Having only android 1.6 may be because of google, true. perhaps google and moto have an exclusivity agreement that allows moto to release the first devices with android 2.0.
Again, this is because the DROID is a google experience device. Customized versions of Android would only get the update later on. Notice that the DEXT doesn't have Android 2.0 yet because it's running motoBLUR. |

@synn
Do we have to get into it again? Fact is it was SE themselves who promised that their first Android phone would be with Android 2 and that is the whole issue for me.
And what the hell is Q1 2010? They are doing the same thing as with the X1/Satio by not committing themselves which means there is still quite a bit of time to go. They are doing what they do best, ie, keep the interest alive until someone like HTC drops a better phone in December or January.
Sad and disappointing.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Yes, I'd like to see a direct quote of an SE employee on the matter too.
Dups: It's only a matter of time before Android 1.6 devices get the 2.0 update. If HTC, Samsung or Motorola get the Eclair update for their CUSTOMIZED handsets BEFORE SE, you have a case. Till then, nothing much.
Q1 2010is EXACTLY what it sounds like. Q1 2010. I'd rather have a bug free, fast handset in my hand in february (Which is the timeframe that some insiders have unofficially confirmed) than a half-baked one in November. Your mileage may vary.

also a thing that really matters to me for touch screen devices is the on scree keyboard... hope the x10 has a good one!
i haven't come across a single touch screen phone that has a good keyboard...one that you can use for fast and frequent sms/email typing ....

@>500 and synn
Peter Ang, the vice president of SE's marketing actually said that. I'll look for the link and post later as I'm driving to work now.

Dups! I'll take your word for it. 
That notwithstanding, there is NOTHING that says that the X10 won't get the Eclair update. (HTC confirmed the update for the Hero, which has far inferior hardware) Hell, we aren't even sure if the retail version would still be shipped with Android 1.6 or get updated to 2.0 before shipping date. I'd say that they need to be given the benefit of the doubt. |

Same here!
What I really love is this:
1. The XPERIA™ X10 supports GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS HSPA 900/1700/2100 and UMTS HSPA 850/1900/2100
^ About TIME that its a world release! By the time this is released in Q1 of 2010 it'll have some competition; however also note that Android 2.0 will be available and SE internal engineers (software) will be hard at work making this work.
2. Intelligence capabilities, integrated into Mediascape and Timescape™, can automatically recognise connections between contacts, content and media. By recommending alternative ways to communicate or guiding to new media experiences, consumers can discover more in a truly open way. For example:
• Pressing the new infinity "button guides" you through the connected world, aggregating all your interactions with
one person in one view
• Intelligent face recognition features recognize up to five faces in any picture, automatically connecting them to
your social phonebook and all other related stuff communication with that person.
That Intelligence is going to be HUGE! If you like metadata searching on Mac OS X in Spotlight ... its possible this could be it on a mobile device.
Now ... for full release of Sony's media over wireless for those of us outside of the European & Asian nations.

Here is an article where SE mentions Android 2.0
I am still very keen on this phone, the final decision has more to do with price and first impressions from the UI than anything else. I'm also keen to see what other UX devices are coming as 8.1Mp is unnecessary for me (but nice to have).

Indeed! Tuché my friend.
Looks like Threaded messaging is a LOT cleaner on this device - which I still cannot stand (the concept). I'm VERY curious how managing Contacts [Phone #'s, Email Address, Physical addresses, phone extensions - office lines, etc are going to be kept organized with all the cloud mashups happening. Also with editing/deleting specific field data. Add to this the MS Exchange Server and multiple Exchange accounts.
PS: Has anyone found the official battery for this??
