Xperia s will come with an outdated processor(snapdragon 3) while snapdragon 4 is just to be out(or its out I don't know)

Galaxy note is too big and imagine how u will feel when u will pick up a call in public(everyone will see u) and found it not as smooth as sgs2(and people confirmed it)

Now in between galaxy nexus and galaxy s2

Galaxy s2-

much better camera,CPU,GPU is much much better and screen is non pentile(non pentile pixel formation is much better in crispness),is much cheaper,more oc and uv

Galaxy nexus - Screen looks awesome,software support comes first to it,TGB can tell u more

So its upon u,see the price:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
TBH I actually like the fact that the galaxy note is big and i like a bit of attention ;). Its also really hard to find as well, the S2 is really popular, i see them more than iPhones here now... not a big fan of popular phones. I can get the galaxy S2 for 29 per month... thats cheap, i guess its cos of SGS3.

I don't mind that much about android development now cos I don't have a lot of time to browse forums. As long as I have a stable firmware with no bugs, decent speed and good battery life, I'm happy.

I really like the Arc S's design, it looks cool :D I'm not that into the galaxy's design, its amazingly thin but just lacks that little metal bit on the side ;) Galaxy nexus looks cheap IMO, for the price I'm paying for I guess is majorly the software support and the screen. I don't really mind about software like I said.

Soo... down to:

SGSII

Arc S

Galaxy Note

EDIT:

Thanks for wrecking it for me, dude, I use the freaking X10 lolllll honestly do you think I will notice? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
The note seems a good choice if you like the size, plus if its a little too big for calls you could always use a Bluetooth headset. The dev area will be good plus youl get HD screen, nfc, ics in near future and voodoo mods from supercurio.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
what's voodoo mods? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Beat someone to death with that.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
By this french dev called supercurio, his speiciality is audio and screen tweaks and enhancements. Iv come a cross people who swear by it, people won't want to get a phone without it again. The quality in sound is meant to be 1000x better and he makes the screens on so.e phones better too. http://project-voodoo.org im sure I read he'll be supporting the note
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
the note is bloody skinny too. i wud get one if i cud afford really. and i luv styluses. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
back in those days voodoo used to be the name of a graphics card company. (they wer better than nvidia) lol.

now we have only nvidia and ati left
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Doesnt the note use the exynos chip too which seems to be the best one going?
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
My mistake its voodoo louder for the note but still a good mod http://knowmydroid.com/blog/voodoo-louder-now-available-for-galaxy-s2-note
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
SGS2 and note have same specs

Note is bigger SGS2

Voodoo is for both

@Prodigy Just simply cut Arc S from the list,its just not worth.

People criticize Samsung that they only know about hardware and they make ****ty software but they don't know how rock stable is stable are Samsung roms.

CM7 just looks like 2.3.3 for x10 in front of Samsung roms their and i was amazed:eek::eek:

But CM9 is much faster than Samsung ICS but Samsung one is rock solid

I think note have buggy CM9 but SGS2 have tons of roms

One based on samsung(and not just tweaked but also have special mods and apps for that)

CM7

CM9

Thanks anyway :)

Too many people have it loool that was the main reason why i chose the X10 against iPhones
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Long time no talk LJE, what device are you using now other than the X10? I think Brand New should refer to unopened otherwise I would literally sue them lolll
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Lucky you!

Here Nexus phones are released very late and Galaxy Nexus is not even released here yet(They are promoting note on full force in every ad)

If i would like to buy galaxy nexus here then i will have to pay 680 AUD/USD and that to without warranty or bill

But its having a disadvantage(camera,processor)

Some people in SGS II section have gone to Gnex and some thing that its downgrade

But i think both are same at their own places,its upon u what u want

U said Gnex looks cheap and SGS II is common

[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
Did you go for it? (Get it?)

:) yeah it has been a while Prodigy, I'm still just on the x10. I'm on a 2 year contract and have about 1/2 a year to go.

It should work out good, hopefully there are a few nice phones to choose from when my contract is up. The xperia s is looking like it might be my next phone but I'll wait and see what's out in 6 months :) or planned to come out near the end of the year
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Nup didn't buy it. Some dude bumped it up to 325 + 19.95 shipping. No way Im paying that much for a used prototype.

@LJE, do you get to upgrade phones once your contract is up?? Can you clarify that?

I'm glad i didn't buy the arc... how about the xperia play??
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Don't buy any of the 2011 xperia or it will be like buying the x10 now
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
Nah, I can't upgrade. I'm paying $45 a month for $500 worth of credit. Free calls/text to mobiles, and 2gb of data. Plus I got the first 3 months free because I used an ABN.

Depending if the xperia s is any good, and when it's released here, I might sell my x10 and knock 2 months off the contract
[XPERIA X10 General] akirabog:
hi, why i can`t upgrade my x10 2.1 to gingerbread? it shows that i have the latest firmware
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Probably cos Sony not released it to your region or didn't make it through your carrier approval process. Use the flash tool to flash a stock generic 2.3 rom is the easiest way
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Guys, the XPERIA S is here in the Netherlands cheaper at the release then the XPERIA X10 after alot of months of it's release... Seriously damn... I was like WOW! Even the SGS2 was more expensive at it's release then the XPERIA S here...

Menu key is still menu key,multitask is done by long pressing home button

We get ICS with touch keys disabled and only hardware keys(i have made the touch keys enabler here)

The lock screen of phone(from xda portal)

Like when trying to unlock the device with its unusual unlock function, requiring you to press anywhere on the screen and drag out until the outer-circle is “full”. If you don’t drag enough, the unlock fails and you have to try again.

Get it ASAP:D:D

Yes it is going to be out but when & at what price? I really can't afford to always keep up with the latest tech & I don't want to wait that long for a phone with snapdragon 4 with a reasonable price, I just want to upgrade from my X10 & I wanted to do it to SG2 or Galaxy nexus but I came to the conclusion that I really dislike Samsung phones & my next phone will also be a Sony (Ericsson) so yeah I'm waiting a bit more for Xperia S to come & also a bit more for it to have a reasonable price

Its amazing how idiots bid on iPhones and make them almost 900 dollars when there are other phones that are absolutely out of the league (galaxy nexus, galaxy note) compared to that little 3.5 screen, that cost less than 600 dollars. Hardware wise you pay 900 bucks for iJunk. Tsk tsk. :(

No not in my case...Their i cursed myself why i didn't buy nexus s when i was in the shop and chosen the x10 and it was 450 bucks:D

I care about speed(and asphalt 6),their is no comparison in it....(bring the HD4 i don't care about OS'es):D

I'm never concerned with latest tech. even today, other than optimus 2x (very rare) and galaxy s 2 (even that is not THAT common), there are no other well known dual core phones in India. so xperia s although not "cutting edge" but will surely not be "outdated" lol.

You can call it junk all you want but the truth is the GPU smacks any phone on the market right now, an alright CPU, and it has all the games. That being said, I couldn't care less about games, a cpu makes a difference but very fractional if it's similar to the competition, and a GPU bench (benchmarks in general) say very little about user experience. As you can see I have a Galaxy Nexus but I'm just saying the iPhone has what most people want with the only choice being Android or iOS. Also, "is the price of an iPhone justifies can be an argument?" Of course android is my choice, I'm just trying to be as unbiased as possible.

Nope i have actually seen them sold in stores.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
I agree about the games, there are incredible amounts of it, but if I wanted all those games i might as well buy an ipod touch.

The thing about apple is that their software is incredibly integrated into the idevices themselves, a quality which most droid phones under ICS lack. Its also simple to use, which most people prefer, i guess why some android fanboys say that it's for idiots. Not to mention the billions invested in marketing.

Ahh thank god for a free board! I'm a noob and god damn.. i'm scared to post comments on xda !!

I got an xperia x10 when i heard gingerbread is coming... got an AT&T one, been scared of flashing it as i am new to this and all this can be overwhelming :/

If anyone reads this and decides to guide me in the right direction - my phone is xperia x10a, firmware 2.1-update1 base 2.165 kernel 2.6.29 built 2.1.a.0.492

My cosfusion is do i need to flash both firmware and band or just firmware , and how to proceed :/
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Start by going to the dev section and downloading the newest flashtool.

While thats downloading....on your phone go to settings, applications, development and check usb debugging
[XPERIA X10 General] marksee:
Thanks, :)

i ended up on this page - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678513 and am downloading the X10a_Generic Firmware.rar form " an easy way to unbrand your handset" blog link . already installed flashtool (non beta version) and usb debugging is checked.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Dont download that file if you want 2.3.3.

Thats not the right one
[XPERIA X10 General] marksee:
Ok, deleted. this is what i am thinking to do - first find xrecovery for 2.1 (seems the one has prerequisite of 2.3 rom, so not sure if it works on 2.1) and install it.

Then do a full backup of current rom, and copy it to hard disk.

Download the Wolf gingerbread from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192988

and then use xrecovery to install it on the phone.. I think that will be enough ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Download wolfs rom and the ftf bundle (ftf bundle is for flashtool) so prepare it there...extract it and place it in the firmware folder....put wolfs rom file in a folder on your sd card.

install xrecovery0.3 on your current rom/ of course it has to be rooted

boot into xrecovery and backup your rom

then factory data reset, wipe cache partition, advanced settings, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats

install custom zip...from sd....navigate to the folder you placed wolfs rom on your sd card and choose it.

when its done installing, DO NOT REBOOT PHONE!!!! pull out the battery for at least 30 secs

flashtool should be asking you to plug in your xperia in flash mode at this point to flash the ftf bundle

put your battery back in...hold the back button and plug in your usb cable.

flashtool should take over for you.

when its done, unplug your phone and power it on.

enjoy!
