Xperia X10's Android 2.1 update unchanged, still on track for September

Phil Nickinson News Monday, 30 August 2010

We'd like to say we're excited at the news that Sony Ericsson on Twitter confirmed "that the upgrade to Android 2.1 [for the Xperia X10] is due for release before the end of September this year."

OK, it's not that we're not excited, it's just that it's not new.  It was way back in June that SE&...

As a refresher, the phone sports a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 4-inch TVT LCD screen, 8 GB of on-board memory paired with a 2 GB microSD card, and an 8-megapixel camera.

Sony's bringing something 'smarter' tomorrow, looks like the X10

Phil Nickinson News Sunday, 08 August 2010

So Sony Style has this clock a countin' down, and judging from the reflection (and the smattering of "X10" from the HTML on the page), we could well be looking at the Xperia X10. When last we saw the X10, it was April, it was running Android 1.6,  with no upgrade in sight (and the last official word we've had

Xperia X10 gets an update, still waiting on Android 2.1

Phil Nickinson News Wednesday, 30 June 2010

The good news: An update is rolling out the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 as we speak. The bad news: Nope, it's still stuck on Android 1.6. Here's what you are getting, though:

This update focuses on improving the general performance, speed and responsiveness of Xperia X10. For example, there are speed improvements in messaging tasks and camera UI. In addition we add a free back up and restore application so you’...

Casey Chan News Wednesday, 19 May 2010

Surprise! The Xperia X10 Mini is really small. How small? Take a look at that unboxing video above, the accessories of the X10 Mini is bigger than the X10 Mini itself! Even though we saw the X10 Mini at MWC and

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 not getting Android 2.1 update until Q4 2010

Phil Nickinson News Wednesday, 05 May 2010

We're not quite sure of any fun way to spin it: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 -- languishing with Android 1.6 and a clumsy first-generation of the Timescape and Mediascape interface -- is now slated to get a major software overhaul ... in the fourth quarter of this year.

According to the Sony Ericsson Product Blog, the major improvements will be:

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 makes cameo in Sean Kingston-Justin Bieber video

Phil Nickinson News Tuesday, 04 May 2010

We'll preface this by saying we don't have any idea what's going on in the Sean Kingston-Justin Bieber super-smash-top 40-drop-it-like-it's-hot song "Eenie Meenie" other than there are a lot of 12-year-olds at a party complaining about "shorties" who are wasting their time. Oh, and there's a quick cameo by the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and its...

Xperia X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro gets priced, coming May/June to Rogers ?

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 27 April 2010

We don't know if we're being foolish in believing that Sony Ericsson can hit its target launch date, but the latest report hovering around is that the Xperia X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro will hit Rogers in May or June. That time frame fits with the original summer timeline we heard previously and considering we felt...

Wait ... the Xperia X10 won't get multitouch after all?

Casey Chan News Wednesday, 21 April 2010

This is getting confusing. First, the Xperia X10 wasn't going to get multitouch because the hardware wasn't capable. Then we heard that the Xperia X10 would receive multitouch in a software update. And now it's back to square one -- no multitouch, ever, on the...

Phil Nickinson News Monday, 19 April 2010

Phil Nickinson News Friday, 16 April 2010

We're taking this one with a pretty big grain of salt, but word around the water cooler is that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 -- currently languishing with Android 1.6 -- will get its upgrade to Android 2.1 in September. And on top of that, it'll miraculously get multitouch, too, never mind the report that it's

Xperia X10 officially lands on Rogers

Jared DiPane News Saturday, 10 April 2010

The long anticipated Xperia X10 looks like it has finally landed a home for itself on the Rogers network. This device, which we've got in-house (and had our hands on not only once, but twice now) doesn't seem to get more appealing the more you look at it. The Xperia X10 sadly will was released running Android 1.6, but have no fear, it is supposedly going to be joining...

Xperia X10 hardware hands-on

Phil Nickinson News, Featured Saturday, 17 April 2010

Sony Ericsson smartphones -- Android or otherwise -- generally come down to two things: above-average hardware hobbled by overreaching, underpowered software. And that trend continues with the Xperia X10. (See our previous hands-on with the X10.)

OK, everybody. Here it is. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro, the tiniest darn Android phone you've ever seen, let alone one with a horizontal keyboard.

Sony Announces Xperia X10 Mini

Dieter Bohn News Sunday, 14 February 2010

We're just back from Sony Ericsson's press conference where they announced that they're filling out their lineup with five phones to be released before the first half of 2010 runs out. The Xperia X10 you've already heard of. Sony Ericsson said they wanted to give that experience, but in a smaller form factor. We can't say that big SE achieved the exact same user experience, but they definitely nailed the smaller form factor.

Sony Ericsson Answers Questions About the Xperia X10

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is coming, SE promises us that. But we still don't know the final official details like the date it's coming, the price it'll be, and what US carrier it'll land on (if one at all).

Oh, hello again little one. The Sony Ericsson 'Robyn' has popped it's pretty tiny face once again, this time lining up next to the iPhone. The iPhone looks like a giant, doesn't it? We're still not sure if this a joke or not because we just don't know how well the Android (or any smartphone) experience can translate on the small screen. Who the heck would use this?

Is T-Mobile Getting the HTC Passion & Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 ?

Casey Chan News Monday, 07 December 2009

 

Things are all cyclical, aren't they? First, T-Mobile was the early adopter and only supporter of Android, then Sprint stole the shine by releasing the HTC Hero, then Verizon took them all to town with the release and ad onslaught of the Motorola DROID. Now there's rumors flying around that point both the HTC Passion and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, two highly anticipated Android phones, to T-Mobile. If all true, once again, T-Mobile will be the carrier for Android devices.
