Are you being serious here or just a fanboy? If anything Motorola should learn from SE. Motorola have gone back to profit of $1mil,only after bending the accounting standards or else they would have a loss!! SE have more market share than motorola and had profits of $60mil+, which is 60 times that of moto.

        "And yes to LG,they also need to make good phones otherwise there number 3 position as world handset manufacturer would not be justified." LG have no good phones, they just spam the market with cheap copy/clone phones to increase market share. Thats why LG made more than $200mil loss last quarter.

                    This is old news, the black x8 is already on sale at Portugal Vodafone for 2 weeks already!!! For 150 euro I doubt you can get any other nice android phone as pay as you go... well, you can get one of those incredibly ugly and nasty LG's like that gt540 but that poor guy is not even close of the x8, that thing is hideous...

                        SE have been slow in providing updates and that is a fact,they are losing money and market share because of samsung,htc,apple and rim.

                                    2.1 before the end of the year!!!!??? S.E. what with you guys?? we were told october. then November.... now we are hearing December??? for an out of date system. i am completly disappointed with S.E.'s abilities at this point. I will be ditching my x10 and using it to warm my coffee with the appropiate apps. thats all its good for at this point.

                                    btw, one of the sellign features of the 2.1 update is to synch contacts with faceboook update pocs... so it will always be those contacts most recent FB picture calling you... to me thats REALLY annoying. I go out of my way to have the perfect picture for my contacts on my phone. i dont want it to change hourly with every goofy update ppl do.

                                    they said nothing about correcting Mediascape to be able to actually utilize the playlist section. Also, mediascape's "friends" recognition fails. everytime you turn y our phone off it recets and loses all the information or mixes up all the faces. a completly useless tool. mediascape is ridiculously laggy "Loading" pictures rather than gracefully flicking throough them. this has not been approached in any of the update information.

                                    the camera is SLOW to load. by the time the camera is loaded, the moment for the perfect shot is passed. and once you take a picture the refresh rate to take another picture is roughly 9 seconds... waaaaay too long. 2 out of 10 pictures DOES NOT save properly. if you go to view the picture it says: "Photo is unavailable, click ok to delete".... TOTAL FAIL 20 percent of "special moments" never even survive the picture taking process. has this been looked at or fixed?

                                    im thinking S.E. has twiddled threir thumbs far too long over all the wrong things. we will be left with again outdated software that has corrected none of the real glitches of the hardware/software.

                                    id rather go without live wallpaper in exhange for having pictures save properly. why have a 8 mp camera if my shots are corrupted by the phone itself?
