Sony Ericsson X8 review: XPERIA in the middle

Sony Ericsson X8 review: XPERIA in the middle - read the full textThe Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is likely to outsell the rest of the XPERIA droids. It’s neither the best phone in the line-up, nor it’s a phone to excite and inspire but it’s the common denominator. It is right in the middle...

Overall not too great a phone but the price is fair. Had it for less than 2yrs nd it has already destroyed 3 of my headphones as they don't work on my x8 after a while but work on other phones. I'm thinking about rooting my phone but don't no how bottom line I won't advice any1 to buy x8.

I don't recommend it though. You should rather aim for 2.3, or even 2.2. In fact, I recommend 2.2.

some times it works but if i type something i get something. as i have warentty period i went sony ericsone service center without understanding the problem they said it's a software problem and reinstanlled software and as it's works some times it worked on that day. they send me back without fixing the problem. I heard that for touch screen we should not go for sony ericsson. if ur opting for touch screen go for samsony/apple iphone

Dear GSMArena team,
The specs sheet on your site says Android 1.6 (Donut) upgradable to 2.3, but SE gave only 2.1 update for this phone.
I think you mean the phone is capable but SE doesnt understand. Anyway i rooted to 2.3.3 (CM7) but now gone to Floyo 2.2 (Racht). The phone si really capable but SE does not have the confidence in their own hardware.
Last time I buy a SE phone but I love the rooted X8.

> In reply to kick @ 2011-04-03 18:44 from utMP - click to readYeah I agree with most users who got fooled like me into buying the SE X8. I was disgusted with the 1.6 Donut and Eclair slightly better. SE online support is lousy. But you got nothing to loose guys. X8 is nothing less then a Ferrari with a Lada engine. Root it and install Gingerbread 2.3. Then u can flash this phone in front of any HTC or Galaxy. After rooting you get 212MB internal memory and X8 can clock up speeds by 25-30% (but at the cost of battery life). Now I love my X8, runs v stable on Android 2.3 Cyanogenmod

Who ever gets this phone should be laughed at. There is no reason to buy it when there is so much better out there.
