Sony Ericsson smartphones — Android or otherwise — generally come down to two things: above-average hardware hobbled by overreaching, underpowered software. And that trend continues with the Xperia X10. (See our previous hands-on with the X10.)
After the break, we take a look at the X10’s better half — the hardware. The X10 sports a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 4-inch TVT LCD touchscreen, 1GB of ROM/512MB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera. Oh, and one thing we didn’t bother with — testing multitouch — because the phone just won’t do it. Period. That’s not a deal-breaker, but … We’ll tackle the X10’s Achilles heel — the software — later.
