SE's Xperia X2 coming early November. Price inside

Hey,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JpyoAR3ec&feature=related
I don't know if those two things were official but this guy seems to know a bit more than we do and all he says sounds reasonable. The Xperia X2 will come in the first days of November and will cost about 500,00 - 600,00 Euro. That is a little cheaper than the X1...but just a little.
I started to like the X2, I know it's just an updated X1...but even that is a good choice. It is way more fluid than X1 is.
What do you guys think? Too expensiv? Too less hardware improvement?
In the end the price will decide whether I buy it or not...
cheers,
Kon

i certainly wont be buying it! - i'll start looking at phones though when my contract runs out in feburary >.<

Well, it should have been cheaper, with all the old parts and all.
I don't see a reason for upgrading, but I would recommend it to a new user. Although, with all the Snapdraggon phones coming out, I won't be able to do even that, I'm afraid.

its release date in the uk has already been leaked. 6 november.
the x1 was £500 on play.com on release. they have the x2 up on the site but with no release date or price yet. but will the release in just over a month it should show up soon

TC,
Just remember, you won't have the support of XDA when you purchase the X2.
Do not forget that.
Cheers.

still satisfy with X1 so i'll wait until next 6 months to see price of X2,X3 drop to around £300 2nd, i'll buy one
i dont know X2 or X3 is better,
X2: qwerty keybroad, windowmobile
X3: capative touchscreen, Android OS
others specification almost the same

Well, according to slovak SE e-shop site, X2 should be released in Slovakia in december with price 649€.

I'm kind of new to this (I've had an X1 for under a week), but with Sony positioning the Xperia X2 as a premium product, and the specs still lagging behind even other Windows Mobile devices (still the same-old 528Mhz chip and 256MB ram, when others have 1ghz Snapdragon and 320MB ram), it's going to be a hard sell. I'm certainly not in the market for it.

This phone will bomb quite spectacularly. It hasn't even got the good looks of the X3 to save it's bacon!

Guys,
Well, in my opinion, the "Xperia" line has become a let's just test our beta-testing products and see what sells and what doesn't.
If I'm not mistaken, there's even the Xperia Pureness. Lawl, I just have no idea what Sony Ericsson is trying to shoot for anymore.
Cheers.

Why not?

^bcos the X2 isnt made by HTC unlike the X1.
xda only supports HTC-made devices....

I don't care the price because I am DEFINITELY not going to get X2. I am sorry, Sony.

No x2 until se admit the manufacturing defect and poor material and fix the cracks(2 cracks) on my phone!

WHY I WILL NOT BUY THE X2:
after being salivating for the X2 quite a lot, I have decided I will not buy it because:
1- SAME ARCHAIC PROCESSOR (528MHz)
Many brands (HTC, Acer, Toshiba...) are releasing 1024MHz phones while Sony is STUCK with a two-years-old processor (???)
2- 8 MEGAPIX CAMERA
Why not include the Idou/Satio 12 MP cam into their flagship ??
I don't like this "get a great camera-phone or a great smart-phone but not both" politics
WHY IS SONY NOT RELEASING A LEADER, KING-OF-THE-HILL PHONE ???
THEY CAN, BUT THEY WANT ME TO BUY TWO PHONES INSTEAD OF ONE ???
nah...
a LEO with keyboard would be DA BOMB
As for oct 2009, and Besides the crappy quality, HTC is da way to go

the reason why they are using the 8 mp sensor and not the 12 mp is because the 8 mp sensor is better quality, the 12 mp is just the highest mp to keep up with samsung/lg.
because of this mp war the sensor has the most mp squashed into the sensor what looks good on paper (specs) but the picture quality is poorer that the 8 mp camera which is very good (SE C905).

just buy a DSLR for awesome pictures, sheesh.

I don't care about megapixels. Just give me a camera that can take good pictures INDOORS. I paid $840 because I wanted a phone that could do it all pretty well, and Xperia is basically useless as a camera indoors.
I think I'll probably have to wait 1.5 years for such a device, however.

This FAKE X10 OWNS THE REAL DEAL!

http://gg.inpot.mobi/special/X10/
CHECK THAT OUT GUYS! PISSED ME OFF HARDCORE!
This fake xperia x10 almost OWNNSSS the real deal!!! all its lacking is 720p recording and 4inch screen instead of that 3.7inch

Android 2.2 support :/, now I'm pissed off...

512mb ram dual boot too with win mobile

WTFS THIS IS.... lol im gonnaa buy one xD
it got more ram, more OSs and got 2(400mh) procesadors wtf WTF....
and its runing FROYOOOO and i bet its 2.3 capable u.u

I knew it all along. Instead of updating our device, SE has created another secret covert company to release new products and make a few extra bucks.

Meh...the only thing good about this device is the updated (to us...outdated to others) software. The ram on the x10 is good enough, and the processor on this thing could be complete sh*t.

Hahaha notice in one of the pics of the ix10 you can see sony ericsson written backwards

Lol they even copied the earphones...
and it comes with HTC Sense(TM)

LOL, I'm impressed with 512mb ram and even multi-touch support! But it lacks any 3G connectivity, max it can go is only EDGE.

Wow! Above all are Chinese! Thanks to a: I'm Chinese!

we all know the quality of this "x10"...
If this phone was to be better than the real x10,then whole world would know that.
China and small chinese factories has yet to make phone that compare to big companies like sony ericsson,nokia,lg etc.
See all the iphones copycats

I think this phone will break in less than 6 months of usage..all copy cat phones are rubbish.

That's China product for you. Use it properly and it won't break. They sure know how to pump their specs up.

I'd love to see some comparisons of these copycats against their real counterparts. It would be nice to see which has the best price/quality ratio and which one gets closest to the real deal.

WTF ..... MT - 2.2 froyo -2 processors - 512 RAM!!!!! looks like this company knows what x10 users want lol

0.o
Don't forget the FM Receiver, complete Flash capability in browser and torchlight ability with adjustable brightness (I presume it's not the lame function whereby it just makes the screen go bright white?)
Lol.
Aaaaaaaaaaand... A "Sony" phone with HTC Sense...

It's made from stock overruns when SE's sale projections in the USA didn't pan out. GRD

Samsung galaxy s2 PLUS?

A new SGS2 is on the way, a plus version. Se for yourself :
http://pocketnow.com/android/is-samsung-preparing-a-galaxy-s-ii-plus
I hope to God they don't do it, because everybody is happy with this SGS2, and making the plus version, and then a SGS3 will make fans angry.

I read that the only difference will be that the plus version will have 1.4GHz CPU..

Wonderfull !!!!! nice !!!!

If its going to be a + version, I hope it will at least be a higher clocked exynos rather than some crummy snapdragon.
Not that I would buy it either way.

awesome !!!

Lol!! i just cant imagine how the sgs2+ customers will be pissed when sgs3 is launched.... poor fellows, surely there will be some idiots buying this instead of waiting for sgs3

If one has the money then they should go for it then sell it when the real successor comes out.
But quite pointless in purchasing this if the S3 is looming despite the wait.

Well,technically speaking,my SGS2 is already better so...
But yeah,that's the point.They might as well make it with a Snapdragon.Although,if it's Qualcomm's S3 and not the S4 processor,it'll be more like the SGS2- instead of + but anyway.

I hope it'll come with the same chipset as the "newer" version of the g nexus. :3

why stupid?
I thought I had to say somethiong about the comments here. first of all I use the sg2+ since a week now. and yes it's really plu. I have a sgs2 and I really see the difference, when it comes to multitasking and web browsing. games runs better and when i wasn't able to run some powerfull games on sgs2, it runs perfect on the "plus" version.. Apart from that, I actually won't say it's a stupid thyought from samsung, a lot of people (like me) are fed up with the size of the screen on new phone like the sgs3 and they rather buy a smaller cell phone, the problem is that it's difficult to find a 4'3 screen with good specs nowaday. I guess that's where the sgs2+ comes in the game, it gives you a up to date phone specs.and a normal screen size. I will pêrsonnaly keep my regular sgs2 because of rom dev, since i think the sgs2+ will not be mod so much. but you can't say it's stupid to make this product, it's niche, but it has its place on the market. And don't forget something, it sells new for 300 euros. And i won't even bother on the materials they use cause it's like ten times better than the sgs3 which look and feel like a cheap plastic phone

Why bump a year old thread? :what:

I ask because I dont think its correct what the seller said about a carholder product designed for the S2:

Racism? Meizu makes good phones but it would probably be a nightmare getting warranty support since they are based in China. At $600 I wouldn't get one either.

It's a bit more complicated: you need to post the phone and will get back after repair...
IMHO, Meizu is a very good firm; I have an MP4 player from them, the M3 Music Card. The pure quality of the device, and the SOUND quality is amazing. Simple amazing.
The phone contains the same Wolfson chip which in the MP3 players.
Currently I am waiting for their quad-core Meizu MX 32 gb version...

what is meizu mx?

looks nice...where can i find one??

my dream phone

racism?????
that's not racism, my next purchase will be an Ainol Aurora, my idea is 600$ is a lot of money, and I'd like to spend this money to a consistent brand, I mean, in Italy Meizu has no resellers and no warranty, so this is why i'll never spend 600$ for this phone

Nice phone

here is a review: http://www.meizume.com/meizu-mx/14178-meizu-mx-review.html
However, due to no microsd and non-removable battery, putting it in the iphone territory for me, so I would not likely buy it. Also I need developers interests, CWM or something, or I will destroy the phone very quickly.
It has some good thing going for it, same 1.4ghz Exynos CPU as the Note + Wolfson dac + Pentaband (tmobile + att 3G compatible). It's what the Galaxy Nexus should had been spec wise.

Seems great. But honestly, I'll never buy another Chinese phone.

It is a great device if you want to buy it. Almost features like iPhone 4S- 640*960, Dual core processor, 8 MP Camera, No memory card slot, Micro Sim support, very good design phone and gaming graphics are amazing, screen resolution of the phone and other things are really nice if I want to buy it I will definitely buy it. Meizu is like that Apple remove all its limitations from their iPhone.

I remember the MX launching with lots of fanfare. I think they are the up and coming mobile brand in China with a focus on awesome phones.

I love plus it comes with ICS promise. :-\ :-D its about 500 on eBay. Hope it gets xda love.

I have one, and it's a beautiful device. There's a stock ICS ROM available for it. It rivals many mainstream manufacturers on build quality and the performance is ridiculous.
They are also releasing a quad-core Exynos update, which will come with 32GB of storage.
I was skeptical before I purchased also, but I definitely recommend it now that the price has dropped a little. It is a fantastic phone

I would enjoy passing it onto someone who would get as much out of it as I have my only issue with selling it is that Australia Post have an embargo on Lithium batteries, making it prohibitively expensive to ship anything containing a Lithium cell out of the country.
They aren't particularly hard to source anymore though, thankfully. There's a member in the Marketplace called 'droid_does' who can get them to you for around the $400 mark. They're only $50 more directly from Hong Kong on eBay, which is where I got mine. That included six-day UPS shipping, too.

Look OUT SGN2!

I don't think Huawei poses any threat to Samsung.

6.1-inch , seriously? I don't think it will attract many buyers. Besides - Huawei , emmm no thank's

Thaaaaat's what they said about the Note!
This device if released with said specs would outstrip the Note2.
For a number of reasons it wont sell @ Samsungs #'s tho.

Look how successful Huawei's been so far. They've announced a half-dozen high-spec phones that have been months late or disappeared after they were announced. The phone's they've released trail everyone else's with similarly spec'd SoC's by a wide margin. And people ***** about the speed and quality of Samsung and HTC's updates. What do you expect from Huawei? They could be the next rising star like Hyundai or end up like the Yugo. You go first. I'll sit on the sideline's and watch.

I really don't think it will match up to the build quality and refinement that the Note 2 has. Huawei have a history of building cheap phones. I remember I once compared my old Desire Z to one of their phones which had a similar spec(huawei ideos x5) and it just felt poorer overall compared to the desire z which is much older and clocked 200mhz lower. The audio quality was poor, the stock rom is plain and after 8 months components on the X5 started dying beginning with the digitiser. In my opinion Huawei will only have an edge over the GN2 when it comes to screen size. As for the rest I highly doubt they'll make it efficient enough to beat the GN2.
For some the size of the Ascend Mate might be a put off.

I don't know why there are so many brand loyalists here, competition is good for the consumer. There is nothing competing with the galaxy note 2 in the large phone market, if Samsung were to rest on their laurels, I don't think it would evolve as quick as it could. I hope huawei and others making competing handsets so we the consumer get a better product.

The question of buying a Huawei phone has nothing to do with brand loyalty. My last phone was a Teg3 One X that I was very happy with. I got the Note II because of its features. If HTC, Motorola, or Sony made something similar to the N2 I'd consider it. Just because people have no desire to be guinea pigs for the supposed high-end Chinese phones made by Huawei and Meizu doesn't mean their fanboys or fangirls of another manufacturer. Where do you think people that bought Isuzu SUV's and Suzuki cars are getting them serviced now that both have abandoned the U.S. market? Want to support competition against Samsung? Buy a device from one of the existing manufacturers struggling to compete against them rather than some state-funded Chinese conglomerate looking to enter the market with cheap (for the category) devices.

Seriously, Chinese designers have no clue what the consumers demand. It is small things that matters most. If..and that is a big IF, they wanted to compete with the NoteII, they should have made it a 5.6 or 5.8inches. It already has a 1080P screen and 2GB..totally unecessary for a 6.1inch? I just dont get them sometimes. I personally would never buy any of those Chinese branded phones. They are years behind in R&D due to cheap labor and corners being cut.
