I'm getting a new phone either tomorrow or Wednesday and I'm stuck between two choices: the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and the LG Phoenix. the reason it's these two phones is because these two are one of the few AT&T Androids that don't need data plans.

well I heard that the X8 is generally a better phone but it's stuck with Android 2.1. of course I could root it but I don't want to void my warranty. should I go with the X8 and root it or just stick with the Phoenix which has 2.2 and take the safe route?
