Very practical, but Slow!

Phone owned for more than a year

This is my first smartphone and I bought it because it was cheap and practical por everyday use.

However now my demands have grown and this cellphone is not what a over-20 guys would like to have.

It is not that bad, but I would like to have a better experience for the price I paid for it despite it was an average smartphone for its price.

The title says it all "Mini but PRO"

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I bought this fone to have first time android experience,for stylish look & QWERTY. But i have got something more than what i expected with this phone. Initially this phone doesn't seem extraordinary to us but the real magic starts when we visit the android market.There are hell lot of applications but some apps are too good to en-light ur fone. Especially those live wallpapers n theme launchers for all those who stress upon personalizing. It's touch screen is best i have seen, with bravia engine installed it has awesome picture quality & sound quality is juss too good....But the main problem is its battery performance, its good if all the data services such as GPS, internet is off.It hangs a bit if too many applications are installed. Also as SE said it won't upgrade beyond androis 2.1 so u can't install apps in memory card :( !

But for me battery is not a big concern coz i take with me my charger evrywhere i go. My recommendation is to buy an extra battery :P that wud really solve ur battery issue. Overall I am something beyond "being satisfied", if u are a tech savvy like me u will absolutely luv this one !

My recommended apps for this mobile:
appmonster(u can save the setup file of app in SD card using this),
Go launcher ex(advanced personalisation),
Flashlight,
Adv. English Thesaurus dictionary,
Bluetooth file transfer(file manager),
Convert pad(huge collection of conversions),
Easy tether(net thru pc), My tracks, Tube mate(dwnld youtube vids)...

100% Better than symbian! I love it!

Phone owned for less than a month

I used to be nokia fan, but since I use Android, it's totally different, sync my contacts with facebook, nice camera (even if it's simple!), the music player sounds awesome and quite loud. The qwerty keyboard it's nice too, reception quality is good (at least here in Costa Rica), the screen is very responsive, and you can find interesting apps in the android market.
The only thing I don't really like about is the UI, I mean it is really Fast when you don't have many apps, but I have A LOT of apps, so when I turn the phone on, the UI gets really slow, so i have to use the Advanced Task Killer because the list of apps its huge, I find usually: facebook, roadsync (which I don't use), email client,and other apps, but thats it, and does not happen all the time. Actually when it gets slow, just open the task killer and thats it, the phone gets faster immidiately.
The other thing is the default e-mail client, it crashes a lot, but is not really good, I prefer to use K9 mail, much better.
The battery since I bought it I didn't expect too much about, but anyway I'm surprised, it lasts around 2 days when data trafic is off, but when I use it it lasts a day, but you get used to used. The firsts 10 charges the battery lasts nothing, but a few days later it's a totally different thing
Definitly a phone for those who like to share via facebook, twitter, text a lot, NOT FOR those who like to stay away from the power outlet.

Neat little phone, some limitations

Phone owned for less than a year

I got this phone a few months back because I was interested in the Android OS. The first thing I did was upgrade to software version 2.1, and this is where I address my first issue with the phone. Based on numerous sources, the Xperia x10 line will NOT be able to upgrade beyond version 2.1. This bothers me greatly as I am quite obsessed with trying to stay up with the most current technology. I keep hoping Sony will come out and say that's not true, but I very much doubt that will happen.

Call quality and reception are things I have had minor issues with, I have noticed dropped calls that seem just slightly more frequent than previous phones I have had. It's not happening often enough to anger me, just to where I noticed it.

The internet works great, I pull up videos on YouTube for my daughter, check my Facebook, email, local weather, etc etc and speed is never an issue. The speed of the phone, however, leaves something to be desired.Applications take a little more time to load than I'd like, as does the home screen when going from landscape view to normal.

who said small isn't powerful?

Phone owned for less than 3 months

my mother bought this phone for me because i got good cgpa and after using it for like one month and a half, i am bravely enough to say that this is the coolest phone that i ever have. although it is small as a smartphone, it works just fine like many other big smartphone. though the screen is small and if you texting using by touching (T9 mode), QWERTY pad is really helping you to type message comfortably, after it has been updated to the OS android 2.1. i don't think it has any problem with bluetooth and many other problems that the previous owner with OS android 1.6 had. the reception is quite good unless you're not in the suburb area. internet is just fine.what i don't like about my phone is the battery performance. i can be considered as an avid internet browser and this phone can only stand for about 5-6 hours if i am online. so, if you have extra money, do buy extra batt:D another disadvantage is the camera cannot zoom although it is 5MP. overall, this phone is awesome because it small, compact, and stylish.

troubles in the 3rd world

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I bought this phone because I was curious about it, I all ready read this morning this phone won an award in Europe, but at least here in Mexico . . . what can I say, the signal is awful, it goes away and comes back several times in the day, the battery lows down quite fast and i do not use internet, it is supposed that android 2.1 is ready for this device since 01/nov/2010 and I have already tried to update more than 6 times in both ways (PC and mobile with wi-fi) and it doesn't update; in the 6 times i made a back up and it never restore the information I don't know if it's the phone or the network and service here in Mexico but at least in here I will not recommend this mobile. And it is expensive, at least for 3rd world's economy ($5500 mexican coin) the only thing I appreciate is the qwerty keyboard it is really comfortable.
