The Xperia X10 is called a quad-band phone as it covers all four GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequency bands, but is actually a multi-band phone as it also covers three or four UMTS/HSPA frequency bands. Xperia X10 is sold worldwide and therefore has both common frequency band layouts.
Software
Sony Ericsson has made its own custom overlay on top of the Android operation system called UX, short for User eXperience, which consists of design elements, themes and custom applications. The main applications are Sony Ericsson Timescape and Sony Ericsson Mediascape. Timescape is a program that lifts together Facebook, Twitter, SMS and mail into a flowing column on the home screen. Mediascape is a player and library application for media files that also connects to Facebook and Picasa accounts online and to the phone's contacts list. This makes it possible to attach photos you have taken with the camera to your contacts or send them to your Facebook account. The phone contains all normal smartbook applications and some stand out ones: Wisepilot (navigation software), Google Maps, YouTube, Sony's Play Now and TrackID (to identify a song by recording a small part of it).
Rooting
The X10 is an Android powered device. The Android OS uses a Linux kernel and has the usual Linux concepts of groups and user-accounts. One of the default user accounts in Linux is called the "root" user. This user has full control over the system. Obtaining "root access" on the system is important for the deployment of custom ROMs. Custom ROMs are usually developed to bring newer versions of the OS to the hardware.
