Yo! Wanqs, that's realy good for a Nokia Nseries flagship, far less than the N97 and N900 were. 
Dups!
 lets hope the Droid Pro is such a success they decide to make a GSM version for the successor. I totaly gave up on ever getting to use a Palm Pre, still realy like WebOS, so much potential wasted by Palm.
Google Chrom is excellent indeed! I use it on my laptop, replaced Opera10 with it a month or so ago.
It seems 2.2 is more buggy than 2.1, apparently 2.3 is on the way to fix those things, maybe SE are working on that for the X10? Wishful thinking . The Galaxy-S owners seem to enjoy being ripped off, the phone lags, has very poor battery life and a major GPS issue, many have had to resort to installing custom ROMs just to fix the lag. Hopefuly 2.1 for the X10 wont be too buggy.

I hope so, Tsepz_GP. The Droid Pro is a perfect replacement for my P1i. I hope it sells a lot for Moto so we can have the GSM version.
Isn't Firefox available for Android? I'm sure I read somewhere, could be Gsmarena, that it is beta stage. That was a while after they announced it for Maemo/Meego. If I'm correct I intend to give it a test drive when I get my Android phone.

LOL Dups, who would've thought a few years ago that the Symbian Sith Lords would be so diminished in the outer Esato realms and other phone forum haunts, due to this Android Rebellion?
Darth Etaab has sensed a major disturbance in the Symbian Force around these parts, LOL.
@ Hobbster:
She's absolutely loving all the swipe-scrolling, intuitive interface and all the impressive features crammed into this tiny device (and sh!t yes, it is tiny!). She's starting to check out other Android apps now too.
I would advise your boss to try a demo one to see if she's OK with something so tiny (taking into account whatever requirements she may have), but my wife manages fine with it and is very happy with her li'l Mini.
I showed here how to save the battery useage significantly (it was drained in under a day with all the other connections and updates activated) and it's now hugely better, as obviously expected, thanks to these handy hints n' tips (some are bleedin' obvious but it makes a good check-list in the name of saving battery power):

Oh yeah, another thing with the purchase of the X10 Mini.
After the initial long charge, all OK until she needed to charge the phone again the next day due to initially having all the syncs and updates, etc running. She plugged it into the wall charger again and it wouldn't charge at all. Tried rebooting to see if it would help, no luck either. I disconnect the plug-in USB cord from the wall charger and plug it into her Mac to see if it will charge from the computer and see if the fault is with the cable or just the wall charger part, or the phone itself. Hey presto, it charges, which meant that the wall charger part was now faulty/ playing up.
Not impressed, I go back to Carphone Warehouse with receipt and charger and phone in hand. The guy was very helpful and after he saw that it didn't charge from the wall charger now, he went round to the back and brought a brand new, sealed charger and cable. We plugged it in to check and it works. He also lets me keep the original cable, so now she's got 2 USB cables and a working wall charger. great service from CPW by letting us have the original working USB cable and still get another new one too, with the charger.
The original  wall charger that came in the box has the USB cable plug-in on the side, and is smaller. The other new, sealed wall charger that they gave me is bigger and the USB port for the cable is at the top on this charger. Wonder if there's been any other peeps with issues with the first type of charger, but whatever, we've scored something out of the hassle. All happy now.

Dups!
Yep, Firefox is available for Androids, its for those running 2.1 and above though so i havent tried it yet, as soon as i get 2.1 on my X10 i'll be sure to install it and let you know how it is.
Hobbs
Im not sure yet, i wish there was a more simple way to flash like changing product code like it was on Nokia smartphones, i may just wait, i'll see, have you done yours?
Wanqs
Dam, Samsung and Apple are killing it out there, did you see LG's results? Would hate to be a shareholder there at the moment.

@ Tsepz:
yeah I'm a bit surprised considering LG's strong surge that they had last year and earlier this year. having said that, there's been such a demand for smartphones, largely thanks to a thing called the iPhone 4.0 and some operating system very much en vogue, i.e. Android, and it's in this area (smartphones) that LG really seem to be lacking of late. OK, there's the Optimus and one or two other smartphones lately, but look at the rest of the specs and, as overall packages, they are fairly behind at the mo.

Makes complete sense, also they lost out at mid-end, with that BB8520 taking their Chatterbox customers, its a shame they didn't realise how big smartphones would be in 2010, they were ruling last year with the Cookie, Arena, Chatterbox etc... They could have so easily taken out Samsung with a direct Galaxy-S rival.

You debranded to UK fw the 1st time you rooted remember? You should get the update in the next 48hours then lol. Im waiting, ive got the Nordic FW sitting in my PC ,but i need Java, and that just doesnt want to install so im like f*#@ it lol, i'll wait, going to give Voda a call tomorrow and ask when they will put up the 2.1 fw, think i'll also try contact SE SA if i can get their customer serivices number.
