Why You Should Have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is the way to go when looking for the smart phone that brings together that sleek look, cutting-edge features, advanced software, and durability that is built to last for years to come. Because of the X10 Android Operating System that comes with this product, it is difficult not to create comparisons with the Google Nexus One, as that runs on the Android 2.1 as well.

An X10 review always starts with a quick look on its 480 x 854 pixel touch screen, seeing that it does away almost entirely with a physical keypad in favor of a virtual one. All the functions and commands that need to be set take place on the touch screen, and the three buttons found at the bottom only serve the following purposes. First, the return to the Home page, similar to the way the iPhone works. Second, there is a back page, typical for most Sony Ericsson phones. Third, there is a Menu/Settings button for easy editing of phone configurations.

The casing of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 comes in plastic, which might not be the most practical material that would justify the advancements in technology that comes with it, so in this case, do not judge the phone by its cover. Surprisingly, it still comes off very modern and everything seems to be in the right place. The camera lens is fitted at the rear upper center while the USB port and power button can be found on the topside of the phone. They keyboard comes in QWERTY format and it will take a couple of days to adjust to if one is used to the alphanumeric arrangements on older models.

The built-in camera of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is not as reliable as one would hope it would be in spite of its 8.1 megapixel capacity. Neither is its video capture because it tends to come off a bit grainy. Had there been a 720p option, this problem would be a different matter altogether. Having another camera on the other side as well would help, as would a stronger bass on the built-in speakers.

Multi-tasking is one of the best things one can do with a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, as it does not lag or compromise performance. When browsing the Internet through Wi-Fi or 3G from slight to moderate use, expect the phone to carry on for as long as two days without any alerts of having low battery. It also happens to have Bluetooth 2.1 that allows it to tether to other devices once the option is given to do so. As the firmware continues to update itself, improvements are also being made. Wi-Fi disruptions are no longer frequent and self-rebooting have become a thing of the past.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 pushes the limits of a smart phone even further. What will they think of next? The integration of the Android into this gadget changes the complexion and makes this a whole new ball game in the world of smart phones.
