What are the chances for that, what do you people think? I mean getting more colours (and how much more?) with an update do Android 2.0. 65K is really low, so IMO that is a must!

that article doesn't say anything we didn't already know.
Obviously upgrading to a more powerful version of android will require higher specs to run it. X10 would not have that problem.
The second issue is software compatibility, specifically SE's custom interface and apps. This just means if we want to use SE's custom interface and apps, we have to wait for SE to make compatible versions (if they aren't already compatible). But, that doesn't stop us from upgrading to android 2.0 and simply using the standard android interface, as ugly as it is. Some might not care at all
I look forward to upgrading to android 2.0 though! There won't be a color depth limit like 1.6. Like the Droid, it'll have 24-bit color support, and the X10 should already have the specs to churn out those colors
For initial use, it won't bother me but since I look at a lot of photos, i'd rather have the 24-bit color depth eventually.

Hopefully, SE will build UX over vanilla android, as an app, and not "mess" with the OS.

Now when I read the review of Samsung I7500 (which has a display supporting 16.7 millions colours) over at mobile-review.com it clearly makes sense with all this whining of X10 just having a display able to show 65k colours.
It doesn't matter if the display is clear and shows vivid colours. It will just make it more obvious how extremely stupid it was by Sony Ericsson to only support 65k colours. The colour blending will become more obvious and pictures wont be displayed as they are meant to.
It has a resolution of 854x480 as we all already know and even 256k isn't sufficent for this resolution and size of the display, because still there will be 153920 pixles using the wrong colours due to the lack of rich colour palette support.
Whether the human eyes can see 16.7 millions of colours or not doesn't matter because clearly we can see millions of millions and anything bellow 16.7 millions to a high end device like X10 is not acceptable.
Whoever states anything else is lying.
We shouldn't bash people who feel let down by Sony Ericsson for giving us a display able to draw just 65k different colours. What we should do is to unite and put a preasure on Sony Ericsson to give us better display than just this lousy crap.
I'm with Sealover now.

@sealover94, how can u confirm the absence of multitouch when the marketing manager himself says that x10 will be having multi-touch support? where did u read the "No radio" thing? it would be nice to see at least the sources of ur "confirmations". the only thing I agree with u is the colour issue, but repeating it over and over again won't change this fact. I think we should wait for the final product before making any judgements

the radio is an attachement, hes right theres no radio
i told him and others that multitouch is software and a limit of 1.6 not X10
compass is golden!
but uhh to whomever is spreading the rumor that the color limit is due to 1.6 has false information, the only think i know of that was limited with android and the screen was the resolution which got kicked up in 1.5 or 1.6 which is why the X10 is 480*854 (wow) for example samsung:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i7500_galaxy-2791.php is clocking 16.7M for its screen + its OLED great contrast for videos and pictures.
and last but not least 8 minutes:

The device looks pretty good in that video... Would have been nice to know what the guy was saying along with his demo though!!!
With regards to the blog, he hasnt got a clue what he's talking about - 65k colours limitation of Android?!?!?!??! He fe hasnt seen the new Samsung then!!!
Saying that though, the screen looks alright on that video... Didnt think it looked bad... But I have to agree, more would have been better, whether thats 16.7m colours or just 262k due to battery issues... Both are better than 65k... The Hero is 65k and that looks fine, didnt even know it was 65k before this whole discussion...
I'm hopeful for a decent screen...
And damn, the phone is sexy!!!

This phone looks fantastic but SE have to stop blaming others for their shortfalls by the time this launches The iPhone fourth generation will have been announced as they announce the new models every january or july. SE need to stop trying to play Apple and NOKIA Games when the original N95 was announced the iphone was not even around so Nokia rode the Tidal wave of anticipation. SE cannot Afford to think that they can do the same, When the fourth gen iPhone is announced most people will forget the X10 ever existed.
The iPhone will probably move to LED or OLED as apple have moved everything to LED and so will Nokia
SE need to Hurry up with this device or risk a White elephant
