How can you say that it's "sllightly behind everyone else" when it's ( to my knowledge ) the first android phone with a snapdragon processor, a 4 inch screen with a 1500mha battery...
Because it isn't the first for any of that yet. You're doing exactly what SE want and talking about the *announced* product as if it's already on the shelves - in reality it isn't ready and won't be available for months yet. In the meantime, more seasoned Android hands such as HTC are due to release Snapdragon-powered Android phones before Christmas, and it's quite probable there may be others by the time the X10 finally limps into view.
Even ignoring the fact that this phone isn't due out till February at the earliest, there are already Android phones on the market
now running the later and greater version 2.0. The phone SE have announced for release next year is out of date right now.
And their mediocre Symbian phone is from what I have heard one of (two?) phones that may actually be considered as a replacment for a ordianary compact camera.
In the words of The Register in their review, "a decent operating system and an above-par camera can’t save this expensive, uncomfortable phone from obscurity" -

I would be very surprised if HTC released another handset before christmas. Its now mid november and by this time I would think its already to late if you want to release for the christmas sales. And by the way, I own an HTC device and I wont do that mistake again. The only thing keeping me from throwing it away is the fact that I can update it with custom ROMs to make it at least usable. So newer again a HTC. And about Android 2.0, i see nothing worth updating for except the new google maps with navigation. The rest of the improvements SE has already taken care of.

I know I just said "ignore Boinng", but I can't let this idiocy go on.

I'm sorry, "such as HTC" what?
Mr. Peter Chou himself has said on record that they COULD do an Android version of the Leo right now, but they WON'T because WinMo is their flagship OS. Who died and made you Pope so that you can override his authority?
Even ignoring the fact that this phone isn't due out till February at the earliest, there are already Android phones on the market now running the later and greater version 2.0. The phone SE have announced for release next year is out of date right now.
There are already Android what?
There is ONE Android phone out there with 2.0. ONE.
And it so happens is that it is a Google Experience device. None of the existing phones have been assured a 2.0 upgrade officially except the Hero and guess what? It runs on shitty hardware.
For someone chastising SE for announcing a phone months before release, you have NO RIGHT to talk about how the competition MAY have better phones. When they DO come out, you'll have a valid point. As of right now, this is one of the most complete phones not just on Android, but on all given platforms. Jesusphone included.
Till then, you have absolutely nothing worthwhile in your rants. nadda.

If they don't put it out in December then it'll be very soon after - they're leaders in the Android field, they're already using the Snapdragon in winmo (in a device that's actually on the market), and they don't announce phones six months in advance like SE.
And by the way, I own an HTC device and I wont do that mistake again. The only thing keeping me from throwing it away is the fact that I can update it with custom ROMs to make it at least usable. So newer again a HTC.
I own one too and can fully sympathise, but seriously, as much as I imagine you're hoping this isn't the case, SE have NOTHING to shout about when it comes to hardware or software quality control - they've long since ruined their reputation there too.
And about Android 2.0, i see nothing worth updating for except the new google maps with navigation. The rest of the improvements SE has already taken care of.
That's just silly - SE have added third party apps for some additional features over 1.6, but 2.0 is a new version of the OS, integrating and optimising those features into core itself, together with other improvements - plainly better.
PS - I never said I'd ignore Synn, but I will anyway.

You mean the Navigation Maps? What else is beta? To be fair, I think the point is it's a phone designed and built around 2.0, you get a 2.0 experience in the box and it'll undoubtedly take the future 2.x updates with ease. With the X10, SE seem to have taken this completely backwards step in centering everything around 1.6, for a phone being released next year when everyone else will be prepping 2.0 upgrades. It makes no sense until you consider SE's recent track record, and you realise that internally, they probably had this pegged for a Q3 release originally...
