Because Mizzle said something?! Don't think so. Sorry, this trollcastle will tumble when SE say something about this directly, not when yet more hearsay gets reported - and you know what, I'll be happy to see it fall, too. I'm as bored as anyone of SE failing, much as you wish it otherwise.

That's fine, I'm not forcing you to think otherwise. I'm just saying what he told me when I spoke with him earlier today at a local press conference.

Great - but do you know why this info is being dripfed at little local events, rather than being put in black and white on the websites etc? I just don't understand why SE can't commit to a more positive roadmap for the device. It all still smacks of "plausible deniability"..

The average user doesn't care whether it's running 1.6 or 2.0, so that's why they're not doing anything about it. Rikard basically said that the user experience is what's important, not the OS, and I have to agree with him on that. Besides, the primary advantages of 2.0 have already been added to the X10 by Sony Ericsson.

I'm currently taking bets on the number of layers Boinng's tinfoil hat sports. Excellent odds for 27, if I may add! |

Hmm. Anyone told you you're a little strange, Synn?

From the synn's link:
Oh, by the way. The pricing of the X10 will be roughly the same as the launch price of the Satio. In Denmark that’s about the equivalent of £480.
Isn't that great! 
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

Just hope the North American version is out the same time!

It is damn great.
Sony Ericsson have more or less made Android 2.0 redundant.
Almost everything you get with the latest Android will be found in Xperia X10.
Fantastic job Sony Ericsson! |

I agree with this, it doesn't matter what the OS name is, or what kind of number it's showing, the experience is much more important.
That's why Iphone have done so good.
SEMC have done the most important updates to 2.0 anyway into the donut, leaving out the multitouch, but that's doable imo.
Hopefully SEMC can build upon this in the future, becase it seems to be, at least at this stage, SEMC have gotten i right with the X10.
How do you feel mizz, is it a K750i?
I think it might be?
Your writeup was great, and it seems like you liked it?
Was it anything you didn't like, cam or anything else?

It will be hard to repeat the great success of K750.
The competition is so much harder today but this definitely can be the the recognition Sony Ericsson need. |

I think the question is: Will this still be the next K750....when it is released next year? |

Hell no.
The K750i was a success because it was the first mainstream phone aimed at the mass market with a high quality camera and just as important: expandable memory. The K750i built on what the S700i delivered 12 months prior but all tucked inside a neat little affordable package.
The X10 like previous Xperia handsets is a phone not aimed at the masses. Its a high end phone for the geeks or mobile phone addicts like most people on this forum. It'll be great, but i have no doubts it'll fade into the background against competitors which will be released before or around the same time.
To be honest the more i scour this thread the more it appeals to me. I like the looks, styling, i like the interface and what is apparently possible with it. My main issue is its all a bit deja vu of the P990, and typical of SE. As a company SE are great at what they do, but they dont do what other manufacturers like Nokia do. They never release the perfect handset at that point in time. Theres no such thing as perfection but when a manufacturer releases a handset like the Nokia N95 was back in 2007 for a short time that device includes every feature you feel you could ever want.
Months prior to release, the X10 does not have every feature i want. So therefore in my mind alone the phone is a risky purchase.

You could consider the iPhone just a much a "high-end phone for the geeks or mobile phone addicts" yet it has mainstream appeal.
I'm not certain what SE's goal is here in terms of market, but i'd certainly not write it off yet.

From my observations, the iPhone is a huge success because it has a nice, user-friendly UI, and it is highly subsidized, making it somewhat affordable (at least in the US). To me, it looks like the X10 has an awesome UI, especially once they tweak it and speed up the SE parts of it, but I have no idea what the subsidized price of the phone will be. Us phone geeks are usually pretty willing to shell out a bunch of cash for these high-end phones, but the average Joe iPhone user wants something cheaper. So if the X10 gets picked up by carriers and is seriously subsidized, then I think it could do well. I know in most parts of the world other than North America, it's much more likely for the high-end phones to be picked up by carriers, but for the NAM people, we usually have to pay a premium if we want to have a "cool" phone. I wish people around me cared about their phones more! Then maybe we'd get the cool ones too! |
