So, I've played around with both for a pretty long time and these are things I've narrowed down.

The Sony screen destroys the HTC screen, I put the same movie on both and played them at the same time on the same settings and the HTC was washed out, it stretched the video to much and the contrast was significantly lower. The Sony screen looks like I'm watching a show on my HD Samsung Plasma.

The Sony camera is much better than the HTC camera, it's less grainy, the lighting looks better and it just takes a clearer photo. 

The HTC runs very smoothly. I can move between apps and folders with no lag at all, but the Sony phone can get a little jittery sometimes when I'm using Mediascape or Timescape.

The Sony design looks better, but the HTC feels more solid.

The Sony phone comes with 9 gigs of memory (including internal), but the HTC only has 2.5 gigs (512 mb internal).

The interface on both seems pretty decent, but the HTC has a better overall feeling about it, but Sony has a better media interface.

I haven't gone online on them yet, but some reviews say that they are both pretty similar.

I also found this: http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/05/05/sony-ericsson-xperiaâ„¢-x10-to-get-uxp-upgrade-in-q4-2010/. The Sony phone is getting an update at the end of the month.

I'm leaning towards the Xperia right now, but can anyone point out any thing specific about the HTC that would make it better.

Just a point about that SE update, it might not come until December in some regions.... and you'll probably want to get yourself a larger SD card anyway

The main advantage of the Desire is that it runs a more up to date version of android, and the X10 will be updated to 2.1 soon, but the Desire is already at 2.2
