Welcome to my Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 Blog

It is now 9 months since i bought my Xperia X2 phone. I paid roughly 600 Eur for the device that was hyped by Sony Ericsson with the following sentence in their press-release on September 2, 2009:
"Live life in the fast lane with the XPERIA™ X2 from Sony Ericsson. Designed for those who always need to be connected, whether it’s for business or personal life, the XPERIA™ X2 blurs the boundary between work and play"
The design of the phone was nice, and the specs looked  also very nice. I was looking for a business-phone that had a physical QWERTY-keyboard that i could use to manage my e-mails, ssh-connections to servers i maintain etc. etc. Also the battery/standby-time looked perfect to me:
  • Talk time GSM: Up to 10 hrs
  • Standby time GSM: Up to 500 hrs
  • Talk time UMTS: Up to 6hrs
  • Standby time UMTS: Up to 640hrs
  • Music listening time: Up to 20hrs
Reading more on the press-release revealed to me that the phone was running on Windows Mobile® 6.5. This was something that I til now could not understand why Sony Ericsson released this great piece of hardware with a bloated operating-system inside.
I will start to write down all issues and problems that i have had with this phone til now. Maybe you already know that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 had some serious issues, like data-loss on the data saved on the memory-card!!!
So stay tuned, and follow the horrible bumpy road i have had with this phone thil now!
