I got it for $400 after tax.
I didn't have intention to buy until I heard 2.3 is coming in 2-3 months, so I decide to jump in and get the phone.
I am just wondering is it too late to get it while it has 465MB for storage and 256MB RAM (but I don't see much problem even I open few applications at a time).
Bottom line is: it's a decent phone if it's not better than G2x.
If all you're going to do is use the media player, surf the web, and play some simple games, it'll be just fine. I'm hopeful that 2.3 will make it smoother, but that remains to be seen.
But if I had to get a phone today that worked on t-zones, I'd get the Incredible S, which I got for my gf. And man, that phone is snappy as hell with a Very good screen even though I'm not a huge fan of Sense. Not to say that I'm not happy with my x10, I love the fact that it has actual buttons and wouldn't consider trading it for anything at the moment.

I've had the phone since launch
And thanks XDA devs my phone is now better than most other stock new android phones
If you can get it relatively cheapish I would recommend it
The only thing I think that spoils it is the dual touch isn't too great for multitouch gaming,
Other than that once the 2.3.3 update is out it will last me till April 2012 when 2.4 is out and dual core is at its best
Hope this has helped
EDIT: X10 has 384mb ram

Dude, i love my X10 but for that price i would have just saved another 150 and got a sgs2 or arc. $400 is kinda expensive today for a X10. Just my opinion tho. If your happy, thats all that really matters.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
$400 is a bit high for a x10. But since you got it already, enjoy it
I wanted to get Incredible S, but difficulty to root is a concern.
X10 is pretty easy to root with SOC, but I have no plan to load custom ROM because I have to find more "workable" 2.2 ROM, but again, as 2.3 is on the way, it should be worth to wait.
Tip: nokia (N8) stereo headset works with mic, and I got a special plug adapter so I can use iphone headset with it.

Really? If you're interested in rooting the x10 just to get a better ROM, you should've just gotten the Incredible S. Especially since the Incredible S is getting 2.3 tomorrow and it's a generation ahead of the x10. Hell, if you wanted 2.3, you could've gotten the HD2 for $80 and throw it on there.
Not to say you made a bad decision or anything. The x10 can be a good phone instead of just ok as it is right now.
400? Jesus you could get a phone ten times better for that :S
I like it, but mine was only 200, and not on a contract
Wow 400.. Im considering selling my x10 for 150 lol (locked to Rogers though)
once the 2.3 update hits the X10, it will be a much more respectable phone, but $400 is a bit much, I mean, I have AT&T and got mine from Bestbuy for free, so go figure.
I think you must go for the ARC, the reason is the Multi Touch and more Free Ram, and about the same price, and you will get a lot of future updates, a pretty phone. I don't know, is what i think.(Not in my country yet, because that i have a x10 but uber modded of course)

Arc is crap? I mean sure, sgs2 is a better buy but cmon... if you've ever used Samsung/TouchWiz you'll know their idea of a UI is either:
1.Ripoff iOS UI in many different ways and get sued for it
2.Bright colourful icons with a font that appeals to a 5 year old
Hardware wise (except for the camera), clearly, it blows everything else out of the water. Software, not so much. Same goes for design
Also I've read a lot of reviews that say the SGS2 has a horrible battery life.. but then again, I've read a lot saying the Arc's is crap too

easily changed with a diff launcher, and 4.0 blows 3.0 out of the water.
I think it is better than the arc in every way, reviews tend to agree.
The arc is another se fail imo... too little too late

I don't think the ARC is a fail, though there are better phones you can buy with just a bit more money.

Vent about what? Four months after the amaze comes out, there will be another flagship phone... I guarantee it.
If you ever buy technology so that you can own the best and fastest, whether it's a phone or computer or something else, then dont bother buying. You will always be disappointed. Instead, maybe just use your sensation and be happy with all that it is and all that it can do.
No, it's a phone, you'll get over it just like everyone else.

Sensation is still very young. While we can't have HW limitations changed, there can and will be things done to work around it (ok, not camera, but how many people actually use it). RAM is enough, especially with all the optimisations lately. Few more quirks to work out and Sensation will be almost perfect. Who's to say that Amaze won't have more problems than Sensation?
So no, i'm not pissed off at all. Oh, and Amaze is UGLY.
I'm pretty sure its gonna run like butter with a LIL more RAM nd sense 3.5..cuz with the specs the sensation has..lag shouldnt exist
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
And its not really the biggest jump either, i mean
1.5GHz dual-core CPU(That's what we have just under clocked to 1.2),
1GB of RAM(dont realy need that much and were just off buy around 256 mb),
4.3-inch qHD display(got it),
8MP rear camera(got it) ,
2MP front(ok this is and upgrade but who uses the front camera extensivly)
dual-LED flash(got it).
So all they did was not under-clock the cpu, raise ram a tiny bit, make the front camera 2mp and made the phone ugly.
Doesn't matter that much anyway. This phone will be overshadowed sooner or later by quad-core soc's like the tegra 3.
Every phone is outdated specwise around max. 4-5 months after their release.
im happy with my sensation. and as mentioned above there is really that big of improvements on the amaze. and also the sensation as is with all phones will be outdated a few months after its release.
if you are really upset with the the release of a newer phone so close to the release of the sensation, than go out and buy an iphone. atleast there hardware dont improve so quickly and you wont be so upset after buying it and a few months later they release a better one cause it wont happen so close after its initial release.
Sure I'm a little miffed about the specs, but honestly our phones will blow the amaze out of the water until they get cm7 on it. After buying the sensation I decided I'm not buying a new phone until it can be completely hacked s-off/rooted ect.. And an official CM build is a available for it. Otherwise the phone just feels like crap despite the specs due to sense/bloatware.

I am only mad about this because i have had 6 sensations and each had major issues weather hardware or software and at times each have been practically useless.... If they took the time to assure this wouldn't happen I wouldn't mind so much. However, that hasn't been Tue case... So I will be ditching my sensation as soon as the amaze is available.
Also correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the amaze also have a 42 mbps radio and also built in 16gb storage amongst the already mentioned specs.
I love HTC but they really let me down with this phone........

If the release of the Amaze 4G pisses you off, don't ever buy a new Macbook Pro, or any Apple computer for that matter.
Dropping $2k+ on a new computer just to watch a new version come out a month later with more ram, faster processor, better graphics card, longer battery life, wings, beer dispenser, and a $100 bill printer built in will really make you want to punch babies.
Haha you really can't win no matter what you do. Buy "THE" Android phone today, it's old hat in four months.
It was the exact opposite when I was on the Apple ship. Buy an iPhone today then wait a year or more only to find out the next big super secret release is some marginal upgrade. See iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4. Worth another two-year contract? I think not.
I'm not one to upgrade at every new release, but they say craigslist and ebay are good ways to get rid of old phones.

Yup. If you're buying a piece of technology so that you can feel good about having the "best" you're pretty thick.
You purchase something you feel delivers the best quality you can afford at the moment you are ready to purchase, and then enjoy it for what it is.
Sensation was that for me. Best choice for me at my moment of purchase, and I'm still quite happy about my choice.
So I am contemplating getting a new android phone because I can't stand the slow speeds and general lag of my ZTE blade anymore.
I want to buy offline, am in the UK and looking to spend around £220 tops.
I would ideally like it to ship with close to stock ICS and have a decent camera (doesn't need to be amazing) and obviously be ARMv7. The main thing for me is software, I want a smooth experience, with a solid android build.
I really want a Xiaomi Mi One, but they are simply impossible to get hold of outside China at a decent price.
Now heres the dilemma....theres a great offer on the HTC EVO 3D at UK store Asda at the moment for £207 all in. However I think it's ugly, 3D is a useless gimmick as far as i'm concerned and from what I hear it has terrible battery performance. I also hate Sense. However given the fact it has a QHD display, 1GB Ram and a dual core scorpion it is probably the best specd new android phone you can get for the price at the moment in the UK and there is a rumoured ICS upgrade.
The other option I had in mind was the Huawei honor which I could pick up for around £220 shipped from China. I like the styling, it has a huge battery and is shipping now with a close to stock good 4.0.3 build. However it only runs a single Core 1.4ghz Qualcomm scorpion and only has 512mb Ram.
I had considered the LG Optimus 2X but have heard only bad things. Xperia Play was an option too as I thought a game pad might be nice but again, hate the Sony skin and clean stock ICS is not an option. Nexus S would be great but they still cost £250+ and would ideally like expandable storage too.
I would like to run MIUI but can't be assed to mess around with all these half baked alpha/beta roms. Also a lot of the normal ICS builds I've seen about for the EVO look buggy.
Just want some reasonable hardware with a smooth ICS experience with as few bugs as possible and minimal hassle.
Any help in deciding or any other options I may have missed out on would be appreciated.....
I bought a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i) last week and am really happy with it.
I paid EUR150 in Ireland (Meteor) on a pre-paid plan and paid another $15 to get it sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked.
Audio is great. It has a single core scorpion that can easily be overclocked to 1.4 Ghz. The Adreno core runs surprisingly smooth. (Cant see a difference in performancy between my Galaxy Nexus and Live, although they do have different resolutions)
For the money this is the best low/midrange phone for sure will handle everything you throw at it really well.
Unlocking is a bit of a pain though (you have to peel off a sticker behind the battery to find test points and ground one of those points to unlock).
Currently running an alpha of MIUIv4 on it. It is very smooth but not yet feature complete.
Yeah, seen that, looks decent, was looking for something with a bit more screen real estate though, I found even the 3.5 inch on my ZTE blade a bit cramped.

Ooo, thanks for that. Basically the same spac as the Honour with a better camera and larger screen although batter capacity is smaller (saying that Sony's power saving is probably better anyway). It also looks like Sony are cooking up a tasty little ICS rom as well which is supposed to be dropping end of this month. This could be the one...

My girlfriend has the arc and battery is much better than my lg with a really good camera. Only problem she found is after a month the screen came loose and literally hangs off but to be fair it was an O2 refurb.
Really nice phone and pretty snappy too.

Galaxy Nexus, I have one and I love it.
Love to have one, unfortunately can only stretch to about £220.
Well I have to say I bought the Xperia S with high hopes it would live up to my past experiences of the Sony brand and the spec list on the Xperia S, however it hasnt really.
I have found it laggy and under-whelming even in normal use and dont get me started on those bottom buttons.
Looking at the spec, I would expect it to be a hell of alot quicker and less laggy than it is. Are these things that will be fixed with an update or is this the best we can expect the device to ever be.
Camera, not that impressed. It is capable of very good shots, but doesnt deal well with light, with areas of a image being washed out due to normal light from sky.
Anyone else considering sending it back / selling it, and buying something else?
I just sold it and decided to wait for a Sony model designed for ICS or with better bottom buttons. I thought the phone had too much Bezel area and length for the screen size. I hope Xperia P buttons are more sensitive. I didn't have long enough to see any performance issues. I seem to love my Arc even more now

I gotta be honest I'm really not sure. I also dunno if i want such a big screen. Stuck the Xperia s back in the box this morning and been using my trusty old iPhone 4 and I kinda prefer the size...but everything high spec at the moment seems to be going the 4 inches route.
I do agree btw what you said about ICS on the XS...it seems to be last in line..though I'm not really sure if it would make an improvement. You happy with yours aside from that?
Im happy with mine xperia s. Im only disappointed with built-in battery ;/
Very happy with the device, no disappointment.
I believe delaying the ICS is the correct decision, rather than rush out a flawed upgrade.
Had mine since release date I have no regrets. I like the build and NXT iface. battery I get just around 30hrs but I am not really a heavy user. Just waiting for the firmware update ICS right now is not a biggie for me. those wanting gs2 good luck to you just remember GS3 ain't that far away. Good luck to the HTC one guys personally I cannot stand sense or TW. Each to their own
XPS still is one of the most beautiful looking Android phone out there. HTC One X looks ugly to my eyes but I just pulled the trigger on it. Should have it next week. I just don't like how HTC phones have that curved edges at four corners of the screen. Decided to give it a chance till I find more details on Xperia P and the capacitive buttons.

I completely agree. This is the best gingerbread device on the market currently and one of the best smart phones currently available.
While lack of ICS for the time being is disappointing. The design, hardware and features more than makes up for that.
People are constantly praising my phone how amazing it looks and feels.
I've even had Nexus owners compliment my phone.
We also have the best screen and camera on the market currently.
You'd have to be crazy to give this phone up.

Touch sensitive buttons never a problem for me, I don't understand how anyone can have problems with them. When I first got the phone it was a bit hit and miss but got used to where I needed to press very quickly. If you have big fingers maybe but otherwise you shouldn't have a problem.
I had the hd2 for two years prior to owning this phone, and I loved it especially as it was easy to root and there are loads of custom roms and tweaks,it was like having a new phone every week.
Xperia S took a bit of getting used to coz I liked sense, still do, but after all the changing of roms it's nice to have everything working out of the box and I wanted a decent camera and video recorder and the one on the xperia is first class.
I'm not totally happy with everything but I haven't been with any phone I've had, the perfect phone doesn't exist, and never will.
I specifically got this for the camera capabilities, any other positives where a bonus.
So overall I'm very happy, but as someone already mentioned, each to there own.

If you answered "yes", then which phone do you wish you had bought/waited and bought instead?
Honestly I've never have to mess around/repair a phone so much and still, 4 months after buying, not at all being happy with it. Mostly it's the battery life, but the software support/bugs got me wishing I had bought another phone instead. Maybe an Xperia V w/extended battery or just an HTC.
It's 70% no and 30% yes.
I really dig this design, seriously, it's gorgeous! And the build materials...LOVE IT!
However...the camera isn't as impressive as I was expecting (my Xperia Pro took pretty damn good photos and sometimes, it was even better than my XP), the dual-core processor didn't blew me away and I'm kinda worried that we won't get an update past 4.1 (which kinda sucks, since I bought the phone 3 months ago).
When I bought XP, I was considering LG L9 (which I still kinda want, save for the ugly design of course) or Galaxy Advance (which was uglier and more expensive). If I get the chance I do would trade my XP for an L9.
But still, I love Sony's UI and apps, so I really never get tired of the phone, and the design will never feel old, nor outdated for me. It can be said that I'm quite happy with the phone, but I still would like to try that L9 phone.
Also, I kinda would like to return to a Galaxy Note (1), while the design is kinda bland, I really would like to experience having a big screen with some few tweaks, besides, I can just install Sony's apps on it.
i am using an xperia sola. i dont really bother about the build design and all but having the latest software means the most to me. its not that sola cant run the latest OS but its the bad chipset with virtually no developer support. So yes 80% i regret buying it. Everytime you buy a new gadget you learn something new. So next time i buy a phone ill ensure the chipset is only from qualcomm.
AW: Do you regret buying your Xperia P?
A clear no

Absolutly not, it's my first Androdi Phone but when I compare it with my friends phone, I really prefer mine.
Im already satisfied with my device, but im also worried we wont have an update past 4.1,...i guess this will be the last firmware we'll receive.

I dont know about you, but about the time I bought my Xperia U, there was no dual core CPU in the market for the price of the xperia U. I was told the battery lasted about 10 hours and as of now, I'm not disappointed with that claim. Sure, as of now, you have plenty of alternatives for a dual core with those mediatek ones even pumping out quad-core ones [which aren't as far off in benchmarks than our novathor chips].
And to be honest, the only problem I have is not having jelly bean. Then again, if we're being realistic, unless someone bought this phone purely for development [which in that case would be pretty damn dumb and they should have done more research] the phone doesn't falter back. My U satisfies whatever I throw at it at a day to basis [Regular Browser use, music, radio when on stock rom, calling and normal moderate-graphic-intensive-games] I don't see why anybody is complaining. considering the GUI is vitrtually the same as ICS save for project butter [which if you've seen on the xperia J is absolute rubbish]
Just my 2 cents.
EDIT:- Oh and like people have already said before at the price of an Xperia P you will not find the class of build quality observed on any other non-Sony device.
totally regret my xperia p, i live in Canada so i cant really get much for the device over here, plus battery sucks, and yeah kind of sick of messing with my device just so that it will work..its laggy and i should have waited for xperia z or nexus 4, which im probably gonna go get one or the other anyway....so sick of it lol
I dont regret...
I have Lumia 820 and Xperia P.
I bought the XP for 280 USD which is by far cheaper to another phones with the same specs.
Clearly i dont like the battery or the camera (is fine, not great as L820 but who cares)
+1 to that mate i have absolutely no regrets over this phone

Could have been better, could have been worse
For almost the same price o could have gotten the S2, so a little regret but not too much... it is a good phone
If nexus 4 was out I would've got that, and if I understood the limitations of Novathor might've looked elsewhere. But this is a decent phone for sure, best mid range imo
