PhoneAddict, 26 Mar 2010No AMOLED Screen = FAIL Android 1.6 = FAIL No Bluetooth v... more1. What benefits do YOU derive from an AMOLED screen compared to the X10's? Unless you are talking about Samsung's super OLED then your argument is pointless. AMOLED suffers outdoors whereas TFT drains a bit of battery power and is not as crisp indoors. So there is a trade off on either side.

2. On Android 1.6 SE has already promised 2.2 so why are you and others being so petty?

3. 384MB (256MB) Ram is more than enough to run apps or multitask. Go try Nokias with their measly 128MB and see how bad they are. You are obviously being impressed by HTC's numbers of over 500MB.

4. 1GB of internal storage is supplemented by a microSD which can go up to 32GB which has just been release
D by Sandisk. In time those memory cards will be cheap. Again what's the deal here? You complain for the sake of complaining!

5 Wi-Fi n you say? How many phones have that standard? The HD2, Nexus One, Droid and lots more don't spot that so why hammer the X10? The current standards are sufficient for day to day use.

      Ok so its expensive, here is a simple question, how much was the iphone when first released? EXPENSIVE technology wise? Way behind! Its dropped a little in price but still people want it! SE could be onto 2 a winner here and besides all we need is a simple upgrade which will happen because se have stuck to their word in terms of updating, so nokia, iphone geeks give se a chance! I await these geeks with their SMART comments!

        Whaowwwww about 157 comments in less than 24hrs on sonyericsson X10 alone? What does that tell us? This phone is absolutely amazing and its unfortunate that so many people are just scared to admit that. ironically, many of those who slander this fone with words will end up buying it... rock on SE.

          SE 2010, 26 Mar 2010I have never been in N900 forums so stop spreading nonsense... moreI have read lots of post like this one before with the Satio. Guess what happened to Satio? EPIC FAIL with lots of bugs to the point of being recalled by stores. Lets hope Sony Fanboys wont be dissapointed by this one and its ridiculous price tag.

          "Anyway, SE X10 is coming and coming strong! This will be one of the best handsets not only from SE but in the mobile world! I just can't wait to get my hands on this terminator :D

          Cheers!"

              why people come here to make quarrel not to write comments? Disgusting discussion. The phone is overpriced for its specifications it's very clear. If you compare this one with the price tag of Wave/N97/HD2 then you'll realize how overpriced this phone is. Moreover this is time of Android os 2.1 but this phone's price is about 800$ and its os version is 1.6! Does that make any sense? I also like SE. But i don't like this phone. phone's shape isn't everything. Surely SE phone's shape are always good. But we must check about the specifications. One thing we should keep in mind that we're going to pay $770 for a perfect smartphone not for a brand logo. But if you're paying for logo then i'll say either you don't have any idea about technology or you're nothing but a fool.

                in my country(iran) milestone is 700 US$ so 770 US$ for x10 is not very high price!

                  Woot! So happy that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is finally out!! This is one of the best looking phones at the moment with the likes of n900, htc legend etc. Much better than the ugly samsung/lg clone fones that are so consistently reproduced and recycled. Also features are so good and interface really fast aswell, don't just look at gsmarenas video.

                  It may be expensive from one source but will be priced differently elsewhere. And you naive people should not just believe everything you hear from just gsmarena. It's going to be upgraded to newer android software, so that a good sign! I'm sure many people will buy this phone, whether now or in a few months time! GO SE!! :PP

                      the phone is good

                      but Are you PEOPLE insane, how can you spend that much on a Phone, no phone (except the SuperSonic) is worth so much

                      the Desire, Legend/ Nexus arn't that expensive and have the same level specs, ok yes not 8mp cam i know but Sense, Droid 2.1 AMOLED Nexus and Desire..

                      Beside if you want a droid that bad the Hero is still alive for half as much

                      breath taking phone, too expensive

                        You really must be a prince to spend that kind of money on a phone with technology 6 months behind the competition.

                            These specs would have been considered OK 6 months ago but now they look distinctly dated. SE seriously need to improve their product development cycle, they are falling behind the other brands in a bad way!

                                    WOW. US$ 770. With this price, X10 should came up with Super AMOLED screen and HD video recording. But, it's OK. I'll get it no matter the price is.
