The Nexus One and X10 are pretty similar (touchscreen slabs, high end specs). I think Google will do way better on price though assuming Sony Ericsson can't get the X10 subsidized here in the States which is what matters in mainstream in the US. If the Nexus One was confirmed to have AT&T 3G bands, the decision would be automatic for me.

Could I suggest that we discuss the New Google phone elsewhere as this is for the disucssion of the X10


Given the similarity of specs and timing, and the almost inevitable impact that even the thought of this phone is going to have on X10 sales, I think it's pretty relevant - personally.

I do agree to some level Boinng... However it should not be taken over as this is meant to be discussion about the X10

Thanks

Between the X10 and the other offerings, the UI of an X10 looks so much more appealing.

I for one does not think it is a good for Android that google starts making phones. Since they controll android they will always make sure their phones gets all the updates first and pretty much ruin it for other manufactures. Android will probably become more like IPhone and IphonOS but with some small specialized devices runing it. This spoils the whole idea of an open OS. Let's hope Nokia makes Maemo more open than Android.

I want an OS that is not controlled by one manufacturer. To bad Winmo sucks...
I will most likely get the X10 anyway because I need a new phone soon.

The X10 might not get the competition after all.

This might just be another rumor... The internet is after all full of them.

Ok, is this where mobile-review cease to exist?
He will be hailed as true oracle if he is right but unfortunately I think has said one or a few things too many.

I totally agree with you. If google launched their own phone ( not a new dev-phone ) I would seriously reconsider buying an Android phone. I would probably wait for the next generation of windows phone or even symbian instead.

The black X10 looks outstanding, I can't say this enough. I think UX/Nexus (Time/Mediascape) will be the differentiating feature from all other Android headsets. If SE can release this ontime at a competitive pricepoint, the X10 will be a banger.

@boinng

for some of your stature, on the forums anyway, id expect you to know better than to compare an OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED product to a RUMOURED device. Kudos to you!

And if mentioning it once was not enough, you have backed it up by mentioning it numerous times, talking of x10 being a complete failure compared to the so called 'google phone'.

Perhaps wait until the 'google phone' is official before you start any sort of comparisons hey... Make sense that way!


back on topic...
the ui is looking good. if we are looking at a feb release, id say production would need to have started shortly!

Que?! I have "stature" now? First I heard about it!

So by that token, nobody was talking about "Raphael" or comparing it to existing phones until a few weeks ago, right? No, I didn't think so. Look, we all know things can change, most of what we discuss here unless it's on the shop shelf already is a rumour, even the X10 could still change significantly before it hits the market, and no firm date for release has been set in stone yet. But what SE have done by announcing the X10 in detail so ahead of that release is not something that every manufacturer does - if Google/HTC are releasing this phone in January (and it really, really looks like they are) there's absolutely no reason to assume they'd have announced it yet - it may go "official" and release within a fortnight.

Here's a few things which aren't rumours, but cold hard facts:

1. The FCC have approved the "Nexus One".
2. An Android ROM labelled "Nexus One" has been leaked, containing references to the Snapdragon processor.
3. Google have applied for a trademark on "Nexus One" (and to keep that trademark they MUST use it commercially).
4. Google have confirmed their employees are testing "innovative hardware" from a partner (those same employees have tweeted many pics of the device and referred to it as the "Google Phone").
5. Although clearly HTC in origin, none of the devices carry any HTC branding.

Much of the detailed info came out over the weekend - some of it from Google themselves - after the claims from Eldar that it was all some elaborate Apple hoax, and leaving him looking more than a little silly TBH.

Something else to think about: the popular "safe" explanation for all this is that the Nexus One is just an elaborately branded (and publicised) "development handset" and that Google wouldn't produce their own hardware as it would damage their relationship with partners etc... so. Bearing in mind that the whole tech world is now talking about the Nexus One, and all Google's partners will be feeling (to some extent) the pinch from this, why have Google not taken any of the ample opportunities they've had to explain it's development nature? Why not a simple re-statement of their claim that they have no plans to release such a phone?
