Not a fan of the X10? What are your thoughts on it?

No, not really a fan the biggest drawback for me was the screen- it seemed to scratch really easily (i know this can be solved by a screen protector). Another reason is the crappy customer service from SE. I know the devs have rooted the device and it will only be a matter of time before they crack the bootloader but i am impatient and want to flash custom roms now. But apart from that the phone is a solid device. Generally just missed my HD2

Nyagaha! Finally!

After a month of chewing my nails to bloody stumps.
Finally.
It arrived.
No! Wait! THEY arrived.
Yes, they are back in stock at o2. They were so grateful for my custom them sent me .. two XDA Execs.
W00t.
Well for now.
Courier was laughing his ass off anyway ..
Said, 'happy christmas!'.
Hehe.
Well anyway this one is new. Shiny, smells of new cars. Screen is NOT as blurry and washed out as other one was. So thats a definate indication I didnt get a new one before ..
Anyway now I am going to get it home and strip the nuts off it.
Started by booting into corporate mode.
Now I need to get some nice software to customize the today screen and hack on the ext rom a bit now Buzz has cracked it.
Damn feel good!

Did you ask o2 for "Stereo Phones"? Now you can make yourself look a right berk by holding a brick up to both ears! ROFL
PS: Sorry I couldn't get the Emoticons to work, but meant the above as a joke!

Got mine today! BUT - don't let your wife near it!

i got mine today after days of frustration with tmobile! at long last i thought! what a beautiful little slab of magnificence......i had it for all of twenty minutes before my wife nabbed it! now its here phone and i'm stuck with my bloody touch pro2. gutted!
nothing new here...just thought i'd warn y'all!
back hand the woman and tell her to get back into the kitchen and make you some food!
j/k =)
smart wife!!!
I bought my wife a HTC Diamond 2 a day before I ordered my HD2.
She gets mad when I won’t let her touch my HD2 w/o my supervision....
Oh well, I have seen her drop her phone 6x on the kitchen floor in the past 1.5months she's had it. I'm not taking the risk!
Just buy her one too. I always ask my wife if she wants one, when I get a new phone.
Problem solved
send your gf/wife to a finger nail artist at your expense, it's almost impossible to use a touchscreen phone with those long finger nails
Luckily my gf would find this phone too big for her tiny little hands. Small hands make anything she holds look far bigger!
They're buy one get one free, go back and get one for yourself!

Buahahahaha, i craped my pants
I thought I should share. in Dec 2008 I bought an iPhone for my wife and Xperia X1 for myself. She still has that iphone but I moved from X1 to X2 and then HTC european version and then Austrlian version which works on ATT US.
Now she tells me that iphone is the best since she has not changed it then where I got 4 phones.
Now we have fun bashing each others phone.
Well, I was thinking about X10
My wife doesn't touch the HD2. She thinks its too complicated to use compared to her mytouch.
She wants my iPhone though, but I'm keepng it.

v.wise
*clears throat*
Excuse me my dear sweet husband . . . .
Lets please be reminded who is paying for this phone. AS for you carrying the phone I think it is only fair I carry the HD2 because you said I'd love the Motorola cliq and that was a lie. It was clearly nothing like the G1 and I trusted your geeky opinion. I think they should revok your membership here clearly on the basis that you have no clue.
AS for the wet farts who told you to ***** slap the mofo exsqueeze me. you should be shaking the hand of a woman like me who can appreciate the value of a extraordinary phone. i may not be the triple tapped gadget calendar girl but trust me you will rarely come across someone who posses a vagina who will put down that kind of money for a mini computer.
And as a woman with small hands it does look rather large in my hands but as any man can appreciate the tight grip i hold on it without it actually being dropped and smile with pride because a girl gets it is all I need. And as for my nails I had them done last week and they are sports cut to enhance my qwerty keyboard speed. Ninja like moves, cat like reflexes!!
xxxx
wow...NOW who got ***** slapped!?!?
damn i should never have shown her this!
damn man better luck next time...lol Busted

I had a go on iphone 4 yesterday lol

This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!
Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"
Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.
I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.
I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

I have to agree, I'm so used to my hd2 that whenever I use my ipod touch, I get frustrated with the size. Especially the keyboard!

i love both but i lean more towards the iphone but i lost that a long time ago
pmsl since I posted the 1st post I have just found out that my sister has returned the phone due to keep freezing and locking up and they wont take it back hahaha but she did ask the salesman what other phones would he recommend and he said xperia x10 or the htc hd2 and then she said what phone do you own and he said the HTC HD2..... I rest my case.....
my sister is not impressed !!!! anyone want to buy an iphone4 hahaha

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.

Unfortunately, the counter video is nowhere near as hilarious as the original. The original is just awesome, even my friend with an iPhone 4 thinks so

thats not a conter, it needs to be better then the original to be a counter.. this one is like made of 10 year old kids who got depressive in comparing their iphones to other devices like the evo.

Smashed? Like broken screen or completely broken device? If it's just the screen, break them both up and swap the screen out with the back up one.
Bye Bye!!! I think this is about the 6th thread you've started in the dev forum that has absolutely nothing to do with developement.
If you dont know how to care for smart phones, I strongly suggest you stick to other genres of phones.
I dont mean this with any condescension. If you are typically a clumsy person, it doesn't make logical sense to keep buying expensive devices.
kinda stupid to bring it to a concert anyway
uhmm

This is good bye from The Gingerbread Man (temp)

Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............
Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk
can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone
Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.
What to say i feel bad
I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate

lol you're sad about that?
dude that's the best thing ever.. the neo processor and gpu is a hundred times better. plus true multitouch
the x 10 bootloader being unlocked isn't going to amount to what people think.
you lucked out huge.
it is tomorrow i leave for my holiday, 2 weeks time il be back and hopefully have a phone, mine still isnt back from repair, im leaveing for manchester airport at 5am uk time so looks like no phone to take on holiday. Im sad without it and iv missed loads since iv been gone only one week.
