Rikard Skogberg @ SonyEricsson, who is also the writer of the blog @ http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/ said that SonyEricsson are really hearing what we, the users, have to say about the products. He say that the users opinion has a big impact inside the company, or at least that was what he said only 2 days ago.
So my thought was to make a petittion in order to try and open SonyEricssons eyes up, and try to get them to understand that we really want them to release the bootloaders for our Xperia phones.
The reason for making the pettition here is that YOU have to be logged in to sign it, not like the SonyEricsson blog that anybody can sign 1000 times if they want...
And we can easy link to this forum when we have a lot of signatures, to show SonyEricsson the result...
So now, keep this pettition clean, no hard words or nothing bad about SonyEricsson nor the whole delay and 2.1/2.2 issue, this thread is not what this is all about.
If you want to mark me or flame me for trying this, then PM me, or start a new tread instead !
I don´t think this have been tried before, but if it has then pleace show me a link to a bunch of signatures, so we can show it to Rikard Skogberg and SonyEricsson.
Rikard Skogberg have said earlyer that not even 18.000+ signatures could make them give us Android 2.2 instead of 2.1, and that can be a marketing issue.
He have not said anything about them not giving up the bootloaders if we ask nice ?
And reading what he said two days ago, things look like they have changed a little in the company since May.
Also i don´t think that any one has actually tried this before, so give us your signature in this petittion and lets try this for real if we can convince SonyEricsson to give us the bootloaders...just try...
Just write down your name and what SonyEricsson phone you have, and let´s hope for the bedst.
Hey, it can´t hurt to ask SonyEricsson nice for the bootloaders, can it
To keep this a nice and clean petittion, pleace use this form:
I would really like if SonyEricsson would set our Xperia phones free, and give us the bootloader

good idea, but I still don't get why you used this forum for a petition. There are plenty of petition sites out there

Rikard has already stated on the Product Blog that they are not going to do that
Also, when 18k signatures on the Froyo petition went unheard, what makes you think they will look here?
Wouldn't it be better to start it on their blog site?

But hey, have you got any place with 18k signatures for this anyway ?
If not then it is just empty talk, so now lets try this for real for a change...
No more empty talk, and no more "what if" questions, lets just try...
Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#

Umm pretty sure he's referring to these 18700 signatures, which I assume most of us already signed back in May.

Maybe that's where you should set-up your petition. It's a cute thought that they'll release the bootloader (lol yeah right), but it's been asked before and totally rejected. In reality they don't listen to their customers until their sales start to really decline. That's how we'll get their attention with our wallets, unfortunately not through online petitions.
I can't imagine that they'll ever release the bootloader, unless they have a change of CEO and the new guy has a significantly more relaxed attitude about this whole concept.. maybe someone off the board of google could step in and take the job!!
If they do give access to the bootloader, it will be for future models, don't expect it for this phone or previous models.
They have agreements with cell phone service providers that wouldst allow them to do it.

we don't lose anything by trying
Alan Castillo, current owner of:
[x] Xperia X10
besides most of the owners of this phone, don't know anything about OS, that happens here in Mexico
Doesn't hurt to try.. but it would be a better idea for ppl to sign the petition on the product blog cause it'll get noticed there for sure ..

Even if they "agree" to do so, it would probably take at least a month for them to do so. Let me tell you all a secret. You know why the Xperia X10 has X10 in it? Because everything SE does with this phone takes X10 (10 times) longer than usual.
Also if they agree, don't forget their slogan. Make.Believe.

+1 from my side..
i really dont think its gonna make any difference. if they are not planing about froyo forget unlocked bootloader... waste of time...really think, threads like these are totally unnecessary.
Blagus is the developer who is showing more activity towards our Xperia Arc, Play and Neo phones. However, his efforts are severely hampered because he does not own any of these devices. So to say, he's working in a void right now. Our cooperation in form of $$ could bring him a device with which he can speed up his devving!
I'd fork up 15 Euro so that he can buy a XPlay.

I've already queried him about it. Let's see...
Hi everyone
I am planning to build Sony ericsson community in google+, so we can share news, ideas, opinions, and suggestions that with large numbers we can deliver to SE and they might provide it to us (as you know SE starts to listen to their customers a while ago). This is similar to blog but can be easily access on the go along with so many features offered by google+ like making votes, sharing ... etc. And everyone can contribute (everyone can post whatever topic he/she think that it is interesting regarding Sony ericsson or any other phone).
if anyone is interested, please leave your Google+ account and I will invite you to special circle called Sony Ericsson community.
my google profile is in here
https://profiles.google.com/113070422033274639984
please note; this is not an invite to join googls+. it is invite to build sony ericsson community to share news, ideas, opinions and suggestions
I will invite everyone
Good luck with that one mate. Maybe if you took out the fanboy bit you might get a few responses. Call it google + SE network or something else, just ditch the fanboy bit.
well, it will be called Sony ericsson community
I am not sure if fanboy make any offense to anyone

Hi there,
Many people seem to think that a circle is like a group in Facebook. Unfortunately, it isn't. If you add someone to your circle it doesn't mean that they have added you to theirs. For example, if you add 20 people to your 'SE Fanboy' circle, you will be able to view posts from those 20 people in your circle, but unless all those 20 people add the other 19 people to their own circle, it doesn't do much. Your circle is only visible to you; and I think other people can see the first 21 people in your circle
Regardless, add me! gplus.to/rahul
yes you are right, but I am sure that they will figure a way for this. you know that it is just launched and they are listening to people's opinion to improve their service. I already contacted their one of there employee and she said that they have received several inquiries regarding this and they are looking into it.
in the meantime, I will just keep building SE community and will reshare all the news I get from everyone and we still can see each others comments and communicate with each other (through me for now)
BTW, anyone want an invite please do send your email as well
Yeah nice idea but a bit fanboy. What's the point of a circle when SE is updating their blog site? They listen to the comments on their blog.

I think our petitions/forums made them update the x10.
thats right, our petition and forums, not their blog
if we have an issue that have no topic on their blog, what can we do? we can make our own thread and talk about it and everyone say his/her opinion, then they will lestien to us.
in addition to that, we can discuss other phones and features that are not in SE phones yet for example SGS II
in nut shell, its our own blog and we can write and discuss whatever we want, not just reply to topics
https://plus.google.com/113439242679072612298
we are now over 150 members and keep growing
(ofcourse cannot be compared with over 2000 for xda, but keep in mind that xda has too many manufacturers and has long great history, go xda and we have started couple of days ago, we will reach 1000 members very shortly
however, I have received many PMs asking me to put my google account so they can add me, I will put mine in the main post so if anyone is interested add me and I will add you asap
see you there
I have to be 18 to join Google+ unfortunately...
Please confirm why the Profile not longer available ??
my account is temporarely suspended for violating the community standers, which I have no idea what does it mean.
and will be reactivated very soon, pm me your account and I will invite you asap
