buy an Xperia X10 :>
dont buy yet, wait for the next release of phone before you buy.
in this way, phones below in it will cause lesser,
stick to your x8 a bit longer and wait for 2-3 mos.
im sure "better" phones will be much cheaper.

yeh windows it might be new out and what not but i tried the HTC windows and it was really smooth when changing windows and what not had nice tiles and Microsoft office (google docs is not the same) , it had a massive screen, i love android and i think atm it is the best and only smart phone OS to go for, but im interested and curious about how the windows os is going to develop.
180??OH, that's well ...Maybe you could wait for SE NEO ^.^

seems like someone can't really understand what is he reading. we're not getting the update, and it's not about google giving update, it's about google forcing these companies to update their phones. but only NEW PHONES (read that text carefully, it's written down there), phones that have been just released, and phones that will be released in future. it's not working backwards, older phones ain't getting upgrades. sorry to turn your dreams into a dust. just a little advice - read the whole text, not just the heading, before you start a thread like this - you made ppl excited for no reason. now i have to make their joy go away

+1 it also mentioned that they will get updates if hardware is capable, se have already said x8 wont be updated due to insufficient hardware on x8 personally I don't agree but hey what se says goes regarding hardware they manufactured. It really is a shame.
Thank God for racht, ponnovan, jerpela, dioxanh etc etc they make x8 worth buying XD

Somewhere else writes old phones too and dont forget that sony thinks it will slow diwn our phones not that is hardware not supported and that does not make sense because 2.2 is lighter rom than 2.1

then "somewhere else" is wrong. and of course, se is talking bull****, but that has nothing to do with it.
anyway, i'm happy with custom roms from our devs, so it's fine.

Like I said before se have said many times before x8 will not get froyo EVER at the end of the day not us not Google not anyone can make se update x8 to newer versions of android deal with it. X8 is still a great phone with minicm etc etc
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
come on all send email to google and others
if we can't update our phone can undo and denigrate the f**ckin SE instead ;
I'm happy with custom roms, cuz everything works fine. We don't need SE to update it
X8 is excellent phone.
And, to substantiate my statement as soon as our devs crack bootloader and fully working Gingerbread is made this phone will get even better. Worth waitng.
Times are tough and a lot of us just can't affort better phone.
P.S.: @as-mario you're troller... read twice before you post... think before you blink!
I have already sent several messages to SE Brazil and the answer is always the same:
"The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 will not be updated because it does not meet the requisites of Android 2.3" - or nearly so, but always the same direction of response -> A short NO!
Perhaps with support from Google the story will change, because only the X10 received the upgrade to 2.3 from Sony Ericsson and many users still use their custom ROMS ...
__________________________________________
I bought my E15a because here in Brazil, it is Android and powerful in its price range ...
I wanted to install a custom ROM on my X8, but this news will motivate me to wait for the update .... hehe!

Me too....few bugs in many cases, but smoothless !
We should sent emails to GooGle android center about our problem. Google can force SE to update our phone. We can make petition to google. We can make petition at least for unlocking bootloader.
Who don't think it's a great idea?

Try in the right forum, Xperia Arc Android Development.
NOPE. It looks it isn't true:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/09/08/sony-ericsson-no-decision-has-been-made-to-bring-ice-cream-sandwich-to-xperia-devices/
So it's become ambiguous then?
Pretty sure they will update the new arcS or whatever it is called the same as are Arc's but with the new 1.4ghz chip. That being the only change on paper. I don't think it would be to hard to make it working on are Arc's.
If they don't update LT15i or the new arcS is going look rather bad, especially after the commotion with the xperia x10.

RAM is a worry
I don't want to have 50MB free RAM after upgrade.
And that maybe be a good excuse for SE not to release the upgrade.

That's what I don't understand about se? Don't they think out of the box? Why so little memory? I said this before! I got an android phone for apps and with little memory plus all the new version of android coming out they should have been thinking! But if they didn't want you to buy a new phone they would have put more memory, it's all about the money

Xperia Mini small size, 1GHz cpu (overclockable up to 2GHz), 512 MB RAM, ICS update from SE, official CyanogenMod support, multitouch (i really miss this on my synaptics X8), good price - cca 150 euros
Xperia Play €149 here
Official CyanogenMod and gets official ICS from SE too!

I think mine will be SEX Mini Pro / SEX Ray. but I think its kinda complicated to root(is it? I mean downgrade etc ). I'll buy a phone that got 100% support from CyanogenMod!
I am going for ARC or ARC-S, which is going to fit my pocket.
1. What about Xperia neo V ?
2. Will it get official ICS update or not ?

I think he was referring to the fast pace in which the mobile industry is going. Like, you know...ant years or somethin' like it... ha
On the other hand...
yes, i bought my x8 (the black one) last year in june after my old one got stolen, and i was short on cash, so i bought it with the promotion they had at 3 (three), it was 49 euros without any subscription...planned to change it after a while, but it was ok, and with all the possibilities the android world brings, didn't really feel the need to change it.
but...still...planning on upgrading to defy+ but not sure if it's worth it for now...

I have my X8 Black for about 1,5 years and don't have no intentions to change it. The great work of all the developers of this community and his beautiful design, make it an awesome phone.
i have a X8 and X10 MP which to keep? both unlocked bootloaders
HELP ME DECIDE
X8
X10 -> 5MP + autofocus
X10 mini pro has cypress 5 mp camera. Keep the x10 mini pro bro.
keep both
x10 mini pro is better all of us know (x8 is ahead in that it is mdpi)
BUT our community is BIGGER !!!
yea the only thing thats making it hard to decide is the screen res on the X8, i love the camera on the X10MP, only bought it to repair....but it was just a faulty battery...well i've fallen in love with it tbh!

Bro,
Me can see why its hard for u to choose, because both of it has almost same hardware.Other lacks is overcome by other.In short way,Its complete each other.
In this case me suggest u keep the most had sentimental values for u.The one u bought first,always with u,gift from somebody or anything that will make u miss it most if they are gone.If we cant decide by physiology, we should consider from psychology side.
Hope this will help.
You should keep X8 , because has better screen than x10 mini pro

if you asked that in X10 everyone said keep X10
