The best selling phone in India is the 1200. How does it make a difference? Not everyone can afford a Porsche. Theres a reason why low level phones exist.

Obviously the 1200 is better than the X10 then. Aside from the jokes and sarcasm I didn't put that ranking list there, you did. I'm willing to bet that you just random found a link that had Xperia on the top and just posted it there for hoots.

Anyways, seems like the x10 is outselling the Desire everywhere. .People who wanted the Desire are ending up with the x10.

Since we are moving to demographics lets get facts right. Desire hasn't launched on a global scale yet. For your benefit lets assume it did. Please point me to actual statistical data on customers who have bought X10 after wanting the Desire. Oh wait there is none? Even if there is by your logic and let me quote it for your reference.

I'm going to say that its a pity that everyone who wanted a X10 thought it was so crappy they moved on with a 1200 .Yeah we obviously know its wrong, but it is no different from what you said.

Here's what I've understand from your posts.
You cant back up anything with actual information. I can nitpick about 4-5 things which are totally baseless other than the fact that you like the phone and have an opinion which is totally biased.

This is what happens when you deal in absolutes. Personally I admire the tenacity you show in defending your purchase , but in the end of the day its the users preference which counts.

Anyways..enough crap.

Amen to that.

I've never have had Edge or GPRS issues on my Magic so far . However I use Airtel and Idea. Are you sure the APN's are set up right?

[red dragon]

even im using Vodafone...
issues with EDGE..

my phone show that i am on HUTCH network instead of Vodafone..
also i got a service message that that Vodafone Live! is activated when i messaged Vodafone to activate it..

hell i dont even have GPRS..
nothing..

also in mobile network type it shows GPRS instead of EDGE..
it was EDGE a week ago..

damn..
what should i do??

im living in Mumbai..

At least in Kolkata vodafone is doing something wrong,they have this vodafone live which is basically wap service,and another faster EDGE service(probably called vodafone internet or something)I had a nokia 5800 in which I could use opera with vodafone live,now I have HD2 which cannot use opera with vodafone live,IE works though.Anyways this is off topic for this thread.

ok..
and how is this off-topic??

even DreamCatcher has issues with Vodafone Live EGDE...
im sure its an issue with android rather then Vodafone...

bcz EDGE on Vodafone seems to work on virtually every other handset..

any workaround this??

[dreamcatcher]

You think changing sims would be a good idea? I dont want to miss out on the android market or anything else for that matter. I have to literally go to a friends place to work on his wireless connection. Well, I asked Vodafone about it.They haven't heart of Android...ooh well. So guys, any ideas? Its really very frustrating. And yea. Am using Vodafone kolkata.Never had a problem with other phones. Worked seamlessly.

Btw,Uk Stats. Desire was released before the X10 in the UK.

Oh wait. Where is the desire. Peekaboo.

You *still* can't come up with even half a decent link after so many days.. Shame on you..

[dreamcatcher]

Well. I have.Its the official sales brochure for the Uk market. Picture taken and uploaded by a cwp representative.Anyways. Believe me or not, its your convenience.

[kalpik]

And I've come up with far better links.. Take this for example: http://is.gd/bhoRH

[amitabhishek]

Couldn't quite understand what you guys meant but Vodafone live is for browsing HTTP websites only i.e. with Vodafone live you can only access WAP/HTML sites. (only few ports like 80, 443 are open). Vodafone mobile connect (VMC) is full internet almost all ports can be accessed and hence any application will work.

On Android phones internet will work only if you have VMC activated on your number. Trying to surf full internet with Vodafone Live is futile!

I have four words for you, "Who gives a sh|t ? " I'm getting tired of this nonsense anyway. If you think X10 is great, good for you. Move on.

[dreamcatcher]

@kalpik- Sorry, i cant find the sales figure. Oh heck. It isnt there. XD

@amitabhishek- I tried vodafone connect too. But with VDC, the browser wont work, leave alone the apps. And its pretty expensive too. They dont have better offers in postpaid. Which operator has the best speeds on a relatively cheaper plan?BSNL 3g is fine, but isn't very receptive in close areas.

[kalpik]

@kalpik- Sorry, i cant find the sales figure. Oh heck. It isnt there. XD

Dude.. DECIDE if you're arguing on sales or you're arguing on the device itself :/ I can list at least a couple of hundred phones that are doing better in terms of sales..

Now you're just plain acting stupid and trying to troll on this thread..

[dreamcatcher]

@kalpik- The original argument was about the phone generating better ales. Desire shall obviously win over the reviewers owing to its newer version of android. Thats not an issue. Fact is, the X10 is outselling the desire and not 5:1 the other way around as many have claimed.

Newaz, are there any games for Android that is worth mentioning? Anyone used Handcent Sms? Pretty neat sms aplication.

[sachitgul]

i saw some awesome links about the SE Xperia X10 floating about here...

And Yes DreamCatcher I Agree with you The X10 is a way way better phone than any HTC or Motorola Phone..


Here is an awesome comparison video between the X10,Desire and The Milestone..

and yes the X10 wins this one very easily...

[dreamcatcher]

Hey guys. Is google goggles applicable in India? I mean shall ti serve a purpose here? Dunno if i should give it a try.

[jain_pranav]

[amitabhishek]

AHHHH I envy you HTC guys, how many firmwares do you need,developers spare some time & firmware for us poor souls

Anyways

Any suggestions on using phone as modem to connect to PC.

Tried PDA net, but I want something with full functionality,
Wifi tether if possible???

This is the only reason I like the Magic mainly. There is an abundance of custom ROMS . Although that might end in the near future.

[amitabhishek]

i Music was one of the killer app. when I purchased my Magic but since then this application has been removed from the market. Probably because of Amazon's application in the market. I have managed to locate the apk file and uploaded it get it here! Don't miss it guys!

[sriharsha_madineni]

Android 2.2 with additional free RAM and Flash??

[sav_more]

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about joining the Android bandwagon and getting the HTC LEGEND from mumbai this weekend...Does any one know the cost in mumbai?
1. Is this phone good? because i really liked the HERO!
Reviews show its a bit on the expensive side for the hardware that it offers...what do you guys think?
2. Can i get LEGEND cheaper form any other state (other than Maharashtra)
3. Will Desire be worth the wait.(time wise and cash wise .I cant go beyond 30K)

[kalpik]

1. It is an awesome phone for the price! Don't know why you're saying its expensive? Hero was 30k, Legend is 23-24k! And Legend has better hardware than Hero!
2. Probably cheaper in Chennai? Not sure though.. Not much difference though.. Not worth buying from there..
3. Desire won't be beyond 30k.. As for time, HTC says they will launch it by end of May.. Definitely worth the wait! Almost twice as fast as Legend! I'm waiting for Desire myself

[amitabhishek]

Saw Legend at the local retailer's place; MRP Rs. 23,500/- but I got blownaway when I saw Nexus One for Rs. 29,500. Awesome phone! Baap of Legend! Now that Cynogen and Desire ROM has been ported for Nexus One; I am really tempted to go for N1. He has agreed to pay Rs. 10K for my Magic making this deal very affordable .

[sav_more]

OK ..so ,Legend is a great phone ,available now and i can get my greedy hands on it in just 2 days!!
Desire which is better is a whole month away!!
I really like the Legend's aluminum frame but have heard some reviewers say that it will scratch easily..
Also a few more questions about Legend, i have read that over time the UI will get a bit slow(as in lagging) over a period of time.All of you guys can clear that for me since you have been using android for quiet some time.

I don't like Desire's design..but its internals are absolutely "desirable".And is it true that desire will have 720p video recording capabilities?
