Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 - user opinions and reviews
- Winker
- 9AA
Bought this phone two days back for my wife. A "value for money phone" I would say. To list a few good/bad -
Pros:
* A fast/responsive camera, better pictures too - much better than the HTC Hero one (hero is quite sluggish in taking and displaying a pic, and can get quite annoying) - But, no zoom option
* UI is quite responsive and works nicely.
* Keyboard is very nice, for a 3inch screen - though at times gets sluggish.
* Dialer app is good - but no smart dialing (the one found in HTC Sense UI) - There's also a widget for smart search, which is similar to that of HTC Sense Dialer.
* GPS works perfectly well (sat. locking was quite quick) - though, while using GPS Status, I didn't see the pitch/rotate information (wonder if there's something with the Accelerometer)
* Comes with a built-in backup/restore app
* There's a companion Sync Software to sync with SE Website or to software upgrade
* Real good build quality and comes with 3 different colored battery covers (pink, blue and silver).
Cons:
* No multiple widgets per screen (I suppose, behavior is the same as that of X10 mini)
* Can't put Icons on desktop/screens (so, every time you have to go through menu) - this was little annoying for me, as my main phone is an HTC Hero (running CM6)
* Don't expect too much customization (theme and color can't be changed) - though wallpaper/sound/widgets/screens can me customized.
* Annoying App Menu (apps don't get sorted alphabetically, newly installed apps gets added at the end of the list) - though there's an option arrange icons, it's pretty painful to do it.

I just bought this phone today, btw i'm in indonesia and the price around $200. This is my first android, the UI is not bad though it sometimes lag if you open more than 2 apps. Camera for 3.2MP is quite good but with AF and Flash would be better, texting is flawless i'm using iphone also, so compare to this phone texting speed is decent. Overall it's worthed the money for basic android user like me...

Ravi, 30 Sep 2010X8 wont get android 2.2 for sure so its a total waste of money. Galaxy 3 will get 2.2.This place is not for junks like u and all those people like u who like junk and use junk and praise over here. This place is for class people who owns and uses class phone from sony ericsson not junkies like u. And better get some knowledge before commenting anything.

the best phones are the HTCs, and Iphones, sontericsson do nothing and give phones with technologies which already exist, they don't innovate, their is no sonyericsson which get Froyo. It is the minimum today, they still didn't unterstand that.

This phone could be a big hit for Christmas.
Picture the scene. A 12 year old wants an iPhone or HTC HD but the parents can't afford it and don't really trust their child with a contract phone (loss/theft). Their only option is a Pay-as-you-go. £129 for an Android phone compared to £400+ for a top of the range phone is ideal.
Assuming SE get their finger out and have this phone running at least 2.1 by Christmas I can't see why this phone won't be a hit.

arie, 30 Sep 2010what is rom, what is ram?? I don't know what the difference.... ram is a operative memory for OS and applications,more ram better working of OS,rom is flash memory,you can use it to install applications and upload media content,behind 2.2 android you can't install applications on memory card,more rom-more space for installing
