It’s not lost on anyone not living under a rock in the last 10 years that Google, for all of it’s successful offerings, lacks flair in their user interfaces. If reports that Google was intimately involved in every design aspect of the Verizon Droid are true, the functional yet uninspired interface of the Motorola device perpetuates the trend. If the Droid is what happens when Google UI engineers are involved, then the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is what happens when they are not.
Available Q1 2010 to select markets, the Xperia X10 looks fantastic and betters the Droid in a couple of areas while being developed on the [by-then outdated] Android 1.6 OS:
8.1 MP autofocus camera with LED flash
Blistering 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor
Wide assortment of pre-installed apps
