I do but from the speculated specs it's not gonna have US 3G bands. I hope the rumors are wrong. Plus, I can imagine how much it's gonna cost. I'm not paying anywhere near a $1000...maximum maybe around $700.

i did hear this a while ago but have not seen it confirmed, when i ask by twitter on the xperia blog i was told it was up to vodaphone to announce it but on there website it just says november.
just got a direct message from the xperia blog on twitter. i ask why i have not see and reviews yet. they said that they are still waiting for the final x2 software and and we should see reviews soon. they said in a twwet to someone else that they should be sent out next week.
can they release on the 6 november when they still have not got the final software? i doubt they will, my guess would be mid to late november

Would seem odd, but then again it wouldnt suprise me if SE released this early without the final software update. It says so on the Voda website that it will come on the 6th.

To find out, go to this page http://www.vodafonetouchthephone.com/ , click on "skill game", while playing that on the bottom left of the screen different phones will pop up, everytime the phone pops up the date of release pops up with it. You may have to play it a few times as different phones pop up.
id be more interested in the new droid than a rebadge x1

looks like the 6th is the official date. but one thing i would point out is the satio's date is the original one and that was delayed by a week or 2 so the x2 might get the same treatment but lets hope not.
We won't see the X2 in the shelves before the very end of November the earliest.

I can wait!
I don't get it... so You guys are actually waiting for it?? damn... msm 7200a cpu is sooo yesterday comparing to snapdragon or a8 cortex devices. I would wait few more weeks/months if I were You. the worst thing one can do is to sign a vodaphone contract for 18 - 24 mths to get it. well... other than 8 mp camera, what's so special about x2 anyway? panels? please..... SE's quality??
...
I am keeping x1 till release reviews of htc leo, n900 and x3 (if those rumours about nov 3 are real).
then I shall burn my money...
X2 java speed at top
Someone wrote in an SE forum that X2 might get different hardware specs than what leaked before (7200a). Lets wait for the final device and see what aktually is in it
Lets hope they speed it up a bit.
If it does come out on the 6th it'd be just in time before the warranty for my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing of the keyboard. Been delaying it for so long cos can't do without it for a day.

Well what is SO strange if somebody WANTS that?
I don't ****ing care if it's "so yesterday" or today on paper.
If it works well - great, **** the "dry" specs.
And if it works bad, it's bad.
BTW I don't get any Vodafone contract, but simply buy this from SE.
As for device: great camera, great keyboard, good quality, and yes - also those damned panels. Now you get it?
Snapdragon - there are only two now, both touchscreen only, even no camera button - thank you.
I'm very picky as for hardware/formfactor, nothing convinces me.
N900 - please, a device which works in landscape ONLY???
So - not much to choose from!
And Android - that would be interesting but again - depending too much on Google - thanks.
I'd be really happy to have at least 3 devices I like to choose from but it just cannot happen!
HTC makes such a crappy devices (form factor/functionality)....

Old news is old, but thanks for the effort.
Good to know that they are aware of the Q4 rumours and have squashed them.
Hopefully they roll out the update in the early part of September.

It's not old, it is a new announcement from 2 days ago.
Someone here on the forum claimed that he has some internal information from Sony saying that the updated will pushed back to Q4 due to performance issues, and this new announcement reassures that the update will be released on Q3 as promised before.

I didn't mean old as in the passage of time but rather old as in that specific tweet had been discussed to death already. Was just trying to inject a quick quip before the hordes descended on the thread and flamed it into oblivion.
the announcement is very important. There has been a lot of rumors flying around the market. In this particular time, the consumers do need the official clarification instead of just guessing themselves. Thanks to SE UK for making the announcement again, which should have been done on the SE product launch blog.

thanks for the information.
O Nozzz!
Without my upgrade tomorrow to 2.2 all the other kids in my class will think I am 2% less cool than they are!!
I read on the interwebs that Sony lied to me, and I will never ever ever ever forgive them. And I am going to cut myself.
/sarcasm
Was wishing to get it before school starts.. Guess not... BTW, we get to keep all our stuff/settings in the update right?
Here in denmark x10 will get a update next week, but don't know what phone of the xperia series it is

People make airplanes for 6 months and SE needs that time to implement OLD 2.1 on X10 device...they could build whole new X20 phone for that time.
You say "A" update are we talking 2.1 or what (Im dane as well) and where do you got that from
Oh it just say a updaye not what it is and just that it will solve known problems

I wouldn't set foot in an airplane that was designed in under 6 months
SE sure take some time, but I'd rather have them deliver a well refined 2.1 then some quick fix

Heh, airplanes take years to design, test and build. The 747 for example started development in 1965 before entering service in 1970.

But to carry on the analogy, porting SE's UXP to Eclair is more like taking a built 747, redecorating it, and putting some useless demo apps in the cockpit to help navigate .

More like taking the blueprints for a 747, building a new body but keeping the infrastructure underneath while adding a fourth floor. It's not as big of a task as building it from scratch but it while take considerable time to develop, test and then finally build it. Might not take five years, but getting it done it under two would be a massive accomplishment.

Froyo Update for X10 Confimred At CES !! [ UPDATE : NOT !! ]

Time to Rejoice !!

"4:51PM They keep showing the Xperia X10 on the screen. Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10. "
Already dicsussed in another thread ..sorry guys ..wasnt there when i last refreshed.
Bit overexcited i guess
beat me to it haha
I still want to know if the next update is based on 2.1 or 2.2
If its true then really great.
Would have been nice to have seen some pictures of it.
yes they have. i love it! sony ftw!
Awesome news!
is there an official release date yet?
thats a bad news i think - it confirms - no gbread for x10
That was what i was afraid of, FroYo means no Gingerbread :/
But i'm going to probably find a way to do an upgrade to one of SE's newly announced handsets with Rogers as i'm sure they'll carry at least one of them.
Wow. Re-read the engadget liveblog. It says this:
4:51PM They keep showing the Xperia X10 on the screen. Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10. UPDATE: This was a terrible joke, ruined by a typo. It was supposed to say "Not shown." Our apologies -- liveblogging is a rough game.
Xperia X10 = No Froyo? I don't know. I will bet XDA Devs will make a fully Functioning/working Froyo Rom before SE does.

Yes this was a typo! No 2.2!
ok so its still up in the air
but this could be a good thing we may still get gignerbread
you wait til MWC 2011
yes i hope for froyo, still beter then get stuck on eclair, i know there i custom rom but it is based on eclair kernel so it is great news, i hope they will enable doubletouch, 16m colors and acces to full RAM(360MB or something).

Updated statement from Engadget about Froyo on X10 in CES cant be true! do we have Horn?
Compare:
1- Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10
2- Not shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10 (Updated)
if statment 2 be true:
- statement 2 means that Engadget had known that X10 must be upgrade to Froyo
I think SE wants Engadget to change their statement.
I hope that there will be a 2.2 update. But at the same time i don't care if it will not come as long as my mobile is working well and doing what its supposed to do.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
This is bad news indeed.. all the time it was just a typo !! Hopefully someone else at CES would be able to scoop on the status of X10 - (Abandoned/Hope/In the Game)
wow i was getting extremely excited. I hope atleast the update 2 brings back the old messaging app and the light blue wallpaper no the current dark blue one.
damn it! i had my hopes high now they ruined it!
