26 March 2010
Sony Ericsson have been working on the X10 for quite a long time, taking the utmost care to make sure its software offers the best user experience possible. They wanted... Retested image and audio quality based on latest firmware

i've noticed lately, GSMARena has been so biased about SE products. almost every site that reviews phones tell that this X10 is an achievement, remarkable, breath-taking and spontaneously fantastic; yet, they manage to imply that the downsides of this phone exceed the good ones...

i will terribly buy this phone no matter what... maybe on 10/10/10 it would sport an Android 2.1 or better OS, and that would be astounding!

      You missed the face recognition in the camera review, as the the cam can automatically recognize a face and link it to its contact.

              Sony Ericsson admitted that Multitouch will NOT be coming to X10, this is not just a software issue but hardware issue as well. Rooting it to 2.1 will not solve the Multi-touch issue.

                David, 27 Mar 2010I think something must be wrong with the audio testing. It ... moreI was going to get the X10 until gsmarena published their audio test on it. I'm hoping it is only the pre-release version with the audio quality problem. SE's always made nice Walkman phones. To have the X10 have mediocre audio is just unacceptable.

                  the hardware is very capable, it's just the software that's outdated, am getting this phone once the 2.1 firmware update is out

This is because it has a dedicated flash video player. But what no flash support means is 'no flash support in the browser', so you wont be able to watch flash content embedded in webpages, for example you cant watch youtube videos from the browser. When you click on a video to watch, it will open the flash video player and open the video in it.

                                But SE's support will make it fail.

                                Expect bugs and crashes.
