I picked up an X10 last week at Best Buy for free with a 2 year contract. I wanted a black one but they only had white left (about 5). Ordered a black housing for it already. Flashed it up to 2.1 and I'm loving it so far. I'm planning on ditching my iPhone 4 as I'm finding myself liking Android much better than iOS. The X10 is actually a great phone. I'm not sure why it got such a bad reputation. Must be the Android 1.6 that it had originally?

Of course it's the aged 1.6 + SE bloatware that tarnished the name of such an awesome device

So far, I've found quite a few things I like about it over the iPhone:
- Uses a standard micro usb port for charging & data.
- User removable battery.
- Micro SD slot.
- 3 hardware navigation buttons + a camera button instead of only one.
- Better notifications.
- Seems snappier in many respects.
- Handles incoming calls properly when connected to the bluetooth handsfree in my car stereo. i.e. Defaults to the handsfree instead of the handset like my iPhone 4 did (very annoying.).
- Getting reports of much better voice quality from people I'm talking to when I'm using various bluetooth handsfree devices.
- Much more open - not chained to iTunes, easy to flash, custom roms, etc..
- Built-in real-time stock application - Finance.
- Better integration with Gmail, Picasa, and Facebook.
- Better camera and flash.
- Built-in GPS turn by turn navigation application.
- Detailed battery usage info.
- Comes in both white and black.
What else am I missing?

Custom ROMs bring out this phone's awesomeness!
, having run Froyo custom ROMs for thn past two months and having settled on Wolfbreak's Cyanogen MOD based ROMs it amazes how fast this phone is even next to the iPhone4, its just incredible, yet its so smooth, and fluid, cant wait for Gingerbread, its going to be EPIC!

Anybody interested in buying a white X10 from me?
For £120 I'll post it anywhere in the world.
Phone is in good condition (I'll send some photos out)
Original wired headset and I'll apply a fresh Martin Fields screen shield
Includes charger+USB cable, original wired headset that came with the phone (unopened)
Unfortunately my gf threw the box away, but I'll package everything nicely when I send it out
My silver arc should be here by the weekend.
