@woz2010
Must've been a nice surprise for you as you weren't aware of the latest X10 software development news. Most of us knew it was coming since roughly 3 months ago and the multitouch feature is one of the most if not THE most anticipated feature for this particular update

Guys a little help here..

Seems like MWC is over for SE and there was no announcement of a midrange phone like an X8 upgrade. I realized that I should reconsider getting an X10.

Do you guys recommend X10?And Why?
All I want is an X8 with autofocus, multitouch and flash-enabled web browser. How's the multitouch in X10? Can you use it in 3rd party apps? About the browser, I think there are 3rd party browsers which have flash right?

And if you guys have any other phones in mind, I'll be very glad to hear that. I'm also leaning towards Samsung Galaxy Ace and Lg Optimus Chic.
Thanks in advance.

Shino, you won't get flash browsing and the phone won't be updated past 2.1, otherwise it should fit the bill for you. I am happy with it (would be VERY happy if I knew it would get updated to 2.3 at some point) and won't be upgrading until the 2012 batch of phones is out.

Bialynia, thanks for the reply.
How about 3rd party browsers? They still don't have flash support? And any issues like battery or built issues like low speaker.

Does SE has any plans for upgrading X10 to 2.2 or 2.3? As far as I know, they only promised 2.1 right?

@Shino03 SE claim that their 2.1 is better than 2.2. I'm not sure myself. They've said that they won't upgrade to 2.2 and made no promise on 2.3 although there were one or two reports from Brazil that 2.3 may come later in the year, take that with a pinch of salt. 3rd paty browsers won't do flash as the 2.1 OS simply cannot handle it, none of the developers over on any other forums have managed to get flash into 2.1 and I doubt that any will. The best we can realistically hope for is perhaps a port of arc's FW to the X10 through some developer custom ROM action, but that will require you have the want, will and knowhow to personally reflash your device thereby voiding warranty etc etc.

On the other side of the coin, among it's class (inc desire, nexus one etc) I think the X10 puts up a reasonable fight. The others are on 2.2 nowadays and have flash in the browser etc but that's offset by the better cam and overall aesthetics of the X10. I have no regrets over buying the X10, best phone I've owned by a long way.

Saying all that, I will probably buy arc next month...

@Ricky, as far as I remember, the roadmap for the updates for the xperia family was leaked. Was there a mention about upgrade to 2.3. And if there was none, did SE made it clear by announcing that X10 would not get future android updates(versions) anymore?

Also, I've read that the browser of HTC wildfire is capable of flash even though it's just 2.1

HTC desire is also expensive at 500$. My budget is just around 300-400$
Anyway, Thank you very much.

From USA with a Germany version Xperia X10i. I'd been waiting for a long while for that latest update, the one with the limited multi-touch zoom as well as the faster Mediascape/Timescape. nothing came up yet, how long am I supposed to wait, and if anyone already got the update yet, here in USA or with a Germany version?
