Do you have a link to the store that has the X10 at 460EUR? Thanks mate.
Here is the German comparison site:

Here is one of the shops:
http://www.telefrog.de/produc[....]hne-simlock--ohne-vertrag.html for about 457 EUR
And this one I prefer, as it has 2 protection foils for the display and a leather box fot the x10 inside:

I am not impressed to hear
have been sneaky & cheap using a plastic screen and yet claiming it is mineral glass!
It probably is mineral glass, however there is a shutter proof sheet glued on top of the glass (the sheet is hard to notice if you are not aware of it), which possibly may give a plastic feeling. This is mentioned in the wihte paper and has also been confirmed by many Swedish X10 owners (see link below if you can read Swedish). It also seem to be removable if you don't like it.

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!
Sure, you can argue that the X10 has a better camera, or a better screen (though that last is kind of doubtful), but that doesn't "age" the Nexus One, at least not in the same way that the lack of MT will agressively age the X10 over time. Both these phones have cameras and screens, but only one will have multitouch, and only one will be able to run the next generation of Android apps (and indeed Android itself) with all the multitouch features as intended. Nothing ages any computing device faster than not being compatible with the latest software.
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..?
The best UX and the best camera won't make an Android phone that can't run the latest Android apps futureproof. Likewise, I don't see what a bad camera has to do with anything - a bad camera is a bad camera, same now as it was then - the point is, that original iphone and it's crappy camera can still run the very latest version of the iPhone OS complete with the vast majority of apps in the appstore. In three years time, the X10 will be at least two OS behind (what are the chances of Android 3 not being completely MT from the ground up?) and probably won't run anything in the Market. And it's camera will be laughably out of date..
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..
And you don't like to manipulate pictures, you have a PC for that. And you don't like to zoom in documents, you have a magnifying glass for that. And you don't like to be able to type more easily, and you'd rather not run the latest apps, and you don't want the next big Android update, etc etc..
Now I know I can use one hand to control my phone, I don't want to use two hands, like an Iphone..
You know the amazing thing about hands? They have more than one finger and a thumb on them. Think about it.
Also, do Bob and Billy do anything else with their smartphones except playing games? If they don't, they need an Iphone..
You name me anything you might want to do on your smartphone, I'll give you an example of how developers might well implement multitouch in the interface for it.
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?
It's all open speculation at the moment - all anyone really knows is that there will be a new iPhone in June/July. I'm sure they'll make it faster still, and it's probably time for a higher-res screen, but there's a million other less predictable things they might do..

I doubt it.
The X10, with its UX, was in development for a long time - which is probably why it was based on Android 1.6.
I'm guessing future Android Xperias won't have this long development time as future iterations of the UX will simply be a development of 'Rachael'.

But as Rachael's already so out of date, surely their next Android flagship (if there is one) would need to be developed again from scratch anyway?
Sure, there'll be the X10 Mini and whatever else spun out from it, but they won't be flagship phones. The X10 replacement would need to be significantly different, and it will probably need to come soon, too.

When I refer to 'Racheal' Im referring to the skin the layered over Android - Timescape etc. It seems pretty complex and I'm guessing this is what took so long to develop. It would just receive updates rather like the Walkman media players on Walkman phones.
