Software compatibility is not an issue with Eclair and higher OS. Since 2.0, Android, apps should be compatible to any screen resolution.

There is a firmware update of SE X10 to 1.0.16....It wont upgrade the Android...
Just some performance fixes and More Ram is free now...keyboard is also fixed

That was a month ago. 4 updates have already made their way.
The latest update updates it to 1.0.31.

If you want proper screen resolution at an affordable price you have to look at the X8. Should be available same time as the i5800.

Still, as far as resolution and pixels density goes it’s low for a 3.2” screen. We’re not saying it’s not usable – it is. But pixelisation is especially visible in text and that doesn’t do the software justice – it looks like text in a compressed, downscaled image rather than the sharp look of natively rendered text.

this is from Gsmarena.com....I think its bad for I5800

Sorry dreamcatcher I didnt know there were soo many updates already

yes. it's pathetic to see these manufacturers going for cheap quality displays to make consumers go for high end overpriced android phones. Some have too low resolution and some have peanut sized RAM. I have a feeling that Samsung Wave or Nokia X6 or C6 will be lot better buy than any of these sub 20k android phones. The X6's package is awesome. Free turn-by-turn voice navigation, car charge and mounting kit, quality headset, 16gig internal memory.

It's better to have an older UI with a great overall package than to have a great UI with sucky package that negate the UI's brilliance.

 

[sujoyp]

Yaah X6 as a package is better then wildfire and i5800 in sub 15k range

Samsung Wave is great device but still there is very little activity going on for Bada OS...donno if it will remain like a feature phone...

Howz Moto Backflip?

actually, I would rather pick this phone (X8) and get 2.1 update in a month instead of picking Samsung i5800 or HTC Wildfire and live with low quality display till end of time (unless SE places X8 above 18k)

X8 comes with same resolution that HTC Legend comes with.

 

[kalpik]

^^ What makes you so sure that SE will update the phone in a month?

coz if they don't, they are doomed

 

[kalpik]

Arn't they already? For me, (at least) the entire X range is doomed..

Hi all,
Got a bit confused after wildfire is launched.It is a boasting phone with gr8 features but whackin n disappointing display.Now if HTC is goin guns with phones above 25K , IT got to add some fire to the phones in 15K-20K segment.Hope someone sheds some light on good android phones with good display within 20K .Samsung Galaxy has become history now in market coz im not findin it any where.Pointers regd above wud be appreciated
