Its coz..
1. Sometimes there are android terms that they are not familiar with,for example, flashtool,root etc.
I once had the dificullity to understand what each term means,but i took the time to ask google. Its just weird why people dont even aak google about the terms although the net is right in front of them.
2. People just dont want to read. They just think that they are the first person that owns the phone, so they just went asking around wanting a fast an direct answer coz duh..."i'm the only one using this phone,so i'm the first one asking question..". For goodness sake, i always check the sticky thread first if i want to mess with my phone..its the basic rule.

Open source, community and freedom to do whatever I want to my device I paid good money for
My main reasons

multiple choice of device and customization
i didn't choose android. I choose SONY and he choose Android =)
For me... It's because this is the one and only linux fork & decent OS available on the market right now. Given a chance that there would emerge a much more decent linux mobile OS(like linaro). Then I would probably jump to that instantly. But for the time being I don't see anything other than the abandoned maemo, meego & webOS.
Yep there's no devices that uses limo or linaro as of this moment.
It came installed on the Sony Ericsson X10, the Arc and will be installed on the next Sony Phone I buy.
I chose android cos of how open it is not really about rooting and stuff at first. although now that I've gotten a new phone (my old phone htc chacha wasn't really supported when I had it ) it's really amazing! and i think a lot of people did that as well, that's probably why there's so many questions, i guess. and people are lazyyyyyy xD
Emulators, Flash, Develop and a powerful customization.

For me, it was a choice of Sony vs other brands rather than why android. Either way I didn't want iOS or a blackberry, and the xperia arc caught my attention over all the other android phones (and the price point at the time).
The xda life for me came two months after my phones purchase when I saw the xperia s & ion at CES and FlamEmo's xperia s theme. Ever since then I've been obsessed with modding my arc and everything surrounded with android (and Sony xperia lol)

I choose Android because I like Android ...this is my reason .
I choose it because It has more features and It can be modified
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
If I was a gamer I would probably not have an Android phone.
Android is overheating.
But it's the most advanced and stylish OS (WP is hot too.)
mtx65 said:
Well... I think there isn't really a choice because the only alternative on the same level is iOS, which is only for iPhones. And yeah, I would never buy an iPhone, so Android is the OS to use for me. Also, the many possibilities to mod your Android phone are pretty amazing because I really like to play around with my phone and try different things which wouldn't be possible with iOS.

+1.
i also think, that only iOS is the same level with android, but iOS is too expensive i think, with their 3.5", i love big screens.
and android is available on many market level, (low - mid - high end), and what makes me choose Arc for my phone is it's design!
i just can't stand the sexiness of Arc.
Nokia N9 and Lumia 800 are sexy too, but too bad those are not Android phone, and N9 is not available in my country(discontinued early).
WP is the only possibility i would try over any other mobile OS, the simplicity of the UI, and 'stable' performance of the OS are kinda interesting to me.
and most WP handsets have an AMOLED screen.
Because this is best OS for people who are "power users" and wants to have any choice and many possibilities (apps, look&feel).

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
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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

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

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.

Have you guys seen this already?
http://rohansood.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/sony-ericsson-xperia-ultimate-concept-emerges/
Could it be true?
For me, in case this is real, it would be another incomplete phone. No Xenon flash and no support for SD card, for example. However, the brushed case looks kinda cool.
Edit: Running Android 2.4, well, that would be another good feature.
oh my wow... nice phone
i'll be honest.... this kicks arcs ass in terms of looks.... arc's design is awkward......
Damn, that looks nice, especially that metal finish. If this phone is real, i'll buy it!
agree arc design is bit weird,like a guy with extra huge forehead!!!
16 GB is enough i guess,no need for SD Card,not a deal breaker..
but hey AGAIN sony is 1 year late,when rest of the world is going to dual core NOW,they have implemented dual core only in their concept designs which is 2012
future Arc buyers, think again
i'll stick to my x10 till this baby comes out.... arc is fugly..... cant think of any reason anyone will wanna buy it...

I'll guess your first two words aren't for me, but if so, then watch out.
Those are only concepts, but I think the third line of Xperia phones will have a very similar look. Now, if you don't want to buy a new Xperia, it's your decision. Im not trying with this thread to make people believe again in SE, in fact Im against their policies and statements. This topic is just a possibility of what SE phones could expect in the future, that's all. No flamming and no 'whining' please.

Thanks for making it clear
Back to the topic... If SE designs a phone like any of those concepts with good hardware specs and Android 2.3/2.4, I'll buy one for sure. The Xperia Ultima concept looks fine, elegant and I like it, totally better than Arc
Doesn't say anything about not having a xenon flash? And looks like a genuine SE concept..
Sent from my X10 using XDA and Swype.
That whole site if full of SE concepts - atleast the 1st page is full of them.
That symphony either has a huge camera or is a tiny phone... but both the ultimas would be a real upgrade from this phone. No half step arc bologna.

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!

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.

I have had alot of phones.
Galaxy s2
S2 skyrocket
HTC vivid
Galaxy nexus
IPhone 4
Etc....
But always found myself trading phones on craigslist or selling to get the latest and greatest! But when I finally found a xperia play on Cl I picked it up for cheap and I never been happier! Sure its not the latest or greatest but its not a COPYCAT! If they release another phone with a gamepad and get alot of Dev support that be the only way Ill have a new device. I'm looking to buy one in mint condition so I can get that one unlocked bootloader and let the flashing games begin!!!
Just see alot of people mad about ics not coming but to me it don't matter I'm stock att rom with v6 supercharger and I'm set!
Not saying I don't want ics in the future but no point getting butt hurt that's how life goes!!

I got HTC Vivid and use the phone part, email, calendar, text, map, read news, listen to radio and browse the net. I had other phones such as blackberries, HTC Inspire, HTC Titan (windows) Samsung note and based on my needs, this is the best phone I had so far. I do agree that the phone gets a bit warm while using the GPS. The Google map is awesome, the GPS has been improved. The voice recognition works well. I like the notes software that came with it so I can hand write notes on the go. The screen size is perfect, you can read and reply to quick emails much easier. I think HTC is working hard to appeal to the business users and provides Outlook syncing software which is critical. I couldn't believe that the windows phone did not sync with Outlook, MS is missing the boat.
Finally! An iPhone user who appreciates other phones rather than Apple products. Sir, you are a guy in a million!
And yes, XPlay is something innovative, cool and interesting. Soon (not sure when) an updated version of the phone (XPlay 2) will be out. I think it's ability to compete in the smartphone industry will be a lot higher then.

I have a Iphone 4 and the Xperia Play and love them both, people are allways complaining about the iPhone and Android, what I think is, if you want a phone just to make calls and msg's and play some games go with the iphone, ios is preaty and simple if you want to customize your phone and like to flash roms and mods go with Android. who have an iPhone have an iPhone, who have Android have Android! Stop saying that apple sucks, and the same goes to iPhone users! iOS and Android are both great OS's, they are just aimed for diferent things

I have a Iphone 4 and the Xperia Play and love them both, people are allways complaining about the iPhone and Android, what I think is, if you want a phone just to make calls and msg's and play some games go with the iphone, ios is preaty and simple if you want to customize your phone and like to flash roms and mods go with Android. who have an iPhone have an iPhone, who have Android have Android! Stop saying that apple sucks, and the same goes to iPhone users! iOS and Android are both great OS's, they are just aimed for diferent things

I totally agree! I had an iPhone before my Xperia Play, and I'm going to get an iPad soon, but you can't say which OS is better, because they can both do awesome things that the other OS can't... I like having both

All they have said is its not coming soon. They want to concentrate on pushing the PlayStation certified side on other handsets (touchscreen)(tablets) to build the platform. People think xperia play is the only PlayStation phone but it's not and they want people to see there others. Plus play 2 will not come out till they have sold so much vitas as they won't put out a second new device to compete with there own products. Sony where happy with the play and it would be non business like not to consider it for the future

Finally! An iPhone user who appreciates other phones rather than Apple products. Sir, you are a guy in a million!
And yes, XPlay is something innovative, cool and interesting. Soon (not sure when) an updated version of the phone (XPlay 2) will be out. I think it's ability to compete in the smartphone industry will be a lot higher then.

That would be great if the xplay 2 or something similar pop up down the line! I like ios. Its simple and I see why most people prefer it. But I'm just Android guy always will be! Not saying I wouldn't get a new iPhone by I prefer android more.

I'd love to see someone put Android onto the iPhone hardware. I was watching a youtube video earlier of a Samsung Omnia I900 (windows 6.5) running Android

I've never had an iPhone.
I actually haven't ever had an Apple product.
Maybe I would have been an iOS app developer if Apple didn't force application developers to use a Mac and make them have to get an Apple AppStore account.
Anyway, I'm staying with Android.

Don't get me wrong, I hated the iPhone the whole time I had it. Wasn't a case of hating it after getting an Android. My first Android was the Galaxy Europa GT-I550 and it sucked hard. Sold it and got the X10mini which aside from the 4 Corners Home Launcher (which Im using on my Play) sucked as well. Then I got the Play which I love. All my emulators in one place
In retrospect though, both OSs have their strengths and weaknesses. iOS is always smooth but lacks the customisation of Android. Android has the customisation but can sometimes be prone to lag
Swings and roundabouts really

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I bought an arc s about 4 months ago to replace my dying x10i and I've been very happy with it, however it's starting to feel a bit dated and I don't know what would be a good upgrade. I have an excellent sim only contract so would like to buy a handset upfront, but I don't want to spend silly money.
I have installed ics and really like the experience, however the occasional lag is quite annoying. I think I just want a decent handset with more ram really, but I think a galaxy s2 would be equally dated in another 4 months.
I just bought an iPad 3 and really enjoy how nippy it is, I've been considering moving over to iPhone for my next phone..lout would have to wait and see what comes out this fall.
I dunno....maybe I just need to be patient but though I would check I'm not missing some super secret , perfect phone I haven't seen yet! Would. A Sony Xperia P be a good replacement for an arc s? Seems almost the same specs but double the ram... Thoughts?
Well as you are now forever locked into Apple as a single hardware supplier for your tablet, are you prepared to buy separate apps for your phone?
If so, then I would look at the Xperia S... If you aren't, then sell your iPad3, buy a decent Android tablet and a Xperia S.
My brother purchased an iphone4, i asked him if he new he would be restricted with apps, roms and hardware, he said yes its not a problem for him. Hes now wanting to be shot of it, every update destroys his jailbreak and it eats into his time putting it back again. In short he now wishes he hadn't gone down the apple route, although both he and i agree its a nice bit of kit just a bit restricted if you like fiddling and playing with software i guess. Each to their own i suppose. I think his main gripe is with the constant use of i tunes software for his films and movies. I rather like the look of that new hyabusa ? Very much Arc looking but slightly more updated specs, not sure it will be near top of the pops still when its launched here but that's never really bothered me as long as it does what i want it too alls good and rosey. More ram and dual core with a bigger screen will have to see how it sits in the hand. I picked up the SGS II last year and for me it didnt feel good in the hand so left it there i know my arc isnt bleeding edge far from it, butt eh screen is decent and it is comfortable, hope the hyabusa feels the same just hope it doesnt come with too high a price tag.
Well I'm quite happy with the stock ipad experience and quite happy to do the majority of my app purchases for gaming etc on that platform.
For my mobile, I don't play games or watch movies often... It's mostly Facebook, messaging, browsing etc. I know I could make do with a midrange phone for that but I like to be upto date and have a fast user experience. The xperia s feels a little too big when I've used it and I worry it will be the usual Sony affair and not be as fast as it should be with those specs.

I saw the reworked arc s, harabusa or however it's spelt heh. That would be perfect but no idea when I could get one or how much it will be

Well I don't have an Xperia S, but I have played with a entry level XPeria U, and it's Lightening fast, so much faster than my Xperia ARC S, which seems to be hobbled by too little RAM.
If you are a woman who has no time or need for Android development, who has no idea about hardware and wants something stable, buy your iPhone now and never look back... Android will not satisfy you, Xperia S, NXT whatnot ....

Errr okay, I'm not a woman. Thanks for that sexist comment though. I love tinkering with android and really don't see the point in having an iPad AND an iPhone, it's nice to have the best of both. All I'm concerned about is getting a decent upgrade which will last me.
How can it be that the Xperia U is faster than the S? That's not reassuring...often phones feel nippy when new and nothing installed. Or maybe the S will improve with ICS? I am considering getting an S as I could grab one for around £200

The remark is basically inspired from what I have seen with my wife... She's a technology illiterate and iPhone did the trick for her. She had a decent android phone which basically "never worked right", regardless of updates etc. IPhone is a dumbed down version of android with no possibility to customize, with pretty eye candy, sold at a premium price ... IPad is the big brother... You catch my drift ... I just can't believe you spent money on an iPad ... But that's just me and nothing personal ...

no problems fella. I just spent the last few hours unlocking my bootloader, changing the baseband, flashing a new kernel and loading arconium v2 onto my Arc S. Feeling pretty smug as I haven't done anything more than root a phone before... the phone is truely flying! Should last me another few months now.
Hurrah!

Sorry, typo, missed out the ARC bit..
The Xperia U feels REALLY fast compared to my ARC S
But then it's got a low-res display, so it's less for the GPU to drive, perhaps???? It's also Gingerbread not ICS....

I suggest you to try JJHIBRID ROM. I was about to sell my arc S but when I tried this rom, I decided it will be good for another half a year.

That was down right sexist. Don't judge the whole mankind by one example. I'm a girl and would never sell my soul to the devil (read: Apple). Love Linux (Mint) and Android, and I'm quite an average ROM and kernel flasher.

JJ's Hybrid ROM 3.2 was a fresh new beginning for my S-less arc. I'm not your average rich person who changes phones every 2 weeks, but I wouldn't even think about selling my arc if it wasn't for the super bad quality of the housing (cracks, etc.).

I see more Samsungs and HTCs, with a bit of Sony (Ericsson) here and there. Apple might aim the female buyers, but it's far from being woman's only phone-friend. And I see you're from the States - the weird part of the world full of parents who buy their 4 yo an iCrapper to play with. I've always found US Americans super weird people.

Truth be told I know plenty of guys, in military, flying attack helicopters, and drooling over iphones... Best they could do is jailbreak it and change the toolbar color... Whoop de doo... I played with my wife's 3gs... Simplified crap. I merely have Sony because all I own consumer electronics wise is Sony... Arc is an ok phone. But even with ion they are behind the power curve... If I were you I'd use that arc with their latest GB... Heck come up 250 bucks I can sell you my arc S. They fixed the Crack issue with arc S... Mine is brand new though
