Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 GSM Smartphone Reviews

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 GSM Smartphone Reviews. The X10 is a good 'wanna be' product thats typical of Sony; could be a whole lot better - but lacks the overall punch here. The facts: It'll drain your battery like Obama did to our economy. 2)The Android OS that ships on it is pathetically outdated and is marred by imperfections and stagnation that trips up at odd times. 3)Has no 'real' way to kill an app easily like (as I hate to make a reference here...) the iPhone does. 4) And probably the most important thing here presenting it in a full unbiased tone - simply lacks functionality refinement compared to the iPhone's interface and touch sensitivity for correctness on exact touch location recognition.

The phone itself -- IS ROCK SOLID! This is a huge plus and the music earbuds that come with this are impressively impeccable! Sound is truly ONE of the strong points on this phone. Sony by no way impresses me after the 90s and this product is no exception. It lacks just the right amount of overall polishing that the iPhone delivers amazingly well and rightfully puts the Android OS at a clear sub-standard venue. Don't get me wrong; I'm NOT an APPLE fan by no means, but product vs product, the Sony Xperia simply is not polished as people make it out to be.

I think a better marriage would be for Sony to substantially push the LATEST Android OS out as being mandatory. Not sure if they could do this, but clearly other phones with the latest OS are amazingly better in touch interface capability

Had it for 3 months and started malfunctioning like many other users. This phone suffers from different serious problems on both the hardware and software fronts. the software is outdated and won't be updated for months to come if ever. it's battery draining and useless. the hardware is supposedly great on a specification sheet, but in reality the phone suffers from a very low in-call volume, almost unusable outside or in bust streets, the battery lasts for a day max, the phone is also the source of many problems for it's users, and one look at the company's own support forum shows that several patches of the phone have defective mother boards that show as constant restarts and over heating.

this is an expensive investment, so think it through before you go and buy this phone.
