Goodbye Moto Droid, Hello Sony Xperia X10. Can’t wait for this device to release. Hopefully Android 2.0 isn’t too far off in the horizon. I can deal with 1.6 for a little bit.

The best part of the entire deal, bye bye Verizon.

People saying expensive, you do realize this is pretty much the same price as EVERY smart phone out there. The iPhone included. When you buy it from a company they subsidize it because they make money from you every month on the 2 year contracts. If T-mobile or AT&T picked it up in the US to sell in their store they would likely charge 200 bucks for it, eat the rest, and make it up in the following months from your bill.

If you don’t mind being stuck with Android 1.5 or 1.6 (whatever this has) for the next 5 or 6 months then I guess it’s a good deal. I myself will always stay away from proprietary UI’s because you will always be 3+ months behind the current Android build. HTC has been known to keep it’s new versions of Touch Flo on new devices and not offer upgrades to older ones that are capable of running them, that might be changing with them updating Sense to 2.1 and releasing the update to Hero users, but a company like SE isn’t well known for this type of thing. Plus with the Android dev community it’s only a matter of time till your favorite UI is ported to almost any Android phone capable of running it.

AT&T’s 3G is bogged down if your in NYC, SF, Chicago and some other major cities from all the iPhone traffic, so a phone that relies heavily on 3G like this one is going to be troublesome, T-Mobile’s network might not be as bogged down, but you better live in a 3G area because if not your stuck with lame GPRS or maybe EDGE……or maybe NOTHING like most of the USA.

SE better price this thing right. With Google’s Nexus One releasing around the same time with very similar hardware specs (except for the camera – but who really cares about that) it will be a toss up for me which to choose. I think the deciding factor for me will be price. Big plus to Google/HTC for the OLED screen too: that should give a pretty descent boost to the battery life. Also shipping with the freshest version of Android may steer me more in the Nexus One’s direction. I was really looking forward to the X10, but, as usual, SE is off their game.

The most recent rumors have stated it going to T-Mobile. I for one hope so.

The release date of the Xperia X1 was shifted for at least a month too. About this far before release as well.

They said October 10, then end of October and I got it at November 15..

with his propietary UI, and all the good purposes,
sony make us wait…a bit too long.

why not make a pure android device with the same specs and launch it 3 month ago?then a updade (optional) to beautifize the UI?

bye

“Start saving”? “Isn’t cheap”?
The X10 costs exactly the same as the “oooh so cheap” iPhone 3GS here in Sweden.
I bet even the stated cost in the US will be on the same, if not even cheaper level, when the rumors have settled and the phone has actually been released.

I would have got the Milestone if it had been released properly this month but now Sony are finally getting the X10 out there I’m going to wait.

I feel like it would do better with T-Mobile than any other carrier because it’s so expensive. T-Mobile offers the best plans which may allow customers to spend more on the actual phone. That’s just my theory

sigh, what can i say that hasn’t already been mumbled?.. nuthing. Reverse psychology with an idea that someone who has power at Sony is reading ppls comments and will suddenly make this phone everything ppl want it to be, and actually come out with the carriers that matter – is wasted time. Knowing this, and knowing it will eventually come out sometime in the period ill be buying an android phone (4moths) all i can do is hope that its quick like the HD2, robust like the Hero and sexy smooth good hardware like many other Sony products. Its clearly either this or the Dragon/Passion. Anyone who thinks differently is a fool. Either device will render Droid and the hype, moot.
