Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (Android 2.1) review: Eclairs for dinner - read the full textWith a large high-res screen, a Snapdragon CPU and ample amount of RAM the XPERIA X10 is nothing short of the top-end Android smartphones currently on the market. However its outdated Android OS...

X10 is NOT a top end smartphone, today 2.1 is an outdated a year to old OS, and not having multitouch or 16M colours or not even a FM-radio definetly makes it NOT a top end smartphone.

Fully charge yesterday and i'm using wifi connection just for 10 minutes and it show that the battery level drop till 80%, wtf. Dear all gsmarena pal, please dont ever buy this phone and u will knock ur heads off.

Yes your right it was a mistake saying that the X10 was the first HD recording handset with the auto focus feature. Because the Vivaz was the first to have it.

However, if we are speaking about android devices, the X10 is the first android device with a 8 mp camera, and also one of the first to have the auto focus feature in HD mode.

Finally, don't forget that the auto focus feature in video mode is also included in the mini and the mini pro, so I think SE is pretty awesome when it comes to the camera part.

To be fair, if you first touch the slider in the lock screen you can still use the arc slider motion to unlock the screen regardless of the redesign..

Correct me if i am wrong, but wasnt the SE VIVAZ the first HD capable phone with continous autofocus? or was that mention of the X10 being the first HD capable handset with continous autofocus limited to Android OS phones only?

Why is sony even wasting time and money on this device, they should just drop support on this device and probably even offer full refunds and call it quits on the mobile market or focus on a better andriod device.. even the multi touch is no where near on this device ROFL!

I gave up on SE 2 years ago after getting their disappointing Xperia X1. Don't see the situation improving with latter SE handsets either. Bet SE will find someway to stuff up either WP7 phones (if/when they do release them).

Also, the 2.1 update brings a NEW KEYBOARD to x10.

-Vibrate on keypress
-Better keys layout
-Better text editing (zooms in on the text where word suggestions go)

Well after reading the review, I am soooooo SAD!!!! i was hoping like: please make this real better please!!!....and what a bluff!! multitouch out, 16 million colours out... I discovered HTC desire HD in stores, that's the real phone, if I could I would change mine X10.
I believed to much in Sony, to much in the update, to much in the adds for this phone...to bad!!
Unless they make the update to Froyo for this X10, which would be a miracle!!!!

7 touch screen phones in a row. There're all the same. They have limmited usefulness as a phone due to lack of touch typing, difficult one-handed operations, diffuculty in entering numeric tones during a conversion with a computer.

remind me why touch Screen phones are better...

Great phone and great review as well!

I think the phone may not be the best true, however, it's still a nice alternative and it offers a lot. And after running 2.1 the phone seems much better, faster and snappier!

Thank you gsmarena, I think I can safely recommend this phone after this review :)

I am giving up on Sony and Android and waiting for the new Sony Windows 7 phones as I tried one out in the shop and it was lightning fast with no lag plus xbox live!

Too little too late sorry, I've left the old fashioned Android train and it looks like Sony will too.

Also, text message interface got a great facelift =)

As well as the phone-book and dialing.

Regarding the Arc-Sweep to unlock phone.....

Its still there!! I caught myself still doing the arc-sweep, and it'll still unlock the phone, as long as you start at the lower left corner. Try it out =P
