Disadvantage- If you use backup and restore to save your contacts and apps, it is no longer compatible with the new 2.3, So save it to a compatible one or on your comp.

Advantage - Flash.

The advantages I have found so far is Flash 10.3, Netflix, Tethering, Apps to SD, And a few apps that had to have 2.2 and up to work, I have to say they have made a lot of improvements and it gives the X10 a nice new phone feeling.

In addition, you can make the x10 a Wifi Hotspot as well.

Ya but i think before I use to do it with Bluetooth which I found slow if I tried to say connect to my older Archos media tablet, but now I can use wifi instead.

With regard to the Back up and Restore, you can download it as an App and it works perfectly once you have restored. All you do is once you have updated, download Astro, search for com.android.vending-3.1.3.apk on the SE web site (this is the Back Up App). Download this app to your PC and transfer it to your SD card and open as normal, hey presto all your restore settings are there.

Used it on my son's phone, perfect!

Hope this helps.

Yes you still have to download Flash 10.3 from the market then you can watch them
