Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 vs HTC Desire Z pics
Here are some pics comparing the Sony Ericsson X10 and the HTC Desire Z. The boxes are the same slide out style. The finish on the X10 box is slightly nicer but the box of the Desire Z is more solid. As I mentioned in my previous post, the X10 is lighter and thinner but just a tad larger in surface area. The Desire Z feels way more solid and well built in the hand because of the metal. The X10 has the advantage of the larger screen but I found the Desire Z's super LCD just brighter, sharper and more colorful. It also has better visibility in direct sunlight. I found the Desire Z's screen also more responsive. The X10 also has problems with the unresponsiveness at the edge of the screen. In terms of performance the Desire blows the X10 away...not only in benchmarks but also in normal usage such as apps, gales and just flicking through the UI. HTC Sense is just gorgeous and was more useful and fluid than Sony Ericsson's UXP. The camera of the X10 is slightly better than the Desire Z. The keyboard makes the Desire Z thicker and heaver but having a hardware keyboard makes typing long emails a breeze plus I use it as a controller for my beloved emulators. In conclusion, I am happy that I am switching over from Sony Ericsson to HTC. Perhaps Sony Ericsson's future flagship Android phones will lure me back. As much as I love Sony Ericsson...the Desire Z is just simply better.
HTC Desire Z unboxing pics
Here are some unboxing pics of my new HTC Desire Z. The last phone that I bought was the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i over half a year ago. The X10i was kinda boring since the bootloader is still uncracked to this day. Although, excellent progress has been made by the talented folks over at XDA. The X10 has gained the ability to have a custom recovery and customs roms. Anyways, back to the Desire Z. The box is the usual HTC standard like the HTC Hero box which I had about a year ago. The phone came with the usual standard stuff. My first impression of the phone coming from an X10 was that is feels heavier and thicker but it feels way more solid and well built than the X10. The metal feels great in the hand as compared to the shiny cheap looking plastic of the X10 (not that the X10 is a bad looking phone). The Desire Z just feels totally different. I like the optical trackpad and the battery cover the opens via a sswitch. Now on to the keyboard...the keyboard is awesome...definitely way better than the Milestone which I had 9 months ago. I like how the screen almost sits flush with the keyboard thanks to the Z hinge design. The hinge is kinda loose so if you hold it in certain positions the two halves will seperate...however it doesn't interfere with my normal usuage of the phone. The screen is bright colorful, sharp and responsive. I am definitely impressed by the Desire Z.

Android in space! Google send Nexus S 60,000ft above Earth - and it still works
It's official - there are little green men in space. Disappointingly the aliens are not from another planet but were launched from Earth by Google to test the outer limits of their new Nexus S phone.
The tiny Android astronauts were strapped to seven payloads, which each contained one of the new mobiles. They were carried into Earth's outer atmosphere using weather balloons.

(Captain) Zi Wang from Google Android said: 'We wanted an opportunity to collect some interesting data about the sensors in Nexus S - GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer.'
The phones were running a variety of apps. Google Maps for Mobile 5.0 (with ohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifffline map data) which allowed the team what was directly below the balloon, Google Sky Map to try and identify the real stars in the backdrop and Latitude to report location when the phones had a data connection.
Amazingly the Nexus S could withstand temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees celsius, while the GPS kept track of the phone up to 60,000ft and started working again on the balloon's descent.
The balloons reached heights of over 100,000ft and travelled at up to 139mph at the top of their flight. They were equipped with still and video cameras and footage published on Wednesday shows the moment when the helium-filled balloons popped and the plucky Android astronauts plummeted back to Earth.
