it's really a miracle that people are still buying them.. the ROM update support is almost non-existant, people are all moving to 2.2, X10 still waiting for 2.1...

QUOTE(MyWifeCar @ Oct 20 2010, 02:45 PM) Sony Ericsson just do not give consumer the feeling of.... software update. "Walkman phone" is just another marketing bull..But their walkman phone can really sell though~~   not like other phones cant play MP3... Classic case being K750i vs W800i, essentially same phone, but one priced higher than the other because of the name Walkman.. The ROM is even interchangeable.. LOL at those who spent the extra money for the walkman name.. |

QUOTE(mode893 @ Oct 20 2010, 07:42 PM) Well, not everyone's obsessed with the latest features, plus there's always a workaround, like apps2SD can already be applied on 2.1, no need 2.2, not that it's even a must have as X10 already has a monster size internal memory which I still find hard to fill. For me the latest version hype is just like Walkman marketing strategy, there are advantages but nothing deal-breaking. Plus, many SE fans would choose X10 for the camera and music which SE has extensive expertise on and couldn't care less about wifi tethering etc. isnt it better if it were rolled into the phone officially instead of rooting and installing apps2sd on your own which voids the warranty?apps2sd is not the only thing added in 2.2 too, there's also the JIT compiler which improves performance.. Newer android versions is not a hype, they are facts.. |

QUOTE(FallenOut @ Oct 21 2010, 09:13 PM) yea problem is the X10's hardware is fully capable of being upgraded to 2.2 or probably beyond, and yet, even 2.1 is still not available for X10.. see how far it lags behind other manufacturers in terms of support? i'm not as dumb as blindly asking for some upgrades that the hardware is not capable of supporting, but SE is not keeping up to give customers the upgrades that they deserves, that is my point..it would b btr if those were officially rolled into the phone point taken bt then wit tech goin so fast it will not b long b4 even the current android phones will b outdated for some tis is bout chasin the newest phones wit the newest versions n tat doesnt come cheap example as of now im usin x10 n ip4 put it around 1 yr plus or max 2 yrs or even lesser it will b outdated as always of cuz newer versions is btr i can giv it tat much bt the hardware needed to support it cant b updated so in the end its another new phone QUOTE It is also a fact that 3D acceleration is almost the same speed for both 2.1 and 2.2 . And even if you have apps2SD support you'll still root your phone anyway, who doesn't? I'm not saying I wouldn't want 2.2 if I could, I'm just saying many of us don't think much of it, and the Xperia line sales proves this. FACT. your point is a little vague, but i shall refrain myself from replying.. i'm not using the Xperia series, and i am looking forward for froyo upgrade.. End of Story.. Have Fun, Enjoy!  |
