I haven't heard anything "bad" about the Experia but you might want to see if your provider has a "community" web forum and see if any X10 users have posted experiences there. Often a very useful thing when considering some new hardware is to go to forums devoted to that product. Sometimes the manufacturers have them under the support section mainly because it saves them money as power users tend to be better than hired tech support folks. I'm really not that much of a hardware geek. In fact like most software developers hate dealing with hardware. That said I'm in the market for replacing my video editing machine which also doubles as development machine for some embedded systems. Partly because a 3.2 Ghz P4 just doesn't cut it anymore and also because my computer insurance just ran out and the new policies they are issuing seem to be by each system you have and only good for the first 3 years. The old policy was blanket and even covered my PDAs and cellphones regardless of age.
