Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Smartphone (3.2 MP, Android OS, aGPS, WiFi, 3.5mm jack plug) White / Blue (Electronics)

Customer Review

I agree with previous recessions in the following points: It's a solid phone with quick reactions and good facilities. Internet surfing is super and liquid in the WLAN and UMTS. Call loud and clear.

But, and I find that very unfortunate, the battery is simply too weak. I have the phone now 2 weeks and had it hung every night to the charger. Even when I was little use (2 min five calls, SMS, short for Internet WLAN switch, otherwise off) it has evening only about 50% battery level.

Furthermore, the camera is not good. It has no autofocus / camera light and my pictures are often blurred and softened. My 3 year old N73 makes much better pictures. Practical barcode scanning apps are useless because the FixFocus. Too bad.

Also, I had gelaubt after reading the Sony Ericsson blog that Android update comes directly to 2.1. Now it was but dare again indefinitely (according to SE but still sometime "before the end of 2010") moved ... Ansich not as dramatic, but more and more applications that I would like to use (eg. Skype for Android), set Android 2.1 display properly and it annoys me that I (still) can not be used now.

In addition, you can see the apps just in too small internal memory to accommodate (with me the already full). The store on the SD card is only from Android 2.2. And it is unclear whether it will ever enter this Hany.

The rest is but okay and if these points were not, there would be 5 star. If the update is on 2.1, I'll adjust the review and the reviewer

PS the enclosed headphone / headset is not good: Sounds in my opinion, bad me constantly falling out of his ears and has no buttons or controls, so that you always have to dig out the phone to answer calls or to switch tracks on.

Ok but not great ... 2 Rank: 3/5
