Here’s a little video showing an updated Sony Ericsson X10. The enormous Android phone launched with a heavily skinned version of Android 1.6 at its core and, as we all know, the entire X10 range will be updated to the full 2.1 experience very soon.
This was spotted running at the recent IFA tech show in Berlin. It’s in German, which adds to the atmosphere. Who wants to edit on some funny subtitles?
Nobody mention the 2.2. We suspect that’s a bit of a sore point with Sony Ericsson, internally speaking. Link via DeviceMag.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ September 10, 2010Damn, I’m really happy with 2.2 on my Hero, I can’t imagine ever buying a phone again without anything but Stock Android, unless it’s fully rooted and good ROMs are available perhaps.
I understand it takes time to update the interface for Sony/HTC, but it’s depressing to know you’re always lagging behind and support stops someday…

/ September 10, 2010There’s a fair few semi-serious rumours here in Japan that 2.2 will show up early next year. SO has stated a three year timeframe for support, and we’re after all only six months into that first year so a 2.2 update seems more than likely, and a future 2.3 one should not be too farfetched either.
