@jkovacz,

For reason a) if you don't like timescape, why don't just delete the shorcut? And if you don't like color blue, why don't change the background?

I don't use timescape that much. I only use it to do quick glance on facebook newsfeed. But I use mediascape a lot.

For reason b) this is the first time I heard such problem. Strange to hear that 1 Ghz phone is so slow.

I am going to add another X10 in my collection, this time the X10 mini (or maybe X8 if I can wait) because 300 euro for the mini and 200 euro for X8 are very good price for a smartphone.

Wont go far wrong with either of these 3, X10 will be serious contender after next update, Desire certainly offers much, Android is eating huge chunks out of everybody's market share,, iphone4 has more or less everything you might want this time around, if you can overlook the eye-watering prices.

that is why I pointed out that the firmware meddling by o2 Ire may well be the culprit. And the fact that it was so slow meant I couldn't be ars*d to play with settings....

I have heard a lot of people stating the x10 is slow with bad battery life.

Are there *any* tools for syncing an Android phone in the same way you do with iPhone/iTunes, i.e. that it keeps track of what podcasts, audiobooks and videos you have played and also keeps track of how far each media file have been played? (If you start playing a podcast on your iPhone, sync it to your PC or Mac and then play the same podcast on the computer, it will resume from the same point where you paused it on the phone. The same with audiobooks and videos.)

Alright it's time for me to buy a new phone and sadly I think it's not going to be SE anymore.

Currently am using X1i and i'm pretty happy with the phone but some of the keys on qwerty board is not working and volume button does not work anymore so I cannot ugrade the firmware. I'm from India and the service center does not give a shit about the volume button as my warranty period is over. It's time for a new phone.

Talking about X10 - I've heard it's slow and the battery life is not good. It still needs firmware updates. I am very happy with Sony Ericsson phones but it's high time they release a proper firmware and not wait for updates. I have been through this process with K700,W800i,P910i,P990i,P1i and X1i. Now the market has changed a lot and I cannot do this anymore. Wait for the proper firmware and then you get satisfied, only if the bugs are fixed.

Now iPhone 4 - I didn't like iPhone or 3GS only because I thought it still lacked quiet a lot of features which are now in iPhone 4 and looking at the features of iPhone 4, it's pretty amazing that it beats X10 in many areas like facetime and the screen resolution. I did hear iPhone was intially slow but I did hear that iPhone 3GS is fast and iPhone 4 is even faster so there I assume I shouldn't have any complaints about the speed and updating the firmware.

Now let's forget the features. My usage now has changed a lot. I use e-mails service and browser like very most of the time. And then there is calling and messaging that's it! I don't really care about games at all. I play Pocket UNO on my Xperia and I love it. Basically I just need one simple game to entertain myself if am standing in a line or getting bored which doesn't really happen that much. I need good battery life and that's what stopping me from X10 and I myself saw the X10 running little slow at a shop. I was suprised but may be that piece was old or soemthing. I don't know.

I need someone who can help me out with this. No HTC/Samsung/LG or any other. Either iPhone or SE !!!

Thank you.

Hmm.. seriously, this is the first time I heard that the X10 is slow. From my and some other friends experience, the phone is blazing fast even the time scape is fast. Perhaps there is an application the cause the phone to be slow. This is one of the problem with multitasking phone. If you have one dodgy application running in the background that hogging the memory or cpu, your phone will be slow. Perhaps this is the reason why apple does not include multitasking in the iphone in the beginning.

As for the battery... as stated in the user manual, the batteey need several charging cycles to be in full performance and that os what happen. In the beginning the battery was quite bad but after several cycles I can get more than 1 day. Its good considering the screen size an the cpu speed.

.. and I'm using X10 a lot for web browsing. Now the X10 has taken over my notebook for web browsing.

From my experience, I don't see any advantage iphone has over X10 and I don't like the limitations iphone has such as bluetooth file transfer, mp3 ringtone etc. In this regard, android has the advantage over iphone and X10 has the advantage in terms of camera and in the design department.

@rikken,disable automatic update search and you'll see the "magic" happens
About speed of the phone it's quite fast... I had a Milestone before it and i feel X10 faster than it.
Nothing on the phone is sluggish.
Everything works fine and smoothly.

@Indiandawg
Have been using the x10 for 2 months, no signs of sluggishness whatsoever
As for the battery, I managed to have 48 hours , until I installed the ADW Laucher => I reach now 72 hours with moderate use
