Greetings Esato Members and Lurkers alike 
It's been a while for me to visit and login around here, but I have inquiries about the X10 please help an old member  , anyhow here are my inquiries:
Do you think it is worth it to buy me a Sony Ericsson X10? Using HTC Legend at the moment.
Because I am getting fed up with the HTC Legend Small screen size, having slow processor for a gamer (like me ) and sometimes the signal dies (maybe a "Death Grip" thing like iPhone 4 (which I hate anyways please don't mention it to me as an alternative  )>
Or should I buy/wait for a better Android device (Must have 4'+ screen size, 1ghz+ processor and of course as I mentioned before it must be an Android phone) so any Ideas fellow eastoies ?
Must also be a non-usa device and Unlocked (ie European release that's unlocked  ).
Cheers!

You will get many different opinions here..
With almost the same price as the Galaxy S, I will say that Samsung is the better choice.
Galaxy S is more up to date over X10 in hardware and software ( galaxy getting 2.2 while X10 getting 2.1 )

I'd say go for the X10. I was never a major gaming fan especialy in mobiles until i got my X10. Android games are realy good,especialy the high quality graphics accelerated ones and they look awesome on the 4inch display,its like having a PSP that can call,text,and take pics/vids lol

mate, buy galaxy s if 4'' + is must. This year I have used a Tattoo, Galaxy Spica, x10 Mini, X10,
htc,desire....
the X10 was by far the slowest and least enjoyable of them all.
Actually, my n97 was faster.

Only thing that's poor about the x10 is call volume

I'm also in a dilemma: Samsung i9000 Galaxy or  X10?
I personally like the design of X10 but specification-wise, samsung is ofcourse a better choice.
EDIT: Camera is better on X10

Camera is better on x10 yes but the Samsung which I now have has 2.1 Android with update soon. Is reliable fast has no issues whatsoever(unlike my x10) has HD video if that matters to you. Has multi touch for internet & images so I say overall it is better.

@Fredrix:
I never knew that Galaxy S is the same price of X10, Especially around here in Saudi Arabia, I must check the market around here then because it makes more sense that Galaxy S is much better in everything except one thing for me, the design which is a copycat of iPhone in the hardware and menu UI (imo!) , but I can't judge UNTIL I try it (I almost forgot 1 point which is I prefer TFT against AMOLED, why? because the weather here in the day is sunny most of the time and I had hard time on my HTC legend (which is almost blank, black screen under the daylight).
@Tsepz_GP:
Thanks for the replay I'll keep the idea of gaming in X10 in mind
@Jkovacz:
Slowness seems to be universal among SE phones, almost all the SE I've tried were slow but not horribly slow, so got used to it and experienced such a wonderful and pleasurable experience (Especially W900i)
@Bonovox:
Low call volume can be problematic, especially in crowded areas and the outdoor in general, I'll look over this problem.
@buntoo:
Yeah v2.1 is a big advantage, also HD is important but not more important than high quality still-pictures shooting camera to me. Multitouch... you might call me weird but it annoyed me on my HTC Legend (because of the 3.2 small screen?) so it doesn't matter much to me.

after 1month of of critical thinking I decided to go for the x10 as an upgrade of my c905, for now i have no complaints, some people say that x10 is slow they are wrong it only shows that they don't have the x10, on the gaming dep well its enough for me to put my psp at home for now tee hee!.. |

No trust me the Super AMOLED screen is probably the best I have ever seen in direct sunlight. Believe me its truly the most viewable screen in sunlight and daylight. Super AMOLED is very much improved over the older type. And also I did have an x10 loved it at first until I had problems with 2 of them running the latest update too. Its not as speedy as the Galaxy I am sorry to say.

@SEC905: You know since you used SE phone right before X10 I believe you didn't notice the differences in the speed, because from all the SE phones I tried it wasn't that big of a problem. Seems to be an awesome device for gaming due to the large screen then since you almost left your PSP to dust when hangingout hehe.
@Bonovox: from the regular AMOLED experience I had too much hassle to use the phone under direct sunlight. But never checked on the SUPER version of it so from your experience then I'll take your words.
@SKIBBE: I KNOW I KNOW SAME TO ME IT'S THE BEST SE MODEL I USED, ALONG WITH P900i. IT'S WAY TOO COOL AND UNIQUE AND FEELS SO "JAPANESE KEITAI" HEHE! MIGHT GET IT BACK FROM MY BRO WHO STOLE IT FROM ME.
@skblakee: hmm I was reading the review of Galaxy S and it seems to be an awesome device MINOR the iPhone-like look in hardware and the main menu UI, because I don't want my friends to go like: oh is that the new iPhone etc,

Now I am convinced with buying the X10i, the question that asks itself is: which color? (I have sweaty hands so I thought the black is better due to the rubbery back) the white looks unique and beautiful though.
