Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Unlocked GSM Smartphone

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is Excellent phone. Cover my expectative. Android is an excellent system. The only problem is the version of the system. this phone has a lot of amazing features, such as timescape, mediascape and few other apps that SE has designed for ANDROID.  My biggest problem is battery life. I spend a lot of time on the streets between appointments, and i find myself trying to recharge the phone by 2-3pm same day, and in car charger is horrible, charges very slow. 

Sony Ericsson today unveiled the highly-expected XPERIA X10 Unlocked Android-based smartphone with the new UX interface platform, a Wireless Stereo Headset and a pretty neat set of features. Contrary to the rumors that spoiled this announcement, the XPERIA X10 will be running Android Donut (version 1.6) and not Éclair (version 2.0). The long list of features include a huge 262k color 4-inch WVGA (480 x 854 pixels) TFT touchscreen, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250, 1GB of internal memory, microSD card slot and an 8GB card included with the device. The camera on the X10 has 8.1 megapixels and it packs 16x digital zoom, autofocus, face recognition, geo tagging, image/video stabilizer and light, touch focus and video recording. Other features include a 3.5mm audio jack, Micro USB, stereo Bluetooth with A2DP, USB, WiFi, A-GPS, Media Player, auto rotate and gesture control. 

Why Sony Ericcson launch this phone with 1.6 Android OS in instead of 2.2?

1. The real phone model is x10i (which I guest i stand for "international" version)
2. After received, I install Sony Erricson PC Companion Software which will allow me to upgrade to Android 2.1 update 1
3. Phone look nice, compact (compare to other phone same class); however the back cover made of plastic, which makes it look cheap!!!.
4. Screen protector also included (even x10i screen is anti-scratch)
5. Phone works as I expected, pretty big screen, vivid color. 8.1M camera with smile detection, and other features seem nice to have.
6. Take me a while to familiar with phone behavior, but once I get used to it, I like it.
7. Virtual keyboard is nice in landscape mode, but difficult to use in portrait mode.
8. If turn on WiFi, battery will be drained for a day, (but the same for Droid 2, Droid X). Turn off Wifi, it may last for 2 days. Set screen brightness to lowest level may extent more, and you can adjust its brightness by using widgets short cut.
9. So far, I will happy with this phone!
10. Without warranty, it might be potential problem!!!
