Hey guys, first of all i want to thank all the developers for they help to make my x10 great. I dont know if I am writing on the correct place.. but whatever, i own a white xperia x10 and i want to change my phone and i am between Xperia x10 arc and Nexus S.. I dont know wich one to choose and wich one is better .. Which u think is better and why ? thanks
Id go for the arc, looks al lot better. And with the unlocked bootloader its got a nice future in terms of modding.
I'd agree, the Arc looks a lot better but out of the avaliable ROMs out there rdannar is coming up leaps and bounds.
He's doing a great ROM as part of X10Project that uses 2.3.4 and is based on the Nexus, but it easy to add the Arc filles that are dotted around through here using xrec like I ended up doing.
Arc for sure! And im not just saying that to be a SE fanboy. But if its possible, look at the galaxy s2 as well. Ive been looking at it more closely lately....and its got that "WOW" factor!

in 6 months you'll regret getting an arc, believe me. You want something dual core...

Believe me, it will be worth the wait to go with a dual core phone... The cpu in the arc will be outdated very shortly, better to go with a phone with some lasting power
+1 for sg2 although it hasn't got style but it's got substance, it's the opposite for Arc
Yeah im kinnda with you on this one arc as far as the looks go but s2 for its power (dual core nd all of that)

Why N1, Nexus S is available and better,
or Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC ( release date: April )
Nexus one is an awsome device.. I own one
But it has the same touch screen capability as X10 ---- > Dual touch
Considering the timely updates you get with nexus one... I think it is best bet.
I would recommend Nexus S
Well i bought a nexus one from google when they were available and it wasnt to long before i got rid of it for the X10 and havent regretted it yet.
Thats my thoughts.

how would you judge the two phones when it comes to the x10's 8megpix ??
xperia x10 with the all modifications.. same as Nexus S..
I wouldn't recommend nexus one because you are just exchanging for a pure Google experience product. Megapixel doesn't determine picture quality. Its all about the lens, sensor, and image processing software. Pix quality of course x10 is better than nexus one.
Go for nexus S or wait longer for dual core devices. X10 doesn't have Froyo and Nexus S's hardware doesn't perform as good as the hummingbird CPU in Nexus S.

How long have you have your X10? I wouldn't change it before "squeezing" all its potential.
My advise: keep it at least one more half of a year, and then start looking for your next phone. Now, if you can't wait and if you wish to keep in SE's line, Arc is your option, but for me, is not a great phone, I only remark the Bravia Displa, Gingerbread and the HDMI plug-in, anything else is not a big deal.
Or Nexus S.
hey guys... thanks a lottt...
ive been using the x1 only fr about a few months..
tried out most of the roms out there
guys.. but dont you think the nexus one is worth it ?? its htc after all
plus... the AMOLED.. n when it comes to updates ????
comments pls
Correct me if i am wrong, but i remember nexus one have an exact same proc with x10, which mean it's not actually an upgrade if you change your x10 into a nexus one. The only better thing is RAM. --in terms of hardware.
If I where you, I'd try and remember why you bought the X10 in the first place. I mean, the Nexus One was already available when you bought your X10, so obviously it has some qualities that made you choose it in the first place. I am guessing it was the look of the device, and the camera, right? Those are the X10's biggest distinguishing features, so I would like for another Android device that comes close to those.
As far as camera is concerned, there probably is no better Android available yet. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S is the next best thing in this regard?
As far as looks is concerned, nothing really comes close yet, in my opinion. Although I really like the way the HTC Desire Z looks for some reason (and I don't normally like HTC designs, too boring).
But why are we even talking about these old phones? Next month it's time for the Mobile World Congress 2011, during with numerous new Android phones will be introduced and some will even be released by then, with brand new hardware like dual core processors and new versions of Android that will make our current phones look really outdated. Right now seems like a bad time to switch to another phone: I would wait for just a little while longer.

no need to get N1, its the same gen as X10
if u want the best current gen phone then get HTC Desire HD / HTC Desire Z
the dual core phones will take a bit of time (3+ months) to come to market...
The Nexus One is ugly.
Stay with the X10 until dual core phones come out.

Honestly, it doesnt even seem like a question to me. Especially with the new roms that are wiping the floor with the other current gen phones. Just sayin.

If one is a color purist like me, then the AMOLED screens are a DISADVANTAGE, actually. And it's going to stay that way until a new-gen AMOLED arrives which doesn't mess with the saturations.

Actually the neo will be better despite a smaller screen. It'll have a front camera and a music player with an equalizer for bass boosting (which I cant live without). Otherwise, it's the
Same phone. Though me personally ill be getting an optimus 3d because when my upgrade will be available, xda will be well equipped for it.
From my X10a running CM 6.1.3 by Wolfbreak and Swype Keyboard
this might imply that we will have an easier root method for our x10s when the 2.3.3 update comes =D

I think that is a bit harsh. OK it may not be a big step forward from the X10 but it is better and is 'only' a mid range phone.

kudos to that too. Sony Ericsson has tried hard to make a good phone. but this year dual core android phones will dominate. With that said, I will still get the Xperia Arc if i can find a good deal.(under $500) Can't complain about the SE interface. =) With that said i'm very excited for the X10 gingerbread release and unlocking the bootloader. Hopefully we can utilize the full potential of the phone.
Well I just love the looks and design of it
Personally I just want to own it!!
And specs of the arc a lil better so I think once there are more devs for the arc then the development will be more progressive than the X10
It will be in my hands in the coming month or two

Hello, i have been searching for threads like this but i found only old ones. So is there a multitouch or a dualtouch (offical or unoffical way) in X10, and about 16M color? Yes or no?
Dual touch yes, multitouch no...
No 16 mill colours either
And there is no posibility for multitouch? HW limited? Is dualtouch fully working or it has any problems?
Oh, I am asking this because i am planing to buy X10.
Sorry for bad english

No the dual touch is very buggy and doesn't work well...
I don't think multitouch is possible.

Well, in my country the best SE phone avaliable is Xperia Arc (350€ new), but i am not planing on buying such an expensive phone, because my life style is very active, so phone easily gets damaged + Arcs headphone conector is not very friendly for listening to music, while phone is in the pocket. You almost cant get new X10 here, but used x10 is about 150-200€, or as I am planing exchange my Samsung Wave for X10. I like X10 more than Galaxy S, because it looks better and because it is Sony Ericsson ......you can suggest me another phone for about 150€-200€ (used) but it has to be Android and it must have got good audio quality.
Oh, and another question. Can I load offical 2.3.3 SE ROM to branded Xperia x10?

For this price it is a good phone. I owned a Samsung wave before too and I am satisfied with the x10 (better camera, bigger screen, better os)
Besides, with official Cyanogenmod support it isn't a totally outdated device.

Although @Scoobysnacks says it a terrible phone, I think installing customs roms and kernels make it exceptional at least for my needs and many others on this forum.
But if I were you I wouldn't buy the X10 as it pretty outdated (if not prehistoric ).
I think the Desire HD would be a decent step up from the X10 and would probably be a lot better when it comes to the user experience and doesn't look like an iPhone
But if you must get an X10 be sure to root it and install custom stuff as otherwise the experience will be lacking quite a bit.

Even on a very customized ROM, there is not enough ram and the gpu sucks.

HTC Desire HD? Really? Didnt I mention something about GOOD audio quality? Well if X10 is a missed choice, then my next favorite is Nexus S. Is this one better? And of course if I will buy Nexus I will wait for Nexus Prime to become available, so price of Nexus S will drop a little.

i would have chosen sgs2 no doubts!! some web pages still consider it as the best phone over ios 4s, galaxy nexus,sensation or last motorola razr... yesterday i was looking for thus stuff in google the only one which is better estimated is the newest xperia s, because of its camera, screen and other things... moreover continuing with sgs 2 if u want to root it or flash roms there are a lot of possibilities... if not official ics is coming soon... im thinking of getting it next week if i negotiate well with my phone cpmpany however arc is also good phone and i think sony confirmed it would update to ics too. ohh!! if i get it of course ill keep my 10 mini till its last days

Nope s2 plus gpu I.e. videocore 4 .. is as powerful as mali400mp4
My nenamark2 score is pure 60fps... while s2 original score is abt 56fps..
S2 plus is based on braodcom chipset...and has almost no developer support..
Bt s2 plus has way btr battery life than s2...
Also newer chipset runs jb more smoother than exynos 4 series (comparing to my bro's note )
Camera quality is super awesome.. clicks within a second ... not unlike my xu that took atleast 4-5 seconds to take a pic...
