Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 –Not Stuck with 1.6

Tuesday February 09, 2010

Here’s good news for people who have been looking forward to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, the device will be getting a software update to the Android OS.

Originally, the X10 was going to come shipped with the Google Android 1.6 Donut operating system. With the Nexus One already out and the Bravo launching alongside the X10, the high end Sony Ericsson phone would end up having the lowest version operating system among its competitors. Fortunately it has already been confirmed that the X10 will get an Android update pretty soon. As to when the update will be released and what version will be available still remains to be seen. Optimally, the update for version 2.1 will come out right before the device launches on March.

The XPERIA X10 was originally meant to be released sometime last year before it was pushed to January and now, end of Q1. While it is never a good sign to see a phone delayed so much, this is pretty much par for the course when it comes to SE phones. Anyway, the update is great news because this means that the phone’s features will be fully utilized by both the Android OS and the Timescape and Mediascape UI.
