This was a big thing for me when I got the 3Gs. The phone I had before, a Nokia E90, had a large screen but only RealPlayer for videos. Not very nice when watching long movies if you have to fast forward one hour to continue where you stopped earlier.
Another feature I appreciate is how that the iPod player keeps track of what podcasts I've played and how far if not finished. You could install Nokia Podcasting on the E90 and it allowed downloading podcasts directly to the phone but it wouldn't remember how far each podcast had been played.

The reason I choose X10 :
- its blazin fast
- it has widget (widget very important to me)
- it can do multitasking (I can do several other things while using navigator)
- fully customizable (its very open)
- easy to transfer files to other phone or pcs (it behaves like usb drive)
- the look (its so beautiful)
Unless iphone can do the above, I'm not going to change.

Things i didnt like about my iphone 3gs that i sold to get the x10:
1. Everyone has one or will have one - you think you have somthing nice to show to your friends, you pull out the iphone and then you look around and everyone has it. Big minus for me.
2. I tunes - i will not describe what i dont like about it as i dont like a single thing about it.
3. The OS - it is just a very limited and boring OS (it might be fucntional but its still limited and boring).
4. No removable MicroSD card - like wtf really
5. No removable battery and battery life - i have 3 friends with iphones that have send their iphone for repair due to battery craping out after 5-6 months not holding any charge or draining in 2-3 hours
6. You have to jailbreak the phone to get walpapers - after you do that problems start - phone slows down quite a bit exits apps on its own needs respringing all the time etc...
7. Small screen - since i got the x10 i dont think i can go back to anything smaller.
8. The small screen scratches very easily so you have to buy aftermarket invisble shield (that oleophobic coating keeps fingerprints away but scratches way more easily than the 3g)
I can keep going on quite a bit with other things like no bluetooth transfer, you need too cut a song to have it as an ringtone etc.. but this post is getting big so ill stop. Just wanted to point out some things when looking to buy an iphone.
Things i like about the x10
1. Android OS - Its just amazing the things you can do with it, all the customization the looks and all the freedom you have with it are unbelievable.
2. Big Ass Screen - The 4" inch screen is just gorgeous
3. Snapdragon cpu- The processor is just fast, the whole phone performs fast with all kinds of widgets and apps running and doesnt slow down with just a background like the 3gs.
4. 8.1 Mp Camera - Awesome camera
5. Removable MicroSD Card - its so much more easy with it
6. Removable Battery - No explanation needed
7. Screen Comes with factory installed screen protector - no need to buy an aftermarket one
8. Last but not least the phone looks - The x10 is just sexy best looking phone out there imo
Things i dont like about the x10
1. No multitouch - not really a big deal as Sony have a much better solution to zoom and for games wich i dont play a lot is fine as most games dont need multitouch at least the ones i play (i dont play joystic games) but would've been nice to have
2. 384 ram - Thats again no big deal as its more then the iphones but it wouldve been nice to have 512+ as some other phones have it (nexus one, desire, evo etc..)
3. No root yet lol
4. android 1.6 - wich is not bad but it would be nice to get updated to 2.1 or 2.2 sooner as they are improved and faster
Thats about it..

I dont really see why anyone would choose X10 before the Desire.
Desire is faster, more ram, multitouch and the really nice sense UI, plus its 2.1 android OS, soon to be 2.2.
Ive played around quite a bit with my friends X10, Iphone 3gs and Desire before I made up my mind. I must say the decision was easy to make.
Desire.

To the OP: Wait for reviews to come out for the Iphone 4 before you make your mind if you can. All signs point to that phone being an absolute beast
.
As for me, I'm using a HTC Desire and I couldnt love it more. Great widgets, great screen (except in sunlight when its useless and some great apps.
I considered the Iphone, but seeing as how I personally cannot stand iTunes and synching with iTunes and im not prepared to pay such a premium for a phone, im passing on iPhone 4. I really wish android has something a great ass the iTunes store, or some of the
excellent games the iPhone, but not having either is not a deal breaker for me. Never used/seen an X10, but hear good things from people who have.
As others have said, either way you cant go wrong!

Desire.
If anyone want to get a better camera, big screen, better screen in SUNLIGHT etc etc, he would choose X10 before Desire

former 3gs user now x10 user.. future iphone4 user
The x10 isn't a bad device i've gotten quite use to android now and it does have it's +'s. I've had my phone for about a month now and the OS can get quite laggy (randomly) but overall it is quite fast. I get random black screens and what not but from what i've researched the random lag is an android issue.
Overall the iphone is just more polished, better apps, better games better overal product at this point imo. In terms of stability never had any issues with my jailbroken iphone.. backgroundr was great for multitasking and changing fonts themes etc. with winterboard was easy. Overall I just think the current iphone platform just delivers the based in style and substance but android will continue to compete i'm sure.

Went through youtube and forums about Xperia. I'm very impressed with Android. After doing a lot of research, I exactly understand every word from x10 users out here. Now that I have almost made up my mind with x10, I'm being more greedy of having Android 2.2. So anybody knows when Android 2.2 for Xperia x10 going to come out?
Thank you all. Likewise Esato has always been a very helpful forum
