How about a protective flip cover, like a wallet?

one thing I hate about touch candy bars is that the screen is exposed the whole time, so I'm looking for a wallet / sleeve that doesn't look crap and doesn't have to conceal the screen info. ]]>Feb 9th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Universal]]>Feb 9th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/

It looks like this is going to be Android's @geekthree

I think this will sadly be Android's Achilles' heel. It'll be sure to frustrate users as well as app developers. Instead of being able to develop the same app across several platforms, developers will have to develop several across Android. 1.6, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, etc.]]>Feb 9th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/Feb 9th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/

The gist of the article is that the phone feels somewhat cheap and the camera, despite being 8MP, is relatively subpar, firmware is not good and is probably never goiing to be good, that SE engineers are probably not up to the task, remembering how they screwed up with Idou and Satio (on the platfroms familiar to them!) and how they seem to struggle with the totally new Android, that SE User Experience coulda been a contender 6 month ago, but now it barely stacks against Android 2.1 and will be nearly irrelevant after MWC, etc. ]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/Feb 9th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/Feb 9th 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/

I think it has more to do with the fact that they were already developing with the 1.6 SDK and then Google went ahead and brought out the 2.0 (furthermore the 2.1) while they were through mid-development. Yes it sucks that they are still on 1.6, but if Google is constantly changing updating the SDK, how are developers suppose to keep up? Furthermore, how is Sony suppose to keep up?

It's like running into the problem the Blackberry Storm had. Do you release the product early with buggy software just because the hardware is ready? Or do you hold back like Google/Sony here because they're trying to perfect the software?

Regardless of the decision, people will always complain about a product they don't have.]]>Feb 9th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/
Then Google needs to provide manufacturers a roadmap and if they're doing that already, an early SDK so companies like SE that take a couple of years to develop and release their phones can have current software when they release. It's kind of insane how long it takes SE to drop a phone.

I admire teh company, but I get tired waiting.]]>Feb 9th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/Feb 9th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/
This is too common place with Android. I am an iPhone user but, I had high hopes for Android. Something new, the next big thing. But they are going to frustrate their fanbase, before they reach their full potential. ]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/
The only mobile OS that's getting regular updates independent of the hardware is mobile OS X and webOS -- possible Nexus One, but it hasn't been around long enough to differentiate between patches and updates.]]>Feb 10th 2010 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/sony-ericssons-xperia-x10-exhaustively-previewed-screenshotted/I don't fully agree. While I do think that a 599eur phone that is till yet to be released should come with at least 2.0+ (which debuted more than 3 months ago) I can't really except all phones to come with the latest OS build, and Droid Eris is a nice example, a cheap phone, with a slower processor released with an older OS build.
