"We dont approve them, but we support them!" Nah, they're pretty good. Massive turn-around for SE considering last year they cancelled 2.3 for this phone and had a locked bootloader. I've got CM7 running on my X10 :) Luke Martinez, me@luke.asia On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 8:24 AM, Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> wrote:

Thanks, it's interesting but unfortunately the X10 isn't listed. Anyway the stock build isn't that bad. Apart from always launching the stupid Moxier mail in the background and some other sillyness it works OK. The Xperia X10 still provides excellent value for money on the Virgin network, probably another two of my relatives will have them soon. What would tempt me to root my phone is proper Wifi support (phone as an AP and phone getting net access through an Ad-Hoc Wifi network), fast support for camera/video (less than 1s to take a picture), and support for background GPS (so I can leave it locked to the GPS location if I know I'll be needing GPS in the near future). -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
