At any rate, why don't we just wait to hear something on pricing and carrier before assuming it's that expensive and then using that as an argument against it, k?]]>Nov 18th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/

It's just an awesome device, multimedia-wise wins hands down VS the HD2: Better videos, photos and screen, all organized in a nice interface (and this has already been delivered).
I say it's a good move by SE.

An Italian Sony Ericsson employee has officially announced that the device will come out in february and that it will be priced at €500 (that is euros!).
On another site the same guy has confirmed the upgrade to the 2.0 software on the x10 along with a better screen explaining that android 1.6 allowed them to develop the interface (Rachael) without waiting for 2.0 to be out. He added that the screen update is also possible due to the "eclair" update which will support millions of colors (in 1.6 that is not possible).

Here is the link to the video for those of you who speak Italian ;)

Please for the love of God, do check with the tech specs !

It has a 8.1 MP, Autofocus Camera w/ Dual LED !!!!!

Also, it would probably have multitouch support cause most modern LCD Touch Panels (Capacitive) Support them. The Donut update might bring it along :D]]>Nov 19th 2009 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/
Not that I make that many videocalls, but for a high end device, I'd kinda expect to have it. I missed it in most Android phones so far...]]>Nov 18th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/Nov 18th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/
So you like the whole 5fps thing with like 144x72 pixels and compression turned way up so those 144 pixels look like hmmm maybe 30 large ones?

Or maybe it's the poor quality out of sync audio that floats your boat?

Nothing quite as crap as video call over wireless cause regardless how many gigapixels and mega teslas you've got in your phone the video call still runs at the agreed standard.

Namely... This is a gimmick, please wait until we roll out the next network by oh 3-4 years, or maybe 7 if you happen to be on AT&T and then buy a new phone cause whatever your current handset is it won't do the as yet non-existent higher quality video cellular call]]>Nov 18th 2009 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/Oh an it also comes handy as a mirror. ;)]]>Nov 18th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/Nov 19th 2009 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/No word about multitouch thou...

"Will the X10 receive Android 2.0 update (for those who bought from the initial batches with Android 1.6) ?

The UX platform used for Xperia X10 will evolve to Android 2.0 over time."

Xperia X10 has a capacitive screen. It does not support multi-touch functionality at launch, but is considered for the future."]]>Nov 18th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/

Why are "unsubsidized" phones 300+, but if you buy one of the toss away month to month jobs, you can get them for as low as 30 in some cases?

Yes, I know you can't activate one on a normal monthly plan (not the point).

Aren't the sellers basically taking a chance of someone using it for a month and stopping, or are the phones really that cheap to manufacture and we are getting gouged?]]>Nov 18th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/Nov 18th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/

Manufacturer make expensive and shiny phones, sell them for $600 on their Website.
AT&T and Verizon sell phone contracts, very expensive and overpriced one, so no one wants to buy one.

-random moron like you : "But HEY I still WANT my iPhone/N900/HTC HD2/ Hero /DROID !!! and I don't have $600"

-AT&T (or any other carrier) : " No prob bro' ! let's get inside and talk. So you want that $600 smartphone ? hum... and you don't have $600. huhu of course I see... that's tough ! if only one could SUBSIDIZE this phone so it costs ONLY $99 !!!"

-Random moron : " REALLY YOU COULD DO THAT ?!!"

-AT&T : " Sure as long as you accept to pay for an higly overpriced service that I'll provide with 0 garanties and sign in for 36 months."

Random Moron : " Oh thank you, thank you AT&T !"

Got it ?]]>Nov 19th 2009 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/xperia-x10-hands-on-lukewarm-edition/
Ok, my mistake, didn't think it was that unclear.

I was referring to phones you get from say TracFone, VirginMobile, the ones that you buy in a package with a card for $60 for minutes.

I was curious why those are so much cheaper.]]>Nov 19th 2009 7:18AM
