Just checked out the SE site and looks like they’re going with X10a for name. All I can do now is drool as I wait for this awesome phone to come out :P~

the 3rd… and nothing yet. haha. damn, I`m so much looking forward to it. But with that pace that they`re releasing phones with right now, I guess it`s soon gonna be outdated or what?!?!?! I hope not.

@son. Hm. I have a G1 with CM 4.2.1, and I have tethering, MMS, and OBEX support is next on Cyanogen’s list. I haven’t had any trouble setting up any email, either, though I don’t have a yahoo account, my hotmail worked like a charm (better than setting it up on WinMo, as a matter of fact).

I too have been a WinMo user. I just want apps that sync without the cloud, like Ilium Ewallet. So far I’m enjoying the app price sweet spot of $1 vs. $15, the fact that the OS itself is open source, and part of the whole idea behind Linux is that it can work the hardware. WinMo still has trouble with that, and I think it will continue to have trouble with it, or run into some serious memory space issues (and get even more expensive).

Wait a bit before switching back. The Android is still a baby. WinMo is a grown up (the most grown up of the phone OS’s), and still trips on itself. Head over to http://www.xda-developers.com for a fresh ROM, or maybe even just a helping hand, to get what you need. If it’s not there now, it will be soon, before your next contract is up, anyway.

I’m pretty sure i read somewhere the Xperia 2 would not be made by HTC. They switched it to another Taiwanese company to save money…not sure if that also applies to Rachael.

@darrly, more like the “limit at which iPhone approaches infinite awesome, iPhone = Android”.

GOTCHA. what about this one?

this phone is gonna be sick :
- 4.1 inch screen
- 8.1mp with the signature smile-shutter, image stabilizer, touch-focus, and LED flash (wish for xenon tho)
- HD screen for video-play back
- snapdragon
- 32gb internal memory

i’m tempted to get this phone but i wanna see what android 2.0 has in store, otherwise, i’ll get that winmo-powered HTC HD2. i have HTC hero, but i gotta admit, i still have an annoying nagging feeling for the fact that android still can’t do blue-tooth file transfer, mms doesnt really work, internet tethering, heck i couldnt even set up my yahoo mail until i changed my yahoo account region to “south east asia”. my previous non-smart phones and a very mid-range winmo handset could do all the above plus set settings pretty automatically (gprs & mms settings) without me having to key in anything proxy, etc…. on and go… android is a great OS with the app market hosting thousands of apps already, but like we always say, it always depends on the user, and for me i need the above more than what android may have to offer…

and when we have the “limit as android approaches infinity” phone, android will really begin to live up to it’s for-geeks reputation!
