Sitting snugly between the tiny X10 mini/pro series and the huge XPERIA X10, the X8 Shakira fills a gap in the mid-range that Sony Ericsson was sorely missing.
Going head-to-head with the HTC Wildfire, the XPERIA X8 runs a 3 inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen at 320*480 resolution, WiFi, GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, stereo Bluetooth, microSD support up to 16GB and a 3.2MP camera.
As with it's siblings in the XPERIA range the X8 operates a customised UI sitting atop Android 1.6, with an update to 2.1 just around the corner. The Shakira is powered by a 600 MHz processor and is sure to be another best seller from Sony Ericsson.

Very useful and easy to use Review by G6proskillz
Design Features Value Performance I got an x8 about a month ago and am loving it. It has all the features as the more expensive models ( X10, arc ) but so much cheaper! (Posted on 11/06/11)

Great value mid range Android phone Review by JJ
Design Features Value Performance Ideal for teenagers and those who want the flexibility of Android without needing the best (and most expensive) specifications. Has a great size as I found the X10 mini and mini pro too small and the X10 too big. (Posted on 25/09/10)
