15 June, 2010
After the blurry, noisy image of the rumored Sony Ericsson Shakira we finally get to see it on a bunch of pretty nice looking shots. Apparently, the Android-running smartphone will actually be named XPERIA X8 but...

If its a 3.7 or 3.5 screen and that thick this phone is gonna be a brick! Im guessing the screen is a little smaller. Maybe 3.0 and maximum 3.2

    SE 2010, 15 Jun 2010Yes what you said is 100% true! And SE are stupi* as samsun... moreSo Nokia is leader 'coz they have camera flash on their phones? Regardless being stuck with a OS that is out-of-date? Were they the leaders, they wouldn't be doing waht they're doing: opening the OS, giving the GPS nav for free... they've lost a huge share of market, no wonder why. Opening the OS didn't work as they expected, developers are just not interested, they know where the market is going (Android, IOS, RIM...)

    Flash on the camera is a nice-to-have, but it does not differentiate anything at all. At least not when we're talking about smartphones.

        So we have the X10, X10 mini and this one should be the X10 medium, I guess? No extra features, just different size. Sony Ericsson lost its way long time ago when everybody was working on open OSs, found a way back with the X10 and now just got stuck with this formula that succeeded.

        Probably we'll see the X10 Pro, the X8 pro... same SW and functionalities on the same form factor in different seizes. (OK, well, an extra megapixel on the camera might be a big leap for them.

But let me tell you the difference my friend between me and many other users. I have the courage to admit that SE did a huge mistake by not including the flash! No excuses at all!

              Unlike many samsung users back then who kept making naive and silly excuses for the galaxy s for not having a flash. But you must know one important thing my friend, samsung's mistake is much greater because they missed the flash on their flagship. Still what se did is terrible.

              And you know what? when I see such stupi* mistakes from se and samsung I just tell my self no wonder why nokia is #1, because nokia would never do such thing.

                            I think SE is trying desperately to keep it's head up in rough waters, it saddens me that there are no android phones with a zenon flash and good quality stereo speakers? If only this 3 inch screen was the same 3 inch screen seen in the X1 which is 800 x 480, I suppose they have to keep costs as low as possible

                                I dont get it, why people do you need camera flash?? All pictures made in the dark, with flash or without it are UNUSABLE. Get yourself a god-damn-it proper camera.

                                      Yes! This is for me, just the right size. Not too big and not too small. Just perfect! I was just to get the X10 mini cause that one is so cute yet a performer.
