Hey,

Ive managed to perswade 3 into cancelling my contract 7 months early and letting me upgrade my phone for free as my old one broke, so im getting an Xperia X10 deliverd tomorrow morning, i had the choice of a few high spec phones inc. Blackberry 9700, Nokia X6 and E72, Samsung Galaxy Portal and any of the X10 Series.

the main reason i went for the x10 is i wanted a HTC Desire, but he couldnt get one due to the popularity of them.

its due to be delieverd thursday after some confusion over delivery adress but im wondering if its worth using or putting on the bay to fund a HTC Desire. ive looked at the specs and the main difference is RAM.

so then would i greatly benefit from selling it and getting a HTC desire instead?

ive read a few reviews but most seem to be when the X10 was on 1.6 and HTC on 2.1 and with the AMOLED screen

Benefits of both phones i can see are:

HTC Desire.
Better Support?
More RAM
Sense UI (never used it but highly regarded as the best)

X10
Great Camera
Bigger Screen
Very Pretty (but it will be covered in a case - ive never had such an expensive phone)

Any advice is great

cheers

im not after any phone just for the 720p, the camera on the X10 is a big plus and im mainly after the phone as a web browser, twitter client, sat nat and playing a few games to pass time at work* (should have maybe put what i wanted from a phone in the OP)

the more ive looked into it the more im tempted to keep the X10, especially if 2.1 does as much as people are hoping it to do.

main things im looking at to download are the emulators and Zenonia (and as many free good apps as possible)

i dont know much about rooting yet other then it gives you more control over the phone

*i understand playing games at work may be a bad thing to most but my job really does allow it, although the manager frowns upon me playing on my psp its fine with playing on your phone (i think its incase a client comes in) so psx4driod + FF series should give me plenty to do.

cheers so far guys
 
i think im going to keep the X10 now, my only concern now is the lack of multitouch as i want it for gaming but im sure it will fine once im used to it.

ill maybe give it a week and if im still not happy go into a 3 store and maybe try talk them into a change.

edit: oh and cheers "andy", ive looked at some vids and timescape looks like somthing that would annoy me a lot, i use twitter but i dont have the need to know what someone says every min.

cheers for the input guys
