Cons

Sharpness and dynamic range issues
Runs Android 1.6, no upgrade for a while, Custom UI still lags, no multitouch, Too pricey given competition
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 runs Android OS 1.6. The Timescape application has its faults, and you must use a third-party app for Outlook calendar syncing.
Slow performance, No multitouch
Lacks multitouch, Noticeable lag, Outdated Android 1.6 OS, No HD video capture
Poor battery life, Mediascape and Timescape, Keyboard takes some getting used to, Freezes occasionally, slow touchscreen response.
Poor virtual keypad, no FM radio; short battery life.
No multi touch, no offline charging possible
Sluggish UI, Mediascape Interface Doesn't Do Much, Call Quality & Battery Life Issues
LED flash could have been more powerful, DivX/XviD support removed despite big screen and powerful hardware, average quality earphones bundled, currently runs on older Android 1.6
It’s only running Android 1.6, which is a nonstarter for me, The custom UI software makes it extremely sluggish, Unlocked pricing only at this point, which is way too expensive considering the competition, I hate removing battery to change microSD c
Custom UI hurts much more than it helps, Initially stuck on Android 1.6, Rivals in a similar price range sometimes more compelling, Typical smartphone battery performance.
Android V1.6, Average camera output, No FM radio
New UI's tend to make the handset sluggish, No FM radio, Camera supports up to VGA resolution
Timescape slows down if overloaded with feeds, Lack of physical search button, Bulky
Despite the inclusion of a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, the X10 can at times prove rather sluggish especially when auto-rotating.Look and Feel...
Middling sound quality in voice calls. Short battery life. Uneven Timescape performance. microSD card slot hidden behind battery.
Lagging software, Android 1.6, Very weak camera flash (practically useless), Integration of social services that is not good enough, Interface elements that need finishing touches, Lack of DivX and Xvid support
May be a bit big for some users; Timescape interface nice but limited in function; expensive compared with similar models from other brands.
Problematic flash. Face Recognition failures. Runs old version of Android
Android 1.6, AT&T’s Orwellian Walled Garden, Rating: Do Not Buy
No multitouch capabilities, Battery performance exceedingly poor
