Has anyone notice on SE website for updates that the X10 gets it update I believe next week. Does that mean us X10 mini pro users get this update or will we have to wait longer to get the 2.1 update?

Knowing SE, 'Shortly after' would be one month later.. 'Slightly later' could be January..Or february.. Who knows, it could be forever...
It's my birthday (this month) so it better be now
Don't worry guys:

Guys, are we waiting for an announcement of for an update? If for an announcement, you all should be extra-happy, because we´ve got several already. If for an update, I will believe when I´ll see it available. So far it all is vaporware.
Was using an X10 mini pro for a couple of days....
Send it back to amazon last monday.
1.6 is horrible, 2.1 ist also out of date, no real connectivity to exchange (I have to use 2 excahnge accounts[work/private])
2.1 will solve this half a way.
The real satisfaction would came to me with froyo, but I believe we will this never seen on the mini's, what a shame, nice hardware, really lovely, lack of SE support.
Why they close the bootloader so hard ?
In this case, I will lok for another brand, maybe come back when 2.2 is available for this little fun making device.
most of us here like the mini/pro and we all know froyos not going to happen but what do you expect on such a small device, you want the latest software? I'm glad we're going to get 2.1 at least rather than sticking with 1.6, like the G1
i saw the information on the SE website, I don't want all the sony crap but due to price i was kind of stuck with the x10 mini pro. Once we crack the boot loader we shall be able to have fun. I guess we got to wait till next month to get our updates

The size is not the problem, SE's bootloader is it.
The processor is strong enough to drive 2.2.
Compared to my Hero the mini is fast as twice.
well then wait until the devs get to work whos knows what they can do...

The device is small, but dont let the size fool you. Underneath its compact body X10 mini/pro packs power punch..
The hardware of x10 mini/pro is very impressive, and it can very well handle Froyo.
And SE should really release 2.2 update since HTC has updated Wildfire with Froyo. So if Wildfire can run Froyo, X10 mini/pro can sprint it.
Thats exactly my point, don't just give up on the device (referring to derDominic when i say this) and say that it wont get froyo at all... its a powerful device i know were only on 1.6 atm but who knows after the 2.1 update we'll probs even get 2.2 from the devs...
WHen 2.2 will be available as AOSP, I can buy it again.
In the meanwhile, I play around with my hero, and btw, Saturday I will by a Desire in Black, I believe I will call her Desiré
And further, the X10 will not stick on my Clingo holder
i have started from t28 till then all my phone were from se its the first time and the last that se betray me...2.1?You just lost a customer that own more than 28 se devices if anyone think i m joking i can post my imeis...se you just dissapointed me...thats a shame of you... owner of x10 mini my last se mobile...HTC IM COMING FOR FROYO...
I remotely check my office PC and its PC Companion was recently updated to 2.01.058 just now. I'm having trouble with PC Companion here at home. Will fix this and hope this is it!!!

Noob here. Long time on XDA, beginner in Android.
I haven't looked much here nor read much because this came up just today and don't have much time (so please don't bash, rather help me, thank you).
I have been looking forward to switch to Android but have not found a good priced phone within my price range. Today I stumbled across an Xperia X10 and I don't want it to slip away as within my price range.
Did a few readings on specs and it comes with Android 1.6.
Is the Xperia X10 upgradable to 2.1 or 2.2 Froyo(soon)?
Thank you for you help.
Bteljuice
Devs are working on custom bootloader and seem to be making good progress, currently the answer is no, but soon hopefully custom roms will be out.
Also Sony Ericsson will be releasing 2.1 by September
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Thank you NightSide for the quick reply.
Yes, I did read that in Q4, Sony will release 2.1 for all X10 series. But I thought that has something to do with the UI sony has.
However, there's something I don't get. Most 1GHz Android devices in the market will have upgrades to 2.2 Froyo in OCT and NOV. Why won't X10 as well.
One more very important question that I missed. Does the X10 have Multitouch? or will it be enable when 2.1 is available? Pinch to zoom, rotate etc.. Very important for me
I hate to say it, but if you are indieed a long time on XDA, then you'd know to search first... All your questions have been debated in the forum a number of times...

When I opened the thread, I didnt have time to search. I NEEDED IMMEDIATE RESPONSE, which i got, thank you NightSide.
I do know NOW that X10 does not support multi touch, but had heard and read rumors that maybe on 2.1, x10 might get multitouch. And if not, a skilled member would find a way as already one of our members found a way for dual touch on a few phones (I know it works on TP2).
And it wouldn't have hurt my friend, to be nice and answer few of my questions. After all, we are here to help and I did say in my first post why I couldn't search.

Yup... you're right on that. Just rumors...
I thought it was confirmed that X10 would not be able to support DT or MT at all as it ain't just the s/w part but rather the h/w plays a role as well. And X10 don't have the h/w to do so... this is what I read... could be wrong.
Nonetheless, this is still a great phone for me. Sure there are 'flaws' here and there but nothing major. 'Upgraded' from X1... and not regretting it...
If you have a deal that fits your budget.... (if I were you) go get it...

Agreed, however you will find (if you search) that the answers to your questions are both yes and no... all you're really starting is another thread debating whether multitouch is or is not possible, and whether SE will go to 2.2 in the near future.
That aside, 2.1 is confirmed for Q4 - the rest, rumours, speculation, debate... but apart from that...

I remember reading from some dev thread that there indeed are drivers for multitouch in the kernel, but they are disabled or something. I'm pretty sure it will be investigated after we get custom roms etc.
Also note that the update to 2.1 is scheduled for Q3 not Q4, so it's coming earlier than you initially thought. There is however another update coming to enhance the SE UXP or whatever ie Timescape and Mediascape, that is scheduled for Q4 and is supposed to bring 720p video recording as well as media broadcasting on your TV...something like that.

MT/DT .. rumors.
We need custom roms to verify if it can be enabled by 3rd party but no custom roms yet.
Until then, if you don't want to be disappointed, consider that X10 doesn't have it.
2.1 was delayed it seems to Q4, i've read it on SE blog.
Some examples of user benefits that will be included in the UXP upgrade for Xperia™ X10 in Q4 2010 are:
- Upgrade to Android OS version 2.1
- HD video recording as per the same execution as Sony Ericsson Vivaz™
- Wireless home connectivity via DLNA
- Improvements to signature applications Timescape™ and Mediascape to make them even smarter and richer
The upgrade will be made available to consumers through the update service at www.sonyericsson.com

I also took the plunge on Andriod> I've been a long time HTC HD user using custom rom and it came to a point where i needed an upgrade. Choose x10 because of its hardware potential even though most reviews commented on laggy screen response, i need not worry because i know the excellent chefs here are more than capable of turning this phone into something special
Assuming Sony Ericsson's UK Twitterer can be trusted, that is
@KOR_9S We can only confirm that the upgrade to Android 2.1 is due for release before the end of September this year. We hope this helps.

Nice to see a bit of communication
will the mini/pro get live wallpaper support or only big brother?
Ahh finally let's bring it on
What will this actually bring that the 1.6 doesn't already? is it going to be something massive or just small updates through-out the software?

Time Out for you my friend!
Why even mention MT when you know it's likely to create a flaming war. I think mods should impose a 3 day ban on anyone using the words "mulit-touch" , "Flash" and "2.1/2.2 update" in an X10 forum.
2.1 update
I think this excitement and anticipation of the 2.1 update is going to followed by an almighty disappointing sinking feeling when we actually get it. Then a huge clamour for the 2.2 update will surely begin. It all really hangs in the balance as to what SE do with this update. If they compensate for 2.2 then users might be happy but I really doubt that 2.1 will suffice for most when all other new phones will spot 2.2(flash support, wifi tethering and all the rest). I think this anticipation has more to do with frustration with having 1.6 rather than optimism for 2.1. We wait to see how events unfold with interest.

Just wrote what I was thinking. I don't think SE will give us anything exceptional in 2.1 and all excitement will dampen and converted to frustration. Anyway, the phone is not bad - doing well with 1.6 - hope it will do better with 2.1.
The problem is with ever increasing mobile models with new features, OS, new hardwares teasing us and making our anticipation high from our existing device. Next we are frustrated when we see all new models with improved specs around us and go and buy another one when the old mobile is still perfect to do another one-two years. What a way to waste money!! In last one & half year I myself have bought three mobiles (total amounting to 65000.00 INR equivalent to 1200-130 USD which is quite high as per Indian standards) including this SE X10 mini and all the mobiles are infact perfectly OK and lying unused.
Don't stress guys. With any luck we'll have cyanogen mod 6 (a custom rom running 2.2) on our handsets shortly. This should negate the need to update the phone, even though most users won't be able to resist the temptation of a new rom running 2.1. Just remember, if you update you destroy the root and essentially ruin any chance of installing custom firmware. Personally I'll abstain from updating until we have a clearer picture of what XDA developers can achieve.

Well.. looks like SE are writing off the entire X10 line in favor of their new devices running 2.3 coming out later this year, so thats a big NO from sony ericsson about getting 2.2.. ever!
Lets hope the DEV's can cook something up..
COME ON SE RELEASE THE BOOT LOADER ALREADY!!!!!!!! (if your not gonna support us, let us support ourselves!)

If only they could.. oh wait.. the last update? loosing root.. I would call that a downgrade.. just wait for the next one.. it will magic our phones back to 1.6!
if people stopped playing with these make shift Roms and actually concentrated on hacking the bootloader we might actually get 2.2 or even 2.3.. seems everyone has given up tho and settled for backup style roms.. looks like SE has won
(even so.. I am looking forward to the new mini replacement with 1Ghz processor, X8 size screen and Gingerbread...mmm.. droooool.. call me a sucker for punishment)
that sucks, but i still love my x10 mini, this is my first android phone and thanks to xda, im getting brave enough to play with it...
xperia10.net is a untrustable source.
that was a good step from xperia10.net
they do the rumor, and wait for SE to official deny it or confirm it.
I would say few days to have official information on this
I do quote my own first line of this post...
On a positive note, it seems we will get ANT+ support on the X10 mini/pro and X8. Seems like the hardware is in place, they will now add the needed software support.
I for one like this more than an version bump for android. All applications I want to use run on 2.1 (this was not so when it was only at 1.6). And having ANT+ in the future is very nice. I already own a couple ANT+ devices as I sport a lot..

Since it is obvious that you are skeptic about release here you go :
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Which on mine language means that 2.3 will be available for X10 in late Q2, early Q3..
Anyway you can find it yourself on sony ericsson support page..
Just be patient, like I m..
"Rumors" from SE themselves:
Instead of leaving its X10 handsets on Android 2.1, Sony Ericsson has just announced it will upgrade the Xperia X10 to Gingerbread, deciding to confirm this after it “was able to deliver a good user experience” with the latest Google firmware.
Only unlocked handsets will definitely receive it, with carrier updates coming on a case by case basis.
When will the upgrade be available for me?
The roll-out is planned to start end Q2/early Q3 this year. Today, XperiaTM X10 is available in the market both in generic trade version and in versions customized for operators. Due to the resources available in this special project, we will focus on delivering trade versions of the software. Regarding possible customized operators kit we will have to get back with more information on this at a later stage. But we want to be very clear already at this stage on the fact that some of you may not get this upgrade.

This means that if you want to have you upgrade, you need to have the generic version or you can flash the generic version on your x10, this most likely would work in the same way.

Actually I'd go as far as to say they'll release the update first in scandinavian countries based on the fact that that's what they did when releasing the 2.1 update. Also Sony Ericsson HQ is located in Sweden so it would make sense.

+1. Didn't make a bit of sense.
I found this post in internet, and it looks real.
http://se-xperia.com/vodafone-au-to-test-2-3-on-x10-mini-pro-soon/
If this is real.... YUPIIIIII.... I'm skeptical, but hopeful...
It was real.. but now it's been updated on Vodafone Australia that this was an error
was too good to be true
They say it's due to hardware restrictions, but so far XDA members such as slade, d4 & owain have proven this to be wrong.
It could be that vodafone revealed something that SE did not want to be public just yet. SE have made a U-turns in their decision for the X10 to get 2.3 last week.
So don't feel let down just yet
yes i think same..they just said no updates for 2.1 android family but give update once arc is old.. as they want there old users to buy new models... same now they launch xperia mini & pro they want that we users buy that new models..& after few months they definitely give us update as this is easy for them to convert new mini handset software to our old models...
however if they dont provide updates we dont loose anything as we are already using gingerbeard va cutom rom... but i personaly feels that they provide us update as lg gives gingerbeard to optimus 1 & that had same hardware...

That thread and this one are effing bull****. There will NEVER be an official Gingerbread on this phone even if you waited a thousand years. Stick with custom ROMs or buy a better phone.
The only way you could get some cash for this phone is if you tore it apart and sold the parts piece by piece.
