Of course, the other route for us WinMo users is to fake out enough hardware/warranty replacements that they just decide "screw it, we'll send you a Tilt2".
Since from what I've seen, that's what most Sprint users are doing, after all, with their Touch Pros, and coercing Sprint to give them TP2s.

I, for one, am extremely glad to see that there's a high possibility that the X10 might be AT&T's first Android phone.

Then again, I was personally waiting for something a little more rugged to come to T-Mo to replace my G1. Or just wait til my contract is up and go back to Verizon. ;-)

will not work.
edit, if it is the 1700 band i am not sure, i know most of the world uses a 2100 that is not compatible with t-mobiles 3g,

Firstly, no one buys nice phones off-contract, so this is not even an issue. And as I said, if you do buy a fancy phone off-contract, they're all going to cost this much.
Want to know how much an iPhone costs unlocked? The 32 GB 3GS costs US$811.
Don't believe me? Here: [store.apple.com]
Just type in "6288 HKD in USD" in Google and they'll give you a conversion.

Btw, I doubt the plastic exterior will make the final cut for the device.

I assume that prices are about the same in Sweden, so it's really not that shocking.

Edit: but of course, that all also depends on whether or not I can get it at a very reduced price on contract through T-Mobile.

But then again wifi IS an issue and it'd be nice to be on 24-7.
HMMMMM....Ok I guess it's fine to hold onto 2 media devices. MY BAD.

I've always kept both for just that reason. I keep a few songs on my phone but not really for dedicated listening, just to have them for here or there. There are people that go with just the phone but I don't think thats the only reasoning behind this phone. Its got more going then just the media.

I still think Sony needs a subsidized phone on a carrier in the US more then they thought.
There have been a number of SE phones that I find very appealing. I'm just not going to plunk down half a grand on one to get an unlocked version. Yes, its a great way to go if you can but the reality of the US market is not only that most people can't, they don't. Part of it could just be consumer confusion. Part of it is just the way the system works here. You need a new phone you go to a (carrier specific) phone store. Its starting to change a bit more and the fact that Best Buy got in on the multiple carriers and recently the unlocked is nice but its still not there.

It has an 8 megapixel camera.. Built in. My blackberry 8900 has a 3.2 and takes amazing pictures, so having an 8 mp camera built into a phone is worth 1-150 alone.
And the processor? 1ghz on a PHONE?
Again, my 8900 has a 512mhz, so this phone has double the clock speed.
And what about the display resolution?
The 8900 displays 480x360px, The x10 displays 800x480
The 8900 costs 4-500 dollars.
So, I think 5-600 is more than fair.

I'm not alone.

When I look back at all the gadgets I used, surprizingly it's the ones I was more "meh" about that ended up being used the most...

I imagine they'll do something like Nokia is doing with the n900. Offer up an unlocked one for the people that really want to go that way but really put a push out for a carrier subsidized phone.

Turns out I was right, I'm hoping this one doesn't turn out the same.
I think its more of a SE thing than a carrier thing. Even the original Xperia was a pretty lusted over phone (though it was flawed). I'm sure any carrier would have loved to have it. I don't know how aggressively they ever shopped around the other 'X' phones or the Idou but I get the impression they didn't. It the same with how Nokia has largely viewed the US market. Its take it or leave it not lets reach an agreement. I think both have now realized they have a lot to gain by playing the carrier game a little better.
