 SE Xperia X8

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 has passed the testing of the FCC, and information (including the user manual and a mess of pictures) is available for your viewing pleasure.  While the prototype looks a little different from the polished glamor shot when the X8 was announced by SE, the specs remain the same -- and that's a concern.  The hardware is passable for a mid-range phone, but Android 1.6 is soo last decade (or at least last year).  It's still worth a look. Here's a direct link to the user manual and here's one to the pictures. (Warning: They're PDFs.) [FCC via Engadget]

1.6? Why bother releasing it? At least it should be hacked to 2.2 in short order.

Unfortunately the bootloader on the x10 is yet to be hacked (there has been some progress recently) and I assume this will be the same.

SeeK says:

1.6? Wow. SE really can't do this Android thing properly, can they? There's no reason for a mid-range device not to run 2.1, or 2.2 for that matter. 2.2 increases general performance so much it's ridiculous.

WickedStyx says:

They need to get 2.1 on their high-end device (x10) before they can think about their mid-range devices. Glad I jumped ship!
