The Samsung Galaxy S looks like it will be out soon here in the UK, And its looking good infact i am tempted to sell my X10 hmmm talk me out of it ! lol.

Apparently the Samsung has a better:

Screen
Processor
Version of Android
Its Thinner
Has Inbuilt Memory & Card Slot
More Video Codecs
More Widgets etc

But the camera is not as good and theres no flash.

Hmmm Or Maybe i should stop looking at phones lol.

...but it's not as sexy as the X10. It looks like on of those chinese iphone copies. Too iphone looking for my taste :p

In fact it looks like the original Omnia from a few years back...

That is true it does look pretty tacky hmmm yuk yes lol ! Ok thats done it and put me off again ! Cheers ! lol :D

Maybe i should edit this to stop others thinking of changing to the Samsung lol.


"Apparently" the Samsung has a better:

Screen - Maybe but still not sure it will be as good as TFT in sunlight and its still less pixels.

Processor - Samsung's Processor is better for gaming than the snapdragon but android is not exactly the best for games anyway. and i doubt in general use you would notice much difference

Version of Android - 2.1 which the X10 will be getting anyway.

Its Thinner - But also taller and wider.

Has Inbuilt Memory & Card Slot - This is better but card is all i need for now.

More Video Codecs - Again better but what can you do? lol

More Widgets etc - We should get more widgets with 2.1

But the camera is not as good and theres no flash. - Say no more.
 
It also comes with guaranteed 0 communication/support/updates 'cause Samsung suck balls bigtime! Which is why my old Galaxy ended up Ebayed!
 
Don't forget the Galaxy S has 720p video recording... I'm tempted by it, but because of Samsung's history of making new phones instead of providing updates for old ones, I think I'll pass...

In Q4, whoopee. Good for people who'll still have the X10 then, utterly irrelevant to some of us...

LoL well i will still have it the more i have looked at the Samsung since writing this the more i am put off by its design which is like a big cheap Iphone copy.

Plus i know to some camera is not important but i prefer to keep the X10's camera and flash and wait for things like HD Video Recording and DLNA which i hope Sony take advantage of and give us a PS3 Remote Play App ! lol
 
But as a competitor, Nokia N8 is launching in couple of months, and that is stunning in all its features compared to X10 and its like manner series of other brands.
 
The Galaxy S is a good competitor (secondary camera).. :(

I like the Nokia N8. I always wanted a Nokia phone (and a Sony Ericsson) What I don't prefer on the Nokia N8 is that it doesn't run android, smaller screen and lower resolution, and it looks like the "Sidekick 2008" phone (without the keyboard). :D Nokia may have a world dominance, but in the USA it's not used much (..Moto).
