Looks like SE are releasing a new model based on the X10, the X8 (Code name Shakira).
Here's the link:

Looks very nice, but a bit bulky...

they should rather focus on the problems of the old phones instead of producing new phones (and new unhappy consumers)

Very True. I think they'll losing in touch with the original Xperia line. I mean, what ever happened to Johny X? (he was supposed to be continued with the next Xperia phone). Also, the Xperia X2? Really.... it seems like it never existed. I'm glad there is a strong community for the Xperia X10, and the X1, probably the only thing keeping both phones alive. But, with sony introducing the X10 mini, mini pro, and X8... They're becoming the next (old) HTC... or HP or something....

Update necassary?

How do you think about X2 now? I already check and still no update. Do all X2 users think no need for another update or what?
Thanks

I'm afraid that no MR3 will come, but I strongly hope for a couple of bugfix.
The phone is now stable and usable, but there is a large room for refinements.

X2 is better phone then when it first came out in january but its still noway near complete.
even if the phone was like this on january and then got a couple of updates it wouldnt justify its price unless if it would work flawlessly.
the general importer of SE for Slovenia still sells it for 550€ and galaxy I9000 costs around 600€ (I9000 got european smartphone award 2010-2011, X2 is a bad joke).
if you pay €500+ you need it for work (email and internet work fine but calls get weard sometimes and its anyoing and embarrassing) or for showoff (if you use the slideview or the panelmanager alot it will freeze soon or later and embarass you in front of people).
SE has to do what he should. if we have to pay for thair product they need to make X2 work as it should.

X2... bye-bye
Just say bye to dear X2.
Just blame myself so fool to trust this X2.
Now I am going to consider to change with X10.
Senior, Any idea the difference between X10,X10mni,X10 mini pro? Of course about the OS?
And I review to another thread, They are debating about android and apple. But in this case I never ever think of using MAC because of my own reason. But... Senior, Can some one tell what is so special about Apple 4?
Is it true about big different between Android 1.x and 2.1?
Will X10 dissapointing again like X2?
Is there another good smart phone to suggest?
Thanks.

For me, I will never consider to ever buy a Sony Ericsson product in my life.
So, stay away for the X10, X10 mini, or whatever.
Cheers.

May be the problem is not SE. But it is about Microsoft or may be about WM 6.5.3.
But believe me, SE is still good phone.

Hello friend, i'll suggest HTC Desire. If you go to the SE blog, you will see a lot of disgruntled x10 users as well. That is why SE has disappointed me so much. I therefore decided to try the HTC Desire, and i'm not regretting it at all. The device is very responsive! And the Android OS is lovely, and there are lots of free apps in their appstore. The only thing i've found disappointing about the Desire is its speaker phone. The volume is a bit too low. Apart from that, every other thing about the phone combined with the OS is just LOVELY. Cheers

In my experience, there are always dissatisfied users with any phone. If you wander into any forum here at xda, you will find different opinions.
On to android. It's a very nice operating system. It was made for touchscreens. The X10 is a great phone. Sony ericsson did a good job with 1.6 and soon will be updating to 2.1. That much is guaranteed.
With 2.1, you will get native exchange support. It will support more colors for the screen; 16m colors. You will get access to more apps that are only compatible with 2.1 and up such as google earth, advanced voice search, and other third party apps. You can have multiple google accounts and native facebook sync.
I have both the X10i and the Nexus One. I will say, hardware wise, the X10 is the better of the two. It could have used an optical track pad, but it isn't as important since I have the swype keyboard with a software dpad. The nexus one has the most software features since it has 2.2 but is buggy. I guess what I'm trying to say is the X10 is a really nice phone to use if you don't mind being a little behind with the OS version.
If you are really interested in any phone, you should hop into the different forums and get a feel for each phone from what people are posting about it.

Thanks to all friends. I just buy X10. hohohoh. very responsive. I like that. The sound is too low but clear. Still upgrading. The style is very exclusive. I like that. but... don't know yet.
But one thing is upsetting, no video call.

Just like what I imagine. No update till now. May be SE confuse how to upgrade more with this phone. hohohoh.... May be they have given the best shot to this phone. And last word is : "SORRY".
But from deep in my heart, I really disappointed with X2, I feel being cheated.
After I change to X10, many things is different. in many aspects, X10 is different.
My opinion, X10 is my phone. just meet my expecting.
considering to the: design, responsiveness, camera, connection, features, display, etc.
Nb: Friends, try consider X10. You will not disapoint.

Updates on X10 are also crap: We are not alone

Not related to X2 directly, but, a new sign that SE is one of the worst compaines in phone's market.

Poor guys. They doesn't know what are waiting when the 'already-delayed' Android 2.1 arrives...
Jolo.

i;m fully agreed with you the worst compaines in phone's market.

I wonder if we should take it as a good or bad news.... It appears that X10 series has been SE's jewel for the moment, and if its 2.1 update has been delayed so much, X2 would certainly be in the forever waitlist for any kind of movement! Besides, you know what, X2 has been pulled out of the market in Hong Kong! I happened to be one of the stupidest ones who bought it.......

The worst maker in this regard.
All their flagships have problems: X2, X10, Satio.
Shame. Messy company, no doubt.

I already using X10 changed from x2. Just my opinion: may be the update schedule is delayed, but actually x10 has no untoleranced bugs anyway. I mean minor bugs only.
Trust me, it is much better than x2. Just as I thought before.still no update for x2. I think we ust admit, SE already given up for x2.

You are too harsh. I have Satio and it works quite nicely. Sometimes it even does not reboot it self randomly for a whole day!
But as for X2... poor, sad X2. It is so nicely designed phone, with a faster CPU and proper support it could be a very nice machine.

i had such a lovely tiem with x1 (valkyrie roms)
then i try to have the same with chaming x2 with keyboard - but i have no more patience. i just get the ugly and huge htc hd2 and back to valkirye. there is dual boot to anroid 2.2 (works 90%) in case you want to change in a minute.
good luck to x2 user

Want to buy Xperia Arc... but!

Hello all.
Im contemplating in buying and Xperia Arc S and i've been readind this forum to see what i can do with it in terms of ROM's, Kernels... etc...
I can buy a phone like this for a lower price than in my country on Ebay but some of them are locked to a provider as O2 for example...
I«ve been reading about Rooting, Unlocking the bootlooder, CWM, costum roms, etc... but my question is:
How do i unlock the service provider to make the phone work in my country?
Thanks in advanced for all the answers

why do you want to buy a phone that is consider to be an old phone? you will hate Sony because of that I suggest you to buy one of the NXT phones that Sony is providing right know.
Don't get me wrong I have Xperia Arc and I love it but it does not have features that the new phones have and it kinda slow comparing to others.

You can even better buy an Xperia U for the same price. It has a dual core processor, but a smaller screen.

yes get something better with bigger ram, roms, games and daily apps used are getting a little ram-heavy. and 512mb is just too small for me right now
at 1.4ghz seems more than enough for me, yet it only seemed that these bottlenecks are caused by the ram and weak gpu

When I was buying new phone, I was choosing between HTC Sensation, Galaxy S II and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S... I chose Arc S and I still don't regret that decision.
Just saying

Goodbye my fellow arc fans

Today my Nexus 4 arrives and I will say goodbye to my arc S. It's been a great year here on XDA and I've installed many ROMs. Thanks to everyone here for making the experience so enjoyable.
In particular I'd like to thank doomed151 and jjdoctor for their excellent Arconium and JJs Hybrid ROMs - by far the best ROMs for this device in my experience. Also many thanks to the fxp team - CM10 is a wonderful product and it means a JB experience where Sony refused to deliver.
My arc S has the dreaded housing crack so I am sending it to Sony for a free repair before the warranty runs out and when I get it back I will put it on eBay as people still get a good price for them. With a new housing it will be like brand new and I hope whoever buys it loves it as much as I did. The design has never been matched in my opinion. Such a shame that the internal storage/RAM wasn't more generous else I think I'd of kept it. My Nexus will finally mean I get the latest version of Android which has always been my desire. I do like the Sony UX though - it is much better (and lighter) than Sense and the awful TouchWiz but I do feel they could of made a bit more of an effort to officially update the 2011 devices with the latest media apps, etc. I think Sony make too many phones and this leaves them spread to thin. They need a low, middle and high-end phone - that's it! Three devices a year is more than enough. I fear for Sony's future as their financial results are poor and the share price at a record low. It could end badly if they are not careful.
XDA is an amazing place. Take care everyone.
:good:
