Looking Awesome
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/31/new-sony-ericsson-rachael-ui-video-hits-still-looks-nothing-lik/
Seriously... this is exactly something which Android needs... It looks beautiful and it will appeal to not only the "Mobile Geek" market but the average standard market too... it purely being a Sony Ericsson will help it alot aswell.
I wonder if HTC will have any involvement in the Xperia X3 as they did with the X1 meaning that XDADevs will have a forum for it?
EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know, the "leaked" specs on this device are:
256mb RAM
512MB Rom
1ghz Snapdragon Processor
4 inch touchscreen
Micro SD Port
8mp camera
0.3mp secondary camera (video calling)
My question is why haven't we gotten a Music app like this yet? It's absolutely killing Android right now. I've tried almost all of them to no avail. We shouldn't need a whole new UI for a good music app.

You have a good point, the music app needs some serious work on, it's too plain.
yeah this would really give android an edge
Isn't this Android? That's what this says

can't wait for dumps of this! (although i am not too sure whether our G1's will be able to run the apps of that phone, since it has a 1Ghz CPU... well, we're gonna see what it is able to do )
P.S.: Well it's not just the Music UI that is interesting, look at that SEXY "timescape" thingo
The picture gallery is fanstic looking as well.
Hopefully its all smooth.

Yeah the whole thing is Sexy but when I posted this the New Music UI video had only just been released (concept video for the skin was released ages ago) and now the whole thing has been announced and demoed.

I am running the 1.6 and i would say the camera is very good better than any camera i ever had on any HTC device. But the camera is a lot better in 2.1 i have read

well I have HD2 also, and the cam is pretty good. but on the 1.6 of my Streak is the shutter lag really terrible. much slower as of the HD2...and the flash is very poor... If the quality doesnt get better in 2.1 i will have to send the Streak back
Does anyone know if the dell streak will allow you to keep the flash on while recording video? Any difference in this from 1.6 vs 2.1 or if it makes a difference?
Also, I know it's off topic but can you watch youtube videos in HQ in the youtube app?
The camera has been improved, but not by much. At least it's usable now though.
The 720p filming is pretty damn good though
and yes, you can watch HQ videos in the youtube app.

Thanks Meltus, How about having the flash on while recording video. I know that is mainly a froyo thing but some devices with 2.1 have implimented it so though it may be possible on a new device. One can dream..
Also, was the 720p only added with the 2.1 update?
I have also heard horror stories about the keyboard on 2.1. That is probably the only thing keeping me from forcing this update. How do you like the keyboard with the 2.1 update?
The camera is slightly better, but the app is now hideous. It really is ugly and far less usable. However we should remember the leaked ROM is beta at best, its not an official release.

No, there's no flash (will probably come with 2.2) and they've also got rid of the zoom-before-you-film, which is annoying.
Yes, 720p was only added with the 2.1 beta leak.
They keyboard isn't as bad as everyone says, whilst it is a HUGE step backwards it is still usable (i use swype anyway, so it doesn't bother me).
But the camera layout is now dreadful, because when you go into the settings menu and select something, you cannot then go back to change something else, you have to close the settings menu then re-open it, which is VERY annoying.
I have hd2 with custom nrg rom and android 2.2. i was thinking of changing it for desire hd but are there any advantages except the camera.
tnx
Better processer, better gpu, better build quality, better sound, better screen and more internal storage.
Its just better

Even running Android on the HD2, while good, isn't as good as a Desire HD. I know. I upgraded from it

LOL, if you are asking yourself this question and even are asking it on a forum dedicated to the Desire HD, the question must be rhetorical I speculate that you are looking for really good arguments that will stop you from buying one.
I bet you already have one right now
still not available in my country
i'm still waiting to become available in macedonia . So guys you say that the android port for hd2 will never be like the stock one on desire hd. when it arrives I'm definitively going to buy it

you know its right
the new HTC sense on DHD is actually really really good!
I think this is what android should be. there are loads of subtle and nice functions such as notification for switch battery usage profile when battery below 15%, the super fast boot time (oooh yeahhh!)
and also HTC Hub that allows download of HTC's own app and functions.
and the software runs really smoothly on the hardware. All my android device in the past has suffered some degree of sluggish performance and glitches when running app (like occasional pause and etc.), particularly when compare to iPhone. But DesireHD is in a different class, its just really really smooth.
very impressive.
I ask the same question .. and I think I'll stay on WM for a while yet. I only have HD2 for a year, it's still in top shape. It does all I need it for, I invested some money into software, and if I want to play with android, I can just reboot. And DHD roms will soon get ported to HD2 I believe.
So I will wait till some problem shows up (like battery condition for example). There are some other cool android devices expected in summer next year, so let's see.
I must fight the urge to buy every cool phone which is just released
Ive posted some videos of comparison between both
Alright fellas! pls don't shoot me if im repeating a common question, im currently using an HTC Desire & my friends are telling me that their galaxy S i9000 is better. I've done my research & I kinda like it but there is alot of negative vibe cus of the gps & video calling features.
I have 4 questions:
a. Is video calling practical both on wifi/3g? And what apps can we use to make video calls((Skype, Fring, Tango, gtalk{ve used gtalk video calling on my N900}))?
b. Is the internal memory(RAM) is sufficient for apps?
c. And does it gives problem for gps locking using maps.?
D>> Would you buy Galaxy S over HTC Desire, keep in mind desire has a solid Sense UI?
Im ready to make a move but im much concerned before i make a move, Im quite happy with my desire. You help is much appreciated. thanks.
I compared my SGS with my friend's Desire the other day, when he was doing something with his HTC and he said "hey download this and that..." and I was embarrased that my SGS was so laggy (seconds to open maps, to respond to touch, pinch...) and also the GPS worked like a charm, when with my SGS I want to throw the phone to someone because it doesn't get a lock D
But don't worry, I disabled some applications and widgets from Beautiful Widgets and it's as fast as a lightning. I think it's the file system so you need a lag fix, you can download from here DDDD
I'm running stock Froyo JPO. People here are running JPZ and custom ROMs and they perform way better and have better GPS.
The screen is way better than Desire, and the processor/GPU too.

Thanks for the input my friend but you didnt asnwer my questions.
I dont thinnk it worths givng all this money just for a little better screen...There is very few things that Desire cant do but SGS can and those things dot worth 400 euroes..
fring works for me on 3g and wifi both very good
b.no u can never have enough ram but i barrely see force closes it is enough to doesn't getting annoying
c.gps works, ,ok'' for me but it sure has some problems for some
d yes any day the display blows ur mind two of my coworker have the desire one oled the other slcd in my oppinion the difference is huge
beside of that my sgs is alot faster but there phones aren't modded so u can't compare that.... beside of that the desire has a better build quality imo
but if u have a desire don't get the sgs it isn't worth it

alright! so 3 votes agaisnt SGS...
just need 2 more votes and im done. ill stick to desire
Unless you need 720p recording, or are rich, you are using a device which is the same generation device as the SGS anyway.. Why do you think it makes sense to upgrade?
I think you are wrong about the telus or i9000t it is na 3g and has a front facing camera.. look at the ones at newegg.com and xpansys-usa.com

In my urge to find something "different" I'm considering purchasing an X10, but all the reviews say it's just terrible...
Honestly, how bad can it be? Is this just tainted blood from when it was first released on 1.6? Am I wrong in thinking that it's a very usable device, either with the latest updates, or on a rom from the dev section?
I'd say wait another month when it gets Gingerbread and look for reviews then.
Right now, I wouldn't recommend buying it, no matter what custom rom you put on it. There are better phones you can get with the same price.
Ofcourse, I love the design, camera, UI, etc but the screen is so unbelievably bad right now, it goes over anything else
What do you mean the screen is bad? Response or the image on the screen?

The screen isnt that bad at all. And theres always gonna be better devices for the same price no matter what device you have. There are better devices, but how much are you willing to spend?

I totally agree.
Most of the people that reviewed the x10 used it with Android 1.6.
IMHO, it's as bad as you think it is. But as Mr Patchy said what's the most important thing or feature do you want on a phone?
In my case, I just want a stylish, camera phone that has ANY Android OS in it be 1.6, 2.1 or 2.3, so with or without the GB update, I am quite satisfied.
Of course, any new features are welcome.

Well yes....but not 1.6. If you can remember 1.6 the screen was terrible!!! But since 2.1 SE adjusted colors and made it a very nice display imho. But, yes I to find it important to have a quality camera on my phone....big big reason why I ditched my nexus one for my very first X10. Then everything else just fell in place. I loved the phone the day i got it and never looked back....and that was when it was on 1.6 lol.

I need a quality cam, reliable signal, decent battery life, and a usable messaging system, with an accurate keyboard.
That's about it.
Camera, signal, and battery life are just fine. It's not the fastest phone. It's still pretty laggy even when optimized. Things should really improve with the 2.3 upgrade but even with that, there are faster, more powerful, and featured phones out there.
For the average smartphone user, the major downside to this phone is the low in call volume. I've had to purchase a bluetooth speakerphone for the car (which is great actually). Taking a call in a loud environment is awful.

Id say go for it. You dont sound to demanding, and you dont sound like you need the best of the best. The X10 is pretty pleasing in my experience.

I've had my x10 since march. Ive had other droids before and an iphone as well but what i really needed was the great camera that the x10 does have. I've always read people having problems with low in call volume but I can say that i've never had that problem myself. I never used the phone with 1.6, when i got it the 2.1 update was already released, so i never experienced the dreadfulness (some say) that was the 1.6 rom.
The x10 is a very beautiful and stylish phone (specially the white one) with an outstanding camera, HD video and android. I can agree, that the rom (The SE one anyway) is not the fastest or more responsive thing on earth, but I don't find it too horrible either. now that it has the dual touch, the large display is a lot better to handle, even if not perfect.
I say go for it. try to find the one dubbed x10 HD (one that comes with 2.1 out of the box), because it is my understanding that it has a better display module that looks even better than the first x10s did.

If you want to make calls with your phone DON'T buy a X10! The in-call volume still is the worst I ever experienced in my life. All those updates, hacks or custom kernels didn't change anything. When you aren't in a church or library understanding someone is a challenge.
Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk
One thing to consider is how long you plan to use this phone. The X10 Is about to receive android 2.3. This however will be the last official android upgrade that it will receive. I'm close to the end of a 2 year contract so this is not such an issue for me. Granted if you are planning to use a custom roms it won't be a big issue for you either.

It's stability ranges from no issue's at all to overheating, "usb & chipset" death.
Support from SE is very much lacking.
The x10 does not do well in low signal area's and will overheat and chew thru the battery on 3G.
The camera is nice but unfortunately lacks a flash.
The screen is great even with only 16Bit color.
It's upto you but i would suggest another handset.

Did you use the X10 on 1.6? There is a very big noticeable difference between 1.6 and 2.1. While they didnt give us 16m colors they did adjust the colors. Some of the same wallpapers and widgets i used then and now proove a massive difference. Not exactly sure how or what they did...but something was adjusted lol.

Ive noticed in bad areas it has its problems...sometimes even drops my call. But i most certainly remember my old nexus one had a very similiar issue where i live. When i had the galaxy s i didnt experience such issue...but that was only like a week...and my samsung focus has been by far the greatest. Not a single issue no matter where ive been.
