does holding down the menu key not do anything?Quote:
The front of the phone features three silver hard keys for ‘menu', ‘home' and ‘back' - no hard ‘search'key, which is a very questionable decision in a Google phone.
Yes, it brings up a menu. :mrgreen:Quote:

Search key? I've got a X10 mini pro and can't say I've ever had need for it...
Wouldn't get another SE smart phone though, they really need a kicking to get updates on time and they really need to not lock down the phones to customisation too much if they can't do a decent job themselves!
:p not a daft question, its usually where android phones without a search button keep the function - tap to menu, hold to search.Quote:

Totally agree there - worse still they seem to be of the opinion that because the delivered a 2.1 upgrade, that this is the job done. No sign of anything 2.2 or later. :(Quote:
SE takes much longer than everyone else to release Android updates.
Never needed (nor missed) such an item on my X10. Tend to use the search in the apps themselves, or just add GestureSearch for the in-phone searches.Quote:

Weird, that works fine on the X10 - although you do need to hold the button down for 2-3 seconds.Quote:
Also you can't seem to activate the camera via the hard button - you need to open the app.
Assuming that the X8 is the same as the X10, you can share a photo by clicking the "mail" icon and then you can share to Facebook. Or, as the article quite rightly points out, you can add a (free?) Twitter app, and then share to that via the mail icon too.Quote:
But I was surprised that there didn't appear to be any social networking photo sharing functionality pre-installed on the phone.
News to me - I got my X10 on Three for £30pm all in, with 1GB of data/month. Current pricing seems to be £33-35 depending on what deal you take.Quote:
while you have to sign up to at least £40 per month if you want a full X10 without shelling out anything up-front.
I'm clearly not aware of all the X10 deals out there, I think that must have been O2. Thanks for the correction.Quote:

Is it just me, or does O2 seem to be missing the mark a bit with some of its tariffs?
Not just you :) I was looking for a new phone recently and had a few "head scratching" moments...!Quote:
