As a current iphone user , can some of the ex iphone users give me some feed back 1. Email use : Better than iPhone 2. internet browsing : different but pleasant, takes a few days to get used to only missing the multitouch for zooming 3. Calendar and office applications : on par 4. navigations software : different, not as fast but good enough when you get the hang of it 5. lock screen info display ( my iphone jailbroken and i use have lockinfo- Best app ever on any phone ) : I used to have lockinfo as well. Nothing like it here, the lockscreen is as clean as can get (time and lock slide). I am assuming you could get apps to fix that. I downloaded a few of the apps I had on the Iphone (Chomps/BiteSMS, live weather, ... ) and even if I did miss lockinfo a little I must say that the X10 is not a let down compare to Iphone.

If you like to tinker with your phone and customize it then Android is perfect. Only real let down might be on the games/apps side, the Iphone definitely wins on that one (especially on the games).

Having played extensively with my dad's iPhone 3G2, I find there's little difference in the percieved speed of the two phones, though the display on the X10 is far better. As for video playing, try bTunes. It's an Android iPhone media player ripoff, that works quite well.
