    Summary: When it was first launched, the Xperia X8 received criticism for its out-of-date version of Android. Since then it has received a major software update to version 2.1 of the operating system, up from 1.6. It still retains Sony Ericsson's own custom...

    Conclusion: The X8 has some clever features, but it can't match Motorola’s Defy on contract. It’s a good choice on prepay, though.

    Summary: Sony Ericsson's Xperia X8 doesn't get the multi-touch treatment that Froyo enables, but is a very compact smartphone with decent features that comes at a price.

    Conclusion: SE’s Xperia X8 is a stylish and compact smartphone boasting decent hardware (for a budget device) and functional software. Its Achilles’ heel though is its lack of multi-touch, a big let-down for a modern smartphone, even on a budget. It goes for a...

    Pro : Really compact, easy-to-use interface

    Cons : No multi-touch capabilities, outdated OS, simply good-enough camera

    Summary: This is one area where the Xperia X8 really excels. With 3G+, WiFi and Bluetooth, it doers a good job of staying connected. Voice calls don't suffer from any distortion or interference and the sound is clear and loud enough even when you're making...

    Conclusion: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is a small mobile that does better at the 'phone' part of being a smartphone than the 'smart' part. We much prefer the X10 and X10 mini pro, which has a slide-out keyboard. Such an unresponsive screen is a pain to use.

    Pro : Small form factor ; Interchangeable covers ; Good contrast and accurate colours onscreen ; Interface is easy to get the hang of ; Good battery life

    Cons : Tricky touchscreen ; Not much room for customisation ; Lots of lag ; Disappointing online experience
