Xperia X10 research candidates

Hi all,

Spent the week in Barcelona for MWC and you probably have followed the reporting. Massive interest in Xperia X10 and overwhelming positive introduction of X10 mini and X10 mini pro, which I can´t help to reiterate.

Back to X10.

One Sony Ericsson research programme that is about to start relates to user experience. From the very first moment of opening up the box, the first period of getting started and  views after a weeks usage. This in order to learn from user behaviour and get valuable feedback as input for future releases.

We will run a conventional research programme by recruiting users through our agencies. In addition, I am very happy to announce that we will for the very first time allow recruitment among yourself as I believe you are such a great representation of knowledge and passion. We will be looking for 2-4 persons that are interested to use the device and are committed to give constructive feedback.

However I am at the same time sorry to say that there are some limitations about this recruitment. It will require a face to face meeting and since I am driving this as an additional pilot, we can only cope with Sweden (Stockholm and south Sweden) and UK, greater London area. I am really sorry for that as there as so many of you that I would like to give this opportunity to as you are great contributors to this forum. Your interest about the device is evident from your activeness on the blog to date, which will of course be considered but at the same time I would like to see who else might be interested.

This is a pilot and going further, we might be able to do this in somewhat greater scale for the upcoming products based on interest etc.

The candidate will be needed to answer questions/send a report on the usage a couple of times over course of months time and be willing to meet face to face for a deep interview, either at our premises or even at their resident.

If, you are interested please post a short introduction of yourself in the comments section below, please include the following:

-          Complete name

-          Age

-          Location

-          Occupation

-          Blog or equivalent if applicable

-          Short motivation why you would be a suitable candidate in less than twenty words

I would appreciate If I could close the application process by Tuesday next week.

Have a great weekend

Sumit

    I´m a 35 year old warehousemanager with great interest in most things happening with android and new androidphones. I´m especially intersted in SE since I´ve always loved your phones and preffered them before others. Lately I feel you´ve been behind other manufacturers but are now coming back BIGTIME with the x10 and its sybblings. I´m not a blogger but an everyday user of my phone at work and at at home. I live in Uppsala (100km) from Stockholm but will gladely meet with you in Stockholm. I´m pretty new to android and I´m positive to be able to contribute with loads of important and useful feedback.
    For me one of the most important things are “user friendly” and the logic thinking behind a user interface. I´m greatly excited about the x10 and hoping to be able to test it intensly. Also hoping It´s as good as I hope and can be a fresh start for SE.

    Thank you for this exciting opportunity!
    Daniel

    Thank you!

    I’m a 25 year old student at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund’s university. I have a great interest in mobile technology and I have used most brands and types of mobile platforms available. And I really think I could contribute to the development of the xperia x10 by giving input on how both ordinary people and power users want to use their mobile handsets. I interact on a daily basis with other people interested in technology and thus have a good network for getting input for how to develop the x10. I also do quite a lot of traveling in Sweden which gives me the opportunity to get the phone visible to a large mass of people. I hope I am of interest to you and that you think I could be of help developing the future of mobile communication that X10 surely is. Sincerely Jonas Åström
