You can't upgrade the firmware like installing a new Linux distro. We will need to wait for SE to release a new ROM update or wait for some leaked ROMs. Then ROM cookers will work on it to port it over into X10 and give you custom ROM. That alone will depend on the popularity of the device. Nexus One is very popular so naturally there will a lot of custom ROMs targeted to it.

The Android scene is pretty fragmented now. We see so many version builds of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1) and yet not all of the devices have the latest build. Most of them are stuck at 1.6 which is a pity. Upgrades are slow and we don't know who will deliver them. The manufacturer or Google? Some phones are marked 'with Google' while some phones are customized like HTC Sense. Some have market, some don't have.

In the case of X10, most probably updates will come from SE. Judging by SE's responsiveness over the past, firmware update is gonna be slow. So yes, the X10 like any other Android phones can be upgrade. The question is when and whether there will be an update.

thanks for the info
and i totally agree with the delay that SE is famous for
haha

So anyone got their set already? Hopefully it doesn't dissapointment like Station when it launch...too many complaint.

I don't think so. We got a guy named Terry (recommended by the way) offering it for sale and it is original. But there is no stock yet. I think from March onwards a lot of new Android phones will be launched.

its better to wait for the fone to be launched bout a month before buying.
cos there might be problems here and there

Don't mind asking if u got HD2 and Nexus One already would u go for Bold 2 or X10?

i wouldn't
nexus one is a top fone

Nope... I would keep the Nexus One. But I do understand that once you already experienced something (no matter how high end it is), your heart goes out to try something different. If you're attracted to the 'real time' messaging of BB... don't miss out the Digi promotion now at Midvalley.

The X10 basically the same as Nexus One but running on an older Android build and slightly lower RAM. Unless you're attracted to the build quality, I don't see why you should go this phone. Keep the N1 in this case. Or you can sell to me :-)

I just going to sell off my Samsung HD to get either Bold 2 or X10 but the price factor that I need to think over...temptation to get SE.

aruja you're still using i8910 right ?? i'm also letting go pixon12 to get x10 ....

IMHO, the graphic is NICE. But bare in mind the pixel density is somewhat low compare to Milestone and Nexus1. And X10 only have 65k COLOR.

65k colour is really bad, hopefully when updating the firmware frm v1.6 to v2 it wil change

Seem SE is lauching the model to late and price is damn expensive compared the other with higher version..now got double mind to get X10. I have been getting anything new from SE..like window then symbian and now android?

Hahaha, I'm not a pro. I'm just helping out the Android community. I used to active on Android forums last year when I had the Dream/G1 but I had to let it go because Android was very new and a lot of features still undeveloped. Now things are a different story now. Its getting matured. Now I wished the application store receive the same attention.

Come to think of it, 65k isn't really bad unless you're viewing multi-tone of a single color. On everywhere else, you won't notice the difference. But I have to admit 16m colors sounds nice on paper and it does give you a good feeling about it. I remember my time with the HTC Touch Diamond. 2.8" high resolution VGA screen and only 65k (limited by Windows Mobile). Things were bright and contrasty. No problems there.

Get Milestone. I found a custom ROM for it that gives you all the goodies from Nexus One. It doesn't need rooting and it bypasses the locked bootloader. Its not really a ROM per say... just a pack of core apps and tweaks that install on top of the standard 2.0.1. Had it for a day now and things are very smooth and I like how my Milestone look right now.

Well, the Demo Girl confirmed to René that the X10 will indeed be released with Android 2.0 on it!

is it true ??

R u sure MAH? Waiting 2moro and hope Midland got stock in hand and now dreaming of it....

Guys have you seen the youtube videos? Graphics seem choppy to me. But x10 has the best blue background. The standard Android black is getting monotonous.

I learned that most Android phones or maybe I should say the OS doesn't take advantage of graphics acceleration for it UI. Thats why we see choppiness and stuttering.

hmm... today got stock ?? sure ?? so fast ?

Really ar? I thought end of the month only release?
