My wife is thinking of getting herself a smartphone of some sort. The two models she is most interested in are the Sony Ericsson X10 and the iPhone 4. I don’t really know much about these devices, so I figured I would ask the dopers: Which of these is the best (or are there other alternatives)? What are the major advantages/disadvantages of each model? Is Android up to speed with iOS? Anything that is relevant to know would be of help, really. Thanks.

Never mind. She just told me that she has ordered an X8.

Can a mod please close this?
