The editors didn't like
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Android 1.6 is outdated
Android 1.6

Rating
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Outdated Android 1.6 OS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
And you must use a third-party app for Outlook calendar syncing
Lagging software
Very weak camera flash (practically useless)
Integration of social services that is not good enough
Sony Ericsson expands on Android's excellent web browser with its huge 4-inch screen real estate and a first-class multimedia experience, but Timescape needs improvement.
Impressive 4in display, sleek design, visually impressive UI, Mediascape app much better than regular Android offering, 8-megapixel camera
Largely plastic build, sluggish performance, Android 1.6 rather than 2.1, keyboard isn't as polished as the iPhone's, no multitouch
We really want to like the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, but as it stands, it has too many niggling issues to recommend. If Sony Ericsson upgrades its software to correct the performance issues then this will be a very impressive smartphone...
Sleek, flowing design fits right in your hand, Crisp, large 4″ capacitive touch screen, Fantastic UI, Social Integration, 1GB internal storage, with 32GB (capable) SDcard slot, 1GHz SnapDragon CPU, 8.1MP Camera
No Multitouch (never will be), No FM Radio, Only 65K colours in the screen (16M capable with Android 2.X), Fairly weak loudspeaker, Turns itself on when charging, making charging the device take years

Abstract: Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 is packing some serious heat when it comes to hardware. Any phone with a 4-inch screen, an 8.1-megapixel camera and a grunty 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is bound to induce at least a little gadget lust in most people....
Interesting form factor - 21:9 display great for specific movie content,Premium build quality,Camera works well in well-lit situations,Useful software additions and a generally clean experience
The 21:9 form factor doesn't make sense for most content,No waterproofing,Battery life not brilliant,Shutter lag with the camera,Performance could be better,Distracting bezel at top of screen
The Sony Xperia 1 is the most exciting of the three Sony smartphones announced at Mobile World Congress 2019, offering all of the company's latest and greatest features. That's not to say the Xperia 10 should be ignored though.For £329, the Xperia 10 give...
Abstract: Sorry to sound like a broken record (OK, a corrupted MP3 file, to update that cliché) but – and bear in mind the iPhone 4G may well be out by the time you read this – that's just the way it is in the tough mobile-phone world. And so to Sony Ericsson's Xp...
Weighing 130g, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a pretty slim device, with a sharp, sleek design. At the front, it's quite angular and at the back, it's curved to allow for it to slip into your pocket easily.Its huge 4-inch WVGA display is rather crisp ...
Abstract: With the kinks ironed out of early versions of its latest smartphone and custom Android skin, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 finally reveals itself to be a contender in the blood-soaked gladiator floor of the smartphone world. And this model should have su...

Given the problems with Windows Mobile devices from Sony Ericsson, I wasn't expecting too much from the first major Android venture. However, it's a fairly solid performance. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has a few rough edges – it needs an optical trackba...
