Can someone already owning the X10 tell me, if you can turn off UMTS (3G) so that only GPRS is enabled. For me it's important, because I am often in trains which have only a GSM/GPRS repeater built in, so I am turning off 3G on my G900 for example, otherwise it tries to switch to 3G when available and the switches back, which costs battery and the connection is shortly not available.
Second question (I already asked it, but maybe someone can try it out), is it possible to use the X10 as a modem which is connected through Bluetooth with a notebook?
Thanks!
BTW: prices in Germany are about 460 EUR atm.

Nicely done I am pleased to hear TS and MS run well, how many contacts do you have loaded?
I am not impressed to hear
have been sneaky & cheap using a plastic screen and yet claiming it is mineral glass! p155 poor in my opinion and yet another reason for me to question their build quality issues.
I would like to know just how prone all that shiny black plastic is to scratching, another build quality issue there I think.
The camera on any phone will only ever be as good as a toy camera can be regardless of how many mp they throw at them, but to hear the X10 flash is not up to scratch is disappointing.

It's easy to pidgeonhole the multitouch debate as a "techie" obsession that most users won't care about - nobody will notice out of the box after all - but it will become an ever more significant part of the user interface on other phones, including most other Android phones, and it will become a prerequisite of at least some of the apps X10 users will be wanting to download in the near future. The upshot is that those X10 users blindly buying the phone now as a "flaghip" device will end up being increasingly left behind over time as their hardware ages a lot faster than their friend's Nexus One or their auntie's iPhone, and that's something they will notice.
When that new must-have game at the top of the Android Appstore sales chart works fine on Billy's dusty old G1 but refuses to load on Bob's shiny new X10, Bob is going to be pissed off, and he won't be looking at Sony Ericsson phones again when that long old contract finally ends, because overall his user experience of the X10 will have been lousy and disappointing. Let's not forget that whoever's buying them, these are smartphones - they're supposed to stay smart and up to date over the course of their life, not be left idle with the same old features they came out the box with.

Say what you like about the iPhone, but at least the user experience has been consistent throughout - the original, three year old model still runs most of the same apps in the same way as the latest device, and has proven far more futureproof than the X10 is now destined to be.

I can't seem to find a source where SE claimed the X10 had a mineral glass screen. I can only find scratch resistant - which is on the official press release.
@untitled
Do you have a link to the store that has the X10 at 460EUR? Thanks mate.

I am not and have never been a fan of the iPhone I believe even in its current incarnation it is still flawed in a number of areas, however I am certain these wrinkles will eventually be ironed out as and when Steve Jobs decides for his followers what it is they want!
But you cannot deny that the iPhone is still the benchmark by which most buyers judge other Smart / Superphones by and multitouch functionality seems to be pretty much expected hence Android developers and HW manufacturers making it available. But IF
only wants to adopt the "we know whats best for you" bit of the Apple model then I think they need to think again and fast.

Well that is still poor, but better than claiming it was mineral glass from the get go!

HW x10 ages faster then N1..? Are you sure? You're referring to MT.. N1 has a shitty camera and an even more shitty screen. Seen the artical about the pixels
And OLED sucks in sunlight!

So a good UX on Iphone and a (even then) shitty camera is futureproof, and a good UX on the x10 en the best camera ever is not futureproof..?
I asked a friend who has an Iphone, what's the use of MT. He came up with gestures and being able to rotate shit..
He knows I don't like to play games on my phone, I have a ps3 for that..
Now I know I can use one hand to control my phone, I don't want to use two hands, like an Iphone..
Also, do Bob and Billy do anything else with their smartphones except playing games? If they don't, they need an Iphone..
One interesting thing about the new iphone, I've read that it wil have 960x640 pixels.. It will have a fast processor also.
Any thoughts on that?
