The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was my first foray in the smartphone world in December 2010. Was I impressed not really. Apps are available from the android market ok the apps are ok but not a patch on apple ones. The phones battery life was absolutley horrendous it drained within 12 hours and this was me only sending a few texts, checking facebook and a couple of quick calls. The sound quality was also garbage was difficult to hear people at times. The 8 mega pixels has no flash and the quality of photos was dark and dull, you could use the photo light in darker places but this blinded the people you took photos of. There was hd recording this was ok and it did run on android gingerbread so it was fast. I also like the green flashing light which let you know if you had a text or missed call. Appearance wise it does look stylish though I had it in white and it never really looked dirty, the screen rarely smeared and didnt attract dust either. All in all I would not recommend.
