I personally find the Desires camera far better than the X10 was. The gallery is far better than the X10, 2.1 has many better features than 1.6, 2.2 is better still. SE\\\\\\'s time scape and media scape is awe full, slow hard to use, and the music player does not even support playlists. On the htc you can create playlists straight on the phone, the way it should be, music may not be as rich as on the X10, but as I do not use the music player that much, it is not an issue for me. The sense overlay is way better than anything SE could produce, and the main grip for me is, why oh why have SE taken soo long to get 2.1 on the phone, when everyone else has been on 2.1 for ages, and many others have gone onto 2.2. If SE want to be classed as a major player in android, they really need to get to grips with other manufactures. \\r\\n\\r\\n2.3 is already getting shipped to developers this week, and will not be long before the likes of the nexus one will have it on it. So music maybe be slightly better on the X10, but everything else is left way behind.\\r\\n\\r\\nThis may be my opinion, but as a long time user of SE equipment, the move away was one not taken lightly, but it has been a very good choice in my opinion.\\r\\n\\r\\nI am not in anyway condemning the X10, it has a very nice design, and is nice to use, but SE have not done themselves any favours with the device, and the very long wait users have had for the update. Some like me have jumped ship, and may never return.\\r\\n\\r\\nMaybe SE would have been better putting straight forward froyo on the phone like the nexus one, at least then users could add apps as they liked, rather than having to make do with time and media scape. \\r\\n\\r\\nTweets from SE saying they are leaders in the android market, are a complete joke, when manufactures like ZTE are knocking out handsets like the racer, with a more standard version of android for such a low price.\\n
