Sony Ericsson X8 review Comments

Nice design but seriously let down by the software side. 1.6 Android wtf? 3.0's getting announced / coming out end of this year / early next year already. It probably makes more sense to buy a MOtorola Milestone (which has 2.2.1 Android now already thanks to GOT) than this.
Get your act together SE.

And to be very honest, its not awesome or mind blowin... moremilestone 2 is going to be hella expensive... you do realize?
And x8 once it gets 2.1 upgrade should be best phone in its price range hands down.
If you want milestone 2, might as well grab x10. 6 month since I bought it and its still kicks all android phones' butts. I'm using android 1.6, and honestly nothing I really need from 2.1 (except i'm looking forward to 720p recording!)

Thats not to say that its bad or something. It does everything i want it to do for me. Surf the web, messaging, calls, music, some games, etc
Its just a decent phone for the price tag and thats it..
However i wanted to buy the milestone 2 but its not yet available in india yet so i bought the x8 so when the milestone 2 arrives it ll be easy to switch.

Why didn't you guys mention the Samsung Galaxy 3 as an alternate choice to this phone. It's one of the best phones in its price range.

Couple of points:
Hold down the options key and you get the search popup
The X10 minis, the 2.1 software for the X10, and I assume he X8, have a "Smart Search" widget which does smart dialling

Man that timescape garbide ruins a otherwise OK phone
the Camera is useless but it could have still been a viable purchase had it had Stock Android

Guys take it easy ok! We will see the update in a week or so. OK I admit that se took so long for this upgrade but now it's ready, so there was no need for gsmarena to bash se as they usual do! Enough of this sick and biased attitude towards sony.
They praise samsung like 24/7, they mentioned that the galaxy s is one of the best devices in the globe, but did they mention that after the official upgrade to froyo the device became buggy and laggy??! Did they ? of course not, because it's a samsung. but if it was a se, it would be first news of the morning.

[deleted post]But isn't it the FACT ALL Android phones from certain brand are still running on 1.6 ONLY? Did the company "committed" upgrade ever since it released X10 back in April, when competition like Moto Milestone already moved to 2.1?
6 months down the road and the only promise from the company is "yes, eventually all X10/X8 WILL receive the upgrades". Remember, the average lifecycle of a phone now is about 9 months, and it already spent 2/3 of its time "waiting" for upgrades.
