I have just upgraded from X1 to X10 and I'm very impressed with the device.

Major drawback is low volume during calls.

Pluses definitely outweigh the minuses and the snapdragon 1 GHZ is lightning quick.

My opinion is go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Don't forget we are on first gen firmware which can only improve.
[XPERIA X10 General] windmoon:
Ha~~ You are ask in right place,

I'm also upgrade from X1 to X10

Android is better than WM = =", Even my X1 use custom rom and faster than stock rom a 300%, but WM still lag, still ....ooxx

And My colleague have MileStone, Nexus One, Hero

But all colleagues want to get X10 when they see my X10 and play it a lot

Milestone is best for Rooted use, but slower than X10

Nexus One also have the latest firmware, rooted etc..benefit but is this really important???

Hero... actually not the same grade

I want to said X1 to X10 you can feel much better improve, actually when you jump from WM to Android you can feel it

Milestone VS X10

Outlook: I guess X10 is better but MS not bad, but MS heavy

Phone Feature: MS win, better speaker, clear and loud, also the IM volume is clear and MS have CrystalVoice, X10 speaker low, and the most important is the IM volume is very low.... MW600 is your friend = ="

Stylus: X10 win, the custom of the X10 and UI, Userfriendly is X10, But MS also can improve by Apps

Performance: slower than X10

Nexus One VS X10

Outlook: I think 99% people said X10 win

Phone Feature: I think is draw, Nexus one have Noise Cancel, but in the real world this feature seem not really good as Milestone, and the volume same as X10 still low

Performance: Faster than X10

Conclusion:

My choice is X10, even I played the Milestone and Nexus one and hero also

X10 is a very union product, you can feel this is the Sony phone, not like the MS or Nexus one, just only a Android

When you use X10, you will see many place has been modified and make the stylus in one "Sony Stylus"

Even the outlook and the UI you can see this is the phone which not like just only buy some band, and then the outlook is like a soap and UI alway HTC = ="

The Better Video Play back and the best camera on Android "like DC"

If you want to play the PHONE, you use MS or Nexus One

If you want to show up, use the PHONE, then X10

HA... when I goto street and show off the X10, many people watch my Phone, wow... what is this phone?? the outlook is very good, big screen and slim

Stylus: Still same as MS, it can root and improve the UI from apps
[XPERIA X10 General] raundown:
I too upgraded from X1 to X10, the X10 does feel 10 times better than the X1 (hence the name..?)

The reason why I picked X10 is almost the same reason why I picked X1 last year; the looks and the hardware. X1 was quite a powerhouse when snapdragon wasn't available in the market. However as you and I'd agree, X1 isn't a dream machine as we thought. The lagginess and lack of supports from SE quickly turns me off.

Picking the xperia series phone again wasn't an easy decision for me, it feels like I'm going back into the SE trap again. But I reconsider because of the improvement offered in the X10, 1Ghz, big screen, android, and still has the sexy appeal. I have been watching the phone closely for a year ever since there were leaked information on the internet, and reviews after the phone was finally out and eventually, hold my breath and clicked 'Buy Now' on eBay.

X10 is just like the X1, it isnt as impressive as the spec look like. But the difference is its more impressive than the X1, just not as exciting as you might expect. X10 will still give you the 'lag' experience especially at the animations department. To a some people the laginess is unacceptable due to the fact there is a 1Ghz cpu in the house. To me who came from X1 is acceptable because I've seen the worse.

Also believe me or not android isnt as mature as the windows mobile. There are quite a few basic functions the android lacks like task manager etc, and the dialler feels weird (press power button to reject call...?).

So if you still havent made up your mind yet, this is the factors I think you should consider

-are u a physical keyboard person? (I am, but I do not mind virtual keyboard either, I'm currently typing really slow on the phone, and without physical keyboard, u cant do 'blind typing'. I used to type my messages walking on the street without looking at the screen)

-are u a 100% sucker of graphics and animation? sure timescape looks impressive, but not an essential. And u need good looking profile pics of ur friends frm ur Facebook or twitter account to make timescape looks good. Most of my Facebook splines are showing only my friend's nose and lips due to their profile pics, makes my whole timescape look like a joke.

-can you live with android 1.6 until Q4 2010? X10 is my 1st android phone and I have not had the privilege to played with 2.1. So I'm not spoiled from the comfort of 2.1.

-can you live with single touch screen?

-do you expect the phone to perform as fluid as iPhone? IMO I have not seen other phone which can perform better than the iPhone at the animation department (HTC's Sense is pretty close). I personally do not want an iphones cause I've got an ipod touch, apple's control freak, and too many people has it.

And finally my rating! 9/10 :)

Sorry for the long post but I hope I helped, because I have gone through the same decision making ;D

[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Obviously depends on what features you really care about regarding your mobile phone, but OVERALL I think HTC's Desire is hands down the best phone on the market right now. I firmly believe the X10 could be, but in all honesty it could be until November until its potential is fully realized--pending promised firmware and OS updates.

So if you want the best phone,

Right now--HTC Desire

This year--Evo 4G, Samsung Galaxy S, maybe X10!

Satisfaction -- 7/10 X10 Overall -- 8.5/10

Some regret yes -- high cost, questionable updates from SE, poor battery life

X10's performance is not up to N1 or Desire, but other features and potential is why I bought it.
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
Lol yeah, its 10 times better than mine which I stopped using after a few months, went back to my P1. I gave my X1 to my nephew in Srilanka and he loves it. :eek:

Ah thats why some callers are gone when I try to get my phone from back jean pocket :rolleyes:

Veeeeeery happy thank you !! From what I was using (P1) 10/10 (what doesnt have a couple of niggles anyway ??)
[XPERIA X10 General] fast rock:
Very, 9.5/10
[XPERIA X10 General] sergiu84:
Pretty damn satisfied, 8.5/10 (but I'm very difficult to satisfy)

Pros: too many to list, it really is an awesome device.

Cons: while I understand SE's philosophy behind the slow software releases, it doesn't make up for how SLOW they are at releasing them: 6+ months for an update to be customised & tested by them is unacceptable for a top-end device. In all honesty I've found no major issues to WANT the software update, but there are enough to make it a desirable thing to happen.

But, overall, it's a damn nice looking device and it works very well.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I'll give it 8.5 from 10.

Battery life is fine after a week or so when you stop pushing the phone limits :)

I mean, is a smartphone with 1Gig CPU and 4" display... you can't expect the battery to last 4 days like a dumb phone :)

If you use the smartphone, 12h battery is super.

If you turn everything off and use the phone (but i don't see the point) you can get 2days or more.

Design + UI, 10/10...

I don't care much about mediascape but timescape does the job.

Call volume ... i have no idea :) i use MW600 100% and is loud enough.

1.6 vs. 2.1 ?

2.1 will be nice but 1.6 will do it.

I was waiting for Galaxy S until after reading hundred of posts about Samsung "upgrades" :) i gave up.

Yes, will have a better display and divx/xvid support but Samsung has a bad habit to put new phones on market instead of supporting their old models so, pretty much you are stuck with what you buy.
[XPERIA X10 General] StripLV:
I came from X1

Don´t buy a X10. Take a HTC instead. I give 2/10. I hate my X10. Poor hardware. Bad integrated hardware buttons ( bad to handle ), sad USB ( on the left????) No MT, bad Battery, POOR earspeaker quality and not loud enough, NO Sence.

What i hate most:

The Dialer

The Phonebook

The Call Log

The "Back" Hardware Button. Bad to reach. Need always to keep atention the X10 is not falling out of my hand. Why 3 or 4 hardware buttons? what did Google think when they did Android???? I hate also the iphone BUT there you have everywhere a "back" tab.

Instead of building TS and MS, SE should make a better usable interface like HTC ( Dialer..../ Sense) and EVERYWHERE a "Back/Cancel" tab.

AND i cant stand with the "select text" method in Android. That is bull****. Why not make it like it is on every computer ( and WM): wipe with your finger and the long press on the selected text and choose between cut, copy.....

i am thinking to change my X10 to a HD2 BUT THIS has no trackball :eek:

the perfect phone has a Trackball/ DPAD and maybe(!) two (good to handle) hardware buttons: Dial and Dial end/cancel

but there is no such phone on the market....

of course thats just my opinion ( but there are only 2: my opinion and the wrong opinion:) )

the last 4 weeks i made a list what i love on my X10 and what i hate: 2 things i love, 43 i hate. The list is a 17(!!!!) pages long word document and every page is FULL. The list took me about 50-70 hours, NO CHOKE!!!! I would post it here but its in german and to translate it would cost me again lots of hours.....
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
Best phone I have ever owned and I have owned the following phones in the last year:

iphone 3G

HTC Magic

HTC Hero

Nokia N900

People talk about lag but I have seen none. Best battery life of the bunch, too.
[XPERIA X10 General] StripLV:
iphone 3G - i understand THAT!!!

HTC Magic - ? i think its much better than the X10

HTC Hero - ? i think its much better than the X10

Nokia N900 - i dont know this phone
[XPERIA X10 General] Balur:
I'm happy with it I went form the X1 to the X10 and have been a Windows Mobile fan for years. It's taking some getting used to but i'm getting there.

Battery life was a pain until I disabled Timescape and several other services.
[XPERIA X10 General] junexyz:
well i would say i was very frustrating, waited for so long since the phone advertise, here in DUBAI we don't have marketplace inside the package but you can see the box there is marketplace icon weird!!!!!!!!!!!... the only thing that you can enjoy your android is to get some useful apps in the marketplace.... yet there is a word "debranding"and some of frnds manage to debrand there androids in UK version and they have this apps could MARKETPLACE..... but i want my phone to be a virgin as new with out debranding it!!!

rate 5 out of 10....
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
i only miss multitouch as i upgraded from hd2 which has very good multitouch ,i now returned to hd2 as my primary phone ,as i also hate android 1.6 i give it (4 out of 10) and hd2 (8 out of 10 )
[XPERIA X10 General] oco1:
My previous phone was iphone 3G, but with android phone I´m very satisfied!

Look 9/10

Functions 8/10 (missing camera flash, and divx support and a little MT)

Overall 8,5/10

Cons: low call volume (but I have MW600 and with it its great), for that price X10 can have stereo speakers, speed of releasing future updates (hope that SE will release updates faster... 2.1 in Q4 2010 wtf ??!)
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
my x10 has camera flash
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Oh crap... POOR HARDWARE :confused:

MT ... most of the people who spend 600$ on a smartphone don't play games so, who cares about MT?

I don't know about your fingers but the buttons are pretty cool compared with N1.

Bad battery ... well, depends what you expect from a smartphone. I expect 10h and i get 12 ;) so, is ok for me.

Not loud enough ... i think this is the only valid point from your comment but i use the MW600 and i have 0 problems ;)

"NO Sence" + HTC ... HTC are ugly ugly ugly phones and Sense is sooooo booorrrriiiinggggg...
[XPERIA X10 General] QuadESL63:
7/10

-1 on battery life (it does improved a bit after I gave it a few full recharges)

-1 on Android 1.6 (yes, I know what I'm getting into so spare the lecture but still SE should have speed it up and release it with 2.1. Or, have an update sooner like mid year just for the newer OS and release the new features later)

-1 on MoxieMail (gave us a choice to disable it once and for all, please!)

Other than those I'm pretty happy with it. No MT? I don't really find that a necessity except for certain games, etc. I don't care about pinch zoom since I operate my phone with one hand most of the time. And, yes, I have tried MT on iPod Touch and 3G/3GS more than a few times... I do think it has a place in iPad and the new magic mouse but a phone? Not a must have for me.

I don't understand the comments on 'poor hardware': the big screen, even though only have 65K colors (for now?), looks crisp, clear and detailed. Response time is a lot quicker than the X1 (I have one for a week). It has a 8 MP camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon. The thing looks great on the outside too. Not to mention my Rogers branded one comes with a 16G microSD so what more could I ask for?
[Hero CDMA General] bnbaldwin53:
I am computer savvy, began building PCs in the late 70's - early 80's, beginning with DOS 1.0. I know a little basic, a little UNIX, etc., but am not a programmer.

I am as psyched about my HTC Hero Android as I am about Windows 7. I love it! Like all users, I download and delete apps on a fairly regular basis. I also rooted my phone to OS 2.1. Here's my (minor) dilemma; the deleted apps (I think) leave artifacts, files and folders. When I rooted the phone, photos and other files are now in different folders. I also see twice the number of photos and wallpaper as the system seems to be creating logo sized duplicates.

I've been searching, without success, for something that will tell me what the file/folder hierarchy is. What's the structure? How to determine which apps use which folders. Which folders are used by the OS and the mobile OS? I want to be able to keep the memory and SD clean just as I do with my PCs, as well as copy files to the appropriate folders so that they will appear correctly in whatever app should be

calling them up.

I hope all this makes sense. And I hope you know of some source of information, be it a book, blog, or other, that will provide some insight in this domain.
[Hero CDMA General] bnbaldwin53:
Thanks for the help!

I rooted to Damageless' FRESH 2.1.

I have the sdk but have not opened it yet. I'll check out Android Commander.

I have sone some UNIX and did quite a bit in MTOS on large Telecom voice switches, so I can probably eek my way through.

Thanks for the direction BWBL.

[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
basically Android is a dalvik virtual machine(stripped down java for embedded devices essentially) that is sitting on top of a Linux kernel. My understanding is that unless a program has root, it cannot access internal storage, especially write access. All prefs are saved to a database and applications are completely sandboxed, therefore no artifacts will remain on internal memory. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for your SD card. If you grant a program access to your SD card it can **** all over it and the OS doesn't. protect you. I have found that HTCs stuff is guilty of copying pictures all over.
[Hero CDMA General] MagnusRagnarok:
1)Backup apps with androzip.

2)Backup the entire sd to pc(you may need to format but should not).

3)Wipe(data,delvic,uid mismatches). This will get rid of those apk leftovers/uta fc's....

4)Install a fresh copy of damage

5)Now right after initial boot, back up your sd card file structure

6)Drop your pc backup folders in their corresponding freshly set-up counterparts

7)Do yourself a favor and get a good file browser and you can check out the system heirarchy for yourself. These are MY personal faves,

a)androzip-explore sd/free market

b)root explorer-explore system/paid xda

c)astro-both free/market

d)android commander-for pc free/google

e)android sdk is another invaluable tool free/google

If you need further assistance, feel free to pm. Good Luck:D

Awarning just appeared on my hd2 saying my device has viruses. Was directed to Microsoft automatically and a message appeared that attempts to remove it. Is this normal ?.
[HD2 General] fallenmonk:
Almost every folder had a Trojan etc written in red. Don't know if they were removed. Any quick checks possible. Hard reset?.
[HD2 General] fallenmonk:
Just downloaded airscanner trial version. it gave the all clear. The microsoft site was asking me to download some exe files to replace the infected files. How do I know airscanner even works ?.
[HD2 General] the_cool:
are you on stock rom or are you a custom rom flasher? either way, i suggest a task 29 and fresh rom flash, just to be on the safe side.

If not, just back up stuff, hard reset, and format your SD card too to be on the safe side

Unless someone else can clarify, that sounds quite scary, i have yet to hear of anything like that
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Something popped up on your HD2 saying you have trojans? I've never heard of that... what do you have installed? I don't think there is any type of antivirus scanner on the HD2, so I don't know why anything would pop up on your HD2. Are you sure it's sending you to a microsoft site? This sounds like one of those fake virus spyware things that get you to install the virus when you go to the site it takes you to to get rid of the virus.... but I've only seen those on PCs... never on WinMo.
[HD2 General] echardcore:
I have never actually read about cell phone viruses. I have vaguely heard via word of mouth that they are possible, though.
[HD2 General] mideel:
check the url of the microsoft website..it will not be the original one I suppose. There is hardly any virus written for Windows mobile..so either you are one of the lucky guys who come in taste of some new spyware which nobody heard of before or..or..I dont know :D but its very scary indeed.
[HD2 General] smuppy:
If you do find anything I would very much like to get a sample. Please PM me if you can verify you have an infected HD2.

[Edit]

By the way, how did the message appear, through Opera/IE or a standard Windows Mobile messagebox?

lmfao! :D

I bet he got it in the web browser, one of those stupid banners trying to scare people and directing them to dodgy sites.

Hi and sorry for the late reply. I deleted all cookies, history etc in a panic straight away so I cannot verify if was a genuine microsoft site. I was at the time browsing for dvd rippers, logged of but my WiFi was still connected. I had seen that I had gained a mysterious extra 50mb on my device. So I started deleting stuff I don't remember having. Suddenly the warning appeared saying somebody can access my details and all these folders appeared with loads of Trojans etc. Then it said microsoft giving me a exe file to download and to click it. In s panic I reset my ppc. The last thing I had downloaded was the day before which was pocketdivx . Phone seems ok do maybe nothing happened. Thanks for the replies.
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
The only WinMo virus I know of is a dialer which calls certain numbers at a certain moment of the day. Other than that, i SERIOUSLY doubt the actual existence of any other forms of viruses.

IMO, it`s just a stupid app yelling things such as "OMFG 21 VIRUSES BUY THE FULL VERSION SO WE CAN GET U RID OF THEM!!!!11!!1", and after you buy it, every virus magically gets eradicated, leaving the phone "clean". God, I hate this things...

EDIT: Quick thought... 21 viruses/folder means that there are 21 files, all of them having AT LEAST 1kb (the size of an empty text file). Seriously now, can you see any suspicious files in any folder? Exactly. You can't.

I do, can't wait cause i'm broke!!!

Apple would never do something like this, thanks for being so honest Google
[Nexus One General] VSDRAMA:
well i just calculated it

these are my numbers

8.875% = NYC Sales Tax

529.00 = RETAIL Price

-250.00 = Discount

8.875% of (529.00 - 250.00) = $24.76125

not much of a refund i guess but its good they are being honest...

I got the same email today too
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Do you guys live in states with a sales tax?

I got mine forwarded to AUS via oregon, which i don't believe has sales tax. I did not pay any import tax, So i am assuming that at no point did i pay tax for the phone, would that be right? or do they put tax on at the time of purchase?
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
I paid full price...529 + 46 nys tax.

Im assuming i dont apply.

so, this doesn't apply to the people that bought it at full price or does it? i didn't get an email yet... :(

Got that email yesterday as well. I guess we were too excited to actually check the sales tax we paid?
[Nexus One General] wesbalmer:
I looked at the sales tax I paid through google checkout, and then cross referenced that through my bank account, and I paid the correct ammount. Hmmmmm, maybe a global refund of the 20+ dollars?
[Nexus One General] 3bs:
It wouldn't apply because you paid the correct sales tax. Google was taxing for the full price when people were buying at the subsidized price.
