if iPhone is the King, the X10 is undoubtedly the Emperor!!! the iPhone is kingly of features but the X10 presents supreme of those features absent of the iPhone beyond compare... the prose that I like to entail with X10 is unthinkable, lovely beyond sight and undeniably admirable!!

              Had the phone for a week, absolutley shocking battery life..yes its an unmobile mobile phone! It doesn't even last 12 hours. Thats without hardly making any calls or doing anything else and ive killed the apps with app killer and installed juicedefender. Not good, it would be amazing if the battery didnt make it unususable. The Iphone still kicks its ass.

                          On page 7 (7. Organizer, GPS navigation) of this review in the section 'Organizer is good, Office document viewing enabled',
                          there is a mistake as the review says 'Quickoffice enables you to view Office documents on your *Motorola BACKFLIP*' rather than 'Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10'.

                              Attn All X10 owner, HELP.
                              I just got mine white X10 2days ago. It been twice I had fully charged the phone, the battery seem to last for 2-3hours only when I'm keep on playing around or Wifi it. Anyone having this problem?? Why can't it last long??? Do you mind check on your setting about the phone, is it stated Model X10i, Firmware 1.6, Baseband V1.0.14, Kernel V2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC#2, Build no.R1FA014. I wonder how to check whether it is genuine model / not as I bought it from small mobile stall, which cheaper than Sony store.
                              Another problems are sometime like hang (one time I have to force shutdown & take out the battery put it back & on it again), it seem can't it won't listen to your finger when you slide it or press it.??
                              Is it good to download alot of App for Android Market??
