Which Android Device are you planning to get?

With the announcement of many new Android phones, I'm a bit torn on which to get. I'm just curious where everyone else is headed.
I think I'll be making the switch from WM (had a Touch pro) to an Android based phone. I'm leaning heavily towards the Xperia X10.
How about you guys?
Edit:
This may not be the right spot to put this thread, but I don't think it fit into the others that well. Please move this as seen fit.

Hehe, I've just sold my HD2 for the poor OS.
I've dreamed an HD2 device with Android!
I've bought an HTC Desire. I'll receive it in a mounth. Now I'm with my OLD GOOD Nokia 6630 LOL!

So far, if everything is 100% okay with the X10, the only drawback I see to owning one is that it won't be supported by the XDA community.
Anyone else looking at this phone?

i was expecting the new htc phones to buy a new phone and i 'm glad i did waited. i am VERY attracted to HTC Legend cause of its style and design but i want the performance of desire too. if there is a gap in price between them i will go for legend else it's desire.
Read my comparison of the two and tell me any difference there is in bewtween these two phones!!!

i want the desire!!!
but im on verizon..ugh
imhoping verizon gets a new NICER looking phone then the droid

iPhone 4g?

Just picked up a Nexus One.

hmmmm , i was thinking about an acer liquid e(eclair 2.1) .... will it be worth waiting ? or just buy an acer liquid (donut) and hope for an eclair upgrade ??? i think this phone is quite a powerhouse , and is about the same price with a hero ( maybe a little cheaper in my country around 50E - ro ) what do u think ?

I too am looking into it. I can't wait to have it in my hands. Then, and only then will I decide to got the HTC HD2 or SE X10 route.

im really anticipating the xperia x10. hope att doesnt drop the ball with this seeing as how they locked the backflip up to an extent

Really!?
None of you thought about the Dell Mini 5 (aka Streak)?

May be getting offerd a new contract due to the faults on my x10 - what phone?

Well being on my second handset and having serious problems the that even the shop cannot get sony to sort out [virtually un usable reboots + overheating] I may be getting offered a new contract if they can rather than a 3rd x10. What would you go for? UK - Orange, thinking desire HD. Love my x10 appart from all the problems with my un-luckiness but never mind will be glad to be rid of the problems

Desire HD is great, but everybody sais that the battery last only for a half day. If I were you I would get a Nexus S or a Galaxy S (maybe Desire Z)

4G capable.

Anything not maunfactured by Sony Ericsson.

Do you think you could get a short term phone.. and then arc?

I think stock android is extremely ugly. And also, the Nexus S isn't exactly a looker... might be hard to adjust from the X10
I say wait for the Arc

I think you'd have to be retarded to buy an arc personally.. after seeing how they do business.

Agree 100%
better to get Galaxy S . HTC's service is good but i didn't like most of their smartphones i bought (Pure - HD - Diamond ) And they have a bad signal and battery doesn't last long.

Couldn't agree with you more. I actually went through X1, X2 and X10 before I woke up.
You won't have to worry about buying the Arc anyway. It will be released 6-9 months late like every other SE "flagship".

I also think you should go for the Arc at least i am. I have been extremely happy with the X10 and dont really care about SE Updates being late as all i care is being able to mod it and have devs supporting it. All the people complaining from SE are just ...idk you decide, just look at all other companies Apple, Samsung, Htc they all have their own problems just look in their forums and see the same story..people screaming f..k Samsung never again f...k Htc etc.. I really do a lot and i mean alot of research before i buy a phone and let me tell you the x10 suited me alot more than a galaxy s or a desire or an iphone and ive had the galaxy s (just horrible phone...fast but unreliable plastic garbage so i said never Samsung) and i still have an iphone 4 well my wife does..that phone is so limited its not even funny..anyway all im saying is do not listen to never SE again and etc.. SE have been making nothing but great reliable devices. Now the Arc is coming with the latest software so i dont think you should worry about any updates soon and plus x10 has a very good comunity here and i beleive the Arc will also and it will probably be the same people that own the x10 and more. Do your research and see what you like and what you want to do with the phone, remember its what you like not someone else.

I think they are changing their strategy.. they admitted that they went about the X10 series in the wrong way.. I'm going to wait for the Q2 flagship, which should be a dualcore with ffc(not that i need one) but it will be a lot snappier I hope

By saying "We know we made mistakes..... butttt we aren't going to do anything about it", they are simply trying to convince previous customers this experience will be better, while at the same time winning over new customers who might have heard bad things about the x10, et al.
Just a lame marketing ploy. Now, if they were willing to actually step up and at least give us froyo, I, for one, would change my tune greatly.
I would be telling my friends to get the arc instead of the opposite (as I do love my x10, thanks to the community on here.), as I just hate the way sony ericsson choose to do business.

The Arc looks so good, I'm willing to forgive any of SE's sins
One device I'd really like to have in the interim is a Desire Z. 1.8Ghz baby
The Desire Z (T-mobile G2) is almost universally considered to be a good device. Better battery life than Desire HD i think. LOTS of developer support.

Too right, never getting an SE phone again.
Nexus is my next phone... in 23 months lol :|

Replacement for X10

Now the X10 has reached the end of the road and new contract in 6 months do we stick with SE ie X12 Arc. Or what, Would defenitly buy one supported by J,Z and the rest of the team.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

for me, X12(Arc) is overrated.. Is too much for a mobile phone..
I'll stick with my X10 beast.

Your right, love my X10, hate SE. XDA are kings.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

The only advantage of X12 is camera, with XDA you can get the same performance like X12.
Just my opinion.

lol you got to be kidding me right you gonna be suckered into buying another SE product just be screwed over when they release the next phone ?
never again ...

They openly stated that they messed up with the X10 and did not know what peoples prios were. They also said that they have a completely different plan for working with the Arc. If i had they money, i would defenantly get one! It's still the best looking phone with the hands down best camera and gps, 2 things i look for in a device. So dont be so fast in putting SE off.

We never got screwed at all. Se only promist 2.1 update. They keept all there promis if i dont remember wrong ? Im so sick of all the folks trolling about how mutch the X1 sucks... It not as bad how you want it to be. So se wont update longer as promist, like htc dose it. But its still a good phone. So stop wining !
And i would also go for the arc ( the hd video out is also a nice thing )
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

will stick to my x10, disapointed to SE..

I still can't do voice dialing on my X10a despite the update to 2.1. SE keeps forgetting that a smartphone is first and foremost a phone.
I'm currently have my eyes on the upcoming Motorola Atrix 4G.

I'll stick to XDA, fck SE

the only replacements that come to mind are:
if u into great looking phones : Xperia Arc
if u want poweful phone: LG Optimus X2 / Motorola Atrix / HTC ??? (they will be announcing one based on Terga2 chip at MWC)

Three things I'll be considering on my next Android (not anytime soon)
1. Upgradability
2. Design/Specs
3. XDA Support
The Arc isn't much of an upgrade from the X10 if you ask me. It's too early still. I'm waiting for something that'll blow me away.

Yeah buy the arc and get screwed again and left behind as android versions pass you by..no thanks!
Get htc or lg..should have lots of choice shortly too. Dual core phones are going to be amazing

Love my x10 but hate SE for screwing with us ,
Personally I dont think much oF SE ARC ,

of course sir.

Yep i do that everyday i bore them i ask useless questions about x8

next time ask them about gingerdx

and learn english for gods sake.

absolutely agree with the title, coz (i think) SE only care with arm7, just like X10 that already have their GB.

Now this is a kick in the nuts to our stock X8s...
http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/06/vodafone-smart-review/

i think SE made X8 in as medium smartphone with low price
to give our chance trying Android OS
so ... this why i'm pay X8
after we know what is android, we love it
then we ask for more

just forget SE..

And thank God on that, else I'd prolly go insane...

come on xperia x8 user. rise up...and wake up. there will be no update for x8. even do you can install custom roms. but, it wouldn't do no good. cannot run with the current specs. i follow x8 for too long now and i already trade my x8 with samsung galaxy mini. its really worth it. yes, i admit the UI and phone is not that good, but the Android is too good to be true. imagine a low cost phone can run android 2.3.4 and have 284mb of RAM. trust me you wouldn't regret when you buy this phone.

Oh yeah, we "wouldn't regret" buying a phone that's like the x8 with more ram (and slightly more internal storage), but a smaller and crappier (256K) screen. Come on...
I know that sony won't update the X8. It's no use doing that to them, because they want to sell newer phones, but I would never go to a smaller screen.

We dont need se updates , we have doixnah, racht and lot of other great devs and community which making x8 better

Just by looking at the screen of galaxy mini you can say x8 is far better. Besides we have fully working CM6 (2.2) and CM7(2.3) ROMs that WORK quiet nicely on x8 hardware.

what about optimus one ? ... the price is around the price of X8 and LG will update from froyo to gingerbread , plus have 512 mb of memory , i don't buy the Optimus one because is sold out in the store when i buy my x8. but since i know XDA and people like Doixanh i don't regret of it, i am happy with my x8 right now ... and i hope that in a future will come more improvements to our phones

who cares?
se forgot us
well even if they didnt they could not deliver what our devs are doing
and they are already loosing loads of money and making no profit
their xperia play was a epic flop
and xperia neo never came really into the markets
its just the arc which is a bit too pricy compared to the fab htc sensation and samsung galaxy s2
and till the next set of phones arrive it will be january

Could not agree more.

Only if Gingerbread DX perfected with fully support for flash lite at least,
then I'll keep my x8 for 1 year more. Go to H3LL S.E!!

buying xperia x10i or not?

I've found an offer for the x10i used,but now i'm wondering:
cm7 and miui are stable?becouse if those rom aren't good enought I wont buy this phone >_<

x10 is old, save your money buy something better.

Don't buy unless extremely cheap!

really? >_>

yeah u can get much better phones now, this one is old now but we all have it cause we bought it when it was new and there's a great community, but I'm sure we would all like a better phone (which there are many available)
