Okay so far, what I'm reading about the new Gingerbread update ain't bad at all, sure they be some things removed, but more are being added. but let's say if when I updated to the Gingerbread, but don't like it as much as I thought, will I be able to downgrade back to 2.1? I know Xperia x10 wasn't able to do that, but with these custom roms and having cracked the x10 Bootloader, will that change? Would I possibly be able to downgrade my android version at will?
btw, even though Mediascape slows down the phone, I thought it was a great feature that makes SE Xperia x10 stands out among the other android phones. Able to search music, photos and videos all in one app, as well as able to search via web for other works by the same artists, like on youtube. Would that be removed along with Mediascape, or is there a certain alternative with Gingerbread and the Arc and Neo?
Also, I'm looking for an apps that I can use for my hotmail and gmail account. I hate the pre-installed email app that doesn't able you to delete mail from the account, only on the one sent to your phone, then when you get online, there it is again, mail you already read and deleted from your phone. If there is a good app for that, that enable full access and sync, notify me. I recently got my ipod to be able to do that with it's pre-installed email app. Maybe I'm missing something from the email app on android?

You can downgrade if you have your phone rooted and you have one of the dycrypted ROMs downloaded from xda (anywhere else that has some). Then all you need to do is flash the original SE ROM in using flash tool.
The only thing is, we don't know if the SE gingerbread update will be rootable because it's not here yet. I'm sure it won't take long for someone to root it though. There's a lot of very skilled people out there doing these things for fun.
The email thing is down to using IMAP or POP3 I think (I may be wrong). POP3 will download a copy and store it on your handset, leaving the mail-server untouched. With IMAP servers the mail is stored on the server, only headers are stored locally and the body is downloaded on demand (unless you specifically save it locally). Both have pros and cons, but for what you describe it sounds like you're on POP3 instead of IMAP. Dunno if the in-built client handles IMAP (I use Gmail app as I only use gmail) but it should.
Google supports both. When I last used hotmail it supported neither (it as a long long time ago). Things have probably changed.

I am pretty happy with current Android OS : is the gingerbread the current update alert from SE or a forthcoming one?
I'll hold off until I hear good things after a couple of weeks of people playing about with Ginger'
Incidentally: Does SE or another supplier have a better quality stereo head set with controller?
Also, is there a blue tooth dialer available on the market? ie key pad.

Hey guys!!
Am looking at getting an X10 from plemix.com. In the plemix's website, it mentions that the X10 has a 4" crystal clear OLED touchscreen. I thought X10 has a TFT touchscreen. Even another vendor called gsmnation also lists it as 4" crystal clear OLED touchscreen. Has SE changed the hardware? or just these vendors want to quickly sell these X10s by saying that the X10 has a OLED touchscreen?

^screen is definitely not OLED.
in other news, I am gonna try replacing my touch digitizer tonight. Several things are going through my mind...
1) i'm gonna screw something up and brick my phone
2) the new digitizer won't work after i replace it
3) the new digitizer will suck worse than my original, but cracked, digitizer...
So, wish me luck. I'll probably start it in a few hours so if anybody wants to give me some words of advice, please do!

Didn't you crack your digitizer months ago?? You still haven't replaced it?
My advice is only general 'good practise' advice but:
Clear your desk completely (looking for a small screw that has rolled into a pile of loose paper is not cool)
Clean your desk (you don't want dust under that thing)
Keep your desk well-lit (again finding walking components is made a lot easier)
Don't work too close to the edge of your desk (things usually have a tendency to fall off the edge, major ballache)
Look up good disassembly instructions
example
Take notes or draw pictures of where screws and parts are coming from to aid putting it back together

yea i cracked it at least 6 months ago, if not longer. I just never got around to replacing it and tonight is no different! got distracted with other things and still haven't done it yet.
Thanks for the advice and that disassembly guide was the one i was planning to follow. It does not show how to replace the digitizer, though it links to another guide that I am taking into consideration. I'll likely use the blowdryer method to loosen the adhesive and hopefully not damage anything when prying it loose. I was also not sure how to attach the new digitizer since the one i ordered did not come with any adhesive. good ole Rookwise suggested i use very thin and clear double sided tape and i went out and got some today.
I will do this soon! I'm getting tired of seeing the crack and not having a screen protector on it (i don't see the point with a big crack in it) makes smudges and fingerprints an eyesore.
I'll probably get to it this week since i've got the tape now.

The double sided craft tape is a must. I got some a few years back for my T650 from Hobbycraft (dunno if you have them in the US).
Thankfully not needed any on my X10, although I'm considering taking it apart for a housing change to aid the flaking silver paint down the sides.
