Sony Ericsson dates X10 series Android 2.1 update – SUNDAY!

Hooray! Sony Ericsson has today revealed its plans to get the entire X10 range of Android phones up to date, with the European update to the range’s current 1.6 OS scheduled to start this Sunday. In the evening. Literally hours before the end-of-October. Well done.

Apparently the launch will start in Ericsson’s home Nordic region first, with other European regions getting it from Monday – and the update gradually spreading throughout November. Here’s the company’s quick refresh of what’s going to change:

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

We’re calling Sarah Jones to let her know of the good news:
