Thinking of buying one for the remainder of my contract. X10 is kind of boring me!
Now both devices have 2.3.3, Can anyone make a better comparison of the two? Performance battery etc?
Anyone else made the swap from x10 to galaxy or vice versa?
Ask chiefy009 he did recently!
Imo the galaxy s is a much better phone.
The gpu is awesome (was the best when it was put out and still to this day outperforms many modern gpus.. i.e. adreno 205), the screen is incredible, better call quality, true multitouch
Galaxy S or S2 the way to go. between $400 for Galaxy S and $600 for Galaxy S2, I am inclined to go with S2.
I currently own the sluggish X10i...
galaxy s :no flash or led/camera only 5MP/Slightly lower resolation.display is good but i think you might want to go for something more future proof.Galaxy S is just plain old.not much to gain.go for galaxy s2 or HTC sensation or wait for nexus prime.its your choice though.just trying to help
Could maybe get one off ebay for around £150 if im lucky.
It is tempting for the next 9 months, then see whst available in April/may when my upgrade is available!

lots to gain actually... Like I said the gpu still beats adreno 205 and it is a year older
Also WAY more dev support/custom roms than us.
True multitouch? Maybe some people don't care but I do... I like being able to play games and type without the touch points freaking out
For how cheap you can get them for, it is a great phone

i take your point brother.(i have an arc with Aderno 205 overclocked to 1.4)
Been told by o2 i can upgrade now, 8 months early.
Will cost me £113, then the cost of the phone depeding no the tariff i pick etc.
So could be aswell to do that, for the sake of £150 could have SGS 2.
Just knowing my luck, ill get it, and then the SGS 3 will be announced. I know its coming out just not sure when etc?!?

Yeah I was looking at that actually, awesome price. I saw the video of the beta unit and it didn't look that great. I'll wait till it's actually released to pass judgement though, if it's good it'll be my next phone
Just to give you a little bit of advice from a previous owner and I've been through all the stages your considering ..
Had the x10. Bad phone. Sony Ericsson let it down. Don't get me wrong was great at the time but the novelty quickly wore off.
Quickly replaced with the galaxy s1. Brilliant. Lower res camera and screen but I'm sure SE done some sort of pixel combination thing cause the pictures looked slightly blurred at close range (imagine a stretched 4mp picture). The galaxy s1 however gave none of these issues here. Amazin. Everywhere else (literally) the s1 betters it.
Sold it about two months later when I was offered an s2 by orange. Heads up they've kinda shown off other variants (Google Samsung note for one). However, oh. My. God. S2 all the way. Battery amazing, speed even better and the camera and flash are absolutely stunning.
That been said, it's a bit big (wider and taller) than the x10. Result? I've just got myself an x10 mini and sold the s2 cause it's just too big and I'm always scared I'll damage it as a result.
Honest verdict? Second best phone in the world. As much as I hate to admit it, iPhones (purely for their polish and software finishing) are still on the top spot. Get the S2 buddy.
Oh yeah, GPS + the screen on the S2 are AMAZING.

I was mis-informed, it would be £153, plus £59 for the phone.
I have about 8 months left on my contract.
Plan would then be, 600 mins, unlim txts 500mb net, insurance for £42 a month!
Basically if i can sell my X10 for £100.
Ill have paid £113 for a galaxy s2 (£213 -100) And then an extra £7 a month for my contract.
Seem worth it?

Done, £213 one off payment. Hope i get around £100 for my X10. which means ive bought out my last 8 months of contract and got a SGS 2For £113.
Bargain.

I have to agree with him,
Why go for X10? just wait a couple of months then go for the Xperia ARC or Play, heck even Xperia Neo will be soon released
sync it to Sony Sync from ur X1 and then Sync back to X10.
I'm using both X1 and X10 )

There's some good news regarding the arc's price. However, it's still above his price range. However, the neo will fit better than the X10 Now, the hardware you're talking about is apparently much different than you expected...

Nothing. He's just saying that the newer models have better hardware specs than the x10...better screen with true multitouch, more optimized CPU, more RAM. It still remains to be seen how responsive they will be though.
I have the same dilemma.
I can not wait for two more months for the Arc or Neo. And their initial price will surely be real high.
Plus, I'm actually having 2nd thoughts if they would really perform as expected.
So I was thinking, if I could get an X10 now for half the price of the Arc, wait a few more months while watching the early birds get their hands on the new devices, then maybe after 6 months, if the Arc or Neo lived up to as promised, that's the time to buy either of the two. If not, I'll settle for my modded X10 or best, get an HTC.
I'd buy X10, if it costs 300 euros Arc will probably cost more than 500. OK, it's only a difference of 200 but you never know when you could need them
As I said in the past, the only good things of Arc (for me) are Gingerbread, Bravia display and HDMI. No double core processor, no more RAM, and no more quality in camera (no matter if it has Exmor technology). Multitouch isn't really needed. So let's say is not a significant improvement (MY opinion).
That's in case you want to save money and have a good phone at the same time. Otherwise, if you wanna spend more and have a high featured phone, HTC models are for you or you could even consider Motorola Atrix, those phones can offer you the same as Arc or even more for a similar price. However, if you still want to get a SE phone, you already know what your options are and what phones will come from this brand.
I also recommend you to read the specs. of each phone very closely.
Good luck in your decision
haha I just bought my first high end android phone, the AWESOME Xperia X10 for $200 on craigslist yesterday!! I LOVE IT!!! The difference between my old Galaxy I7500 and this phone is like the difference between a toyota corolla and a ferrari haha! I just upgraded to 2.1 and rooted and installed xrecovery with the dual touch and the jit! This phone is soooooooo fast!
before my top device comes out, better ones are coming out or at least rumored too...i understand technology but this is too fast for me, jeez at least let me buy one first before coming out with the next better thing...

ps im talking processor speed btw
No thanks. I'll pass on a pantech product.
Is computer hardware or phone tech moving faster
Im not sure what's worse, pantech or kyocera. I think pantech phones would be alright if the UI was better.
Faster doesn't always = better.
Pantech & TFT kinda detracted from the wow factor too.
I oddly like the name "Vega Racer". Why? I'm scared to ask myself.
they look like crappy iphones...IMO..
You need to stop looking at it that way and be happy by how fast the market is going. Would you prefer it if we're still sitting on 500MHz processors like in 2009?
No no not at all, I hear your side too, it just that I would like to get my Evo 3d befirevits outdated by q better processor

The evo 3d uses the same chipset.
I said this a couple of weeks ago. By the time the 3D comes out there will be 3 or 4 more phones with better specs set to drop a couple weeks/months later. Look at the Samsung phone that just leaked on Tmobile.. the Hercules.

The cpu inside the Hercules is the same family as the dual core Snapdragon found in the Evo 3d.
It's not just hardware you have to look at, it's also software. I'm not a huge fan of Sense, but Sense is pretty smooth.

Your point was by the time the 3d is out, there will be faster devices out. You then referenced the Hercules, which will most likely have near same performance of the 3d, but probably borked support from Samsung.
Interesting...but pantech? No thanks.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, might be same family but isn't the 3d at 1.2 dual core?
And I totally get your point, I feel outdated just three months later. Same reason I'm holding off on a tablet...ipad is a perfect example, couple months after spending 600 or so my friend feels like an idiot just a few months later he's considering another 600 just cuz of the stupid camera...

Get over it. Buy a phone you like, enjoy it, and get past the need for having the latest and greatest. Phone envy is a *****. Either that, or man up every 6 months and fork out the dough for the newest on the market. Technology will always be 2 steps ahead of you, that's just the way it is.

Truth.
Not sure this is exactly a new thing, across the board as a whole. Always something better around the corner. And what's there to be bothered about something being better than something you don't even own yet ... ? Whether or not it is 'entirely' better or 'marginally' better.
And talk about not wanting to buy a Samsung device ... but a Pantech?

Yup the evo 3d is undervolted to 1.2 ghz for minimum battery drain but will be overclocked soon enough, just look at the g2 overclock threads to see the potential qualcomm chips have.
After a year with my evo, I believe I can easily wait until next year to upgrade since every phone coming out has specs bumps and nothing else . Just because a better spec laptop comes out doesn't mean to run out and get it.
It will be hard but I'm sure ill hold off on the evo 3d and get the next gen evo next july.
What's the point of this thread? The EVO3D has a better screen, higher resolution, and although the clock speed is 1.2 gigahertz, it will easily be able to overclock significantly higher.
The G2, as someone else mentioned, has been overclocked up to 2 gigahertz. A G2, which has an older chipset and has a stock speed of merely 800 MHz.

Hello My Friend!
I was a happy user of an X10 for over 7 months until i got bored of the poor support from Sony... I know J, Z, Wolf etc... are doing a great job by bringin the X10 up to date but my career gave me the chance of swaping my used X10 for a Brand New SGS and i can tell you is the best deal i've ever made...
Pros------
- 5 Points multitouch
- High Quality Sound, both earpice and speaker.
- Good Custom ROM & Kernel's development (OC up to 1.5 GHZ rock stable)
- The colors of the Screen are awesome
- TV OUT
- Samsung Support to bring Major Updates (Currently Stock ROM Released Android 2.3.4 by Samsung and they release updates every 15 days aprox...)
Cons------
- Camera Quality is not as good as in the X10
- GPS Lock is awful, it not always locks good and with accuracy.
- Battery Life depending on what Custom Rom you use, but it's a litle better than the X10
- The plastic build of the back can get scratched easely.
So i will say go for it, it is a good chance for you to try something new and the phone is really good.

On much android forum, I read that the SGS is more pixely on the screen then the x10. Colours are maybe better but x10 is sharper. If you don't want that, don't get the phone and just get some more money for the SGS2 you like.
@andddy - In the states we have the Samsung Infuse which is basically a big Galaxy S. Why get a older galaxy S when you can get the Galaxy S 1.5!? it has a 1.2ghz processor with an 8megapixel camera and 4.5 inch screen.

See if your country has it, it's probably the same price as an older model SGS.

If one has the money then they should go for it then sell it when the real successor comes out.
But quite pointless in purchasing this if the S3 is looming despite the wait.

Well,technically speaking,my SGS2 is already better so...
But yeah,that's the point.They might as well make it with a Snapdragon.Although,if it's Qualcomm's S3 and not the S4 processor,it'll be more like the SGS2- instead of + but anyway.
I hope it'll come with the same chipset as the "newer" version of the g nexus. :3
why stupid?
I thought I had to say somethiong about the comments here. first of all I use the sg2+ since a week now. and yes it's really plu. I have a sgs2 and I really see the difference, when it comes to multitasking and web browsing. games runs better and when i wasn't able to run some powerfull games on sgs2, it runs perfect on the "plus" version.. Apart from that, I actually won't say it's a stupid thyought from samsung, a lot of people (like me) are fed up with the size of the screen on new phone like the sgs3 and they rather buy a smaller cell phone, the problem is that it's difficult to find a 4'3 screen with good specs nowaday. I guess that's where the sgs2+ comes in the game, it gives you a up to date phone specs.and a normal screen size. I will pêrsonnaly keep my regular sgs2 because of rom dev, since i think the sgs2+ will not be mod so much. but you can't say it's stupid to make this product, it's niche, but it has its place on the market. And don't forget something, it sells new for 300 euros. And i won't even bother on the materials they use cause it's like ten times better than the sgs3 which look and feel like a cheap plastic phone
Why bump a year old thread? :what:

-Yes the voltage should be fine they have the same batteries.I was wondering about other things maybe not the same on the body.
I ask because I dont think its correct what the seller said about a carholder product designed for the S2:
"Is this compatible with the Samsung galaxy s2 plus?

The mount is only designed for the Samsung Galaxy S2 not the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus."

I loved my Arc S... Gave it to the shop i bought the beast Htc One X Quadcore from and paid the remaining extra. And oh my god no words... so if i start i might not stop telling all about it... so no disrespect my Arc S was awesome too.. and Htc One X is Miles Better!
So just wanted to share and say bye bye Arc S!
Others also please share stuff... say bye bye to your Arc S, if have bought a new one now ~!
Cheers!!
bad timing for buying the one x

No its an awesome timing, I prepared myself asking htc's customer service before even buying one x few days back, they admitted n said all this problems were in april and old imported date handsets, and all have been taken back.. and the issues are fixed in the new ones being imported. I purchased the may imported handset, no wi-fi issues not even one point dropped sitting little far in other room and in low battery aswell, no banding problems, no flickering screen, no signal drops, nothing! . Played all the apps in it... it works BooOoOomMMmm!!
I'm envious. I like the One X design after the arc's. And I'd definitely take it over the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Could never get used to their ugly TouchWiz interface.

lol, my arc was my first android smartphone im 16, and the only cellphones i could ever get where old bb, i hated them so much, so i love my arc, i would probably only change it for an s3, i mean i like touchwiz, and if i dont theres replacements, or cm9 rom, guys i still dont get it, if you can run ps1, store games, and apps at 100 percent with a singlecore 1ghz processor why do you need aquad core 1.4? just asking, wouldnt it be wiser to get a compuuter for that price?

True. Don't know why anyone would need a quadcore phone. The single core intel processor beats most of the dual/quad core phones. Too bad that's its bootloader is locked.
@Galileo,
It's just a sign how far technology and miniaturisation has come. Prices have dropped drastically.
A few years back, this would have unimaginable. A few years back, the Samsung Jet was being hailed as the fastest phone whizzing away at 800MHz. It's laughable now.
Plus, it's all that computing power in the palm of your hands. Computers are not able to compete in terms of portability offered by a phone. (I'm not talking about productivity, just portability). It's small enough to slip into your pocket.
From here on, developers are going to optimise their apps to utilise the multi-core CPU. A few years down the line, I'm pretty sure everyone will have moved to dual-core and beyond.
@finch.****break,
Intel core? For our arcs? LOL! What have you been smoking mate?
Or were you talking about that XOLO phone?

6 more months(maybe less) and your One X will be obsolete, will be miles behind the newest smartphone

if anything they should look for a way to increase ram, we have quad core 1.5ghz processors but only 1g ram?, imagine what we could do with 2gb ram or so.

you just know the way to go would be to make a handset you could make yourself or have custom made, just like a pc upgradable components like ram, cpu ,graphics card screen,camera maybe different kinds of os like one for gaming one for business etc. but in reality you wont get that until way down the line if at all , just minor upgrades to sell more handsets and make more money, we can but dream.
I have arc lt15i and love it.was looking to get xperia ion when it goes international if it goes ever,but i'm thinking to stay with my arc till some better sony phones come's out,every year they have newer phones.So i'll stick to arc for now.
