Guys, getting really really confused right now between the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the Sony Ericsson Xperia x10.

Just found out that the x10 is getting the Gingerbread update after all, and that is a VERY big news. Further more, the price difference of the SGA and an AP set of the x10 is only around 100 ringgit.

So guys, opinions? :/

Though I'm very curious with the locked bootloader of the x10..

x10 DOES NOT HAVE A LOCKED BOOTLOADER. THERE ARE CUSTOM ROMS FOR IT. If you don't mind the idea of not getting any future updates, get the Acer Liquid Metal. Has superior build quality compared to the x10, more ram, smaller more vibrant screen, but a suckier camera.

It does have a locked bootloader. Works are being done to crack it. ROMS can be flashed, but I think the kernel can't be flashed.

I don't have an X10, but I'll try to list some of the pros and cons.
The AP set costs around 1k to 1.1k, while the original set is about 1.3k (but I could be wrong).

Pros:
480 x 854 pixels screen (a bargain for a phone at this price range)
4 inches screen
1 GHz Scorpion processor
Awesome camera
HD video recording
Pretty okay internal memory size of 1 GB storage (but I heard there's only about 400mb free for the user)
Promised upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread (!!!)

Cons:
65k colours screen (not too sure if the colour limitation is noticeable to the average person)
Doesn't have the best multi touch on the market ("dual touch" to be specific, suffers from the axis inversion issue)
Locked bootloader (limitation on development by developers)

Don't take my word for it though, got all these information from all over the net. smile.gif

Performance wise, the SGS is the one to go with. The Super AMOLED screen is really impressive. The Galaxy SL was released just so the AMOLED screens wouldn't run out for SGS 2. biggrin.gif

With 1.3k, it's possible to get an AP set of the 8gb SGS.

Hi,

Maybe my "torn between" phones are not so great...but I would love to know which phone has a better performance after being ROM hacked and rooted - HTC Wildfire or Samsung Galaxy Ace?

I am now getting a great bargain on a 2nd hand Wildfire whilst at the same time planning to buy a Galaxy Ace. But if Wildfire is more fun to hack (in terms of speed and performance aftermath) than Galaxy Ace, I would consider to get the Wildfire smile.gif

Thank you all smile.gif

Wildfire isn't worth the cash. The low resolution is a real pain in the backside as most apps are incompatible with it. What's more, the Galaxy Ace's Gingerbread upgrade has already been leaked.

The Galaxy Ace also has superior hardwares compared to the Wildfire. But HTC is known for producing phones with great build quality. biggrin.gif
