I have a Desire, my wife has an X10. We've both had them for 4 weeks now. I've used mine more so am more used to it but I did set up hers and showed her how to use it as she'd not had a smartphone before. Based on using both phones most days over this period my opinion is.....
X10 - screen is bigger but is only just noticeable. It's also no better to look at.
X10 - camera is better
X10 - can wake up with home button
These are the only areas I think the X10 is better
X10 - interface is awful, looks pretty but becomes a pain after a while (too much blue!) and is slow. This is with no syncing
X10 - battery life is poorer. Had to do some serious fiddling around on my wife's X10 to get it to last the working day (hardly any syncing etc used anyway!)
Desire - fells better in the hand, better shape, feels much smaller
Desire - 2.1 is a big deal. I've not had an Android phone before but it makes a difference - apps and abilities
Desire - multi-touch is also a big deal for me. Pinch zooming in the browser is something I could not be without
