After a unsatisfying 2009 for Sony Ericsson, with the likes of the Satio not being able to fulfill its flagship billing, the Swedish-Japanese alignment are back with their first Android proposal - the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.
It has captured altogether the makings of a reliable classic - a banging 4-inch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and it's rocking Android with a aplomb cover.
In brief, since the kickoff at the fag end of 2009, we have been charged up to ascertain if it can be the handset to bring back Sony Ericsson to the incisive end of the mobile phone game.
It's odd, but applied the big screen on the phone, the maiden thing you detect when considering the Xperia X10 is not the screen, but how shiny it is.
It's an downplayed phone, with a sharp, angular design and minimum buttons - concisely, it looks like the sort of high-end handset we'd anticipate from among the leading mobile makers.
The screen commands almost the face of the Xperia X10, and there are three buttons at the bottom, referred as menu, home and back.
Between from each one of the front buttons there's a small LED, which beams bright whenever the phone is used - a gracious touch that adds up a premium experience, though they could get a little bothering, particularly in the dark - and it looks there's no way to turn them off.
Shortcomings of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Zero DivX and XviD video replay
Smart dialing unavailable
Fixed storage accessible to the user on the system partition (you have only 512 MB for installation of apps)
Absence of secondary video-call camera
No complimentary GPS navigation resolution
Flash support absent for the web browser
No FM radio
The camera could have been perfect with an extra xenon flash.
Pale loudspeaker
Most of the XPERIA failings are barely deal breakers and most people could be ok with them. Sony Ericsson has made enough although to assure everybody that the XPERIA X10 will be on equality with its Android competitors at the time of release. Do not underestimate the amount of backbreaking exercise put into the X10 during the tenacious manufacturing process. The postponement was unquestionably worthy.
