Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Reviews
CNet "A decent camera and beautiful screen are just the beginning for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which is packed with juicy hardware features."
Engadget "Even in 2010, high-powered Android devices are still surprisingly difficult to come by. You can basically count the models seriously worth considering on a single hand, and the X10 certainly joins that elite team on the wings of its gigahertz-class Snapdragon core and gorgeous 854 x 480 display that clocks in at a whopping four inches -- a size that bests every other Google-powered phone on the market today (though it certainly won't hold that title for long)."
Slashgear "It’s taken a while to arrive, but at least the XPERIA X10 is here; that’s more than you can say about some other Sony Ericsson smartphones. US and European availability is predicted over the next few weeks. It may not be the conclusive alternative to the Google Nexus One, but the XPERIA X10 is a strong addition to the growing Android line-up. If Sony Ericsson can demonstrate their commitment to ongoing support then the X10 slots into the top-tier of smartphones; that’s not bad for the company’s first attempt at Android."
Android Central "In the end, would I recommend anyone buy the X10? That would be a yes. If you value style over function (and many of us do, there's no denying) this is the phone for you."
Phone Arena "In terms of hardware, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is nothing short of a marvellous device. It´s as easy to notice as taking a look at its specifications and the impression is confirmed when you get it in your hand. The build quality is very good, the screen is huge and features wonderful sensitivity, you get virtually all extra features you might need, including 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS (even navigational software)."
GSM Arena "HTC Google Nexus One and its brother from a different father, the HTC Desire, are just as powerful as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 but both have some advantages over the X10. They feature the latest (so far) version of the Android OS, support multi-touch and have AMOLED touchscreens and a little bit more RAM memory. However, both can’t match the 8-megapixel camera of the XPERIA."
Trusted Reviews "We expected a lot from the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. On paper it has one of the most impressive specifications of any modern smartphone. However, in reality it falls well short. Failing on basics like using a plastic screen, instead of glass, and having poor touchscreen accuracy are just unforgivable at this level. And when you add in software tweaks that add little to its overall usability you have a phone that sits well down the league table of top Android-based smartphones."
Brighthand "The Xperia X10 is Sony Ericsson's best mobile phone to date, though not the best Android-based phone on the market."

AT&T’s Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Updated to Android 2.1 You might not even remember that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 ever launched on AT&T, and a big reason why is that the phone hit the scene pretty late sporting a rather outdated version of Android. Today, the X10 can be upgraded to something a bit newer as the Android 2.1 update has been made [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to Get Android 2.3 Gingerbread [Official] While Sony Ericsson may have moved slow to get their first Android-based product upgraded to a modern version of the operating system, they look to zoom past Froyo and provide Android 2.3 to bring it in line with the crop of new products introduced in the past couple of months.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Begins Rollout of Pinch-to-Zoom Update this Week in Japan We just saw yesterday that Sony Ericsson is going above and beyond the call of multi-touch with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, but lest you forget, the company also decided after a long period of waffling that they would indeed implement multi-touch support into the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. If you recall, that phone was [...]
AT&T Soon to Drop Motorola Backflip, Xperia X10 It looks like two rather lackluster Android handsets are meeting their demise on AT&T in the coming months. The Motorols Backflip will reach end-of-life on February 2nd, while the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will do the same come March 6th. Both phones fell short of anything spectacular, so it is questionable how much they will [...]
Sony Ericsson: XPERIA 10 Line Will Get No Updates Beyond 2.1 The first disappointment of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA line was that it was leaked what seemed like a decade before the company actually launched them. Product after product was leaked and launched while the XPERIA series waited in the wings for its shine. Because of the delays, it launched with less fanfare than initial buzz [...]

Sony Ericsson Working on Froyo for Xperia X10? We keep thinking all hope is lost for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 — well, actually, most hope was lost at launch — but the company keeps giving us reason to think things will get better.

Android 2.1 Update Delay Due to AT&T’s Stringent Testing, According to Sony Ericsson The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 finally received its long awaited update to Android 2.1…in most parts of the world. In the US, where the handset calls AT&T its home, the story isn’t quite the same. In fact, while many users in Europe can do all the fancy things Eclair affords, those with the X10 in [...]
T-Mobile UK Confirms its Xperia X10 Lineup to See Android 2.1 Update Next Week While hope continues to be dashed that Sony Ericsson might actually produce a worthwhile Android handset, at least they have finally made good on their word to upgrade the aging Xperia X10 lineup to a newer (but not the latest) version of the operating system. Hey, Android 2.1 is better than nothing, and next in [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to Receive Multi-Touch Afterall The lack of multitouch support on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has been a chief complaint with the device since its launch. SE had originally suggested that the functionality could possibly arrive in a future update, but later backtracked to state the X10 flat out didn’t have the hardware and software to support it. While [...]

Multi-Touch Emulation Hacked into the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 doesn’t support multi-touch, right? SE reps have confirmed time and time again that the hardware doesn’t support it and workarounds would not be seen via software updates. The Android 2.1 update came and went, and, sure enough, no multi-touch support. Enter those zany Android hackers who only read the words [...]

Sony Ericsson Shows Off Android 2.1 Update for Xperia X10 in this Video Preview For the many Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 users who have been begging and pleading for an update to Android 2.1, there is pretty much no need to try to convince them of the benefits of the new Android firmware.
