Hi,
After owning an iPhone for the last 15 months I fancied a change. I looked at the Nokia N900 and the Xperia X10. After reading a few reviews on the X10 and really liking the look and shape of the phone I chose this over the N900. I recieved the phone on Tuesday and although I have only had it 2 days I am a little frustrated with it.
I hate the way it hasnt got multi-touch (but I could live with that and no doubt get used to the fact it hasn't got it).
The keyboard is awful. It never seems to register that I'm pressing the letter 'A'. Half the texts I get back off people say one word......'WHAT?????'
The speaker volume is way to quiet. If there is any noise around me and I'm on a call I can never hear the other person.
Wifi sometimes picks up and sometimes doesn't (if I'm at home it sometimes doesn't connect to the wifi and leaves me on GPRS, this can even be when I'm sat right next to the router).
The camera quality just isn't all that good. My iPhone seems on par with it.
The look of the phone and design are superb. It feels great in my hand and fits nicely in my pocket but apart from that I'm struggling to see any good points about (not saying that there isn't any BTW).
I'm considering phoning O2 up today and just cancelling the whole thing and then going after the Nokia N900. Bulkier yes, but has the potential to be an awesome phone.
If there is anything I'm missing about the X10 that you may think I might have missed that will make me realise that this is an awesome phone then please feel free to comment.
I hope I haven't bored you all with my whinge.
Regards,
Sploits
