desire or x10

Well, I haven't had any problems with my Desire so far. Except for the battery life, which is dreadfull but not worse then any other phone in its class and slightly better then the iPhone 3GS,  I would give it an all round thumbs up.

Also, if you're thinking to get the Xperia X10 you should be aware that it comes with Android 1.6 (Donut) and it won't be until Q4 of 2010 that it will get Android 2.1 (Eclair). As for the new Android 2.2 there's no news yet as far as the X10 in concerned.

And finally, the main thing which I think may be a deal breaker for the X10 is that its touchscreen is not capable of multitouch! That means no pinch zoom and no multitouch gestures will ever be implemented on the X10.

So if I were you I would consider the HTC Desire or the Nexus One. And, as for these two phones, the hardware is virtually identical. There are some differences but these are not fundamental and mainly cosmetic I would say. The one big difference is in terms of software, as the Nexus One comes with the pure Android and version 2.2 is already being uploaded wirelessly to all terminals, while the HTC Desire comes with Android 2.1 BUT it comes with HTC's Sense UI which I must say I'm quite impressed with. In terms of Android 2.2, there are rumours that it's already coming to the Desire towards the end on June which I guess would be pretty good if it does happen.

Actually, I also am a big SE fan and so far all my phones that I can remember have been Sony Ericsson (or Ericsson as they were called before the merger).

However, in this case I decided that SE still have some work to do on their phones. But then again, you never know, my next phone might as well be an SE again.

Get a nexus one you wont regret it with froyo already out and gingerbread in december its the best phone for long term use

Definately the Desire. Absolutely awesome. Was looking at the Nexus, but decided against it as I prefer the UI of the sense and also was with T-mobile.
The mrs is also a SE fan (must be something with partners-lol) and wants to get the X10.

Haven't had any issues with the Desire and think its my best phone yet.

 ccc168hkhk, what little problems have you had with desire?  sxi-boy, you fill me with confidence, I keep trying to tell my pet missus to drop the x10 and go for the Desire too but to no avail.

Yeah nice one diesel, I heard that an app killer would be an essential. Wonder if the battery life will improve after a good few charges. My omnia had dreadful battery life but now i get a good 2 and a half days from a single charge.

Well I upgrade from my Omnia to the Desire/X10 in 7 days, And the fact that I keep seeing at the end of peoples posts "best phone I've ever had" is sending the swingometer towards the Desire.
                                       I had an idea that the battery life would improve over time and thanks ovimunt I'll definitely try what you did.
