Rs. 15,990 gets you a pretty good phone in the X8. Unfortunately, there are contenders out there that present a stronger case for your cash, a case the X8, try as it might, cannot ward off. Allow us to reiterate. The XPERIA X8 is quite nice, but there are better options for nearly every need, for a similar price.
Pros
Well built
decent value and feature set
Lots of applications available
Cons
Better phones available for the price
Camera lacks a flash and autofocus
On-screen QWERTY is cramped
We’ve been awaiting the XPERIA X8 for some time now. Ever since Sony Ericsson announced it in a press event open to select technology media to be precise. Our brief hands on at the event, wasn’t enough to derive any valuable information other than the obvious – the X8 was intended as a lower part than the X10 series, and all things considered, functioned as one.
Sony Ericsson claimed they would make the phone funkier by including different coloured back panels, and, true to their word the piece we received has four, not counting the white one already on the phone. You get some nice two-tone colours, ranging from a hot pink/white for chicks, to a more suave light black/white. The X8 looks like a smaller version of the X10, although with a 3-inch display, it’s larger than the X10 Mini or the X10 Mini Pro. The latter we tested recently, and warrants special mention, as it's the only member of the X10/X8 series that features a hardware QWERTY
