Dups I sold the iPhone 3G long time ago.It was the easiest phone to sell and I back got pretty much back what I paid for it.

I don't know why I'm even talking about these phones anyway when its only gonna matter for me in 5 months time.Gonna zip it I think for the time being.

Hope everyone is good!

Im impatiently waiting for the Sensation XE to arrive, on the other hand friends are pressuring me to get one of the new BBs and i just cant bring myself to wanting any of them lol.

Android realy is the OS for me, it satisfys my Social side very well, handles media brilliantly and all this whilst also feeding my geeky side and looking good doing it ,with webOS and Meego kind of dead i just cant imagine leaving Android, especialy for a BB.

Hopefuly the iPhone5 will be to your liking, there are days when im a bit bored of Android, but i run straight back to it after trying a Symbian, BB and iPhone, all 3 dont feel as complete to me as Android.

I know what you mean.There are good days and bad days with the X10 (Android). Sometimes it just feels like its not doing things fast enough or some days it just doesn't quite look right.I'm back on Z's CM 7.1.The speed and smoothness of his rom is essential for me to stay with this X10.

When is the Sensation XE arriving?

Thats good, as long as its fast enough for you, the lag can be annoying sometimes. What ive recently noticed is how slow the camera is at launching, its quite embarrassing as it is a 1GHz phone.

According to HTC it should be here by Q1, hopefuly its here early like mid December, read the GSMArena review and im amazed by HTC Sense3.0 and the look of the phone.

My X10 battery seems to be expanding at the bottom,ive never had that happen on a SE phone, and when charging it gets up to 87% then it heats up, i unplug and plug it back in and then it goes to 100%, it still holds its charge well though, get 1.5days of average use still although it will sometimes turn off when it gets to 15% but i'll be able to turn it on, the battery has had it seems.

ive found my joy using android again.
enter the pp LCD Resolution (can be found on the market.phone must
be rooted.)
changed my screen resolution from default 240 to the marker 170 and it
looks fantastic.
thank goodness something to make me see the light again.
my x10 rocks again!

Awesome, cant wait to take delivery, Xmas has come a month early!

Hobbs

Now that im getting a new batt and cover i may just give up that Dec upgrade, to be honest its driving me up the wall, especialy with that upcoming quad-core HTC, SE Nozomi with HD1080p display, new Mali GPU, new Tegra CPUs etc...let me not repeat the mistake i made with the K850 and take whatever i can get, rather wait til mid next year and get a complete upgrade, lets see what MWC2012 brings

heres an example of how much more you can fit on the screen.
the about screen in settings.everything fits on the screen without any scrolling needed.
compare this screenshot with what you have now and you will see this apps potential.it can still go down another 50 to 120.ive got it on 170.



i would wait.you are going to kick yourself when you're sitting with a sensation and the galaxy sIII or the new iphone 5 or the quad core htc ect hit the market next year.

5 months will fly past.

sit tight with me.
