BIG D, as far as i know connecting your phone to SEUS(i guess pc-companion too) will give you a message if you want to update, if not chose to repair, it will whipe everything and download the firmware again and installing it (the SD will remain untouched as usual) and you will have to re-root.

Hi guys.

On Saturday my X10 should be delivered, so i wanted to ask a few questions, since i am new to android and this particular phone:

1. Is the screen really scratch resistant, does it need an extra protector?
2. Whish is the last official version of Android for this phone?
3. Could i somehow remove the SE addons of the phone (I want to make it have the stock android looks)?
4. Does it record HD video (720p)?
5. Do you find the incall volume quiet?
6. Is there a way to enable somehow the "Pinch zoom" option of the browser?

Thank you in advance.

I would have picked another phone mate...

1. Its not scratch resistant (at least it does not seem to me), get a protector
2. Its a lousy 2.1
3. You have to root it and get rid of all the crApps
4. not sure
5. Yea the volume seems fine in 2.1
6. I read somewhere that SE whants to bring multitouch to it... but to be honest I doubt it.

@dngeorgiev not everything slead said is 100% accurate

1. The screen IS scratch resistant but comes with a pre-applied non scratch resistant 'shatter-protection' cover.
2. Android 2.1 is the latest official FW
3. With root access (very easy to do) you can remove most of the pre-installed apps and replace them with standard android versions e.g. music app and gallery app to replace mediascape.
4. The newest FW records in 720p. The screen resolution isn't high enough to play in 720p.
5. Some still complain of low in-call volume but very few.
6. Dual-touch 'pinch-to-zoom' is enabled in the browser and all supported apps in the latest FW. True multi-touch isn't going to be available as the hardware doesn't support it.

As Ricky answered all your questions, I wont go through it again but just wanted to say that its a brilliant phone. I dont have latest firmware yet and dont really care much. It works charm for me. You have to realize that no phone can run without lags, as of now. Also dont miss multitouch as I think its a big hype to me. What is really good about X10? Its keyboard, not many people love it but I do. Also the feel of using it everyday. It does everything besides flash but for that I use skyfire browser. For music I use real player. Calendar, alarm, barnicale Wifi and lots of other apps works great for me. I dont play games besides glow hockey. The best thing is Wifi and 3G signals works amazing for me and its very important. Hope you enjoy your X10
Enjoy

Edit: Few apps that I would like to share with you.

Adobe Reader - PDF files
CNET News - just to see what's going on around and if anything new has come out.

Photaf - I use this to click panorama pics
Photoshop Express - just to play around and edit pics

Actually, just in case some of you don't know, you can now use multi touch in every app that utilises it including the browser and third party apps such as angry birds.

See this thread

It was very easy to do this, just follow the instructions.
