Takes a brave person to spend that kind of money on a Sony Ericsson as of late, got insurance on it?
HTC really are going places though, they've properly shed the OS woes that were always their downfall over the last few years, the hardware is rock solid and plus the unofficial software support through xdadevelopers is a huge boon even if they don't like to admit it, the only area left that they are well and truely behind is the camera/video modules they use, the day they bring out a legend/desire style handset with a camera on par with something like the Vivaz or N86 will be a very grim day for the rest of the phone industry indeed
Still, it should be an interesting year for phones, the iPhone HD of course, WebOS finally getting some investment and engineering clout behind it care of HP and MeeGo has the potential to be the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone if Nokia manage to not make a mess of it. One can hope eh  ____________________ 2010 Triumph 1050 Sprint ST |

I don't know what it is, but mobiles are probably one of the few bits of technology that doesn't excite me at all. ____________________ My Flickr |

Is that a two year contract? I do hope you have adequate insurance, that is a lot of moneys worth of droppable plastic... ____________________ CBR125|||GSXR400|||CBR400|||CBR400|||CB250RS|||GSXR750|||CB250RS

Some will lead, others will follow. Sony/Ericsson aren't fresh meat in the Mobile market so while you sit there mocking it you have to realise, this is Sony's first real stab at this kinda device, HTC are established at it - yet still being beaten
One site's take on the comprison:
| Quote: | A further possible problem comes from the fact that the phone's stuck on Android 1.6, meaning that you miss out on many of the improvements Android 2.1 offers. But Sony Ericsson have already managed to replicate much of this functionality and they also assure us that 2.1 updates will roll out later this year; we can only hope that they keep to a better update schedule than the woeful 'always coming, never arriving' efforts of certain other Android phone manufacturers (*cough* HTC *cough*). |
Then:
| Quote: | The X10 really is selling itself as a Sony Ericsson phone first and foremost, that does all the things you expect a Sony Ericsson to do well - just with the added boost of an extensive and rapidly maturing app ecosystem. As such, it points the way to how a lot of people might end up using Android; quietly, in the background, with many of them possibly not even really knowing that it's there at all. |
My issue with it:-
| Quote: | However, multi-touch is not supported. Unfortunately, it won't be supported even if Android OS was upgraded to version 2.1 (or later) due to "hardware issues," according to Sony Ericsson. Unlike other handsets with Google's OS, web pages and photos can't be zoomed in by pinching. Instead, zooming in can be performed by pressing the icons marked by the plus and minus signs that show up on the screen in certain situations. It's one of the biggest downsides of the phone. |
As time goes on, this phone will go down a treat and once it has an upgrade or 2, and get's established in the consumer market the Desire will have been a ripple in the pond.
(btw, how can you increase something by 450%? so when 2.1 is on mine il say the phone's useability is increased by 600%?)  ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate. Job done |

I'd say that @ £630 over the 18 months that it's far from free.
