The Feature Packed Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
The Ericsson phone company was one of the founding fathers of the mobile industry back in the day, but it wasn't until their partnership with one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers that they started to make the kind of phones that mobile customers were demanding. Today, Sony Ericsson have become renowned for some of the best looking and feature-packed phones on the market, but is Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 one of them, and can it compete in the competitive smartphone market?
With it's bright 4 inch display, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has one of the largest screens available. This makes normal mobile functions clear and easy to see, but it's when you are surfing the web, watching videos, or using the Xperia X10's amazing camera that you begin to appreciate such a large, quality display.
Sony Ericsson have built a reputation on providing phones with great camera technology, and the Xperia X10 is no different. With 8 megapixels, the camera can be used to take photos as well as capture video. The LED flash and simple but effective settings interface mean that whatever it is you want to capture, the Xperia X10 will give you the kind of impressive results you won't get from other mobiles, and even some digital cameras.
Sony Ericsson's spin on the Google Android interface can be a bit of an acquired taste, but it is flexible enough to make sure that most users will be able to customize their phone to suit their own needs and personality. You won't be lacking any of the other features most modern smartphones come with these days, as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has GPS, Wi-Fi, and as you'd expect, Sony Ericsson's music interface is an excellent alternative to iTunes.
With a quality, minimalist look that you would expect to see from the high-end smartphones on the market, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 certainly looks the part. The buttons that are present on the face, top and side are big enough to be found easily, but not so large that they appear out of place. The shape of the phone has been enhanced to make it easier and more comfortable to hold, thanks to some recent research Sony Ericsson has carried out in an effort to make their handsets more ergonomic.
With great looks and packed full of the kind of features that leave some competitors embarrassed, it looks like Sony Ericsson may have come up with a smartphone worth considering alongside the Apples, HTCs and Blackberrys of this world. But with its impressive screen, powerful camera and quality music capability, some mobile users will find it may have more to offer them.
