I checked out the HTC Legend, and I really liked it. Android 2.1 addresses a lot of issues I had with 1.6, and the new phone seems to be pretty snappy. I really like being able to use a Gmail application rather than a browser, and that in itself is nearly enough to make me switch phones.
The only issue is the screen is way too low res, as I am used to 800x480 now. I'll have to wait for more high res Android 2.1 phones to come out before I can consider switching.

Most of the carriers here do not support HSDPA 900 / 2100 for 3G. Otherwise, I would have considered the HTC Legend as well.

I'm going to hk in a week so I'm hoping to pick one up while I'm there.

Sadly, no one will thank you, becuz at the end of the day, things may be very awesome for google android, but it doesn't concern a majority of people. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I was hyped for the X10 until I learned about Timescape and Mediascape. Honestly not a big fan. In terms of customized Android UI, Sense UI is much better. That and shipping with 1.6, with a 2.1 update in September?  Everything else is on 2.1, except the older generation of Android handsets. Who made this retarded ass decision?

yeah, the more I look at the reviews the less I like the normal android sets.
HD2 is looking really nice and second is X10. Droid is looking really plain.
I'm hoping Rogers picks up HD2 though.

Lets all cross our fingers?
the unfortunate reality in Canada is that, the contracts and plans are so binding that its difficult to get anything new these days without waiting. Many customers know this and thus its the reason why Blackberries and iPhones sell because of that piece of mind.
Things like Android is going to take some time due to the very niche audience it carries. In most cases, the manufacturers themselves sell the hardware based on a custom UI. in this case, timescape/mediascape.

X1 is made in China. HTC's policy is all phones made in Taiwan. My friend told me u can easily tell if a phone is made by HTC or not by looking at "Made-in-Taiwan" because they are the last one....  | |

Saw it in person yesterday. So very nice. My brother got one on Friday and made me want one too.
Put it next to my n900, the LCD is beautiful and very visiable under sunlight.
Design is sleek. n900 is still easier on email and browser imo, but lack of application.
Costco has it for $50 ($100 instant gift card usable toward the phone and no mail in rebate required). But only for new customers. I want to sign up a new contract, but really don't need the data. My friend told me he signed up smart phones from Rogers before and pay $100 ECF on data part after a month. But the sales told me if I cancel data part within 6 months, I have to pay $250+ extra for the phone?
Anyone know?

^ TFT can be beautiful, but it sucks too much battery power.
if you compare x10 with samsung super amoLED...there's no comparison.

Just because Eclair is mt capable doesn’t mean that the X10 will become mt overnight. The discussion is that the phone doesn’t have the hardware to become mt capable. I’ve got one (well my wife has one, I get to use it). It’s a nice phone but you shouldn’t base your purchase decision on whether it’s mt or not. Right now it doesn’t have mt. Sony have said time and again that the hardware doesn’t support mt. I think it’s very unlikely that the manufacturer would say something like that if there was the possibility of it being mt capable. One thing to bear in mind is that it EATS battery. Like 10% per hour. From the horses mouth Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to get multi-touch and Android 2.1?!

Well even Windows phones with resistive screens are getting Multitouch, so it's not impossible that the X10 will get it. To me it's all a moot point anyway, basing your decision on the existence of multitouch is just stupid.

i don't think multitouch will make a break the x10... sure i wouldn't mind having multi touch.. but i know i'm not missing it ~ seriously.. if the iphone doesn't support multi touch.. are you not gonna buy it? probably not.. having multi touch is nice.. but if having multi touch is at the sacrifice of battery life.. then i prefer not having multi touch or have an option to disable it. i don't even recall the last time i used mt on the iphone other than playing sf4.. i use double tap on the broswer instead of pinch zooming.. coz it's much faster and it'll zoom in to fit the text fully on the window.. so if you are deciding whether or not if u want this phone because of multitouch.. try out the x10 first and then ask urself.. how often do u use multitouch..
