Runs Android 1.6
No upgrade for a whileLots of plasticCustom UI is an acquired taste
It’s only running Android 1.6
Which is a nonstarter for me
The custom UI software makes it extremely sluggish
Unlocked pricing only at this point
Which is way too expensive considering the competition
I hate removing battery to change microSD card
No multitouch support
Android 1.6 is outdated

Do Not Buy
Middling sound quality in voice calls. Short battery life. Uneven Timescape performance. microSD card slot hidden behind battery.
Slow. Old version of Android. Clumsy Exchange and social-networking integration. Bloatware.
Lacks multitouch
Noticeable lag
Outdated Android 1.6 OS
No HD video capture
Slow performance
No multitouch
Custom UI hurts much more than it helps
Initially stuck on Android 1.6
Rivals in a similar price range sometimes more compelling
Typical smartphone battery performance.
Despite the inclusion of a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor
The X10 can at times prove rather sluggish especially when auto-rotating.Look and Feel...
Poor battery life
Mediascape and Timescape
Keyboard takes some getting used to
Freezes occasionally
Slow touchscreen response.
No upgrade for a whileCustom UI still lags
No multitouchToo pricey given competition
No multi touch
No offline charging possible
Troubling data entry problems. Sony skin can get overwhelmed for heavy Facebookers and Twitter friends. Ancient Android version (1.6) installed. Still suffers from a few performance stutters here and there
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10's data performance was spotty. The Timescape application has its faults
You must use a third-party app for Outlook calendar syncing
And the landscape keyboard doesn't work in the messaging app
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 runs Android OS 1.6. The Timescape application has its faults

Lagging software
Very weak camera flash (practically useless)
Integration of social services that is not good enough

Design And Hardware:First things first, this is an elegant device thanks to an uncluttered symmetrical front, subtle chrome trim on the sides, and matt black plastic back – we particularly like the single line formed by the Sony Ericsson and Xperia lo...
So here we are, at the end of our jaunt with Sony Ericsson's flagship smartphone. It runs an old version of Android, features slow operation, antiquated Internet browsing, and a lackluster camera. On the bright side, the Sony Ericsson X10 offers some ...
Considering the slim mobiles of the tech world, the 13mm thick shiny X10 mob has an appeal of thin sexy look with its softly curved back. Also the lovely large screen of 4”is an absolute crag on the front.It offers Wi-Fi, GPS, and HSPA connectivity for...
Abstract: Time to revisit an old friend, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. It's not often that you'll see us review the same phone twice, but this time we're making an exception. With the huge U.S. subscriber base of AT&T, there's a good chance at least a few of y...

When we first reviewed the X10, it had a lot more going for it. But now we have to look at it from the context in which it was released: a smartphone arguably over the hill before it even set ground in Ma Bell, retailing for $150 on contract. For just $50...

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is an interesting monster. It's ahead of the curve in some areas, while it lags badly in others. I have no complaints with the hardware. It's hardly the sexiest Android device ever made, but it's far from the worst. The la...

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 offers a slick, user-friendly design with a solid feature set and good call quality. We lament, however, that the device is stuck on Android 1.6.
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. ...
