Why are you people arguing over a phone? It's just a phone! Different phones are manufactured to cater to different needs and for the companies' profit. Whether or not it's Nokia, Apple, HTC, LG, Samsung or Sony Ericsson; ALL OF THEM EXIST TO MAKE PROFITS.

Whats the point in arguing the price and features on a phone? If you can't afford it or do not like the features, just keep the comments to yourself. You need not post your hatred for it because it lacks features on the worldwide web. Just get another phone which you think is better. Phones will be constantly improving and changing. If you're unhappy over tiny features and the price of it, DON'T BUY IT! No point complaining about how many people hated it. If they hate it, it's their problem, NOT YOURS.

This comment page is for us to give our feedback about the phone; not about Sony Ericsson and it's market share and the ranking of it. What does it's market share and ranking have to do with you owning this phone? Do you own shares from Sony Ericsson? If you like it and have the budget, just buy it. If you don't like it because it lacks features or not up to your standard, don't curse the brand. Give feedback on what you think can be improved. If you don't like it because it will be outdated soon because of WM6.5 to WM7 or to WM7.3473; don't buy any phone because ANY PHONE will be outdated within weeks.

No offense intended. All of us should revise our comments before posting them. You may end up offending other people who support or want the phone unintentionally.

    After viewing a lot of videos of X2 on YouTube, I can honestly say that it is a great device. It may not have the speed of HD2 but it still is a performer and goodlooking at that.

        Each time a new SE phone comes, the other brands' reps got panic. SE fans had never cared of what have been made by other brands

          X2 is there to get the work done and pleases eyes. Besides this I am sure if Sony put a better processor perhaps 800mhz, it will cost higher. It might have be listed as "acceptable" device by more people but than again they always have and will be something to cry about, something to degrade any handset out there, specially from Sony Ericsson. I mean if people can call X10 a failier than what else can make them happy? A lousy eye-candy OS made them happy which is made with an air inside like a balloon and nothing else. A 'all-in-text/letters' company awaken to suck more money under title of "Free" and they are all happy about that too. Those will learn with times to come that life is much more than that.

                          500 euro? are you kidding me? this phone is outdated remember it runs on windows mobile 6.5 and 7 is already coming in Q4. so why spend a cash with this one? and one thing it cant upgrade to windows mobile 7 Sony ericcson is goin down for sure they should release this way back of 2009 maybe they sold this thing better. but releasing this 2010? its gonna fail! way to go SE! wrong strategy.

                              using the same 528mhz processor is a major failure. even andriod users admit the reason their current phones aren't up to scratch is because of it (though for whatever reason they don't think the same reasoning applies to wm).

                                Also the processor, RAM, ROM matters a lot when running Windows Mobile. Furthermore you'll be spending 500 Euros on a phone that definitely will not upgrade to Windows Mobile 7.0. If this came out say 6 months ago then maybe yeah good upgrade. Probably have a good 18 to 24 months life cycle before being replaced by a WM7 phone. Now? Its just 12 to 18 months.

                                    "The XPERIA X2 follows its predecessor's steps and comes with full sliding QWERTY keyboard and a slightly bigger 3.2" TFT touchscreen. The upgrades over the X1 include the 8 megapixel camera and the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, while the processor, RAM and ROM remain the same."

                                    This is why this phone won't not be successful. No change to RAM, ROM and processor? Isn't this just X1 with WM6.5? And X1 with custom 6.5 ROM has been floating around for almost a year. I think X1 users won't have a reason to upgrade while other people will find better phones with better price from other manufacturers.

                                      Many people hate this handset, I guess it's because they know that it's very successful and they just can't take that many and I mean many SE fans are waiting to buy this ultimate piece of art.

                                      If you don't like the X2, or if you think it's the same as the x1. Then just scram( get out) because no one cares about your opinion and no one thinks your right. If we didn't believe that the X2 is a wonderful upgrade of the X1 we would never consider it our next phone.

                                      The X2 is wonderful, it has everything we want. We loved the X1 but the X1 was a new wm device and had some problems and issues. And now with the X2 our dream will come true. I love SE !!

                                      SE rules you fools !

                                        i agree with the others and gsmarena in that i think it isnt worth buying, or should i say it isnt worth buying for 500eu. not a fan of any particular brand but with that specs(somewhat outdated already), i think it should be priced much much lower.
