Screen is capable more than 65k for sure. The limitation is with the Android v1.6 build. Only 2.0 and above can allow more colors. Milestone with v2.0 states 16m colors.

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

Ask brother Terry... he should know cause he's selling it. I think availability is pretty limited now.

I thought its around RM2699? Terry is already offering the phone though availability is zero now.

Great news indeed!

Yeah remember the Satio? Epic fail. During announcement, everyone was so excited. Damn... it took more than a year to release. Everyone went on with life back then. Yeah there were still a group of eager customers. But they were disappointed with that firmware issue that caused a recall from shelves.

You can check out the youtube videos. It is lag but it will improve over time.

Don't forget that Nokia is working on the Symbian^3 and then Symbian^4. Geesh... what happened with Symbian Foundation OS. Seeing the kind of developments happening. I think there's gonna be a lot of disappointment going because there's gonna be a lot of new releases. And we all know how Symbian is stuck on the device without any upgrades.

Now we get to see the same trend. Just like X1

But N900 can only work in landscape mode for most of the programs except the dialer.

It shouldn't because they took the Android 1.6 like a mold and remake it by adding their own interface. But I would worry about the Radio ROM more but its too premature to assume anything now.

True, not much second hand value either. Get HTC lar... confirm got a lot of support from xda-developers and custom ROM scene.

Yes, HD2 is a nice phone to have. The screen is really enormous. Terry sells it for RM20xx AP set and RM26xx for original. Pretty good price if you ask me.

Soon it will be HTC Desire hehehehe... I would go for Android. But iPhone still have the best games.

I think it is the price and Android v1.6. We don't know if updates will come considering SE's record over the past. But frankly speaking, HTC's Sense UI has an edge in terms of interface technology.

Not to mention that the Galaxy S has 5 times the GPU processing power over the Snapdragon. Gonna be great. But I never like Samsung's interface design. Very boxy. Even their Bada platform is not eye candy.

I think you encounter missed inputs because 1.6 does not support multi-touch for typing. So when you type fast, your fingers may hit more than one key at a time. Without multi-touch, you'll miss some keys in the typing.

I think the X10 does support multi-touch. After all it is a capacitive screen so the hardware is definitely capable. 2.1's requirement is multi-touch. We saw a lot of Android devices that started without that support but gained multi-touch when updated to 2.1 or customized when in 1.6.
