Can you comment on the dynamic range, please?
Currently the X8 is my favorite to replace my old phone, but the use with a headphone makes me worry with just 75dB - especially at the low end of volume. I wonder where the limitation of the dynamic range comes from: either small maximal output voltage or high floor noise. Especially the latter is distracting with sensitive headphones (e.g. in-ear 16Ohms like the Sennheiser series) in a quiet environment listening to classical music.
It would much help to publish the floor noise level when the headset is connected and the music is playing a "muted" file. It is not sufficient to measure in "paused" mode as the units sometimes are muting the audio output in that state.

The phone comes in different package from different markets. The phone I bought for the gf had only 1 colour which was stated on the box. I know some packages come with all 4 or 5 colours.
In all honesty to the people complaining about X8 not having froyo, you have to realise that at this market segment (screen size, hardware and price) no one really cares if its 1.6 or 2.2. For most people here debating this (including me) yes X10 should really have at least 2.1, but its not an issue for X8. People in this market will care about colour, size of phone, style, screen etc and thats about it. They are not gonna go root and run benchmarks on an X8 segment phone.
Also I considered galaxy 3 and wildfire with X8 and I choose X8 because its HVGA and not QVGA which I believe is much more important than 1.6 v 2.2. Most reviews mentions QVGA is similar unbearable for android.

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2010Completely pointless to release Android 1.6 devices today. ... moreI agree, although I'd take it one step further.
Android devices should now not be shipped with anything less than 2.2
It's the latest version. Why keep churning phones out all the time just to get them onto the market with an outdated OS. Spend a little more time - put 2.2 from the outset & do the testing - sales will be far higher!.
At the moment it's like buying a brand new PC running on windows 98.
Unacceptable!

I think once this phone is rooted and a new ROM is made it should be okay. Only thing that disappoints me is no multi-touch.

Completely pointless to release Android 1.6 devices today. This should have shipped with the 2.1 update the X10 is getting by the end of the month. If it wasn't ready, it should have been held back. Simple as that. What a mess... Sony needs to get this stuff sorted, and quick. It's not a game anymore. If you don't bring all your cards to the table, you're going to lose again and again. HTC, Samsung, and etc aren't sleeping in the Android market... Sony needs to step up or get out.

For me it was a choice of specs and cost followed by the user experience. Needless to say, the ZTE came out on top so I went for that - especially @£99!
