Now the X10 has reached the end of the road and new contract in 6 months do we stick with SE ie X12 Arc. Or what, Would defenitly buy one supported by J,Z and the rest of the team.

for me, X12(Arc) is overrated.. Is too much for a mobile phone..
I'll stick with my X10 beast.
Your right, love my X10, hate SE. XDA are kings.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
The only advantage of X12 is camera, with XDA you can get the same performance like X12.
Just my opinion.
lol you got to be kidding me right you gonna be suckered into buying another SE product just be screwed over when they release the next phone ?
never again ...
They openly stated that they messed up with the X10 and did not know what peoples prios were. They also said that they have a completely different plan for working with the Arc. If i had they money, i would defenantly get one! It's still the best looking phone with the hands down best camera and gps, 2 things i look for in a device. So dont be so fast in putting SE off.

We never got screwed at all. Se only promist 2.1 update. They keept all there promis if i dont remember wrong ? Im so sick of all the folks trolling about how mutch the X1 sucks... It not as bad how you want it to be. So se wont update longer as promist, like htc dose it. But its still a good phone. So stop wining !
And i would also go for the arc ( the hd video out is also a nice thing )

will stick to my x10, disapointed to SE..
I still can't do voice dialing on my X10a despite the update to 2.1. SE keeps forgetting that a smartphone is first and foremost a phone.
I'm currently have my eyes on the upcoming Motorola Atrix 4G.

I'll stick to XDA, fck SE
the only replacements that come to mind are:
if u into great looking phones : Xperia Arc
if u want poweful phone: LG Optimus X2 / Motorola Atrix / HTC ??? (they will be announcing one based on Terga2 chip at MWC)
Three things I'll be considering on my next Android (not anytime soon)
1. Upgradability
2. Design/Specs
3. XDA Support
The Arc isn't much of an upgrade from the X10 if you ask me. It's too early still. I'm waiting for something that'll blow me away.
Yeah buy the arc and get screwed again and left behind as android versions pass you by..no thanks!
Get htc or lg..should have lots of choice shortly too. Dual core phones are going to be amazing
Love my x10 but hate SE for screwing with us ,
Personally I dont think much oF SE ARC ,
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
se promiset update each their model for two years so x10 finishing in autumn of 2011.se finished with x10 earlier [8-9months]as they told to public
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...
Click to collapse
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.

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.

Yep i do that everyday i bore them i ask useless questions about x8
next time ask them about gingerdx

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

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.

what about optimus one ? ... the price is around the price of X8 and LG will update from froyo to gingerbread , plus have 512 mb of memory , i don't buy the Optimus one because is sold out in the store when i buy my x8. but since i know XDA and people like Doixanh i don't regret of it, i am happy with my x8 right now ... and i hope that in a future will come more improvements to our phones

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!!
After spending 2 years with my beloved X10 and countless number of flashes, I've decided to move on. The X10 will always have a special place in my heart as my first Android experience. An experience so profound that I converted my entire family from iOS to Android. All of us rocking X10's of course. I also had a hand in converting several other friends as well, all with X10's. Although I am leaving the X10 community since its no longer my main device, I will be back since my daughters and friends are still looking to me for support. Best of luck to you all and happy modding!

Hey guys! Merry Christmas!
Its been a full year since me and my partner here met you guys! Xperia X8 is my first android phone, At first i was contented with everything, then i wanted more. I became greedy, I sought knowledge that was never meant to be. I was defying the will of Sony Ericsson. I rooted my X8, installed my first recovery then flashed a new rom. It felt like heaven, having a better android version and theming it all i want. But not all stories go on great. I experienced bricking my phone, i panicked. I didnt know what to do, my warranty was void, then i thought "Maybe XDA Devs can help me". And it was true, i posted in the forums and got a fast reply. I was astonished by how the members here are helping each other. I got my phone working again. I am at loss for the things happening in this forum. Almost every week there come a new rom or update. I was happy, for every addition to the X8 roms here. But lately i dont feel like its the same anymore. I feel like that X8 has reached its peak, maybe its time for me to move on.
So i was thinking which phone would you prefer buying after you Xperienced android with Xperia X8.
Ive got to options. Xperia Neo V or Xperia Mini Pro
which would you prefer.
Please feel free to give your opinion.
I am very thankful for the people here, devs or not. Thank you all farewell. I will never forget this lively forum!
More power to the devs here! Specially Doxianh, Master Shpit, Froggy Furnetal and more. Rock on \m/

yes its been an amazing journey,
i got myself neo v already,but still my x8 takes all my attention errrrtime hehe...;D
I bought mine just ~6months ago. got damn I made a bad decition but I keep reminding myself its my first android ever. Since my contract is made for 2years I'm stuck on this phone. I was thinking of getting a transformer rather than a new phone
Well,i have the same choices in mind,Neo V or Mini Pro???Neo V has a bigger screen and front camera,and Mini pro the keyboard,its the only difference???
I will go for Neo V, much better than xperia mini pro in my opinion

yeah thats true, i would go for Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy SII.
But the review indicate that SII is better, however I will go for Galaxy Nexus as it is far more likely to get more android updates when compared to Galaxy SII. Google is good in giving updates for nexus phones while you can see that Samsung don't even give much updates, even for some of the good phones.

I'm waiting for my GN too but here's what I've read as I've been following the GN forums for some time now. There are two GN builds, the yakju, which is the Google build and it is an original Nexus, and the yakjuwv build, which is Samsung's build and still hasn't got the 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 update!
HOW DARE THEY BREAK THE NEXUS LEGACY???!!!
I want a Galaxy Nexus!
im waiting for my contract to finish then i will see what phone my carrier will offer me, i hope it is a htc or some good phone
My contract ends next summer.
Then, I´ll look for a better provider (my current one still offers the X8 and doesn´t even offer the S2/Galaxy Nexus/HTC Sensation and all the other high-end devices.
I also think that my next phone will probably be a quad-core phone, I´ve read somewhere that HTC will maybe make one next year.

Guys, if you are on a contract you can still change your phone.. You just have to use the same sim card. Most people don't change their number/operator for years so it's no big deal.. If you buy a new phone again from your operator you won't have 2 contracts, they will update your current one. It works like this in my country at least..

I will vote for NEO V, its better than Mini Pro.
If you think that a cell phone is only a machine for you which must perform good then can go for Samsung/ Moto/LG any thing with better specs. For me a cell is much more than a machine. So I will stick to SE in-spite of their disadvantages.
Look and style also matters.

+1 True, but i bought Xperia Mini Pro, There was a border in neo v which ruined its design, but it has the same processor of 1ghz right? But im loving my XMP Its awesome in spite of its small screen.
