Does X10 have equalizer in the Mediascape application?
How does X10's screen look like when someone is calling you? Is it like Aino's or it's better?

With regards the calling question, I would add...
When someone calls it will obviously display the associated contact picture, but will it have the green Android robot when there is no contact picture - just like the HTC Hero???
Ive read that a number of people dont like that green robot so have been looking for ways to change it - think the only solution at the moment is a custom rom...
I wonder if SE has skinned that and made it the same as there other phones...

do we at least know a release window for this one ?

And I have another question ( but don't forget the previous one - I am waiting an answer ) - how do we multitask in Android?

There are several applications available on Android Market. I don't know the exact names but Rikard Skorberg said he downloaded one and it performed excellent.

I actually found the answer a while ago here - http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?topic=14381.0 . I found also some good file explorers and other interesting applications for Android, such as MobileWrite, Voice Text, Youtube Downloader and so on.
As far as I understood, when you press the middle button in X10, you actually minimize the program, but you don't close it. I'm wondering how do you switch between the opened apps. Using "EStrongs Task Manager", there is an option "Switch To", but how to open the task manager, since there is no icon in the taskbar?

As per your link, you simply need to hold down the 'Home' button to bring up the last 6 used apps... If you wanted to use another you would need to just single press the home button and then navigate to the other program... This is of course unless you use a different task manager type program... But as you can setup your home screens how you like, you can do so in a manner that allows you to access what you need quickly and easily...

I hope its not true. The Android landscape is going to heat up Q1 2010. Having an SE Android 1.6 handset come out that late (in a few select markets) is going to cost SE a lot of money.
Posted by tranced
Why the delay? Hardware or software problem now?
Posted by mediar
That's really bad. Why don't they stop working on 1.6 and go directly on 2.0? At the time they release X10, Google Nexus One will have obsesses X10's supposed marked share.
X10 is going to have the same release period like X2 - 5 months.

now what i was saying about a month ago.... about delaying.......
I hope some guys understand why i was agry when i was informed about X2 releasing dates......
Posted by OffLineR
X10 is still the best phone for me.
I hope it will as well be when
release the phone 
Posted by Hiron
Why don't they just release X10 with 1.6 vanilla android on november (without UX) and then release an update to 2.0.1 with UX later in March? That would make a lot of money from the end-year season...

SE's release date was originally Q1 so technically there isn't a delay yet....

No they can't and that's why they didn't get it when you pointed out the implications of it to them once again bringing down the rage of the juvenile on your head. When I consider the input you've had to this thread and the way you're regularly treated by fanboi infants I'm amazed and impressed you continue bothering.
I hope Rog's info is worst case scenario rather than set in stone for SE's sake and let's see how today's announcement from Google leaves the X10 project looking.
Posted by Nitro Fan
Given
past record the chances of the X10 being on time, reasonably priced and with working SW mods are IMHO remote
However having had an opportunity to use an android device (T-Mobile Pulse) extensively over the Christmas period
could learn a thing or two about build quality from Huawei this thing is CHEAP yet it is very well built so take note
But as for capacitive screens, they are rubbish! I had more typos than I can care to mention, the screen simply does what it feels like, unlike the resistive screens
and Nokia have been using which are accurate and work first time every time, whoever thinks capacitive screens are the way forward has clearly never used one that's for certain.
In fact the screen made the whole experience rather disappointing, often taking three or four touches to launch an application and it was rather laggy I can only hope
decide to drop putting another layer of interface over the OS.
For one thing they have proved they are no good at it with the X1 and secondly it will be so slow it wont be worth trying to use it!
Overall I can see where Android is coming from and it has the potential to be a very good OS although Google Docs needs FAR better integration but it is not yet the finished article
I am seriously considering either the N900 (But I need to see how those slider keyboards behave over time before I spend MY hard earned cash on one) - Or an Android device the HTC Hero looks very promising and in theory the X10 looks very good but as I said at the beginning have my doubts about
ability to deliver.

I suspect the January release window was dreamt up by somebody at SE back when they still thought it was okay to release horribly buggy phones to early adopters - before the embarrasment of the Satio and the public shaming that the retailers wrought on SE. Maybe someone got nervous about repeating that again so soon.
Or maybe they've decided that the X10's launch was likely to get lost in all the Nexus One's hooplah anyway? Do they release now and try to shout louder than Google, or leave that to settle down and release in March when the X10 is even more out of date? An unenviable choice.
What they should have done? Dropped development of the pointless and similarly delayed X2 several months ago, piled all their resources into the X10 from the onset, and released this phone before Christmas when it could have had a real impact.

To be fair, that sounds like a poorly implemented (cheap?) screen, with an OS that has no multitouch support (and hence a rubbish on-screen keyboard). There are a LOT of satisfied iPhone users out there who have used a capacative screen extensively and are certain they're the way forward (though not for everyone, naturally).
Android makers really need to make more use of multitouch, especially on keyboard-less phones, and it's something of a mystery why they don't.

sorry but how does releasing a phone for christmas mean better sales??
dont know bout over there, but phone sales have been poor over christmas here. well, only thing which say higher sales are the cheaper things, like prepaid/payg
Posted by anonymuser
People tend to buy things at Christmas, then tighten their belt in the new year - but to be honest that's almost incidental to this. Releasing a high-end handset before one of the biggest companies in the world releases a directly competing product, that would have helped SE sell this phone.

Have SE actually confirmed a specific release date in Q1? If they haven't then how can it be delayed.
@Boinng
Do we have a release date for the google phone or is it just an announcement?

To my best knowledge SE officially never gives any specific dates, just quarter and year. Specific dates given usually comes from second sources, which may or may not have any insight in the company (difficult to know).

The January launch date was always unlikely but it has been attributed to various "official" SE sources over the past month or so. It even appeared on the SE website at one point.

Right now we have nothing, the announcement hasn't happened yet - but the phone exists in fairly final form and has been released (complete with what appears to be retail packaging) to the likes of Engadget for in-depth review. It gained FCC approval earlier than the X10 and appears to be ready for a January release.
Either way, even a promise of this phone from Google themselves will take out some of the X10's potential sales. They should have been quicker, simple as that.

@Boinng
You sound like you've written off the X10 already but it's still a very highly anticipated phone. After an update to 2.0 the X10 will be on par software wise and probably above par hardware wise and I'd say that most would agree the X10 is eye candy when sat next to it.
Posted by anonymuser
I haven't written it off, but the existence of the Nexus One is a serious blow to the X10's chances. It was originally thought (by some) that the X10 would be the first 1GHz Snapdragon Android handset, and a clear class leader - not any more.
Like I said before, they should have dropped the X2 and gotten the X10 out a lot sooner - and if you aren't convinced that the X2 was a waste of development resource, read this - http://news.softpedia.com/new[....]ricsson-Xperia-X2-131164.shtml
After the "success" of the Satio and X2, could there be more riding on the X10 now?
