2.2 update in Q3-Q4.. This is ridiculous!! I haven't used any other android phone b4 I purchased the X10 and have nothing to base comparison of 1.6 & 2.1 based phones. What i do know is like others said on this thread Hardware isn't holding back the device, the damn laggy software is! SE please stop being stuck up snobs (AKA Apple) and listen to your customers.. I love this phone and hate to see it handicapped by the stubbornness of the manufacturer..

I won't argue with the speed and I hate slow phones. And judging from pre-release software (even though they supposedly fixed it) I can tell that lag will be apparent in the x10 especially without a simple post-release update to fix common bugs. It's annoying that SE won't fix it so soon but apparently an update is coming within the next few weeks. Seems like some people's phones don't lag and some have very laggy ones so it could just be some people got the short end of the stick... either way... it needs an update.
I always wanted the x10 and backed away once I realized it was still launching with 1.6... but when I used the N1 the whole 2.0 issue wasn't a big deal for me.
My argument is that you can't have an issue with 1.6... because it's your fault for buying the phone knowing that it came with it. However, the bugs and laggy software... that's a good enough reason to be upset. The bugs on the N1 annoyed me just enough to make me feel ok getting rid of it... and it was still a great device that I wouldn't mind keeping.
If you really want to... get rid of the x10 now while you can still salvage some money from it. By the end of the summer the price will drop.
And yeah, people need to stop praising the x10 like it's the greatest android phone ever... because it's not. It's a good device though but it needs an update.
Also, I only buy the white version of phones whenever possible as well, just because they are less common.
I came to this forum looking for mature discussion about phones, instead, there's just a bunch of whiners who buy things with their parents money and then complain when the phone doesn't give them a blow job.
It's a phone for crying out loud. It does everything it's supposed to, as advertised. Updates are coming. If you're so immature that you can't wait a few months, do everyone a favor, go get some other phone, and go away.

Funny that you should say that mate, but when I got mine the week it was released in the UK, I struggled to text and make calls!
The SE keyboard was not registering Key presses e.g "A".
During a call the volume was far too quiet and I struggled to hear the person on the other end (even at max volume). The screen wouldn't always wake either for me to be able to end the call.
I guess you can argue that it still did everything, but just not very well!
TimeScape make the UI really sluggish set as home and MediaScape cannot create playlists and misses key presses.
Facial recognition is hit and miss and has a habit of losing its entire memory.
I had to debrand and upgrade the firmware to make it pass as useable and replace the keyboard with HTC one.
I was aware of the phones shortcomings when I purchased so I know that it is my own fault.
However reason I still went ahead with the purchase was because SE reps and reviews told me 2 things.
1. The delayed release was to fix the major issues with UX integration
2. It wouldn't be long before it would be upgraded to 2.1
So I personally can understand why some people are moaning.
ok honestly, i gave this alot of thoughts yesterday and i made up my mind. i am going to sell my xperia x10 today in the phone market.
i will try to find a used nexus 1 in a good condition. if i cant, then i will buy new one today anyway since i don't have a second phone.
i am just hoping for used one so i dont pay much extra.
**** this really. let them shove that pretty white phone up their ass. i was stupid for buying one.
i hope you guys have fun with your phone, and i hope you will be able to get it rooted very soon. by the time they do som the new iphone will probably be out in few months and even the EVO 4g World wide " **** this CDMA **** too " but yeah.
maybe the other guys who were bashing in this thread will shut up and be happy.
peace

Serious mistake returning the N1, 2.2 is amazing. Speed of it unreal, browser is almost as fast as a desktop browser. Flash, wireless tethering, chrome to phone is amazing.
How can you go backwards to 1.6?!?!!
Who is with me?
With all the gripes that we have with this phone right now, including no 2.1 for a 8 months (by which time SE will launch a newer Android device and pay no attention to X10 owners) as well as multitouch, live wallpapers, hundreds of apps that dont run on anything less than 2.1 etc etc, I think its high time we hit SE where it hurts.
Bring on AMOLED, 512 MB RAM, native flash and 2.2 around the corner.
Who needs a 8MP camera. Seriously, all cameras on mobile phones are **** anyways.
The screen size is a tad smaller, but so is the phone (which is better in my books).
Any other reasons anyone can think of apart from the obvious?
Just about to flog it on fleebay/gumtree

Exactly its phone nothing more. Jheeze what a pointless thread.
I sincerly hope you are satisfied once you switch.
The X10 is as advertised and I am happy with it as is.
Im sure you are all very happy with the device at hand and this is probably not the best forum for this topic, although I know of a lot of users here who feel the same way about the X10 and would be willing to move away.
If not now, than a couple of months down the line, you will all be singing the same tune when most of the apps stop offering upgrades on the 1.6 platform.
Everyone's opinion is welcome and a forum (any) is the perfect place to express it.
I respect your opinion and your reasoning as it does have merit.
For me, this is my first run on Android.
I like the SE UI and the apps are secondary to me.
i'm with you. but i'm going for the nexus one. receiving that piece of sexy tomorrow.
I will wait another month or so, to see if we get it rooted. If not, ill be getting a 4G when available in the UK
boring htc phones
To be very honest i think Desire and Nexus are both boring not so well designed phones. They´re geek phones with no aesthetics. X10 it´s way more sleek, elegant and big! Froyo will come as well to the X10... just patience my friends. Who know we get the phone rooted pretty soon...
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
seriously im getting tired of these "omg ive had it with this x10 gotta sell it" go ahead , no one really cares. coming from 2.1, i still dont care if the x10 is still 1.6, its fast,sexy and its just a phone! im all for root, and itll come. for now though people who dont sit at home all day in mommys basement are enjoying the x10.
i certainly hope puberty doesnt confuse you as much as your x10 dilemma.

anyone who is happy with the way the x10 is right now is seriously either super retard OR cant/doesnt have the money/whatever reason to switch to another phone. "ofcourse i am talking software wise " not the phone it self in general as i used to have X10 and i love the design of the phone more than my new nexus 1
anyway OP. i did the same yesterday, i bought the Nexus 1 tho. mainly because i never like the HTC interface and i figure that phones like nexus and motorolla droid are always faster to get updates " since i wont wait for htc to implement their software into the phone before updating.
the guy at the store promised me not to sell my x10 for a week " he is a friend " if SE annouce 2.2 by then or the phone get rooted " haha wtf i am thinking " then great i will get it back. if not, then the hell with SE. let them shove the phone up their @$$. or some unlucky mfer buy it
let us know if it hurts when yours drop too...wait there should be a thread for prepubescent b00ns...

Seriously just keep the x10 for now. Root will come sooner or later. You knew the x10 would come with 1. 6 then why did you buy it in the first place? If I have the patience to wait for 2. 1 or root then so does everyone else, unless you don't have a life and loaft around xda starting useless threads saying ur gonna sell your x10 for another phone. If so go ahead no one is stopping you. We don't need to know anything else. As far as I know this is the xperia x10 thread.

i'm going to be keeping the x10 for a while even after my nexus one gets here today.
i have faith in x10. but the phone seriously is limited by the OS. the nexus one's looks are a matter of opinion and mostly on taste. i love the way it looks but all the good features are on newer OS.
we all knew Android would be updated. but i don't think people expected the phone to have such a long wait for an update with an outdated OS. you get an android phone these days for the reason that the OS will only get better with updates. everyone sees the petition thread, right?
if OS didn't mean a thing and that it didn't have any issues for the X10, no one would be complaining.
Moving to another phone in the future?
Maybe.
HTC? No way ..
What else?
A new iteration of Nexus, maybe a better Galaxy S (one with flash for camera) or a Motorola Motoroi if they decide to sell it in US/Canada.
But really... HTC?
I'm sorry to say but you are crazy
Giving your X10 for HTC Desire/Legend or Nexus One is pointless.
None of them is as good as X10.

I agree with miguelsantos1979.
1st Gen AMLOED screens are not overly impressive, my friend has the Desire and he struggles to see the screen in direct sun light.
If you want to change the handset, change it rather then write a post like a spoilt child
Well, assuming that people don't have the cash to switch to another phone when they are having a X10 is the most useless comment I read here since I became a member, it's not about having cash my friend, it's about what you expect from something you bought and if the product suits you or not.
Fortunately everyone is different, I like my X10 eventhough on my X1 I was able to make my own themes and tweaked whatever I wanted. Ashame some games can't be installed because of the fact it is still running on 1.6, but that's not worth getting another phone for me personally. I will wait for the updates, and as soon as SE comes with the update, there will be something new to complain about. That is how it works in this fastgrowing technology world we live in.
Another point can be not everyone goes so deep in their phones as we do, and for "normal" people the X10 is fantastic as it is. SE want to sell big with this phone, so making it to complicated scares of the average customer who just buys a phone based on the looks of it, and you have to admit, the first time you had the X10 in your hand, it was looking good
Just relax and take a beer after you bought yourself another phone
Cheers,

I was at a meeting today, the guy next to me had the HTC Evo 4G, looked like a sweet phone, but in the 2 hour meeting the guy had to take the battery out FIVE times because the phone froze on him. In the year I have owned my X10 I have had to do that twice that I can recall. Made me feel pretty good about my trusty x10! Just thought I'd share given all the *****ing about our phone sometimes
That's why I love my phone. Never had any problem with it. Specially now that there's a lot of custom rom out there.
well, after all seems there`s no reason for battery complain
is right where it should be, in battery case
didn`t you tease with the guy? i would!
The X10 is very stable, even with mods.
But the EVO isn't bad, too. Wish they'd sell it here, too. Want at it as my second phone xD

Since I got my X10 last July, I never ever had to remove the battery for any other reason. Never hang or freeze on me yet, knock on wood! He! He!
Hey guys,
I just sold my HD2 and with the money i bought a brand new x10. I deceided to post a thank-you-all-for-the-support-post at their sub forum and they almost ate me alive. I was called crazy etc, now since i received the brand new package and that i have spent almost 3-4 days of heavy usage i can say honestly the following:
1. From the design point of view the device is awesome, fne and classy.
2. The OS is stable and the harware works just great.
3. From the camera point of view there is not much to compare, actually comparing the cameras of HTC and Sony is pretty insulting i guess.
4. The headphones from the pack are great
So anybody can feel free to diss X10, i can say that the phone is great and i do not regret selling the HD2 for this Sony masterpiece.
I feel sorry for two guys: the owner of the HTC Evo and the guy whom opened a thread asking for opinions about X10, but at the end he will get a Samsung (fa)i(l)Phone Galaxy
F*ck the negativity, f*ck SE's decision, f*ck bootloader, X10 rules!!!
X10 is even cooler than ARC
Hi,
From the design point of view (phone sleeping!) I think that the front-view of X10 is way more balanced than XPERIA ARC. Have you noticed the distance between the top of the screen and the top of the heady phone?
OK, ARC is thin on the side-view but phones do not "walk like the Egyptians"
I would expect that the follow-up on X10 would be something like the attached picture... I love the visual balance of the X10.
Bye,
Alex

Same for me, I dun have such problem after using my X10 compared to my previous HTC devices.
The user experience for X10 is simply great, SE has done a good job.

I must be just unlucky then, I've had to remove the battery loads and the phone keeps restarting. As I write this I'm preparing my phone to send it for repair.

just because U installed custom Rom or didn't update properly. Bad luck for U. But it worth to try that U backup everything ( but no the downloaded from market), hard resest. and try to repair by SEUS. Then if U have 0.24 or 0.435 build, everything shuold work fine
I'm gonna cheat on my X10 with the Arc......does that make me horrible? Lol

last time i did this with symbian phones
The problem with the arc or any new phone is all the bugs. Honestly how much better is the arc to the x10 ?

Don't get why previous X10 owners wants to get out and buy another SE android device. After the way they treated you with this device. Im not going back to a SE device next time I'll go out for a new smartphone.

Its simple....because some people actually like/love there X10's (myself included) and I do not care about SE and anything they have said. The boys here at XDA have us covered.
The Arc has everything I want in a smartphone....so why wouldn't I buy it? Its fits my needs better than any HTC, Samsung, Motorolla, etc etc.
I don't care about dual core this and dual core that...I don't care about "retina display"
I don't care about my phone having the highest specs possible when released...because in reality, it will be outdated in a month anyways.
SE never promised or said they would give us 2.2+...they have given us what they said they would (except DLNA...bad bad boys for that)
Anyways, I think you understand what Im trying to say...just because your not happy with SE, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.
Oh...and don't take anything I said "offensive" or "personal"....I wasn't being rude or aggresive
Just thought Id add that before I start a war lol
Yeah youre right but SE does one thing better then all other Android Phones, the Style. The UI and Phone Style is very good i think no other Android Phone looks that good. Atleast this Time they launch the Phone on latest Android Version so its already one good step forward^^ And i dont think they will again do the same like with X10. But i buyed the X10 becouse of the Design most. I could have taken a Desire too but i didnt liked the Style i only liked the newer Android Version, everyone likes other things but for me stock Android is very ugly and alot of Android Phones too. Gingerbread is not that ugly but still not that good.

+1 for that my friend. SE ui is extremely nice to look at. And the phone styles they create are excellent. I don't think they will be late with updating anymore. I'm sure they learned....and the hard way....they were blasted from all over the globe lol.
The Arc is launching with the newest android os....so that's one step in the right direction right from the start. But if the arc was launching with even froyo....I'd still be on board to buy this phone. I'm not to picky when it comes to android os versions.....well as long as its not lower than 2.1.
PS. I'm actually using you cm rom v4.1 right now....excellent work man....tho I like your old ui without the arc style better.
Best 2.2 rom I've tried tho.

I pass from iPhone 4 to X10, no complain about it, only the lack of INSTAGRAM, I also have a Samsung Galaxy tab and Exchange email capability is the only one thing better than X10! Both devices are Telcel now unbranded!

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?)
