Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to Get Android 2.1 Eventually

Ads

Here we are with another Android 2.1 news. This time it is related to the overly awaited and almost out of demand Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson. The big question here is of course this - is Android 2.1 coming to the Sony Ericsson gadget. The answer is a three letter word - Yes.

Wait, before you start getting too excited, it is worth mentioning that the 2.1 version of Google's open source mobile OS won't be coming till the 2nd half of 2010 for the US folks. If that's the case, then they might be well off not rolling out the update in the first place. This just makes you wonder why in the world are the cell phone manufacturers delaying the update.

All we know is that Sony Ericsson believes that the mobile OS latest version isn't the most important thing. There are other significant things as well such as the custmoizations which they are currently pretty busy with.

I have a feeling that it would be better if the cell phone is not released. Who knows may be by the second half of the current year, next version of Android will be rolled out. Who knows? Just to let you know, Gizmodo received the device under focus for review purposes, which the gadget blog simply refused to do. More importantly, do you intend to purchase Xperia X10 when it rolls out?

    No doubting the X10 is a beautiful phone. My contract is up in May, and I am deciding between the X10 and the HTC Desire. I have a feeling the hardware on the X10 is just slightly superior, which would make it the best smartphone you can buy right now, but the 1.6 thing is a deal breaker for me right now. I could have been tempted if the noises from Sony-Ericsson made it sound like an update was imminent, but it's not, so I'll be getting a Desire now.

    My contract is up end of June. Unfortunately the X10 is dropping behind very quickly. The HTC Desire is easily a match for the X10 plus it's on Android 2.1 now and has an OLED display. X10 is dropping behind fast so right now I Desire the Desire.

    YES I WILL!!! I really dont care how long they took. im stuck on an iphone and hate it for not having any type of flash! I was going to get the HTC Pure but windows phone 7 is coming out and will turn all the rest of WinMo 6.5 and lower to a WinMo classic. also i dont like th zune style look on WinMo 7. So android is my future. I do feel however that androids dont need no UX or MotoBlur and stuff and just come out with the 2.1. make the minis with 1.6 and fancy company keep everyone together crap and make the big boys just an open source free for all. i hope i made sense to others haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
