Sony Ericsson is known worldwide for the quality of their hardware and design. The Xperia X10 is no different. It's elegant, has beautiful lines, and a classic beauty that only a total cell phone geek can appreciate.

The X10 also happens to be a top notch multimedia device, with a great camera for both stills and video, and delivers premium sound when presented with high quality music to play. If you're a multimedia aficionado as well as an Android fan, be sure to check out the Xperia X10.

Gingerbread update coming to O2-branded Xperia X10s in the next week

Alex Dobie 9 years ago 1

Owners of SIM-free Sony Ericsson Xperia X10s have been enjoying Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the past few months, but so far the upgrade has been absent from some branded handsets, including those bought through O2 UK. In a recent blog posting, O2's Head of Device-Customer Experience, Stuart Hibberd, let the network's customers know what's been holding things up. Specifically, it seems...

X10 AirPad mini-review

Jerry Hildenbrand 9 years ago 16

We don't normally worry about the really low-end Android tablets floating around out there, because they always seem to disappoint. We had to make an exception when we heard about the X10 AirPad, though. X10 is a company many of us know -- they've been around forever since 1978 and have sold many a gadget to many a gadget-lover. And since the AirPad checks in at under $200, we...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Gingerbread update now available

Alex Dobie 9 years ago 11

Unlikely as it may have seemed just a few months ago, the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update for Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 is now live, and can be obtained from the Sony Ericsson PC companion app, assuming you're rocking an unbranded X10. In addition to (nearly) the latest version of Android for smartphones, X10 owners will get SE's new "Facebook Inside Xperia" integration, Wifi and USB...

Xperia X10 Gingerbread update demoed, set for release in August

Phil Nickinson 9 years ago 8

Youtube link for mobile viewing If at any point over the past year you would have told me that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 would actually get an update to Gingerbread, I'd likely have laughed at you. And, in fact, I did throw a chuckle or two toward Alex Dobie when he first wrote in March that indeed the X10 was slated for an Android 2.3.3 update. Sony Ericcson's now given us a little...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will get Gingerbread update this summer

Alex Dobie 9 years ago 18

No, we're not talking about a custom ROM, and no, it's not April 1st yet, either. After announcing that the Xperia X10 would receive no updates beyond Eclair just a couple of months ago, Sony Ericsson has turned on its heel and now promises X10 owners a boost straight to Android 2.3.3 in late Q2 or early Q3.Sony Ericsson's Rikard Skogberg says SE has "listened to its consumers," and...

Moto Backflip, Xperia X10 reaching end-of-life soon on AT&T

Jerry Hildenbrand 10 years ago 7

A tipster just sent this one in, it's a list of devices reaching end-of-life soon on AT&T, and the Motorola Backflip and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 are on it. Looks like the Backflip's last day is Feb 2, and the X10 says goodbye on March 6. This doesn't mean that your phone will stop working, or that someone at AT&T won't be able to help you if you hit any technical snags, it...

Sony Ericsson Android slider leaks out, successor to the X10 Mini Pro?

Bla1ze 10 years ago 9

It appears another device has slipped out of the Sony Ericsson camp. The above Android 2.3 loaded slider has now turned up in China where it is rumored to be the successor to the X10 Mini Pro. Specs you say? How about a 1GHz chip with an Adreno 205 GPU that pushes 42.5fp via Neocore. All of which is powering a 3-inch 320 x 480 multitouch LCD. When put to the test Quadrant benchmarks at...

Android Market update not so welcome for Xperia X10 users

Jerry Hildenbrand 10 years ago 17

Life is rough for the Xperia X10. When released (overseas, anyway), it was top-of-the-line hardware, chained to an outdated version of Android, and we still have no idea if it supports multitouch. The custom overlay (TimeScape) is beautiful, but it really hampers performance. We all want to love it, but it's hard. It just got harder since Google has updated the Android Market. Seems...

O2's version of the Samsung Galaxy S getting Froyo on Nov. 15

Phil Nickinson 10 years ago 5

Hey, you, the guy on O2, with the SE X10 and a Galaxy S, too. Some updates are headed your way. The above screen grab is a bit cryptic, but here's the deal: European carrier O2's Sony Ericsson X10 line -- that'd be the X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro -- will be getting its Android 2.1 (Eclair) update starting Nov. 15. And that same day, O2's Galaxy S devices will be getting Android 2.2...

A peek at what's in the Xperia X10 update; and what's not [video]

Jerry Hildenbrand 10 years ago 8

Sony Ericsson has posted a short video of the desktop environment from the long awaited update to the Xperia X10, and it says a lot. Mostly what it says is -- "five months after its release [and nearly a year after its announcement], we still won't be providing Android 2.2". The extra row of homescreen icons (the X10 will support 20 icons per screen vs. the standard 16) is a nice...

Sony Ericsson gives update on status of X10 series updates (hint: delayed)

Jared DiPane 10 years ago 9

Many X10 users have been anxiously awaiting the OS update for their device so that they can finally be on Android 2.1. We have seen this update pushed back many times, then confirmed to still be on track, and with a recent update from Sony Ericsson we come to find out it has been delayed again. The new timeline is said to have an October rollout, instead of September (funny, since the...

Android 2.1 preview on the Xperia X10

Jerry Hildenbrand 10 years ago 3

The Android 2.1 update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (see our hands on with the AT&T version) should start rolling out soon, so it's high time that someone leaked a video of it in action. This is great news for everyone using the X10, as the awesome and capable hardware, (we expect great hardware from SE) has been languishing away on Android 1.6 for what seems like forever. ...
