Accordin to this http://blog.se-nse.net/new-updates-for-x10/, Sony is building up ground and not standing. The updates are not only specific for the big X10 they include also the mini/pro and x8. The other link included in this article http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=16755 shows the registration of firmwares at PTCRB (don't have a clue about this one, but s.m.th to do with certificates). Looking at that it comes that Sony has already prepared even other firmwares after the launch of the popular 2.1.1.A.0.6. Are these firmwares updates to security measures considering that the famous hacker geohot got his hands on the Ericsson mobiles?
Heres how I read that (just in case you dont realise who I am, Im one of the admins for that site):
We all know about the DT update for X10 and the ANT+ for Mini, Mini Pro and X8.
I debranded my X10 Mini Pro ages ago, and decided yesterday to update to the latest firmware, knowing that SE would soon release that update for generic UK "soon", or it was out already according to a source I read yesterday.
Quite relieved, I actually got the 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. Admittidly, I havent even checked to see if there is an update straight after that, but I would like to think thats either one of two things, or a combination of both:
1: Its the generic UK firmware update for DT/ANT+
2: Its newer firmware for elsewhere that has already got DT, and is more/less designed to slow your phone down so much that it forces you to buy a new phone (namely, their Xperia Arc or Xperia Play thats getting released soon)
Ok my hopes for 2.3 support vanished
Edit: Judging from this Sony Ericsson aka Sony, is the worst company ever providing support for android. I wish geohot can crack em all these loosers

Not entirely.
Have you actually bothered to search? I have found a few custom ROMs that use 2.3 in this forum alone.
And if you went to google, you would find news reports from pretty much everyone that reports on SE, that 2.1 is the furthest you would get officially with X10 range and X8 which has been old news for a while now

These all are listed on PTCRB for mini pro. So we will be getting updates.
@UP
Yeah, but these are still updates for 2.1...
We need some more from them, than just ''bug fixes'', or adding some useless crap like TRIAL apps/games... :/

My only complain is battery. But this issue is common to all android phones. If SE will fix the battery problem on their own for their own phones, that would be great, but I doubt it.

True, but... in order to continue working on firmwares, they have to have developers assigned to it, i.e. there is cost implied. So nobody would let the developers team work on a dead end solution with no outcome. So at least one firmware will be issued for sure. I am also curious about B letter.
i also read here (or somewhere) that they're ditching the 2.2 and will go directly to 2.3. possible release date? October of this year .. kind of a long wait if you ask me.
but then again, it might just be a rumor ..

That was a misquoted answer from SE Brasil. The rep meant the next device range and not X10 line. Was posted on xperiax10.net .

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!!!
http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/01/06/official-xperia-x10-family-will-not-receive-upgrade-to-froyo-or-beyond/
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!)
Great.
But think about it. It could be worse (they would even downgrade our phones if they could)

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..

There on 10000 threads about the update already...
The photos may be a fake, but update it's certainly true because it came from official sony ericsson blog, and support answer all question about it.
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.

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.
Hope developers can port ICS on ray,mini,and mini pro. Thanks.
U will get it when cyanogenmod 9 comes out coz se is lazyass and not much devs here...

mate they had to correct their article (which were based on one company rep's quote) because they got a statement from SE saying that they may upgrade to ICS MAYBE only if "it improves user experience" blah blah blah. This was in early september.
the statement given to engadget a few days ago is different from the corrected statement they gave these sites. it has no qualifying "as long as"; it simply says that it WILL upgrade the 2011 phones to the next android platform beyond 2.3.4. the question is what "next android platform" means. as i said, im guessing its not just 2.3.5.
not sure why that's so difficult to understand for you.

Maybe you should actually take a look at what Ice Cream offers. It will run so much better because it will support 2D acceleration.
I wouldn't worry about it either way. It won't be difficult for Sony to update to Ice cream, and even if they don't you will get a custom rom either way.
