[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
They only make one phone, no wonder they have time for updates. And yet they only release one major update a year. Sony makes much more electronics than Apple. So don't start with that nonsense. There is also no official statement that froyo will never come to the x10, yet there are rumors that it will. The difference isn't that big between 2.1 and 2.2 compared to 1.6 and 2.1. You also have to know that the big updates in the software update were not compatible with older phones. For example : the lack of multitasking in iOS4 with iphone 3g and ipod.

I'm a 21 year old student in electronics engineering, i know what i'm talking about.

The only good iphone was the first one, and only because it had a good OS compared to the rest. The hardware was always much worse than the hardware of competitors. At the moment iOS4 is lagging behind, it has features android has had for ages. Multitasking is very usefull, when i'm listening music i don't have to turn it off to read messages or browse webpages. Even my old SE K750 did it. What i find funny is that Apple claims it does multitasking the right way, but they don't.

1) The 3gs is slower, my x10 doesn't have lag. It only lags in the widget menu, but that's a bug that's going to be resolved in the next update. The x10 boots faster than other android devices. It has the fastest memory. The iphone 4 loads webpages slower than android devides, yet it can't render flash so it should be faster.

2) The x10 has options the iphone 4 lacks like face recognition. Sony Ericsson has always been the leader in camera phones. I doubt the iphone 4 takes better pictures than this :

3) Vivaz or x10 doesn't matter, they both are the best in the android market. Vivaz has continious autofocus and the x10 will have it too after the update. The iphone 4 doesn't have this. It also doesn't seem to auto adjust the iso : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ZFU0tetko

You can clearly see that the x10 adjusts the brightness when it looks at the white wall. The iphone 4 doesn't react to it, it just leaves it over saturated.

4) I have a black x10, but it doesnt make any noise. And i really doubt it's only a problem on the white one. And if it is, they still managed to make a white one unlike apple... They won't fix the antenna, that's why they said it's not their problem, that's why they said there is no design fault, that's why they hand out bumper cases to calm the crowd. I can't belive people still support a company that has this mentality, Steve Jobs thinks he can do everything, and say what you need to do or can't do. I'm not an idiot, i clearly see no advantage in getting an iphone 4. Why would i pay 200€ more to be limited with a phone that has less options, can't do multitasking right, has a problem with the proximity sensor and can't maintain a connection? When i hold my x10 the reception doesn't even go down. Why? Because Sony Ericsson knows how to build a phone, they know they can fix the software easily unlike the hardware.

5) You can't modify the look of iOS like you can with android. It's a closed system and therefore alone it is crap.
