Detailed review
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is a well thought out phone, but realistically tested, not the best. The quality of materials here is poor, and the included apps and customization is terribly bogging, albeit usable. Sony Ericsson did not put their all into this, and it will only see the light of day of Eclair, but never Froyo.
