You'll have to know, Sola is a bettter phone indeed but bear in mind, if u use custom rom, floating touch will kiss u goodbye

Better to go with xperia p at minimal. 1gb of ram will improve the phone capabilities considerably.

Why not choosing a galaxy nexus? Its getting cheaper now and so many devs there. And you wont get dissapointed with long term support of update from Google.

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

And your signature showing you've been running it at 2 GHz...................................................
Sola was a good choice in my opinion, just don't do the same mistake that you did with the ray.
the only phone that is actually an upgrade its the xperia SX... same look, better perfomance, better screen, same size..
MM but our single core is almost the same perfomance of st Ericsson dual core chips.

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.

Why N1, Nexus S is available and better,
or Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC ( release date: April )
Nexus one is an awsome device.. I own one
But it has the same touch screen capability as X10 ---- > Dual touch
Considering the timely updates you get with nexus one... I think it is best bet.
I would recommend Nexus S
Well i bought a nexus one from google when they were available and it wasnt to long before i got rid of it for the X10 and havent regretted it yet.
Thats my thoughts.

how would you judge the two phones when it comes to the x10's 8megpix ??
xperia x10 with the all modifications.. same as Nexus S..
I wouldn't recommend nexus one because you are just exchanging for a pure Google experience product. Megapixel doesn't determine picture quality. Its all about the lens, sensor, and image processing software. Pix quality of course x10 is better than nexus one.
Go for nexus S or wait longer for dual core devices. X10 doesn't have Froyo and Nexus S's hardware doesn't perform as good as the hummingbird CPU in Nexus S.

How long have you have your X10? I wouldn't change it before "squeezing" all its potential.
My advise: keep it at least one more half of a year, and then start looking for your next phone. Now, if you can't wait and if you wish to keep in SE's line, Arc is your option, but for me, is not a great phone, I only remark the Bravia Displa, Gingerbread and the HDMI plug-in, anything else is not a big deal.
Or Nexus S.
hey guys... thanks a lottt...
ive been using the x1 only fr about a few months..
tried out most of the roms out there
guys.. but dont you think the nexus one is worth it ?? its htc after all
plus... the AMOLED.. n when it comes to updates ????
comments pls
Correct me if i am wrong, but i remember nexus one have an exact same proc with x10, which mean it's not actually an upgrade if you change your x10 into a nexus one. The only better thing is RAM. --in terms of hardware.
If I where you, I'd try and remember why you bought the X10 in the first place. I mean, the Nexus One was already available when you bought your X10, so obviously it has some qualities that made you choose it in the first place. I am guessing it was the look of the device, and the camera, right? Those are the X10's biggest distinguishing features, so I would like for another Android device that comes close to those.
As far as camera is concerned, there probably is no better Android available yet. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S is the next best thing in this regard?
As far as looks is concerned, nothing really comes close yet, in my opinion. Although I really like the way the HTC Desire Z looks for some reason (and I don't normally like HTC designs, too boring).
But why are we even talking about these old phones? Next month it's time for the Mobile World Congress 2011, during with numerous new Android phones will be introduced and some will even be released by then, with brand new hardware like dual core processors and new versions of Android that will make our current phones look really outdated. Right now seems like a bad time to switch to another phone: I would wait for just a little while longer.

no need to get N1, its the same gen as X10
if u want the best current gen phone then get HTC Desire HD / HTC Desire Z
the dual core phones will take a bit of time (3+ months) to come to market...
The Nexus One is ugly.
Stay with the X10 until dual core phones come out.

If one is a color purist like me, then the AMOLED screens are a DISADVANTAGE, actually. And it's going to stay that way until a new-gen AMOLED arrives which doesn't mess with the saturations.
Hello, i have been searching for threads like this but i found only old ones. So is there a multitouch or a dualtouch (offical or unoffical way) in X10, and about 16M color? Yes or no?
Dual touch yes, multitouch no...
No 16 mill colours either
And there is no posibility for multitouch? HW limited? Is dualtouch fully working or it has any problems?
Oh, I am asking this because i am planing to buy X10.

Well, in my country the best SE phone avaliable is Xperia Arc (350€ new), but i am not planing on buying such an expensive phone, because my life style is very active, so phone easily gets damaged + Arcs headphone conector is not very friendly for listening to music, while phone is in the pocket. You almost cant get new X10 here, but used x10 is about 150-200€, or as I am planing exchange my Samsung Wave for X10. I like X10 more than Galaxy S, because it looks better and because it is Sony Ericsson ......you can suggest me another phone for about 150€-200€ (used) but it has to be Android and it must have got good audio quality.
Oh, and another question. Can I load offical 2.3.3 SE ROM to branded Xperia x10?

For this price it is a good phone. I owned a Samsung wave before too and I am satisfied with the x10 (better camera, bigger screen, better os)
Besides, with official Cyanogenmod support it isn't a totally outdated device.

Although @Scoobysnacks says it a terrible phone, I think installing customs roms and kernels make it exceptional at least for my needs and many others on this forum.
But if I were you I wouldn't buy the X10 as it pretty outdated (if not prehistoric ).
I think the Desire HD would be a decent step up from the X10 and would probably be a lot better when it comes to the user experience and doesn't look like an iPhone
But if you must get an X10 be sure to root it and install custom stuff as otherwise the experience will be lacking quite a bit.

Hi guys with your great device Sony Xperia Series
please I want to know something about Xperia S
I will buy new device soon(I'm currently using huawei X6)but I have 3 Choice which made me confuse
1.Xperia S
2.Galaxy Nexus
3.Sensation XE
I know most powerful device is Xperia S than 2 other device I mention,,
but I looked into development thread and I just found some Custom ROM for Xperia S,not much
Please I want to know why Great Android Xperia S just have some Custom ROM,not much(most of I look is AOKP and Paranoid Android)
Tell me guys if you know
comparison this device with Arc S performance is so far away,but Arc S have Custom ROM more than Xperia S
Thanks much
We'll have AOKP soon(ish), not sure about Paranoid as most developers seem to hate it.
If I may know,,why AOKP Build so late?is still have problem with source or something?
Sent from my Spice Mi-410 using Tapatalk 2
because sony released the source for a short time ago (for ics)
developers are working hard on it, so i think a few weeks and development is going much faster!
Galaxy Nexus is what I recommend if you are interested in custom ROMS. Im very tempted to give up on Sony I almost give up on Sony Ericsson when they had poor upgrading with the Xperia Play but the community brought my back to the tables. But then i upgraded to the Xperia S and Xperia U but it just feels like ive downgraded because i love custom ROMS
If you love default android then get a Nexus. You are giving up speed, screen, and build quality but you gain the dev community that you crave. I personally had bought a Nexus but I returned it for my Xperia S. I am satisfied because there are enough roms to make me happy. You really don't need 10 roms that are essentially the same. Once we get a good release of cm9 and cm10 we should see more support. Also I love the default Sony apps.

Mostly because I'm a lazy ****. Team FreeXperia are working on CM9 and there is no reason to duplicate their work. Since they don't have the source publicly available, all I can do is wait.

I think so,,galaxy nexus have a lot custom ROM and mod

but,,turn back,,Nexus is original Google build,thats make me consider twice

It's not Xperia devs, it's devs in general. Paranoid does stuff that it isn't supposed to do to the framework, so it is a very, very dirty hack, and most devs don't like dirty hacks.

Both phones here have the same price.
I like the looks of both phones, my hands arent big. I like J big screen, im ok with 3.5 but what worries me that its 16:9 aspect ratio, wich means its longer and less wider then analog 3.5 inch screen size phones (iphone, galaxy ace).
J doesnt have such good camera as i see in reviews and only 1ghz CPU.
Despite the fact that U doesnt have mSD expansion slot, im ok with that, if i need more gbs i might just use OTG cable with usb stick.
So what is your suggestion?
maybe some of you already had expierience with both phones?
how is performance of both phones compared to each other? video playback? dvix video playback (with decoders installed)?
Go for Xperia j. At least the chip set has sufficient sources for devs to port the latest os. Users like me who are using Xperia p/u/go/sola are struggling to get a working jellybean from coz of poor support from the chipset maker St Ericsson. So if u care about having the latest os go for Xperia j but if u want a better camera and display and an extra core go for Xperia u

Check gsm arena user comments ... i've read that many users are complaining of lag after update to JB in case of xperia j.
Go for xperia j you will get official jellybean along with xloud bravia engine that won't present in custom jb roms...
Go for xperia U. Im using it and am loving it. First off its much better looking than J. The LED bar at the bottom really adds to its beauty. Also the specs of U are much better than that of J. You will have trouble running even slightly heavy applications and games on the J

Get HTC desire X.. You can buy it from eBay at cheaper prices or HTC Amaze 4g old but better specs and looks and development. U can also get Xperia P for same price.
Talking of eBay prices only

Shipping costs and warranty is diffeerent
Now another question, have any of you used LG L7? how does it compare to Xperia J?
go for U, dont just get a phone because of jelly bean. ICS is so good enough. i have U, and my brother has J, and believe me or not his phone is so slow compare to mine.
U. J looks bad and is slow

J, just for Jelly Bean, anything is way smoother.
I'm thinking about buying xperia sola. I come from xperia 2011 community where 100's of ROM's are available. I want to know the dev support on this device. also info about jelly bean ( IS it available? if not, then any future possibilities?)
Jelly will not be officially available.
It might be ported once it gets released for Xperia P.
If you are okay with the JB issue, you can buy the phone. Its an excellent device. You can also consider buying Xperia P

Xperia P is a bit more expensive but I'll see if I can get my hands on a used one. Is 512 MB RAM enough with dual core processor? My single core xperia mini lags a lot with ICS and JB

No. It's not enough, firstly it will fly, but after installing a bunch of apps it will start lagging bla bla bla, so go ahead and buy 1gb ram phone

i have used xperia sola for 5 moths (UL bootloader and root), imo this device is handle daily job (sms, call, whatsapp, etc) not so good. lag after you install too many program especially when someone call (need 2-3 seconds for the answer display appear), but overall (gaming, music, browsing) is good. and FYI 512 MB ram only accessible around 384 MB by the device, so don't expect it too much
If u don't care about having the latest software then its worth the buy. Because anything beyond 4.1 is uncertain.

FXP release cm9.1 rom at weekly pace, quite good dev support
But, I have lost faith in sony mobile cause my sola has random hang/reboot issue.
Still I'm not sure about the reason, maybe hadware/RAM/NAND, maybe carrier/SIM, maybe software.
It's a pretty good looking, and UI well designed, but I plan to buy a Lumia to replace it.
Just FYI.
The phone is nice.. not as bad as the above repliers. I used stock rom, eXperience v2, CM 9 based, and now Project GX v2.1. IMO The last one really stood out. I have installed many apps inlcluding Currents, Fb, Fb mssger, TOI, Pulse, Flipboard and half of them stay on my Homescreen. Still no lag. Much better roms will come out.
Otherwise there is always the HTC Desire X.
the incoming call will lag when you are playing games or surfing internet.
I faced this problem.
And i got a missed call cause the answer the call didn't show up and my phone ringing but i can't do anything... :/
others ok,this phone not bad.
if you want better go for Xperia P or Xperia L (latest)

My Sola runs daily tasks quite well. I even play heavy games like NFS MW and GTA VC.
First thing, this stock ROM is ****. The lag in Call and messaging app is because they are inefficient and bulky.
Use other ROMs, eXDialer, Junk cleaner script, and everything's going good.
I usually get 100 mb free Ram.
Ps. One thing. I always keep FB frozen when not using. In titanium backup

my sugestion wait for the 2013 xperia series
go to gsmarena and c wht sony has planned for this year
I've sold my sola after 8 months of lag and got a used galaxy s2 for the same price and i'm very happy with it, think about this option
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Alright I'll see if I can get my hands on any used phone with 1 GB RAM.
dont ever go for a phone that is not based on snapdragon SoC. Check before you buy. Dont repeat the mistake that I did. Cause none of the soc manufacturers provide support like qualcomm does. put in a few extra bucks and you wont repent later

good decision, you dont have to worry for a year or two at max, it may not get the latest software officially but it has awesome developer support.

yes, it has official 4.1.2 and now i'm running cm10.1 and it's terrific
I recommend choosing xperia s... U have dual core up to 1,9 ghz at least 8 mpixels camera(cant remember exactly) and it has more ppi I think... I would easily swap my sola for it... Even if I had to pay some money I think it is worth it...
