                its a pretty decent phone.i bought it 2 days bk n am ptetty much satisfied..2.1/2.2 updates are nt die hard requirements as of nw as thers no issues. a possible problem will ne lack of combatible applications may be after 1or2 yrs...well the screen resolution, response,speed, n built definitely out weighs the,galaxy 3. i had checked both the phones b4 buying...the keyboard is exceptionally awesome.n hope x8 gets a froyo update by 2011

                  This is what we all want to hear, not that X is better than Y. The opinions of the buyers are welcome.

                      let's wait and see if the 2.1 will fix some of the CONS

                        Bought this phone two days back for my wife. A "value for money phone" I would say. To list a few good/bad -

                        Pros:
                        * A fast/responsive camera, better pictures too - much better than the HTC Hero one (hero is quite sluggish in taking and displaying a pic, and can get quite annoying) - But, no zoom option
                        * UI is quite responsive and works nicely.
                        * Keyboard is very nice, for a 3inch screen - though at times gets sluggish.
                        * Dialer app is good - but no smart dialing (the one found in HTC Sense UI) - There's also a widget for smart search, which is similar to that of HTC Sense Dialer.
                        * GPS works perfectly well (sat. locking was quite quick) - though, while using GPS Status, I didn't see the pitch/rotate information (wonder if there's something with the Accelerometer)
                        * Comes with a built-in backup/restore app
                        * There's a companion Sync Software to sync with SE Website or to software upgrade
                        * Real good build quality and comes with 3 different colored battery covers (pink, blue and silver).

                        Cons:
                        * No multiple widgets per screen (I suppose, behavior is the same as that of X10 mini)
                        * Can't put Icons on desktop/screens (so, every time you have to go through menu) - this was little annoying for me, as my main phone is an HTC Hero (running CM6)
                        * Don't expect too much customization (theme and color can't be changed) - though wallpaper/sound/widgets/screens can me customized.
                        * Annoying App Menu (apps don't get sorted alphabetically, newly installed apps gets added at the end of the list) - though there's an option arrange icons, it's pretty painful to do it.

                                    I just bought this phone today, btw i'm in indonesia and the price around $200. This is my first android, the UI is not bad though it sometimes lag if you open more than 2 apps. Camera for 3.2MP is quite good but with AF and Flash would be better, texting is flawless i'm using iphone also, so compare to this phone texting speed is decent. Overall it's worthed the money for basic android user like me...
