Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 getting Android 2.1 tomorrow, finally
It’s been a long wait for the X10 but is Eclair worth the wait? Some of its users might beg to differ but for now, they will just have to be satisfied with Android 2.1 while the others are a bit ahead of times running Froyo 2.2 and enjoying in-browser Flash 10.1. All the three versions of the X10 (the X10, X10 Mini, and X10 Mini Pro) will be getting the update and with it, an updated UI and a lot of other key improvements.
Apart from finally getting to play around with some popular 2.1 and above only apps, here are some more noticeable improvements :
Xperia X10:
• HD video recording with continuous auto-focus for high quality videos
• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android 2.1
• New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
• 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders
• Social phonebook which automatically syncs contact pictures from Facebook and shows when your friends are online
Xperia X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro:
• Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
• New backup and restore application with extended content back up
• Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
• Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1
The rollout will start from tomorrow evening European time, so keep your eyes peeled.
