Hey all
Just one simple question
The Xperia Or Touch HD?
Im on Orange and have been waiting for the Xperia to come out but seem to be waiting a long long time to see no sign of it.
So should i wait and see if it comes out or go for the HD, not willing to move network as i find orange is the best for signal where i live and surrounding area. Nothing else has really taken my eye that Orange have to offer?
Thanks in advance all. |

I don't want to burst your bubble but don't get your hopes up too high for that "magnificent" construction - any potential X1 owner should probably be aware of this - http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=xperia+cracking
That said, the Touch HD isn't much better - HTC clearly have some manufacturing problems at the moment - http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q='Touch+HD'+paint+chipping

My X1 hasn't cracked or had its paint peel off. Some people are just unlucky, and even if you get one of the "bad handsets", the utmost brilliant XPERIA service allows you to get a new one immediately.

This is the same dilemma I have - Im leaning more towards Touch HD though after watching countless YouTube videos.
Only issue is Orange's pathetic data plan! |

i think im gonna go for the HD as well. I also read and see on you tube that the HD can run the Xperia interface 2 (or better).
am i going to be an outcast now seems this would be my first non SR phone in around 7 years? |

I got X1 and it's marvellous. I also had in hands HTC Touch Pro.
Honestly, XPanels on SE are 100 times more convincing as TouchFlo on HTC and I would not revert it really. X1 also has a great keyboard.

Actually used the X1 today for a good hour at my friend's. I was pretty surprised at how solid it felt. I did like the panel idea but I think it could've been a bit better though like when you lay the panels out in a playing card fashion it doesn't really give a benefit over the grid. We don't have any company that carries either o those in Canada sadly  but I'd probably go with the X1 but I haven't gotten a chance to use the HD too much.

I was a dedicated SE user but I bought th HD a month ago, its a great phone, very easy in th hand & great for internet, nice fast one handed operation once ur used to it, I have one with th paint chipping issue, am awaiting htc's responce, on th phone they said they were aware of th issue, so lets see how much cash they offer me to put up with it  anyway th phone is superb to use & pullout keyboards are flashy, but a waste of space. for me its all about biggest screen on smallest phone.

Xbox man I too keep switching between the 2.
I like the Panel concept and you can get Touch Flo 3D on the Xperia also. I know you can get Panels on the HD but its buggy atm.
What's strange is I like the Facebook app (even though I dont use fb THAT much), but I like what is possible with panels - and that got me liking the X1 more. Also seeing it properly in black.
Hard to decide as the phones are different (keyboard, without keyboard) but I think the bigger screen of the Touch HD and the fact its a bit thinner with a better camera make me lean more towards it. However the problem is also its v hard to find - not many people are selling or trading, much easier to find an X1! |

being a SE fan for a long time now (my first Ericsson was the T28s, since then i am buying only Ericsson, SE phones) this time i will not choose the Experia. The phone was delayed in my country and it seems already outdated as a device. I think SE lost the revolution touch on their phones.
I am going for the htc HD in the next days.
I expect more from SE in order to buy another SE device. |
