That's probably why the X10 price has gone down. In an online store here that I have bought most of my phones from, there is $50 CAD decreased in the price of X10 and a difference of $70 CAD from HTC Desire's price.
Ive been in this wholesale mobile phone buying scene for a while now, and I can tell you significant price drops DO happen from time to time. Usually its just small drops every week, or every couple days, but again, from time to time, prices may drop a lot.
Boils down to a number of things really, could just be the store not changing their prices for a little while, then all of a sudden dropping it quite a bit. OR, as the production of the x10 gets further along, costs MAY become cheaper. Similar to how the PS3 production costs dropped after a while.
The x10 price has dropped just like it has every week since release, only these past 1 or 2 weeks, the drops have been slightly larger.
The x10 will not be discontinued, and anyone who believes that is, im sorry to say, 'silly'. Its their flagship phone, they have poured so many resources into it, all the marketing, firmwares, updating to Android 2.x etc... Why would  bother to work on that if they were stopping production. As some one said above, just because a sales person said they sales were poor, does not mean anything really. Id say its currently one of the best selling phones on the market. Just because some mobile enthusiasts dont agree with it running 1.6 or that its only being updated to 2.1, they are only a small minority compared to the size of the whole market!
Guess we will find out when release their quarterly results in the coming weeks!

I totally agree with you. Looking at engadget and gizmodo, they don't really appreciate X10 what it really deserves. No doubt other mobile phones have been running on Android 2.1 but X10 is coming out with Android 2.1 too. And besides it does have the same specs like Droid, iPhone 4 and so on. There are two big minus points for X10 one is Multi-touch and Battery life. A) Multi-touch is used very well in browser besides that I don't know but honestly speaking I really don't think I need Multi-touch for browsing. B) Battery life of each and every phone right now sucks! I mean there is no vast difference. But I'm very sure by the end of this year or may be next year the mobile companies are definitely going to find a solution for the battery life.
X10 is a very good phone. I've been doing some research from past 1 week cause am planning to buy a new phone now and I was not really keen on X10, was about to go for iPhone 4 but overall I would still stick with SE X10. It's definitely a great phone with all the features that a High end smartphone must have and you know the best part? not many people really talk about this anywhere on blogs/forums or websites. But it's the most stylish phone currently in the market !!

I'm buying an X10 within the next few weeks, and so I was reading some reviews as if almost trying to hype myself up about it. As a long time Engadget reader I reluctantly gave their X10 review a go thinking it would be full of hate for the phone, as that's all any SE phone seems to receive from that side of the Atlantic, but I was wrong. Based on a pre-production model, Engadget actually praised the X10, only saying it had a few lag problems and a problem with text input (which I haven't heard about as a valid complaint anywhere recently).
I think one of the reasons the X10 doesn't get much appreciation now from those big US blogs is the fact that the Americans are obsessed with Android and having the latest version. Just reading those sites shows how much they encourage rooting the devices and installing the latest, but possibly unstable Android variants. They go on and on and on about how bad a phone is if it doesn't have the latest version, even though 1.6 has proven to be very good (if it wasn't, then why would people love Android so much?).
The other reason I can think of is that the US haven't yet got the X10 as far as I know. SE doesn't support the US very well (and that may not be SE's fault really), but how can the US really like the X10 if it doesn't have it to experience it?

Fair enough !! but you should read this review by Gizmodo. Here's the link - http://gizmodo.com/5407805/so[....]-on-why-arent-my-pants-on-fire
And yes Sony Ericsson has not yet released X10 in United States.

I don't see anything wrong with that Gizmodo review.
Let's not forget that reviewers review phones/products based on personal preferences/experiences and in relation to what the competition offers and in this case the Desire seems a little more attractive for what it offers in the way of a few advantages like the current version of the OS and the much hyped multitouch. Sure the X10 has the better camera and the bigger screen.
The problem with the lukewarm reception, aside from what Muhammad-Oli already pointed out, is that SE has had major issues with its handset and a lot of people got burned by the company thus making it hard to be completely trust SE. That they are most of the time slow in other important areas such as releasing phones, OS updates and/or dealing with consumer queries doesn't help much.
I think the X10 is the best they've come up with since the days of the P-series despite the phone's little shortcomings.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

It's only available in canada. No US carrier currently offers it, though there are US sellers on ebay who have imported from canada or are selling the x10i for T-Mobile USA use.

Can someone confirm this for me.
I've been told today that the regular X10 is now discontinued. Can anyone find out something to confirm if this is true or not as its not been out for long.
This came from someone I know who works for one of the networks. His comment was:-
"we're getting the Xperia X10 Mini pro as the X10 has been discontinued by Sony"
My reply was that I can't see the X10 being discontinued yet as its not been out for long and it seems a popular device. They then said
"trust me andy, it can be - no-one is buying them - granted its okay, but it doesnt sell as many as the htc, not least because its using an out of date version of android..."
I was looking to get either an X10 or X10 mini pro come August when my upgrade is due.

in UK, X10 is still at no.2 while Desire at no.3 | |
