Finally, Sony Ericsson has announced to release Google Android 2.1 Eclair update for its Xperia X10 family handsets. Tomorrow on Sunday, the Android 2.1 update would start rolling out phase wise for Xperia X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro. But still there s no guarantee that all Xperia X10 family handset owners will get the update immediately. Only the non-branded Xperia X10 series handsets will get notification for Android 2.1 update.
Last month we reported about Sony Ericsson fixing last minute issues in the Xperia X10 series range through Android 2.1 update. Now since the update is due on Sunday, not all Xperia X10 series handsets owners would receive update notifications.
Richard Skogberg at Sony Ericsson Product blog noted that generic kits for the Nordic countries would be pushed out tomorrow evening European time. More kits would be rolled out on Monday and then the roll out has been spread out for next month - Nov.
The key changes coming with Android 2.1 update are:
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
