I've had the x10a for about 3 weeks now .. the battery is calibrated and it's bad.. sure if i want to run it on 2g it's great but with 3g running it's horrible..
the charging is slow via usb cable and computer at least.. (it took 5 hours to charge from 8% to 65% from my work laptop) via outlet it takes about 2-3 hours which is normal..(my iphone had bad battery life but it would charge up quickly at least)
the call volume is decent as long as you have it in the sweet spot, but at full volume the voices crack sounds like a tin can. just compared to my buddy's n97 mini or heck even my wifey's iphone 3gs it sounds bad.. i was on the train.. people were complaining that they can hear the conversations around me clearer then me lol.
test at home and the tv was loud and clear as well.. (either way subpar imo)
RANT
don't even get me on the android 1.6 vs. 2.1 nonsense.. android's fragmentation will be its downfall.. seriously it's sad that they can't even make the photo light (flash) even the k750 had a photolight that "flashed" and that was eons ago. maybe SE should have found sometime to add useful customizations vs. the useless timescape and mediascape apps.
Instead of SE giving us 2.1 in Q4 they should give us ROOT access and make the apps installable outside of the core UI.. Which is what I think 2.2 is offering anyway..
the camera is also slow and laggy.. heck even when it saves a pic.. it stutters along lol
END RANT
And my alarm clock on the phone doesn't always work.. maybe 3x out of 7 days... some times it's goes off sometimes it doesn't..

Although is it good to hear that SE finally set time on when the Android 2.1 is going to come on x10, I still feel sad that there is no word about multi-touch feature. I just hope the update on UXP will offer a lot of cosmetic and functionality changes.

I don't recognise any of these problems with my X10. Alarm has never failed, camera startup time is good and don't experience any lag when picture is saved. Of course I cannot know about individual expectations but in my experience it is a great device. At first I had to keep an eye on battery level during the day but now it last me through the day no problem. I agree that charging takes ages connected to a computer but hey, there is a fix as the X10 comes with a charger

Then something is wrong with the phone, I've had mine about the same length of time now and the battery life is pretty fantastic, not an issue at all for me, and that's with 3G going at all times and at least 100mb downloaded a day.

The power that comes out of a computer USB port is simply very low, this is normal.

I haven't been on train with the phone yet but this may be a fair concern, although I haven't had any issues with the speaker so far.

I have no idea what you meant to say!

I agree, somewhat. As long as applications are backward compatible I don' think regular Android OS updates are a bad thing though.
Instead of SE giving us 2.1 in Q4 they should give us ROOT access and make the apps installable outside of the core UI.. Which is what I think 2.2 is offering anyway..
Someone will surely root the phone sooner or later, it has only been out a month and I'm sure it will be rooted before the SE update comes along.

Yes, but it's still better then any offered on any other Android phone.

That's odd, works on mine everyday.

i meant to say i tested at home with the tv on in the background... and the person i was talking to could here the tv like it was crystal clear.. (nokia's i guess are very good at cancelling background noise but i didn't expect the iphone to outdo the x10 as well)
i've had other phones that charge much faster via computer.. my old iphone would top up half in 1 hour.
battery life has been a consistent issue on this phone.. sure it's gotten better after the initial charges but it is sitll subpar.. i don't think there's anything wrong with my phone when SE has already acknowledged improvements via firmware and every other post about the x10 is regarding bad battery life.

Is it possible to take panoramic photos with the x10?
I can't see the option?.. it's normally on SE phones.. a massive oversight if not!
