dunno bout others, but i think for those who wanna get a new phone, find another phone besides x8 if u like to play extensively with ur phone..

us x8 owners will stuck ar 2.1, nthr is no other way to get 2.2 except custom roms for now (if there is any )

btw, x8 is a good phone, mine is running very2 smooth n i like it very much, its juz thts about it, nothing more..

Yup, I echo what you said. X8 is really a nice phone, except it can't go to 2.2 or 2.3 for now, hopefully SE change their mind in the near future.

It seems LG Optimus One is a better alternative if one is looking for X8.

well, i did contemplate abt Optimus One when buying the X8 for my mum... X8 wins in camera, battery life and UI (hat off to SE for having an easy to use interface for first time smartphone users), while Optimus One wins in software and flexibility... in the end settled with X8 since it's my mum's first smartphone...

Hmmm ... I am not sure but in terms of camera and bettary life, I would say optimus one should win, although I didn't have any hands on experience on it, but auto focus and 1500mAh battery can't go wrong (as opposed to fixed focus and 1200mAh in X8), but probably UI is a good one for first time smartphone user. Correct me if I am wrong though.

thanx guys...u ols inspired me...hehehe

well, considering that X8 has only a 3MP camera with no AF, i think it's pretty decent... better than wat i ve seen on HTC Magic at least...

videos are particularly bad for Optimus One... heavily compressed VGA videos @ 18fps... at least X8 can record @ 30fps...

but i guess, the distinct advantage of Optimus One would be future software upgrades... that alone can allow the shortcomings to be overlooked, and they can be patched up with new firmware...

yeah true, eventho x8 is 3mp with fixed focus, i still can get good pix , but must hav a good lighting la.. n the video is good at 30fps..

if want better camera get x10 mini.its cheaper than x8 .5 megapixel camera with flash.
superb,not sure bout the video

problem with X10 mini is the monitor... 2.55" only with a resolution of 240x320... not all apps are designed for such small resolution...

hi. can i ask what is the price for this phone (ORI)?

Hi guys, just bought a X8 and I'm wondering what's the first thing or app I gotta do/install with this Android phone(I'm new to Android smartphone). The version is already the latest 2.1 btw.

Hi there,

have you tried to update it? may i know what is the different with the current version 2.1
please share your experience if you have done the updating.

thanks.

Dun c any changes, except apps like trial officesuite n postcard.. Performance wise, same for me..

is dis fon can running dis game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=perMuqI0qdE is it true the camera cant zoom when taking the pic?

dun think so, as x8 only got single touch, plus the graphic a bit heavy i guess..

u can zoom, but the pic sux.. use 3rd party apps tho..

oh.like that.so,the game oni support the multitouch fon.hmm.i guess i better pick vivaz lo.wat do u tink?

vivaz is a symbian
if u want multitouch phone for gaming, maybe Samsung Galaxy S or Captivate will suit you.

well,tq 4 the advise btw
