is pinch zoom really a show stopper to buy this device?

No really... TBH, I am not going to cancel my pre-order.

Dual Touch would have been nice but its essential. Ill do a review once the device arrives, which should be later this week or early next so i am told.
 
Abit more postive news about the X10.

The X10 should be updated very shortly to Android 2.1

http://androidandme.com/2010/03/new...x10-could-receive-android-2-1-for-u-s-launch/

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was announced so long ago that most people have became bored of waiting and set their sites on newer, faster Android phones. We originally thought the X10 would land on AT&T or T-Mobile, but neither carrier has made any announcements on the device.

Now that newer Android phones have launched to market, the Xperia X10 looks to be aging with its outdated Android 1.6 firmware. Sony Ericsson was trying to tell us the version of Android didn’t really matter by pushing the customizations they added to the phone (like Mediascape and Timescape), but we know better.

Sony Ericsson finally wised up and said Android 2.1 would be coming to the X10, but it would not be available till the second half of the year after launch.

So where do we stand now? Review units are being passed around to some of the blogs, but no U.S. launch date is in site. Considering their current lineup, we still believe AT&T and T-Mobile would like to carry the high-end phone in their stores.

Gizmodo was one of those lucky sites to receive a demo unit and they decided not to review it.

The reason? Sony Ericsson confirmed the phone is coming in Q2 2010 (presumably to the U.S.) with a “muchly updated OS”. They did not specifically say which version of the firmware it will include, but Android 2.1 is the next logical step after 1.6.

The samsung i9000 galaxy looks fantastic, but its another 'when' phone. True about the Desire's looks...its a tough choice at the moment for a new phone!

I am due an upgrade but actually got 3 months left on my contract, might be worth me waiting.
 
I thought the Desire was ugly as well, watching it online etc, but in the hand, it's actually very very slender and a joy to hold. It feels brilliant and looks fantastic in the flesh.

...go check one out at a shop and you'll understand :)

Damnit going home via CPW as well now to see if they've got one ><

Still stuck as hell between X10 and Desire at the moment, trust Voda to be taking their time.

Vodafone should be shipping the x10 from Thursday and the Desire a week or so after.
 
After three phones from sony in a row i think i made the right choice to move away.
Waited and waited for this phone...finally gave up.

Its not a bad phone...at its price though you expect a premium product, not just another phone thats missing the mark.
