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 ^^

Topic..
Need your opinion
Over the past month with my X10i... Ive been thinking at what my uncle said when he bought me this X10i. He Asked me if I really wanted an X10, over an Iphone 4... I said yes... my only reason was because I dont want to be another person who owns an IPhone and treats it as a status symbol. So I gladly chose the X10.. But now.... It feels as if... its not the right decision ive made.. I thought the X10 could be beastly... or atleast in performance... ANdroid is awesome I admit.. but since the X10's limited capabilities as of now.... it feels like its inferior to that of IOS...
My uncle came by at my place and ask, Hows my X10 doing? He said at anytime we could take it back, get an Iphone and grab lunch.
So...? What do you guys think.....? Should I trade it in?
THanks for reading..
I'd go for a galaxy s

You could try the cooked ROMs we have in the forums, they really make X10 hardware shine, stock software is really lacking in the performance department, even the soft keyboard that comes with the phone cannot follow you if you are a fast typer. Give custom roms a try and you'll be amazed. X10 is really held back by the stock soft.
But, If I were you, I would have picked up one of the newest Xperia phones. Arc or Play. They're sexier in style and more powerful than both Iphone 4 and X10.

i'm similar to thinking like the OP, even the 3GS is faster... but i've faith that the rom developers will transform the x10 soon
I forgot to mention that I AM using ROMS. Im currently on WB's CM6. Even im starting to lose faith in what my X10i can actually be capable of.... I was even surprised that the X10 wasnt even Multi Touch!! Now it has but its not really a good thing...
Thanks for the replies anyway...
i really hope that my X10i can be more powerful
You should go for the iPhone, it's smoother, better battery life and much more great apps. But you will really miss the backbutton and the great launchers...
If you are on a custom ROM and still feel the performance doesn't meet your needs, you might give the Iphone 4 a try. I really like IOS, I myself have a very neat Ipod Touch 2G, but I really got used to things like Widgets, themes, Notification Bar, on screen power control (handy to turn on wifi, 3G/2G, toggle brightness...) and so on and so forth, that I really feel naked when using IOS.
It's really up to you, if you wait until Gingerbread ROMs, which seems to unleash hardware potential, are mature enough to be considered everyday use ROMs, your time for changing your mind to do the switch might have ended.
In about 2-3 months it will get official Gingerbread, with the newest kernel and... anyway, iphone it's for douchebags. I had the same problem with it... it's not a manly phone, it's a *****y phone, for Paris Hilton generation.
Yes, Xperia X10 it's slower than some other phones. But the look and feel... if you're a man, this is your phone. Before I got it, I was a little bit nervous about all the bad things told about it. But the overall impression is good, in the end. And it's a phone that you don't see in every kids hand, just because it's cool.
Lol personally I also made the same decision and I don't regret it I love my phone lol with CM 6.1.3 its pretty awesome
root ur phone nd try the TRIPNMIUI rom.. it will make the best out of ur x10
I like it but i seriously thought that it would be better, of course i got x10 also becoz my whole family and almost everyone has iphone, i wanted something more unique.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Iphone 4, yeah i used one(my officemate have it), it have good multi touch, x10 can only go to dual touch, but iphone 4 can have up to 4 finger. but in terms of usability, my x10 can do more than his iphone. Its like im mocking him with alternative apps which he has to pays for his iphone, like when he bought angry bird, I have it for free, when he bought need for speed, i have it for free again and so on.
The one thing that I don't like about the Iphone, is that when everybody thinks that its the one of the greatest phone evar.. when in reality it lacks feature that was already on the phone 5 years ago.
This is the quote that I got on my mind.
"I don't want to be popular because of my phone, I want my phone to be just a phone that I could use everyday."(something is not right, but just like to share.. hahahaha)..
I'll stick to the point the point here and tell you that X10 was a good decision
Cheers!
I tried to go to the iphone 4, at first I felt like a douche for doing so, then I REALLY didn't like the limited capability like previously mentioned(widgets and what not and so fourth) then I felt restricted AND like a douche. but I find us higher thinkers need android type phones...iphones are dumb :-D hahaha. plus, if you pull off the factory screen protector, it looks and feels FABULOUS!

An x10 can only be traded in exchange of an Arc
i was thinking like you before i met the WolfBreaks ROM, now i never give away my x10 for any apple product. But if you're not sure about performance after custom rom you should try ios
I got the X10i because it's an Android device and that it was the best damn looking one at that time [It still is, IMO, but now second to Arc].
It being a Sony Ericsson device is just coincidence for me. If the Samsung Galaxy S looked *anywhere* near as good as the X10, then I'd had bought it.
Thanks for teh.replies guys... I feel really confident with my X10 now.... Maybe I was just looking at all of its bad sides. Not the good ones. :3 anyway.... I wont be letting go of this *smarter*phone anytime soon...

It's not the same approach , X10 is for people who like to get it crashed and tweak it with strange update.zip downloaded on russian website
In my opinion, the x10i is a great phone, is not the best, only a great phone. I have an iPad, two iPods and one iMac and I have an x10i. Today I love it (thanks to all xda developers). It´s perfect to use like a phone, like a camera, like a gaming machine (if you´re waiting anywhere).
I used the ios software and it´s good, but it´s limited.
In a few months it's gonna be time for me to upgrade my phone. I was so sick of the xperia x10 w/ all of sony's and AT&T's holdups. Is anyone else thinking of getting the ARC?
I like some of sony's UI features, like the camera. Google's stock camera is disgusting. But I havent used it because I have to run a custom 2.2 rom that it doesnt work with.

But Sensation battery life sucks afaik. I'd go for the SGS II as most of the people do at the moment. Only thing is, compared with the Arc, all the other phones (and especially the SGS II and HTC phones) look boring and generic
With GB and custom kernels, my X10 will hopefully stay with me until the next generation of phones is revealed Maybe I'd even go for a MeeGo device, if Android apps are finally supported. Its perfomance and multitasking are really impressive and it'd be a nice change to see something different from Android.
I'm gonna stick with x10 until a beautiful next generation phone comes out. Or I may buy xperia ray, looks great and smaller than arc with pretty much same specs and front camera for video/skype calling.
Sg2 is great, after I tried in shop, but man its ugly.
I may sound a bit old fashioned but I'm getting annoyed with these massive brick phones, smaller for me please

I have a x10 and I ugraded to the atrix dual core 4G. Which is awesome and really fast. The arc is to outdated in hardware specs. But I know the arc has a good camera and has gingerbread.
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
For me the ARC is a definite no go. If your upgrading on a 2 year contract, then I would say loud and clear "stay as far away from the ARC as you can". In my opinion the arc has the same shelf life as the x10. However, if you have been happy in the main with the x10, then you can go for the beautiful design of the arc over the competency and performance of the other phones (SGS2, Optimus 3d and Sensation).
Personally, I now have a very different view of smartphones to that which I had last year. Then I had the view that they were just cleverer phones but now I know that they are more like mini computers. I wouldn't buy a single core computer for the same price as a dual cored machine because it looked prettier. The same,for me anyways, now applies to smartphones.

exactly...
buying an arc now or soon at the price it is would be cheating yourself in some way imo.
Sure it looks nice, but imagine in 6 months time how dated it will be.
Do yourself a favour and either wait till SE releases something current, or buy something current
no way to get one more SE phone. done with them, i'm heading for SGS2 or LG Optimus 3D in the 2nd half of the year.
SE burned their bridges with me on the x10.
I was always a big SE fan and had nothing but good things to say about them.
But the x10 ruined it for me, so i will have to swap brands for a company that cares about it customers.
If SE had made effort with the X10, i would have bought a newer SE phone but they dropped us in the water.
there is no change in hell i give another 400 Euros for 16m colors,bravia engine and unlocked bootloader, even if i was rich.
If i wanted to buy a new phone i d buy samsung galaxy s2.
NO, Arc is ugly, But might go xperia Neo or Active(underwater video shotting)
Nah it's like buying a Nexus One now, you might as well wait and get something that has a newer lifespan.
There is Q&A section for posting this.
Finally time to buy a new phone. My Xperia X10 has failed so bad. I'll never go with SE again. Which is sad.
Hi everyone, I got a question for you phone savvy people.
I currently have the LG Optimus One (P500) with Koodo Mobile (Sub-Section of Telus:Canada).
The Samsung Galaxy Ace has just become available and I've been strongly considering it. I've read a lot of reviews and just can't decide.
I use my phone mainly for texting and talking. I don't use data, and just use apps occasionally like Twitter whenever I have wifi. I do like to take pictures, but not videos. I don't use my phone for music or video.
So basically, I'm leaning towards switching to the Ace for $50.
What do you all think I should do?
*My phone is indeed rooted, and I much prefer the rooted version. I have no idea how rooting is on the ACE though.
Thank you.
i have had the SG ace for a few weeks and i have to say, its a nice SMALL phone
(this display is smaller than P500) ... but, its realy no comparable to P500.
The display has a lower resolution, you see LED pixel every time, and the performance is very pore.
Sorry to say that, but forget the SG Ace
+ Larger screen on the Ace.
+ Better camera on the Ace.
+ The Ace is a little smaller and 0.56 oz lighter. I'm mildly annoyed by how heavy the P500/P509 is, so I actually do care about this... a little.
- Less developer support for the Ace. This would concern me. LG must have sold a buzzillion of the P500/P509, so I assume it will continue to have good dev support.
- No 3G with my carrier with the Ace. I could easily live without that, but it's still a small con for me (obviously, this won't apply to everyone).
* Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Ace has an 800 MHz ARMv6 processor that currently can't be overclocked. That's a little better than an ARMv6 processor that can be overclocked to >700 MHz... but not much. I'm calling this a wash.
* The Ace has about the same (or is it less?) internal memory as the P500/P509, so I guess this is a wash.
* I don't know how battery life compares...?
I don't consider the Ace an upgrade. They're comparable phones... Phone Arena actually gave higher marks to both the Optimus One and Optimus T than they did to the Galaxy Ace, for whatever that is worth. User reviews are about the same at various sites like Reevoo (good for both phones). Personally, I wouldn't want to pay $50 to switch to a new phone that is almost exactly the same as the one that I have now. The biggest advantage of the Ace seems to be its 0.3" larger screen, and that's not worth $50 to me. ETA: It seems like the camera might be significantly better on the Ace, if that is important to you...

Seriously? Your friends envy your phone because it is ~1.8 mm slimmer than their phones? Do your friends know that, unlike Galaxy Ace owners, they can overclock their phones? I would definitely prefer a 3.5" screen, but we're talking about two very similar phones here.
Well, i own 2 devices now, current one is X10 but my previous device was the P500
I do suggest to some of my friends which are newbies to android to use the Ace, but after months of usage, most of them report to me that, the Ace restarts a lot...
The main reason behind this is the small amount of RAM, IMO. When your RAM is running too low, the phone will restart itself, aka soft reboot to resolve the problem.
P500 has 512MB[428mb user accessible] while Ace only has 278, get the difference?
Ace does have a few advantage over the P500 though, the slightly more powerful CPU, better camera and flash[camera flash] too, plus you can take screenshot without root too[P500 has to do this via apps, w/o root]
If both were priced at a same price,i'll get Ace over P500, but $50 is just... too much?
BTW, why not considering upgrade to some new sony? xperia ray seems good to me! A QSD8255 under the hood, 8MP camera, everything is way awesome-er than P500 and Ace
You already have an Optimus One which is quite a decent small little phone. I would save your money and if you really wanted a new phone get a more higher end phone and skip the Ace. That's what I would do, but it's your decision. Are you happy with your Optimus and does it fulfill all your needs? If you are I would stay with the Optimus and save up for a more high end phone.
I wish I could get a Galaxy SII but my carrier doesn't have much coice and I don't think I could afford it! haha.
Only good android phones my carrier has: O1, ACE, Nexus S.
The rest are either Blackberry, garbage, or iPhone.

Hi all.
Its the first time I post in the Ace section.
I have some questions about Galaxy Ace. I would like to get the responses from the Ace users on XDA.
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Mini, and it is a nice phone to have. Gets the job done for most of the daily tasks, like checking Twitter, Facebook, browsing the web, calendars, or alarms. So it is a nice phone for everyday use.
However, I am starting to feel the need for a better phone. Which is not too expensive, but is faster, smoother, and better looking. I especially like it's look. It's truly amazing one of the best looking phones ever produced by Samsung in my opinion. Probably because as a former iPhone user, it looks very similar to it in my opinion.
I am saving money from my job to buy a better phone and I thought about Galaxy Ace. But before buying it I would like to know more about it. I've watched plenty of reviews in Youtube and it seems nice but I would like to ask some specific questions.
For ex. the price of Galaxy Mini in my country is 100 Euro, while for Galaxy ACE it is 180-200 Euro.
Is the difference in money really also seen on the performance of the phone?
I know ACE has a 800MhZ processor, when rooting and flashing custom ROM's, up to how much can it be over-clocked and still be stable?
Does the phone run well with a custom Ice Cream Sandwich ROM on it and be stable for everyday use?
Does the phone run Google Chrome if we have an ICS ROM?
Does the phone tend to reboot, force close, or lag while using it at times?
And finally are you overall happy for buying the Samsung Galaxy ACE?
Thanks you for reading this.
Well the Oficail Dev support....SUCKS! But we have more than 200+ great roms!So great for devs/flashers
NOT FOR:
-GAMES
-HD VIDEO
-HIGH RAM USAGE
BASICALLY.... IF U ARE NOT A DEV/FLASHER GO GET A MDEFY OR ANY SONY PHONE (THANKS an0nym0us_ for reminding me )
Now your questions:
Overclock to : 864 (Mine but depends on each device)
ICS/CM9: Very stable now definitely daily use
Chrome: No, except if I am missing something ... but there are good look alikes (Also it runs FireFox which is better in my opinion)
Reboot:On stock yes...but on great custom roms like Apocalypse ... no
Happy: Well I am a 12 year old sortof dev and it was my best buy so far
GOOD LUCK!
I'm happy when I buy ace a year ago, but if i'm buying it now i'll be an idiot.
There are many better phone u can get with ace price range.
For example I got xperia live walkman with lesser bucks for current ace's price.
You're not really upgrading if u come to ace from mini, both got weak armv6 proc with less and less support.
Go for any armv7 device eg xperia mini, minipro, or live walkman.
Those phone got msm8255 cpu that can easily be oc'ed to 2ghz, got official ics, and i'm pretty sure its price are lesser than current ace price.
Furthermore if u get an ace now it'll be the "i" variant with close to none support from xda
ace = mini + 5mp camera so its not a worthy upgrade in any way.. ace 2 is better upgrade if you can consider but still no official ICS announced for it..and above post says remaining stuffs
Nice idea
You can overclock it at 1036 mhz max but 921 is the best. Higher and it will often reboot. About CM9....it's a good rom but when you have 4-5 apps running it laaaaaaaaaaags and freezes. I advise you to have a "official" CM7 and to mod it as you want.

Very interesting responses.
I thank you all.
I am so glad I did not buy it and asked for your opinions.
Will try to save more money and probably buy a Galaxy S2 or a Nexus.
I am not a big fan of Sony, even though it seems they produce some powerful phones. I'd like to stick to Samsung.
Thanks for the responses anyway.
I was expecting the Ace to be over-clocked up to 1GhZ as even my Mini can be overclocked to 820 or so MhZ.
I will stick to Galaxy Mini for a some more months I guess.
Thank you all.

it hasn't even released for masses and you can't expect full-fledged "dev" support for mid-range phones
Here is another reason to choose the nexus if updates are important to you: http://m.lifehacker.com/5924547/frustrated-by-android-fragmentation-just-buy-the-nexus-already
ace is too overpriced so i wouldnt suggest u doing it
but i would suggest u sony ericsson live with walkman (cheaper and better) or sony xperia u (same price as galaxy ace but 2x better)

With that I agree fully!
Please dont slam our ace so much. Everyone should remember when our ace was released. Its an 1,5 or more year old phone. Sure you cant compare it with new phones. you also say its overpriced, im agree with you because of the hardware but you also know that our ace was never made for gaming or hardmultitasking or something like that. Many people bought it because of his price and iphone-look and the performance is also very good for the daily use.
If i compare my phone with the sony arc s of my uncle or the evo 3d of my sister, it has only one really big disadvantages for ME :
the old armv6 cant provide new games like temple run
so if you dont want to play games then its a very good phone for its price of 150
euro (in Germany).

That's why I'm getting a Nexus phone this year. Just waiting for the next Nexus phone.
Ace is a great phone. But if your thinking of buying it now, it will not be a good choice. There at much Better devices out there...

There are much better phones in the same price range now, heck I can't wait for my contract to end in 3 month
