The transition between splines is pretty slick, the tiles leaping off to one side with new tiles jumping in. Presented as individual tiles, it offers to integrate a number of 'splines' which you can pick and choose between, and navigate between across the bottom of the page. Timescape is essentially a social networking timeline. Once such example is the addition of the Moxier suite to boost the email offering.

Sony Ericsson told us that they had covered some of the 2.1 changes with tweaks of their own, but we'd rather see the core Android version being the most up-to-date, rather than something bolted on to the side. Some of these changes are substantial, like the camera interface, and others minor, like the keyboard changes. Like the Motorola Quench, the Xperia X10 has been customised heavily.

Android geeks will despair (as they will with the still-to-appear and even more outdated Motorola Quench) but for your average consumer, they probably won't worry about software versions so much. As we've seen with other devices, this means that you will find yourself waiting for Sony Ericsson to push out the latest Android updates. Some might sniff at the use of Android 1.6, however, when rival devices are offering the latest 2.1 version. Press and hold the home button and you get the normal shortcut panel. Press and hold the menu button and the keyboard will pop-up, which seems to be a system-wide feature. The right-hand side offers up a volume rocker (which doubles as the digital zoom) and a dedicated button for the camera. These give you menu, home and back, with no sign of the normal search option that we find useful on Android devices. Running across the bottom of the X10 below the screen at the three control buttons. We're not sold on the flap - given that some people will have this phone for 2 years on contract, and the frequent charging it will need, we think the flap is just going to be irritating. We also found the in-call volume to be a little low, so we were forever repositioning it to get the speaker in the best position to hear the caller.Īcross the top of the device you find a standby/power button, a central 3.5mm headphone jack and a Micro-USB connection hidden under a flap. There is, unfortunately a sharp edge running across the top of the device, which can dig into your ear when you are making a call. The curved edges to the rear means it sits nicely in the hand: it is a nice device to hold.

A chrome-effect layer runs around the edges dividing the two halves of the device.

We actually like the back of the device however, with Sony Ericsson choosing a matte black tactile back, so it stays free from fingerprints.

The build quality is reasonable, but it doesn't have the strong design that the HTC Desire has and the use of plastics rather than metals sets it apart from that device. So from a hardware point of view, the Xperia X10 looks competitive.

You also get all the connectivity you'd expect: there is the HSDPA connection, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and GPS you get those accelerometers to reorient the screen, a proximity sensor and a light sensor. There is 1GB of internal memory which will get you started for storage, with an 8GB microSD card bundled in the box too.Ī number that is sure to grab headlines is the 8.1-megapixel camera around the back, the highest megapixel count in an Android device to date, matched by the yet to appear HTC Evo, an indicator of where Android handsets might be heading with their cameras. It is big on the inside too, with the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the chip responsible for powering many of the current top rung devices. That puts it larger than the HTC Desire and the Acer Liquid, pushing towards the massive HTC HD2 and the HTC Evo. With a 4-inch screen it's a big beast, measuring 119 x 63 x 13mm and weighing 135g.
