I've search on forums and Google but no real opinions to help me choose between the two. They're both going for about the same price.
Question: Which one do you prefer and why?
Sony XPERIA X10
+ 8MP Camera
+ 4" Screen
+ 1GB Storage
+ Battery Life
- WiFi b/g
- TFT capacitive touchscreen, 65K colors
- Wider and thicker
- 384 RAM
HTC Google Nexus One
+ WiFi a/b/g
+ AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
+ Slimmer and thinner
+ 512 RAM
- 5MP Camera
- 3.7" Screen
- 512MB Storage
- Battery Life
I prefer the X10, love it's style and I'm a se fanboy and the Nexus One is the ugliest phone/one of the ugliest phones out there.
Better a phone, that it a bit slower but looks much, much better.

I bought the nexus when from google when it was released. It isnt a bad phone at all. But i then traded for the X10 and seriously never looked back or regreted it once. I never said to myself, gee i wish i still had the nexus one.
X10 much better than nexus one
Just my opinion.

Nexus One !
I have used both of them,as i have X10 and my younger brother has nexus one,and both me and my brother are of the same opinion that X10 is better then nexus one in every aspect,you have already mentioned some of those things,the only benefit that nexus one has(it is running on Gingerbread) is not going to be with nexus one anymore,as in maximum two months X10 will be updated to Gingerbread,and it would not be that ugly and stock interface which is due to come to X10,it will be the same one as ARC,which i dont think i have to tell you that how beautiful and good looking it is,but if u havent seen it yet,then take a look here:

Xperia X10
Yes, I used to envy the nexus, only because of the constant updates it would receive. But now that the X10 will soon be running 2.3.3, it has a fighting chance. And yes, the nexus is one ugly mother.
Great feedback everybody! Thank you very much! =)
its a no-brainer that x10 is the winner isnt it?
Well you asked this on an x10 forum... what did you expect..

Hi all,
I am thinking of selling my x10 and purchasing Desire.Is it a good idea.
No! Better wait for the first quarter, when new phones will be introduce in the market...

First, ask this question in desire forums ;-)
Second: one thing better in x10 is slightly bigger screen. In practice this means about two lines of book in aldiko. Width and number of pixels are the same.
I have both phones now, first bought x10, then desire...currently looking at one rom per day thanks to easy rom backup. (now: defrost)

I'd be keeping ideas like that to myself though, someone might steal it and use it themselves.

Why sell a 7 month old phone just to buy an 8 month old phone?
Try the Desire HD or Desire Z if you want a newer phone.

Camera: complementary and not fundamental to the workings of a smart phone.
Dispaly: 3.8 inch amoled with multitouch better than 4 inch TFT single touch
Rom: I think RAM is more important to the user and the dseire has 512mb compared to the x10 384mb
Battery Lifeurely subjective
Let's not forget that you get froyo and all its goodness on the desire while the x10, save for the devs cracking the bootloader, is destined to die with 2.1. Also HTC sense much better and more functional than the dreary UXP.
I don't think you'll find any review on any of the tech blogs that actually put the x10 ahead of the desire. The desire wins there unanimously.
Having said all that, I think like others who have said, you should wait until q1 next year when newer phones get released and then make your choice. Unless you want to at least get something reasonable back for your x10 before it becomes valueless.
I think that the crux of this question lies in the users needs...
For example.. tell us your top 3 uses of your phone.. (texting, watching video, browsing, streaming video from websites, listening to music, camera..... etc.etc)...
That way you'll get some feedback on the elements that really matter to you rather than having everyone commenting on the elements that matter to them..
For me.. I wouldn't have a Desire.. simply because it's ugly.. but that's just my opinion on a feature of the phone which is important to me.

The Desire loses because it's an old phone. The X10 loses as well.
Why would anyone buy an old phone when the newer version is already on the market?!
Not to mention, the X10's screen absolutely blows the Desire's AMOLED out of the water. There's a reason they changed it to SLCD.
Ive got both these phones at the moment and i have to say, as much as i love the x10 there isnt a hope in hell of me ever using it again. Sense is a better ui, im finding the battery life to be better, has froyo and custom roms, it might just be me but the screen seems more vibrant, i can actually hear the other person, my signal at home now stays on 3g permenantly where it used to drop to 2.5g the majority of the time, the software is a lot smoother and more responsive, the custom htc software like the music app is much better than sonys attempts and it has multitouch. The only thing i miss is the camera and app from the x10 but seeing as i take about 10 photos a year on my phone i think i can live with that.
All of this is just my opinion of course and if you disagree then thats your right but my x10 is being sold pretty soon and ill never be buying se again. The only reason i didnt get a desire hd or z is because for the cost it doesnt seem worth it really, i could get 2 desires for the same price as 1 hd or z.
I am considering purchasing a SE X10 (unlocked market) since I read the Gingerbread announcement.
Seems to be the cheapest GHz Android phone on the market. How does this stack up vs the HTC Desire? I would wait for the new wave of Xperia phones but I cannot see them anywhere close the the price of the X10. I read a rumour that the Neo was going to be below in the 300 - 400 range.
What are the pros and cons of the X10? I want a decent camera, good screen, and relatively fast cpu. I came from a Wildfire so this will be a big step up. Lack of radio and no wifi N does not matter to me.

Well, depends where you're from, here in UK, the Neo is about £370 from SE-Store.
However, the X10i is not bad at all, from my experience with the Desire I can say it's much better ( though the Desire was running 2.2 ) but it's all about personal preferences.
Stock X10i with 2.1 vs Stock Desire 2.2, the Desire would win due to the JIT and 2.2 enhancements. But if you are thinking of adding mods and ROMs, I think X10i can stand up against the Desire.
Camera is better in X10i, but keep in mind when 2.3 is released for the X10 it will have an android stock camera instead of Sony Ericsson's, but it'll do fine...
Now if you can afford the Neo, I would advice you to go with it.
imo the desire is a much better phone....
I have used both, and I think the desire is wayyyy better.
The only thing the x10 has that is better is the camera. The desire gets better scores, you can mod it wayyyy more, it has true multitouch, the screen has 16 mill colours so it looks much better, etc....
Go with the desire my friend
The Only Draw back of X10i for me is low volume Speakers (both, earphone and speaker phone)
if you don't care about it, X10i is the master piece !
desire have some good points but it have terrible battery life!
I thought the X10 has multi touch?
Things that are important to me:
1. Price
2. Battery life
3. Good performance
4. Good camera
5. Updated Android (or moddable if not)
The Desire is nice, but it is more expensive.

weird here they are around the same price....
The battery life is probably about exactly the same
There is no multitouch on the x10. There is dual touch, but it functions pretty poorly on games, etc... (if you cross axis it goes all haywire)
The performance is on par with one another. However because desire has unlocked bootloader, you can tweak it much more and get much better performance.
The x10 has a much better camera, no doubt about it.
As far as the update, because of the bootloader it would be easier to get updates on the desire. The x10 has 2.3 coming, but not until quarter3 or 4 of this year. The roms around here for the x20 (gingerbread wise) aren't fully functional and still have a lot of issues.
X10 gets 2.3.3 Q2/Q3...
X10 2.3 vs Desire 2.3 will be a nice battle.
One of my mates has a Desire, can't wait to battle him ^^

best of luck with buying xperia phones...
just google for "red light of death" for xperia phones....
unless you are okay with sending your phone to customer service every now and then...
i bought one and i'm regretting to the core....
no solutions given either by sonyericsson or can't find any on XDA...
Ok, every gets to this now or later, the problem that is getting a new phone.
http://www.sfr.fr/mobile/offre-tele...38q2&pta=0037x2&typesmartphone=se-android&p=0
This is a filtered search of the phones i can get, these are the prices with a contract. My only criteria are: 1GHZ ArmV7 and a WVGA screen. And a not much about ICS (It would be nice) Im getting this in january so I may be able to build up up-to about 200 euros.
Two that look nice are the motorola defy (nice big screen, impress my mates)
or the Xperia ray which is ridiculously cheap for what it is. Im drooling over it knowing i could play all the games i never could, and it is getting ICS and will support chainfire. The downside is the fact the screen is only 3.3 inches, but it means it will have about 300 dpi !!
Thanks for any suggestions
At the moment I would go for the Defy,since from what i saw in it's forum has more roms.This my change however,more people will probably end up buying the ray since it will get ICS and it's cheap,increasing the number of roms.But,like i've said,it's not a sure thing.In the end,you should buy what you like more.
You could buy a Nexus S,240€ in italy or a Galaxy S,(around 220€). Both have ARMv7 processor,HDPI screen,but personally I prefer Nexus S (for NFC,official updates and frontal camera).
well, I would choose one of them - HTC Desire HD or SonyEricsson Xperia Neo.
SE - better camera, frontal camera, better battery.
HTC - a bit better performance, aluminium unibody, Sense UI.

He wants below 200 euro, Desire HD is above his budget and there is no Xperia Neo there.
Btw, get the Xperia ray, since it gets ICS later on.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully.. :/
so yeah, I agree you, Xperia Ray is the best choice.
Thanks to every one here, I've decided to get the Ray. My O1 would have been thrown out the window if it weren't for you guys. If i had the time to press thanks on every thread, i would.

I have had the G2 for well over a year now and recently felt the need for a change. In my opinion the G2 is one of the best physical keyboard phones of its day; the next phone had some big shoes to fill.
Physical keyboard either slide or candy bar style
GSM based
Hspa speeds
Android 2.3 or later
Decent battery life
Not too big
Faster processor than the G2
After searching diligently for the right fit it came down to these two phones:
Motorola pro plus - candy bar style
Larger body
Bigger battery
1Ghz processor
HSPA
Xperia mini pro - slider style
Compact design
Front facing camera
1Ghz processor
HSPA
The reviews for the Motorola Pro plus on youtube were pretty good but not overwhelmingly so.
The Xperia mini pro had a bit more reviews and seemed to hold up well for different types of users.
So i ordered the Xperia mini pro and can say that i am not disappointed. The size and speed of this phone are what set it apart in the physical qwerty domain. The user interface that Sony has layed on top on Android is quite impressive and very intuitive. If your thinking of getting a new qwerty do not hesitate with this one.

Actually i'm thinking of getting the Xperia Ray when the price goes down a bit
