Which Android Phone

[sedaine]

Any ideas on which Android phone to get Early 2010. I was looking at Xperia X10 cause it had a few things I liked.

Likes: (Bolded major likes and Dislikes)

1) 4.0 inch display (480 x 854)
2) 1 Ghz processor
3) 1 GB internal Memory (384MB RAM)
4) 1500 mAh battery
5) 8.1 megapixel camera
6) Rachael UX UI


Dislikes:

1) 1.6 Android
2) Display 65K colors (blame Android 1.6)
3) Rachael UI tightly integrated with 1.6 Android - hard to upgrade!
4) Display not AMOLED

Is there any other Android phone out there that's worth keeping an eye on. I've seen the HTC Bravo - wish it had the bigger battery and Sony Camera.

No ideas? Thought someone would have an inside track. What's the latest on iPhone 4g?

XPERIA X10 is a good phone but it has 1 major problem and its that it uses android 1.6.
What's your budget and also do you only want Android devices ?

 

[sedaine]

I want the best hardware I can get. Don't want ANY WinMob or Symbian. Otherwise I'd be happy with anything out there that's very good.

HTC NEXUS One is another good choice too but it has a 5MP camera.
Also HTC Bravo will be out too and it has a 5MP camera but with a rumored HD Video recording.
So i think its better to wait for X10 to come out and check a review first and we can judge better

 

[sedaine]

I guess it looks like like it's a 2 horse race.

X10 is great, and even if it does have 1.6, you can throw 2.0 on there I cant wait for it on tmobile!

 

[Maziar]

You can ? Is it officially announced that you can use 2.0 on it ?

 

[JDV28]

Not officialy announced, but with a rooted android phone, near anything is possible. ..i though i saw something on rooting it, a guide already...
also, its been installed on g1 and mytouch. slow and unstable, but running.

X10 is great. No other phone beats it!

 

[Maziar]

No,it depends on the usage of the user.
Although X10 is a great phone it has its cons too,one of the bad things about it is 65k display for example

That's Android 1.6 limitation. Once you upgrade to 2.0+ then you'll get 16M colors.

Are you sure ? can you post a link to it ?

About how to upgrade Andriod 1.6 to 2.0 on the X10

 

[Maziar]

Right^
But i found the answer and SE said that they will let users to upgrade to 2.1 but still no multi-touch(because of hardware problems)
