Just want to get people's opinions. I want to thank the Devs for all their work for prolonging the lifespan of my x10 lol. It's been a few years and with the new google Prime I think i want the new hardware. Any1 else planning to get Prime?

If u still believe in SE, might want to wait til early next year. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with what SE has to offer That's what I'm waiting for. Samsung never gained my trust with their build quality.

I'm holding out for next year as my work may be subsidising some handsets for staff, and they tend to be good on these things, I'm hearing up to 50% off from HR at the moment. Of course, I am also risking the handsets they have being old and grey...
But that's the chance you take when your sick of paying loads each month on a contract to get a good phone.
Back to the topic, Samsung's screens are just amazing. I was thinking about getting the S2 a few months back. I just never really was a Samsung person either and the Prime looks great. It's a real hard decision for me on whether to wait or get one now.
Specs look good, but not as groundbreaking as I was expecting from the new "Google phone". I suppose that might be due to the fact that most apps/games will run just fine on current hardware and they haven't really begun to support dual core properly yet. So no point in expanding the hardware when it will price the device out of the market for no real gains.

SE's update about 2.1 was a huge let down for me. I was really looking forward to getting it by the end of the week.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Nope.
The X10 in its current form runs fine and there are no better alternatives. IMO
My next phone upgrade will not be a Sony Ericsson though. Possibly HTC if they improve their design and other bits here and there by next year.
You guys are just bunch of babies.. lol..
Didn't get what you wanted and had to go cry about it..
Grow up man. If you didn't like it.. you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
But since you did.. man up and just shut up and move on.
Just my 2C.
I'm seriously considering selling... I'm really dissapointed at how SE deals with software upgrades, the protected bootloader being the prime example of this. I'm hoping for the devs to do something good, but I'm not holding my breath. Sony's done a great job of crippling hope of a decent upgrade.
And yes, the phone works "as is" as many have stated, but the low in call volume, some moments of lag across the OS, lack of MT on a device that should clearly support it and other random little annoyances make me think that spending so much on a "flagship model" was a mistake... I would have loved SE to prove me wrong with a firmware update that solved a bunch of these issues. Now I'm feeling pretty sour about living with these issues as long as I own this phone.
I like this phone, and i am not going to sell it for a while, but i am a bit disappointed and i am sure that my next device will not be a SE, because i do not want to find myself in this situation again.
If their is a hell, you will get in to it if you sell your X10 to another. Just burn it!

Some comments are out of order indeed. But SE DID PROMISE something else than delivered. In the western world that is NOT acceptable.
I will not sell off my X10 just because delay in X10 software upgrade as hardware is more important for me.
I will still wait patiently for the Android 2.1 Upgrade.

I'm pretty sure most of us here purchased this phone with the notion that, it would be updated at the time that SE stated. No one here is being a baby for being disappointed because SE couldn't keep their word and I'm positive no one said they didn't like the X10. Regret buying ? Yes. Dislike the phone ? No.

Well luckily for you SE returned to the previous timeframe with the delay. They originally said that we would get the 2.1 update in Q4, then they moved it up to Q3 and now it's back to Q4.
So a release in Q4 is exactly when SE originally said that the update would come.

No MT? misprint.. OK.
Q3, come on its SE where talking about!! What the hell are they doing?? So ok Q4.
Expecting FroYo on an (half year old) HIGH END Android phone is NOT that crazy...
Come on man, they just launched the X10 in the US. With 1.6, HIGH END? I was expecting FroYo. I still am, not from SE. The only reason i'm not dumping it, YET..
Its like Alienware selling a HIGH END system with XP and you cannot install Win7 and no upgrades...
IF the phone was 2 years old I would buy the story. ITS NOT!
Maybe its because i'm used to pimp phones. My x years old Kaiser is running FroYo
Lets face it, SE in not for ME. Back 2 HTC for the hardware AND SOFTWARE capability.
The X10 is not made for nerds, its for the masses. I miss the good old flashing HTC's days

An official blog update is more then enough for me to take it as a promise.
just like the MT issue it was never stated on the blog that it had it so they could state it was never officially announced.
its exactly this kind of treatment which gives them a bad name. Why didnt they just keep it at Q4 originally?
Fair enough they would have been flamed for been Q4 but we would all be looking forward to it now instead of feeling let down.
I am even doubting a Q4 release now.
Expecting Gingerbread 3.0 on the X10 would be crazy but FroYo??

Well i have one in my family(My brother)..
Its not so different than X10(apart from screen,camera and Android version).. I would strongly suggest to stick with your X10 and wait for next generation devices to hit the market.. You will have more to play with once 2.1 rolls out for X10 or we have some good news in Dev. thread..
If you are the type who ***** and moan about Android version in the X10 then do yourself and us a favour, take the NexusOne and never comeback here, but if you're not bothered about its Android version and appreciate what it has to offer and has over the others then stick to your X10

If it's a straight trade without paying extra $$.. then go for it.
I believe you can resell it (if you don't like it) for a better value compare with X10 (at least in our market).
If I were offered the deal, I'd take it...I'm looking for a similar trade, but haven't found any yet unfortunately...
I think you should just wait for the update to come! Maybe your thoughts will change if you get 2.0 Ik hope my X10 will feel brand new after the update!

If you want the design and the slick UI and don't mind waiting for updates then keep the X10.
If you want to have 2.2 as soon as possible for the speed improvements and flash 10 then go for the Nexus.
Simply go for Nexus One.............
Remember, its harder to type with Nexus One than with X10 because of smaller screen
Just stick to X10, Nexus One looks boring and ugly...

Having come from the N1 to the X10 I can tell U IMO the N1 is nothing special & as a phone was actually worse, outgoing sound quality according to friends was terrible. Maybe they fixed some issues with the recent 2.21 update but I think U will be disappointed with the N1.
Both the same imo. You will lose bigger screen for multitouch and that's it.

X10 sounds terrible to me too. so let's consider this even.
nexus one is the google developement phone so you are guranteed the newest updates (always the 1st phone to obtain updates) and it has MT
another factor is that im a big fan of physical buttons on the x10 vs the ones on the nexus one
You have to ask your self why you bought your X10 and then you can decide and consider every thing.
Design
Camera
OS
Sound

EXACTLY! AT&T started selling the x10 in August 2010, I got mine in October, and now they're not even selling it anymore (at least on their website). The x10 looks to be (unfortunately) a test-bed phone for Sony's intro to the android market, and those who've bought it are the guinea pigs. When the Xperia Play comes out, I'll just give my x10 to my wife and get that one. I have already made my views perfectly clear to SE AND AT&T on their facebook oages and through emails to them. They could care less though.

Actually, if SE manages to get 2.3.3 running as well on our X10's as it's running on the arc, I don't really care. I wan't my phone to "just work", to cite iPhone users. Though I'll of course feel bad for the developers if SE decides to patch it, especially after seeing these major breakthroughs lately.
I don´t want my phone just to work. If the update from SE proves to be a crappy port from Arc count me out. I prefer to have a stable custom rom with little bugs than having a product that is just for show, that doesn´t perform nowhere near the Arc.
If SE is honest and gives us a fully working 2.3.3. very fluid and fast, then X10 will be fighting again with the big dogs.
If this update is just for patching holes and giving more locks then shame on you SE. If this happens and i buy another SE phone then shame on me. =) Although i can´t resist the looks of their models....

Arc is outdated now, imagine 6 months from now? If you were going to do that I'd say just stick with your x10 until a phone worth upgrading to comes out. The arc is hardly an upgrade, and costs the same as the sgs2.
