tried to find Milestone..but have not yet been able to get one ...enquiries about it evoked surprising looks...also from what i hear ..any kind of after sales support is virtually non existant for Motorolla and that scares me ..read about HTC Aria...any chance of it coming to India and more importantly will it get a Froyo update ?

Specs wise both Aria and Legend are same. Though I am surprised that you couldn't find Milestone. Motorola splashes half page ads in weekend newspapers promoting Milestone, XT720 and that $hitty Backflip. If you stay in one of the metros; its easily available in every eZone and Chroma outlets. As far as after sales service is concerned all companies suck . You can always sue them if you are shortchanged.

right u are.. i stay in trivandrum..a capital city but not a metro.. when i enquired, i was told about the samsung after sales offer on Galaxy and wave- they guarantee a 24 hour service..not that i completely believe it ..but there's virtually no service centres for motorola..according to guys at univercell, they shut shop 2 years ago...
and after shelling out 20K for a phone..with no support that does scare the hell out of me

I found a spica at a shop near my place (with warranty)..
Is it worth to buy this phone considering that its production is over .. ??
If some parts get damaged .. will they be replaced ??

Yes!
Just buy before someone else picks it.

SE Xperia X8 Out officially...listed at Univercell for close to 14K ..now if it runs on 1.6 (Donut) it would be an awesome failure!!

 

[dreamcatcher]

X8 available for 13k in kolkata. Awesome buy.

Android version?

 

[dreamcatcher]

2.1 on the 15th of october. Wait up for the loaded stock or just upgrade it from SEUS.

Ok, thanks for the info. Means its running the same old Android 1.6.

To anyone who is thinking to buy X8, I would STRONGLY suggest you wait till it gets 2.1 at least as dreamcatcher mentioned above.

 

[blacklight]

Agree with kalpik...and i think 2.1 is the last update X8 will see..it seems that it wont be getting the froyo upgrade ..

 

[sujoyp]

I hope X8 gets its 2.1 real fast...its a good phone..but SE r real late already
