xperia x8

just an entry especially for the xperia x8. i was trying a mid-range of android phone. this is sony android, current version of 2.1. it is the phone which is came out after xperia x10. before i tell the details, let see the specifications:

xperia x8

size: 99.0 x 54.0 x 15.0 mm / 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.6 inchess

weight: 104.0g / 3.7oz

screen: 320 x 480 pixels (hvga) / 3" capacitive touchscreen

battery: 1200mah

camera: 3.2 megapixel, no auto-focus

with wi-fi, bluetooth, a-gps, four corner home screen, onscreen qwerty keyboard, 3.5 mm audio jack, fm radio with rds.

the price for xperia x8 was very affordable! although the cpu used was only 600 mhz arm 11 processor, the flow of the screen changes in the phone was quite surprising! which is quite smooth compared to other mid-range android phone. and the internal phone memory available was very large, which is 128 mb, compared to my desire, which had only 70 mb free when i first buy it. any how, the camera was a bit disappointing. 3.2 megapixel with no auto focus, the camera quality itself was ok, but to take a picture with no auto focus was very hard as the subject was hard to focus. you can easily get blurry picture if you are not familiar with camera.

conclusion

the xperia x8 was a great phone especially for new android phone user. although it is very hard for a new user to understand the android os, a few hour of playing it will get you better. and hopefully sony will upgrade their old android phones, alas, people will hate you if you're not doing so.
