Agreed lovelovelove the first one
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I won't lie, I HATE the first one... I think it's hideous, but obviously most disagree and since you won fair and square you really don't have to do this!!
The people have spoken, they chose yours you should feel proud
first one look way to home-made , he hasn't even dithered the gradient ...
my vote goes to no.2
first one is best one, it looks not finished, but 30 min of work will fix it
The 1st one is too striking, which is why I don't like it. The 2nd one is the best, it's dark, sleek and beautiful. 3rd one's..meh.
Of course all are good, since they are in the top 3, but I just like the 2nd one the best.
First, I just wanted to say that it's obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the submissions. Good job guys.
As for the three. I voted for #3. #2 is close. #1 is 'fun' but for some reason, it would grate on me every time it booted up. For me, there's just too much going on and the emphasis really isn't on the free xperia project but on the graphic. which i guess signifies the project.. but now i'm just rambling, haha.
I'm just in the mindset since we're limited to 256 colors, it should stay as simple as possible so that the limits of 256 colors aren't as evident.

I will disappoint you but it is dithered and far from home made. ;-)
If you think you can do better try yourself and we will make another poll.
My vote to Uraharasama \o/ its the best to take seriously the ExperiaProject =)
I like lzyllp too, nice colors there =D
Reptile64 its great, but it makes me imagine that the XProject its driven by a 16 years old kid =P (no offense)
Good luck to all 3, really nice work

First of all all the bootkscreens are amazing.
But from our friend Reptile i think we see something deeper than the image.
The green paint or whatever breaking sony erricson logo and getting out. Thats showing the concept : '' Free Xperia '' .
Gratz mate for your amazing artwork , and get ready to fight MK 9 releasing tommorow Reptile wins.

Some of us just don't like these.
No offense meant.
Nice work- you got Omega & fiscidtox to agree on something
Just kidding guys.
1 is most representative of the project but the colors and background need to be more subdued etc. 2 looks most "pro" but I think of Cyanogen every time I see it. 3 is nice but not my pint of lager.
My 2 cents anyway...

this is a good vid, shows all the leads etc that we will get and the unit itself which looks good.
hopefully in the next day or 2 they will upload the guy running through the software so we can see what software they included and how much they have improved it from the announcement model (if they have sorted the lag and changed or improved anything).
yeah, I'd like to see how it runs and how well it goes through the panels.
I'm considering purchasing one, just not right away...
(waiting for a price drop similar to the Xperia X1's)

Sigh... after watching the video, somehow just adds to the feeling that it really ain't much of a big improvement over the X1. But well, will still get it. And hopefully, it'll be out before the 1 year warranty of my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing. Gotta get my keyboard issue resolved, now that I realized it ain't to do with me using a custom ROM.
If you want it to feel like a "big thing" just simply think of it as a standalone phone from the Xperia series, not as a successor to the X1.
After you establish that fact, it's just a new phone in the lineup.
I hope they won't put those pathetic earphones in the final set.
I would like to LAUGH one more time about their decision to use micro usb when all the companies in the undustry have agreed to use mini usb.
Midway through the video, just after he puts in the battery (which looks to be a standard X1 BST-41 ) - he hits a switch on the side. I was originally going to ask if that might be a Hold switch like the ASUS phones have - but I realize now its actually just a battery case lock - oh well.
Can't say I like the reduction of the buttons, makes for less customization, the micro-usb means I need to get mini-micro adapters (90% of all usb non-USB-A devices I've owned since 2002 have had Mini-USB plugs). Flat screen is nice though, being a little bigger can't hurt. Nice camera, but lower frame-rate on VGA recording like the X1a now for all editions? Mostly same specs though and no idea what software it will break... makes me with hold judgment on whether I'd ever buy it though. That and the fact I have a brand new X1 to play with in my hand right now .
Peter
P.S. Just saw your reply above me orelsi, I wish Mini-USB were the standard but I keep reading that it's now micro-usb - I'd be happy if you can prove me wrong on this Ref: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341261,00.asp

My opinion > It's Superb phone i have ever had ! But SE Service in Very BAD !
You may add this option also...
It's a nice phone to mess around.
It's pretty cheap (beside x10)
Best phone for less than 150€!!! However, SE made horrible job with software... Fully working AOSP 2.1 would be perfect in this moment

Thumb Up:
- Price
- Size
- Basic funcions (email, browser..)
- Perfect if you want (slower) functions of a best performaces (and hi price) phone
Thumb Down:
- Battery
- >>> M U L T I T O U C H <<<
- Front Camera (to keep phone price low, I guess)
- SE Interface (replace asap with LauncherPro, ADW Launcher or similar..)
- SE Upgrade (At the moment no upgrade to Android 2.2 or greater scheduled)
I agree with member above me.
X8 is the best entry level android, cheap phone with HVGA screen, other type in the same price range give you phones with QVGA screen, 3 MP camera is fair enough, better than 2 MP from Samsung I5500, Eclair is good enough for me, just need to root it and enable App2SD make Froyo can be forgotten. Can play many games without lags, slightly smoother than Samsung I5500. The drawback is no multitouch, Samsung Spica I5700 multitouch can be enabled via SamdroidMod, but there is no multitouch too in Samsung I5500 after Froyo upgrade, so I'll be satisfied enough with dual touch, hope this is coming soon for X8. And there is no navigation key that made pain in the ass for me when editing text in messaging and browsing.
Sorry for my bad english...
Not a very good poll.

what do you want me to add or delete?
the thing is....i bought the phone with the hope that "hey, it's android! i will get updates regularly and will have the latest version unlike wm 6.5!"
but SE really disappointed me!! soo.....i started this one to know whether other people also think the same or not!
Hello,
As someone once post here my opinion about the X8 is like love/hate relationship.
There is times when I really love my phone and times when I really hate it.
But for it`s money it`s great phone.
And if you never use Android in my opinion it`s easy to use this phone.

The fact I can vote for every option at once shows that it is bad. Also the options are too bias. A simple "I like this phone"/"I don't like this phone" would do.
very nice phone,just waiting for froyo roms by racht...
Is's so cheap~
It's a Great phone for it's price, It's beautifull, really well designed compared to other devices. It's solid and SE quality made. In Hardware we can't really complain, like I said, for it's price... In Software, well good... except, what we all know, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE from SE... If it weren't that it would be a great! phone.
i buy this phone for 200$ dolares on amazon, any other phone for that price is better than this X8
Pro's
>Form Factor
>Design
>Price
>Great Screen Size and Resolution
Con's
>Multi Touch
>Camera
>Update's
in this price range tier its direct competitor it would be Optimus One P500 it has
>Multi Touch
>2.2 Android update and can be upgraded to 2.3?
>Higher Ram 512
>Better Camera w/ Auto Focus/Face and Smile Detection
>More Screen Colors
>Bigger Screen .2"
>A Bit Higher Available Phone Memory
Much Expensive than X8 around $25-$30 more, but for all those features its worth it, if X8 have those features too, then X8 would be one of the BEST Android Mid Range
Amazon dont sell lg optimus ONE .
X8 is a great phone. i really love it
Everything is good except software update. I really hate the abandonment from SE.
Hi! I'm proud to present you some of my renders of the next Samsung Galaxy S III. This is how I imagine it, so don't get too excited: this is not how it will look like. Anyway, here are the renders, one black and another white.

This models have been modeled in C4D. I hope you like them!
Honestly, I don't want to be too harsh or anything but.. it just look like a cheap chinese Mp3 player of any kind I mean..
And by the way why physical + software home buttons wtf ?
But I thanked you anyway !
It shows the level of expectation for the phone. Such hype was reserved only for Apple products. Samsung must have done something right.
Well done, but I would have loved less bezel and the home button looks too much iPhone-ish.

Well, C4D isn't the best program to design in. I've moved on 3DS Max. About the home buttons: the homescreen picture is just an ICS picture i've downloaded on the internet.

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!
I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.
i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.
i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!
Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.
Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

AW: Enuf *****in
Definitely, yes.
Out of all "new" devices I have bought, this so far has given me the biggest "wow". I have never experienced such a leap in performance and awesomeness from one device to another device like with this one. And it's not like I jumped 2010 to 2013; most recently I went Galaxy Note to Xperia T to Xperia Z.
It's not perfect, it's got it's faults. But it's whining on a very high level.
Edit: crappy thread title btw, should be named "Xperia Z appreciation thread"
People will always whine about the latest phone. Next will be the HTC flagship then the Samsung galaxy flagship then the 2H Sony flagship and so on.
There will never be a perfect phone, like computers, always issues and society wanting more.
Dont worry its normal
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Get used to it. That's how things are now on XDA.
Wait for S4 - then people will trash HTC One. And after few months, they'll trash S4 and praise another device... Seriously, if we have people calling S4 Pro chips "outdated" now - it's clearly quite absurd...

"Decent" ist not enough for a flagship-smartphone, braw.

Your right, but Funny thing is most people were expressing their disappointment before phone even released so they didn't even spend lots of dollars at the time or could have cancelled their order.

Perfect argument.
But if we talk about people who actually own S3 devices and are very happy about it - this argument becomes invalid instantly... i mean people who criticize plastic screen protector, but are fine with whole flimsy plastic body - that's just ridiculous.
Lol we now have a threat where people are *****ing about people *****ing. I miss sometimes the old xda. Hope it comes back when people are able to buy the one and the s4

Seconded. Crap thread.
With new technology introduce almost every 3months.There can never be a "perfect phone". Even telcos are finding it difficult to catch up( new phone launch almost every month). If the performance of a phone is not upto our expectations, why dun we just buy a better phone if we can afford it instead of whinning over it. Else , lets just be appreciative. My humble personal opinion, XZ is a great phone with flaws( design by human and humans are'nt perfect).I cannot afford to purchase a "greater" phone cause my line will not be able to recontract for another 2 years.Thus am contented with XZ. 2cents.
I don't think that this topic deserves its own thread.
