The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 offers a slick, user-friendly design with a solid feature set and good call quality. Data performance was uneven, however, and the Timescape application and keyboard miss some details.
Read the full review →The Xperia X10 impresses with a slick design and a great camera, but its lack of multitouch and its adoption of an outdated version of the Android OS prevent it from challenging other high-end Android phones for best in show.
Read the full review →Sony Ericsson's Android phone has state-of-the-art hardware, but it's dragged down by old and sluggish software.
Read the full review →A decent camera and beautiful screen are just the beginning for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which is packed with juicy hardware features.
Read the full review →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.
Read the full review →Packed with the tech specs to make it look good on paper, unfortunately the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 doesn't measure against its lesser-specced rivals.
Read the full review →That’s right – the XPERIA X10 is the first Android to roll off the Sony Ericsson assembly line, hard as it might be to believe. But it certainly is not the kind of the phone to quietly disappear in the crowd of first-generation droids.
Read the full review →...a slew of (often much cheaper) phones have appeared that are better than this one - and great phones like the HTC Desire are still the same price with much better performance.
Read the full review →If you're new to the Android game and don't mind waiting for the 2.1 update to hit, then Xperia X10 is currently a good entry-level option. However, for only $50 more you can get a much better overall device in the Samsung Captivate.
Read the full review →As a smartphone user for many years, i have lived happy with my iPhone 3G, after disasterous HP Ipaq 614c, and before that a long range of fairly good ipaq and winmo phones. Some Pxxx series SE, and a Palm. So i had high hopes for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. After about one month of heavy...
Read the full review →This is a phone that looks very good. but is quite disappointing once you start to use it. Sony has completely destroyed by the UI by taking a fairly user friendly Android OS and instead of making it easier like HTC. they have made it more complicated. They also used up a lot of memory with their...
Read the full review →This was my first venture into smartphones in 2010, and it kind of left a bitter taste towards Sony Ericsson in my mouth. The phone is good, believe me, but the overall feel of it seemed a bit slow and clunky. It is the minor things that make me wonder why Sony adds so much of their UI...
Read the full review →The camera settings make me feel mentally obtuse. I have yet to fiddle with white balance in the camera settings. So colors or contrast are often off for me. I put a plastic case on the phone and so the shutter of the camera has some difficulty with engaging for snapping the photo. Also I have...
Read the full review →This is a very good phone despite the limitations of the Android 1.6 OS (2.x update coming later in the year). If you're a first time Android user then you probably won't even notice any perceived shortcomings. The screen is bright and beautiful, the device is nimble when handling most...
