I don't like the iPhone for a number of reasons and have been very critical of it in the past, but currently it is the benchmark that all others aspire to, its available and selling like hot cakes.
Given the fact the X10 is still in the lab with issues! I struggle to understand what statement comparing Apple rumors to Sony Ericson rumors makes?
The only benchmark it gives is sales number.
If not that, nobody would bother.

I dont think it gave a bluetooth update.it just added the a2dp profile function in the phone which the hardware was already capable of. MMS, copy paste were already possible using 3rd party apps so it was nothing new. You guys dont get the difference between a camera update and solutions which are already do-able.

Goldenface, thanks for clearing that up. I just wondered if you'd heard something specific. I don't think Orange have had an exclusive on any phone worth having for a while. Unless you include that Toshiba lump that they had to reduce heavily. For me the most exciting thing about them getting the phone March-April, means it must be on schedule(ish), they are almost always a couple of months behind as they Beta test themselves, or always used to. The delay in their getting the C905 was the reason I had an N82 for a little while, won't be making that mistake again in a while.
Like many here I have been quite anti Iphone for a lot of reasons, even tho I run a Mac. Mainly cos I thought it was mostly about looks. However having used a friends one over New year, it is a very user friendly UI, especially for Web-Browsing. But IMO SE are the most user-friendly of the Phone producers and X10 looks to be adding to this. I did love my P800 + P900 for the touch interface. Hopefully the Multi-Touch and 2xtap to zoom which help the Iphone's usability so much will come to X10 in time.
To all of those in here who are saying that SE has lost it's way, hasn't made a good phone for ages etc, what planet are you on? I have been SE since the K750i and apart from 6 months of torture with a buggy, laggy, power hungry N82 which Orange replaced three times because they were all known problems, I have never looked back.
I can't wait for the X10, let's at least agree it has great potential, and live with it a bit before writing it off because of vapourware?

I agree somewhat.
People are quick to judge, (and some say with good reason) but the X10 is shaping up to be a fine device and does have good specs. An OS update will make a lot of people very happy but for me it isn't essential. However, looking at the following list it does add to the user experience.

The voice control look like the most impressive.

I read the 10 reasons for Android.
Which of them are really cruical for you guys?
As I see it it's all UI centric,
giving nothing to any function of the device.

Doministry - As per my post saying we should all cut SE and the X10 some slack, cos I think it looks pretty special.. None of them are "crucial" for me. From what we know in the rumour mill, much of what 2.0 and even 2.1 add, are already dealt with by what SE have added themselves. And yet more often than not people here seem to want to do them down for tinkering with the Soft/Firmware. However as I said, the Multi touch side of both the iPhone and other Apple products i.e. Macbook Pro, is more than a gimmick, it does genuinely add to the usability of the devic IMO of course.
Speech control, if done well could be handy, but I am happy with the voice dial on my C905 and HBH130 in the car, which is the only time I can imagine not feeling a Prat using it.
Surely having the latest version of the OS, so long as it is stable can only be a bonus. I agree tho it is certainly not a pre-requisite to me. So especially if anyone from SE is watching, fat chance..I Want this phone!
Cheers
Richard

Well none are really crucial to me. The way I see it is what the X10 is giving us is an Android device with which we don't have to compromise (too much) on the hardware - great camera, fast processor, great screen and a great design.
Hardware wise its ahead of the pack because buyers of competing phones can not upgrade to similar hardware specs without purchasing a whole new device.
With the X10, the hardware is already there, with a good possibility of an OS update in the future.
Updating your hardware costs money, updating your software will cost hardly anything.
IMO - even without the update, the X10 can still hold it's own

The only way a device can destabilize the X10 from its current position is with HD recording. The X10 is the best looking Android handset yet announced. SE have done a double take by releasing the Vivaz alongside it.
