Hi,
Anyone with 02 UK had the update as yet? 02 customer services are being unhelpful and I don't think they are aware of the update. Perhaps it is me just being impatient!
thanks

This is what i see better:
-It doesn't swipe all the phone data(thanks to OTA)
-Pin screen with UX skin
-Transitions between screens (from desktop to setup, mediascape or timescape) softer, instead of appearing suddently it does a soft fade
-Faster and better unlock button
-Faster timescape navigation, no lag at all
-Themes added to timescape
-New buttons in mediascape
-Faster multimedia galleries in mediascape
-Faster navigation between photos and images, with Slide animation added
-Some new visual effects added on mediascape,Ie. when turning up the volume.
-Better face recognition, face added doesn't seem to dissapear, now instead of showing "unknown" it shows a [+]
-Same speaker and headphone volume as in .16 when playing music or videos.
-Faster Camera loading and interface.
-Faster navigation in widgets/shorcuts/etc menu (Pressing the screen for a few seconds)
-Overall, faster response in everything.
-Backup and restore added.
-Better touch screen.
-Problems fixed when using the standar keyboard, no more As, Qs or Ps not showing when touching them
-It seems that there is a screen resolution upgrade, i mean, everything seems a bit sharper.
Can't talk about in call volume or battery.
Good list - yes mass improvement all round. In fact, it's making the whole x10 experience all the better. I always judge the performance of a handset on how it handles its core OS and i didn't like how the home screen options box popped up (long press for widgets, shortcuts etc). Now, instant - the single most important update possible. Unless there are further performance improvements to be had, i suspect the attention is handed over to enhancements. Reminds me of the early P990 days......
And yes, battery has vastly improved. All that malarky on conditioning a new battery makes very little difference when there is an inherent problem with consumption from the start.
With regards to OTA or SEUS updates, i chose to do a clean install - in my book that's akin to a fresh install of Windows or display drivers.
Besides, this seems to me that this is a cleanup of SE's original take on the Android programming rather than improvements from Google

Fellow Estato-ians 
I'm new to this forum, but I've been following this thread and the Mini/Mini Pro threads for about 6-7 months now, and I’ve been a massive fan of S.E. (Ericsson) products ever since I got the stunning T39 (the first phone to ever have B/tooth built-in) way back when... I stuck with it until they released the next big one the K750i in which I had to get next, and until this day I still use them both from time to time. I simply can't afford to go and buy each of the latest top phones that  release every 9-12months (although tempted with the W995 & Satio), as I am on Pay&Go (don't like being tied to Contracts, especially now the contracts are getting longer).
My method is to always wait for the next big developments in then wait a little longer to rid the teething problems common in these advances then buy (get) the next release. I'm long overdue, so now as you can guess I am now desperate to get my next high-end phone.
My situation is, do I go for the X10i now, knowing that it’s possibly getting an upgrade to this: Please Happen!!!
(Sorry can't get the above Link to work....) Goto: (www)(sefanboy)(.com) then scroll half way down the page: (4th July 2010), (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10-Will get Froyo-2-2-Update)
Or wait a little longer and see what will supersede the X10 next year with 's next top Android release (with all the X10’s teething problems ironed out and possibly with the inclusion of Multi-Touch, Amoled technology and Wi-Fi 802.11/n ).
If I go with the latter option, I’m gonna get an X10 mini/mini pro for now as they are at a very good price right now (£170> pay&go, £180-£190 Sim Free) as I need to have my Sony Ericsson fix!!!
What are everyone's views on this situation? And is there anyone else thinking along the same lines? (Buy Now, or Buy Later?)

Just got an update via Update Service, this new firmware is awesome! I personally think call volume has increased but could be my imagination...I'm on generic global, but i think the phone was using indonesian firmware as it installed something called VivaNews which I uninstalled straight away...Timescape and Mediascape is much faster now, backup app is a welcome app and overall usability has improved I think...not to mention the fact the camera no longer forgets faces...I'm still really loving this phone after so many weeks of use....battery life has never been a problem for me, as long as you turn off the location by wireless networks in settings...Android 2.1 on the X10 along with HD recording and DLNA would make it the best phone ever... |

Word on the web, regarding Android 3.0, is that the 512mb ram is not a requirement but a recommendation.

X10, of course! No need to ask. 
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

No really, when the update to 2.1 will be, or maybe 2.2, and what will bring it on new ?
