The sony x10 xperia trumps the iphone 4 by far.the only things iphone 4 wins at is with the retina display,2 grams extra on the weight,and glassy look.if you really look at it,those are little things.the xperia has a freakin large 4 inch screen,8.1 mp camera,1Ghz snapdragon processor,and the also the android 2.1 open source software…which trumps the IOS 4 any day.so guys the only one major thing iphone wins at is the 16G/32G INTERNAL MEMORY but it doesnt have a card slot which xperia has and can be expandable up to 32G.So my opinion would be to choose what best suits you.both phones are great and powerful but xperia takes the crown.

I got a Xperia x10i this August and I admit it could compete at par with the Iphone.

I upgraded from a SE C902 and Nokia E66 .

I would like that SE address the ff short-comings:

1. provide standard phone pad interface for those that prefer using the T9 dictionary mode ( because they upgraded from a mobile phone w/o qwerty)

2. SE's Pc companion program DOESNT SYNC contacts from MS Outlook office; the transferring and syncing of contacts and calendar is tedious to do 1 by 1. Google sync can be used to sync via online but you have to upload your all your contacts and calendars online; this is a privacy issue that many wont like to do.

3. the window for drafting sms is too small compared to the screen real estate. Make the font bigger. My eyes get tired

4. emulate the panning and zooming from the Iphone and Ipad; Its very cool and intuitive ( wish list)

5. WHY DIDNT SONY INSTALL SWYPE FOR TEXT INPUT ? IT WOULD'VE RESOLVED MY PROBLEMS WITH THE TYPING INTERFACE. THESE DROID PHONES USE IT AND ITS A SERIOUS OMISSION! http://www.swypeinc.com/
PLS SONY RESOLVE THIS SOON OR ELSE I WILL SELL MY XPERIA AND GET A LOWER-END PHONE!

I haven't come across any of this reported "sluggishness" with the X10 after using it for approximately 2 weeks – the upgrade to 2.X won't hurt tho

Samsung are claiming the chip used in the Galaxy S is the fastest cortex-a8 processor around at the moment. It also has a super amoled screen.

From the reviews I have read of the X10 so far, it doesn't seem to live up to the hype, people who have compared it to the Nexus one/HTC Desire say its a big sluggish at times, hopefully that will change with an update to 2.1 as it has the same processor so no reason for it to be slower apart from software.

Sarah,

I was surprised you don't trust Sony as in my experience they always have quality products but with the Sony premium price tag (like Apple).

The Galaxy S has the same large 4 inch screen & is .6 ounces lighter along with having the ability to allow multitouch.

The X10 has a slightly higher crisper resolution, higher MP camera & the 1GHz SnapDargon processor is slightly better in many respects than the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor of the Galaxy S.

Kevin,

Absolutely played with Timescape which I will be going over in depth at http://www.mobilemartin.com/news/ next week since this was just an initial cursory review on GAB.

Initial thoughts on Timescape is that its visual candy but not that useful – IMO.

There is completely unique to this phone called 'Timescape'. A life streaming platform built into the platform. Did you notice it at all?

I dont get the price tag as well, I guess I heard that the Samsung Galaxy S was going to be in the realm of 1000 price tag … I like the screen, but I dont know if I trust sony..
