Sony has produced a rather intriguing product with the launch of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. This innovation is seen as Sony's competitor to the nexus one, HTC desire and even the iPhone. The company announced its release in November 2009, whereas, the product came into the market around March 2010. The question that arises here is that is it truly worth all that hype or will all those high expectations only lead to a disappointment?Some of The new Xperia X10's interesting features involve the fact that it supports both 2g and 3g networks. Also, its screen is scratch resistant, has a proximity sensor for automatic turn-off and even an accelerometer which speeds up the auto-rotate. If you use your phone roughly but still desire a touch screen, this might be the phone for you.
The phone has wi-fi, Bluetooth, infra-red port and USB data cable connection. As previously mentioned it supports 3G and 2G networks as well. The camera is an important feature of this phone and tests have proved it to be quite a success in terms of picture quality. This is one category in which Sony never disappoints; their products produce sharp and clear images. Although, when you take a closer look at the camera you realize it has no LED flash. This is something one expects from an 8 megapixel camera with smile detector, touch focus, geo tagging and image stabilizer. Adding LED flash would have made the camera better.
One more major blunder on Sony Ericsson's part is that the input is a bit dodgy. If you want to delete anything you have typed, the back button tends to delete the whole words and not just that one letter. Also, while typing a letter, the key pops up to show that the phone has registered your command but if you type really fast you will notice that sometimes those letters are missing in your text. Since texting is a very important feature of practically every phone, this problem can be quite irritating for users.
One thing that bothers me about the phone's hardware is the material that has been used and the shape of the product; somehow, this is not a good combination. The screen is a bit too glossy for my taste; it makes it look like cheap plastic. You might just find it appealing if you like fancy things, when compared to HTC's products I feel that they have more class and elegance incorporated into their designs.
All things considered, the Xperia X10 by Sony Ericsson has its glitches but it's a relatively good phone. It has all the necessary software you will need and a high 8 megapixel resolution camera to compliment but does lack especially where input is concerned. It's definitely a great addition to the android market and is worth its price. Even the software version has been updates as compared to older androids released by Sony Ericsson.
