Hi all,
Spent the week in Barcelona for MWC and you probably have followed the reporting. Massive interest in Xperia X10 and overwhelming positive introduction of X10 mini and X10 mini pro, which I can´t help to reiterate.
Back to X10.
One Sony Ericsson research programme that is about to start relates to user experience. From the very first moment of opening up the box, the first period of getting started and views after a weeks usage. This in order to learn from user behaviour and get valuable feedback as input for future releases.
We will run a conventional research programme by recruiting users through our agencies. In addition, I am very happy to announce that we will for the very first time allow recruitment among yourself as I believe you are such a great representation of knowledge and passion. We will be looking for 2-4 persons that are interested to use the device and are committed to give constructive feedback.
However I am at the same time sorry to say that there are some limitations about this recruitment. It will require a face to face meeting and since I am driving this as an additional pilot, we can only cope with Sweden (Stockholm and south Sweden) and UK, greater London area. I am really sorry for that as there as so many of you that I would like to give this opportunity to as you are great contributors to this forum. Your interest about the device is evident from your activeness on the blog to date, which will of course be considered but at the same time I would like to see who else might be interested.
This is a pilot and going further, we might be able to do this in somewhat greater scale for the upcoming products based on interest etc.
The candidate will be needed to answer questions/send a report on the usage a couple of times over course of months time and be willing to meet face to face for a deep interview, either at our premises or even at their resident.
If, you are interested please post a short introduction of yourself in the comments section below, please include the following:
- Complete name
- Age
- Location
- Occupation
- Blog or equivalent if applicable
- Short motivation why you would be a suitable candidate in less than twenty words
I would appreciate If I could close the application process by Tuesday next week.
Have a great weekend
Sumit

Today I got my first hands on with the X10. Living in Lund I have seen the phone a couple of times before but today I finally got to hold it. So what can I say, it was alot smaller then I expected, it even felt narrower and lighter then the iPhone. Build quality felt nice as well as the color reproduction of the screen. Didnt really use the phone as it was the guy privat phone and I was just happy holding it

Motivation: Älskar konvergens-konceptet, vill se hur långt man kan ta det. Tele/musik/navigation/kamera har funnits i hårdvara ett tag, nu är apps nästa steg. Använt N95 länge, tog nyligen detta nästa steg till Android med Nexus One – Android är mycket intressant men Nexus hårdvara begränsad. Hoppas X10 ska vara förlösaren.

Why won’t Sony Ericsson announce a release date for the X10? What is the hold up? This is just dragging on and on and is giving the mobile phone using public such a bad impression of the SE brand and products.
It’s like it’s a concept phone that you never intended to release. How can it take so long. When you announced it, did you actually have anything in place? Or were you just starting work on it?
It’s so frustrating to have something announced with such a long lead in time, and then with 3-4 months gone since the original announcement, there’s still no confirmed release date, all that exists are rumours and gossip on internet sites.
The rest of the mobile phone world seems to be able to announce and release their phones almost immediately, why is this beyond the abilities and capabilities of SE? Surely you can see the damage this does to your firm? Even now your projected release dates are treated with scorn, contempt and sarcasm by internet users.

- Age 32
- Location Scotland / London
- Occupation Graphic / Web Design, Deejay
- Site is my email domain
- Motivation:
Music, graphics and photography is my daily love and work, and I already use google apps heavily to communicate and schedule. I would love to see if the X10 can take my productivity to a new mobile level. I hoped the Nexus One would take me there, but my anticipation of S.E. technology, coupled with Android is making me wait and see what the X10 brings first hand. I really hope it meets my expectations.
I would love the opportunity to give constructive and useful feedback on the X10 as what I hope to be the hub of my business and leisure time.
