Albeit AT&T's standards, the Xperia is a good platform

I just got off the phone with Sony Ericsson Customer Service. It seems as though due to AT&T's Android standards, the home screen is limited to 3 instead of the usual 5 or 7. Also Creatouch is missing (Custom wallpaper app). I'm surprised that AT&T still won't let go of its Navigator software which asks for a monthly free when google Navigation and waze are free apps... Aside from the grafted crapware, the phone is great for being what 1.6 or donut has to offer. Still I am eager for the update to 2.1 or 2.2, truely making this phone a better world travel phone. I think I have more headaches with AT&T's limitations than with the iPhone or Android. I must say that the Motorola Backflip, although great idea was a bad choice for AT&T's 1st Android phone and being that its also an entry level phone, I feel that it was rushed and still has a lot of bugs (I had it for 2 days during GDC about the same time the backflip came out).
I digress, I miss my old unlimited data plan, I'm still tinkering with the Xperia at the moment, more later when I find the time.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 on AT&T

Liking the Xperia X10 aside from AT&T's Android Market limitations.

 

 

I'm missing the following applications:

ESPN

UrbanSpoon

Open Spot

Dialer One

Locale Location

reTweet

Square

Real Signal

Vlingo

Local Eats

 

Must be another way to load these apps on my phone aside from the Sideload Wonder Machine.

 

EDIT:
I think I found the problem, most of the apps need OS 2.0 or higher.
