The final software-update of the SonyEricsson Xperia X2

In the end of May 2010 SonyEricsson released the MR2 update to the Xperia X2 phone. It contained may encancements and bug-fixes, but it also left lots of unsolved problems. There was also some new bugs, like the screen-lock app that crashed, and to open your phone, it needed you you to remove the battery of the phone, and reboot.

I started to keep track on new bugs , but this seemed to be just no response from SonyEricsson to these.

The most notable bugs are that the SonyEricsson Xperia X2 fails to handle correctly the SD-card. Many people on different forums reported that their SD-cards where wiped out; YES you read correctly. The phone has a bug that does not handle correctly the power-saving settings for the SD-card. Failing in this task, the phone formats an SD-card, and the user looses all his data. This happedned to me too, and only after applying a patch, this fixed the problem. Again this patch is not from SonyEricssson, but from the community. It really pissess me off that i paid over 650 Euro for this phone, and it got pretty quick abandoned by SonyEricsson. To be more precise. the phone was not even 6 months on the market, and SonyEricsson decided not to release any updates to this phone.

I understand that the technique runs forward, and that phone-models change. But the SonyEricsson Xperia X2 is not cheap consumer-phone that should be changed withing a year of purchase. This phone is marketed as a Business Phone. This does mean that SonyEricsson should commit themselves to continye fix crusial bugs in the phone. After the users of this phone realized that the MR2-release would be SonyEricssons last effort to fix a horrible buggy phone, more or less all of them have said that this phone will be their last SonyEricsson phone ever. Period.  I say the same thing. I will NEVER buy a SonyEricsson phone again. You can't rely on this company that they would takek seriously on fixing bugs in their phones. The support for the phone has ended, and there will not be any patches or updates that would fix bugs that cause dataloss...
