Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.
Currently we cannot confirm the release of Android 2.2 for the X10, any notifications with regards to this will be released on the Sony Ericsson website.
Kind Regards,
Mark Chapman
Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services
WTF！！
Really, you're surprised? What did you expect them to say?
i except them will sat 2.2 is on the plan .!
They don't announce plans that far ahead though. If 2.1 is coming out in December, then we wouldn't get 2.2 at least until around this time next year.
It would be nice to get confirmation for 2.2, but for now, just wait and stop whining.
you are right!
as a matter of fact,NO 2.2 FOR X10 this year i think.
by the time 2.2 release my x10 is broken already need new one heheheheheh!!!!!
Don’t forget tech support are made by contractor, the person answering you probably working for a company, just sub contracted to SE so obviously they wont have any answer or cant give you one.
Android started a new wave, i would call it what the user want, the way he want it.
Other one like apple or blackberry are in the mindset me make what we think people want and need. Sadly Sony is one of them, but it doesn’t mean we as user cannot change it.

Cnrl, I'm not really adding to this thread other than to say i think the above comment is Absolutely spot on !
HTC encourage and learn from devs at xda, if SONY did the same they'd quickly have devices everyone wants
Spoke to a friend of mine who is at Orange today and he has told me the following:
1. SE have no intention of bringing out the 2.1 update BEFORE decemeber 2010.
2. Its unlikely that it will ever have 2.2 on it.
3. It is Oranges worst ever selling handset from SE and there is already plans to no longer sell it past October.
Make of that what you will, he works in handset testing and he showed me the circular email that all staff in his dept received for number 1.

tell your friend to stop making things up
orange shop staff hear nothing like what your saying anyway. they cant even tell you what phones they are getting in next week , nevermind whats going to happen in the future.
the 'worst selling SE phone' comment is rubbish too. it is SEs best selling phone in a long time. in asia it has outsold every other smartphone and broke records. in the UK vodafone have sold a silly amount of them too. the director of SE has praised its sales on many occasions and called it an apple beater
thanks for your useless comment
Just wait for it to be rooted...
To be honest, why couldn't SE just recompile the firmware with 2.1 + their custom stuffs from the current release? If they developed their custom interface stuffs with the standard APIs it should just be a short verification + debug efforts. No new feature is needed to be developed and tested.
I highly doubt that we will get any update beyond end of year '10... it is NOT in SE best interests to support it when they will release newer models Winter/Spring '11. Even Apple discontinued supports for their 1st gen. iPhones.
Q4 is October, November, December, so that matches Sonys time frame.
However I doubt the guy at Orange really has a clue what's going on. He is probably full of cynism, and has no faith in sony so is just giving the most negative information possible.
people who work at these kiosks / stores hardly know anything about phones, they just work there. in a blue moon there is maybe one guy that actually follows the phone world

So, I've been wondering.... How is the X10 marketed in your neck of the woods? Here in Japan, the amount of advertising I see on a daily basis for the X10 is on par with, if not exceeding, the iPhone 4. I wonder if this has to do with the support the phone gets.... Obviously the phone is popular here, and it seems to get a lot of updates quickly. If the X10 doesn't sell a lot, it probably won't get updates in any sort of timely fashion.
Our most recent marketing push by SE here was to advertise the fact that your can change your default launcher and customize it with many different colors/backgrounds. They're pushing it so hard that they've made 10 (!) commercials highlighting the feature that run constantly on TV. You can find them here if you're interested: http://www.sonyericsson.co.jp/product/docomo/so-01b/cm/index.html
nothing in USA yet as there is no carrier subsidizing the phone. Rumors said AT&T will get it in September or October this year, but the rumor wasnt confirmed yet. Most people in the US who own the X10 mostly got the info from the internet.
The winning market for SE is obviously not Americans.
In canada, i consider it the best phone available. Please don't tell me HTC desire is better just because you can have froyo.
Isn't there a post on engadet saying SE have achieved 5 billions subcriptions already with the phones?
Anyway, SE phone are always popular in Asian market (watch a hong kong TVB drama and every actor use a x10)

PLEASE NOTE: THIS THREAD IS CREATED BECAUSE I SINCERLY LIKE SE AND NOT FOR BASHING SE. IF YOU WANT TO TROLL OR BASH SE CREATE A NEW THREAD
Dear Sony,
I am one of your avid Fan. Right from the beginning I was using SE phones only. To Mention a few I have used F500i, J230, K750, W810i, K810i, W980, W705 and now X10. So as you can see I was using SE right from 2004. I can say “If you have Once used Sony Erricson, you will always use SonyEricsson”.
Let me be very clear. I love you so much. I have defended SE in many forums from many trolls and iSheep bashers for many years. I did this because I love SE and I believe you will always gives me what is best out there.
But off late you are not living up to your fans belief. What the is wrong with you?
The last master piece from you was W810i. After that all your products disappoint me. K810i, W910i and W980i all of them were total disappointment for me. Off late all your products follow a certain approach, you will announce a very good product and then there will tremendous delays in bringing it to the market, after that i will have many software bugs and hardware failures. So before the product becomes complete it will become outdated..
If you refuse to believe I will give you proof.
Do you know W810i was announced in Feb ’06 and availability was Mar ’06.
K810i was announced in Feb’07 and availability was Apr 07.
W980 was announced in Feb’ 08 and availability was Aug 08.
W705 was announced in Oct’ 08 and availability was May 09.
Satio was announced in Feb’09 and availability was Nov ’09.
And Xperia X1, X2 and X10 every kid knows its delays and bugs.
What happened to you SE? There were long delays. Even after delays none of these phones lived up to its hype ( W980,W705, Satio and X10). You were the first to announce many technologies (8MP, 12MP camera, snapdragon with android phone, even 4" screen) but you were the last to bring it to the market with sky high prices. Where is my Old SE? where I can get all latest tech in a budget phone? Where are you SE?
And Like a Crown for all your failure, the X10 2.1 update. When other are pushing to bring 2.2 for their flag ship device, you cant even bring 2.1 to your Flag ship phone. Instead of bringing 2.2, you are back porting live wallpaper and 5 home screens to 1.6.
WHY THE HELL YOU ARE RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL?
Stop wasting your precious resources in back porting things. Move more resource to bring 2.2 to X10. If you cant alteast please open the bootloader.
X10 had everything to make you success but you missed it.. Good Design, Good Hardware (at Nov '09 nobody had this hardware) and Good Name (You have loyal fan base) and Perfect time (Think if it had been released during Christmas time).
X10 could have been your own iPhone or Droid. It could have been your golden egg but you missed it. What going on in your mind SE? If I can think all these, cant the armani wearing million dollar salaried EO's think? Have you lost it?
We have defended you so long SE but you are now disappointing us more. You even embarrass us by saying you turned down google (X10 as Nexus one would have been epic). Please don’t cheat us more SE. We love you but there is a limit for our patience. If you keep cheating us then Even God (I believe he is there) cant save you.
All I can say is please bring out Froyo update for X10 soon and with no bugs (We dont want 1000 new features we just want Bug less phone). After all you are a more talented company and you certainly deserve a second chance like Moto.
Please SE don’t disappoint us again and save yourself from bankruptcy. Please Make us Believe
---- A sincere, beaten, disappointed and embarrassed Sony Ericsson Fan .
A couple points:
- If you ever want to be taken seriously in any capacity, refrain from foul language.
- Also, refrain from referring to things as "iCrap". Shows a lack of class.
- Live Wallpapers and 5 home screens are default 2.1 features, not being backported from 2.2
- Pricing depends on region. In Japan, the United States, and several other countries, the X10 is the cheapest or one of the cheapest smartphones available. It's free in many markets.
- The X10 is Docomo's highest selling smartphone of all time, and is poised to become their best selling phone of the year/ever. Japan is the world's second biggest market.
Good day sir!
Another point god or gods do not exist, therefore offer no threat.

But Total cost of ownership for a not so high end is high compared to other high end phones. This will be the thought of a average guy
- The X10 is Docomo's highest selling smartphone of all time, and is poised to become their best selling phone of the year/ever. Japan is the world's second biggest market. I agree. If they could had made things perfect like releasing with 2.1 and in december, they could have sold Millions in other countries too

I believe he is there But no Offense (Original post edited to reflect my view)
IF some one could send this to SE CEO, I would be glad. Or If you can pm me his mail-id, I will send it myself.
Thanks
No offense but what do you think you reach by sending this kind of letter to a CEO? No matter which company he is leading, this really is a "straight in the dustbin" letter for those managers...
Again no offense, you wrote down what you think, but I want to bet he don't read till the half of it, to try that out, you might put in the last sentence something about him having an affair with a dead horse, if you dont get anything back, I proved my point....

Gotta agree with PollPixx.
imo they don't go past the subject of e-mails... snail mail is a thing of past.
moreover they don't go over this stuff personally but their PA's etc do... separate the junk out and send in the "really important" stuff... but only god knows what that is (apart from them )
Looking away from the language, it is a fine letter to SE.
I have also only had SE phones private, starting with the old
Ericsson 318, Erisson t68
t280, t610, k530, k750, k810, k850
c905
w595, w715, w760
x10, x10 mini, x10 mini pro
My 3 kids have all had SE W595 and now they all have X10 mini.
Also i have only used SE for work in many years, currently i have a x10 mini pro...
At work it have been me that have decided what phones we have bought and used for the last 3-4 years, so i have been the main reason that we have only bought SE phones...
- that is over 250 SE phones all together, at work...
(I know that it is NOTHING in the big picture looking from SE headquarters, still it must count for something)
In this answer i just want to ad my own dissapointment thoug...
The main problems is that the big X10 is missing the FM-radio, missing the better headset connection and missing the one finger zoom, while the two cheap small X10 mini models have those things.
What is that about SE ?
Why have you decided to make 3 different X10 series phones, and then at the same time make the TOP model, the one with the weakest features ?
I am really dissapointed with you SE, the lack of updates, the missing features in the X10 top model.
From (i think it was) the old T610, or was it K750, and all the way up to now, my SE phones have allways had FM radio build in, and that was for me a loved feature, then you decide to release the X10 without FM Radio, and after that you again decide to put in FM radio in the mini´s ??
I know i didn´t read close enough in the specs when i bought my X10, but i really was expecting that there would be FM radio in an SE phone, and offcource there would be in the top model, no question about that. What a dissapointment !
An other lack is that tracker (step counter) that was build in i think all the newer phones eg. W595 and W715, now with X10 i again see a loved feature removed, why ?
I find it strange that good working features that SE implement in your phones, is removed again from newer phones.
Features that actually IS the SE brand, features that we learn to love and use every day, you decide to remove.
Why ?
I don´t get the point in making that huge effort to make a few nice new features like timescape and mediascape, and becource of those features you have been left behind, and are currently stock on Android 1,6, and right now we all are waiting for S/E-Android 2.1,, ONLY Android 2,1 when other companies like HTC are moving away from Android 2.1 and on to Android 2.2...
S/E why not release Android 2.2 fast and be the leader in the marked.
Then let people decide for them self IF they want the S/E signature-features like TimeScape and MediaScape when you have those ready later.
Just make new features avalible from your fine PlayNOW system just like you did with CreaTouch.
Why have you at the same time decided to lock down the bootloader of the X10 when Android is a brand new OS you are just learning ??
- release the bootloader now, and look what happen, learn from it and then when you are actually doing a better job coding the OS than other DEV´s on the www, you can decide if you again will lock down bootloaders in your future android phones.
At the moment it make no sense at all, not to let your dev-team learn all they can about what can be done with the hardware you have made.
The hardware is actually really great, and solid build, it is "only" the software that is the problem...
Now i move on to the strange thing about wide range of current phone models you have on the marked.
Why that many, is that really nessesserry at all, really ??
Why not make an effort to be the absolutly best there is on a mutch smaller range of phones, only focus on a few models, perhaps only android phones, as you have said that you want to be world leaders in Android powered phones in a few years anyway.
As i see it you only need one X10 model more to have a complete set of phones, so there will be at least one that souit everyone.
Add one more X10 mini and make it with an old style slide out t9 keyboard.
At last.
I have also been thinking about jumping over to an other brand, and perhaps also look for other phones next time we need some at work, as i am that dissapointed with SE...
But private i find my self thinking that i perhaps just should wait and get the X12 when that is released...
Can i really be that stupid, REALLY ???
- dispite my dissapointment with SE, really ???
SE you are SO lucky that you have a big and loving fan base...
At work i KNOW that SE have the best hardware and the lack of features i mentioned here is no problem in work use...
Again SE you are REALLY lucky that you have a big loving fan base...
Just DON`T dissapoint us anymore !

I won't bother replying to the rest...but, my X10 has one.
It's called the Android Market, you can download anything, including pedometers.
At least they all look familiar and have similar sounding names - X5, X8, X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro. SE are trying to satisfy each segment of the market, just like their competitors HTC, Samsung, Motorola and Nokia do.
@iead1
Is there something you're not telling us? Like who you work for.
Please dont embarass yourself. Your grammar is atrocious.
How about buying an AD on newspaper, and then I'm sure the SE CEO will see this.
sony in general is a big comany, my family has been buying sony things for at least 20 years (got an old and really old stereo which still works o.0)
they always had the best things in the marker, we even say if it's a sony is good
in the past I never used SE, just used nokia or motorola but when i saw the x1 i just felt in love, but when I knew that no wm 6.5 would arrive to it i was so pissed we paid a lot for it to get nothing more, same applies for the x10
i know companies want to get more profits but where's the customer's satisfaction? they use to think that is better to have loyal customers for a long term instead of just having a lot for few months (kinda the thing is going on today)

Yes, but those on marked is far from working as good as the one in eg. w715...
- and if you was actually using it, you would know that ;-)
Anything ?
- then throw me a link to an fm radio application for the x10, or to one finger zoom perhaps, or to any of the other things that the x10 don't have, that the mini's and all the old SE phones have... *LOL*
Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#
I think that the live wall paper and home screens reference has to do with the SE Japan release of Ambientime which has 5 home screens, pseudocode live wallpapers and a new lock/unlock swipe which is more animated.
That app looks like work that was done as an assessment of the phone's potential to do live wallpapers. It's sort of interesting even if it makes the phone laggy and lockup.

I couldn't find anything on this here and wasn't sure where to post it but "x10 general" seemed logical.
It is with great sadness that we have to bring you the news that this will be the last post on this website. Sony Ericsson has filed a formal complaint about the use of the trademarked ‘Xperia’ name in our domain name and have requested that the domain names, including that of XperiaBlog.net, be transferred to them.
Sony Ericsson is alleging that we have used the domain names in “bad faith”. We are stunned and disappointed that Sony Ericsson, a company that we have spent much of our free personal time in promoting, especially the Xperia brand, has decided to take this formal action against us. After all we are just like you, passionate Sony Ericsson users, who have strived to bring the community breaking news and an independent viewpoint.
We do not have the resources to fight Sony Ericsson on this and therefore this is the last you will hear from us. Sony Ericsson has made great strides in its Xperia portfolio, especially in listening to the community. This makes it all the more confusing as to why Sony Ericsson would want to shut us down. We genuinely believe that 2012 could be a bumper year for the company, we just wish we could have been there along for the ride.
All the best.

Source: The website in question.
This sucks :-(
Just seen it on the site myself. Like so many posts on the site said in response to the article, it was a place to stop by for X10 news.
Sad day. Another point against SE.
That sucks.
Before I discovered XDA, xperiax10.net was the place I visited most often after I first got my X10. They posted lots of helpful news and information.
I never found them to be of 'bad faith' to Sony Ericsson at all. Quite the opposite, actually.
Too bad SE has to go and do this. After they gave us the generic 2.1 and 2.3 updates and followed by supporting the CyanogenMod group, I really thought they had become very community-friendly. This is sad news that SE seems to have taken a few steps backwards.
yep that's what I was thinking.
I mean I DO see where they are coming from (SE) but... come on, its not like they would have been making much money from it, any money I assume would have been put back into the running of the site - and anyway, what the hell do SE want with the domain, it's just like a playground bully.
Booooo!!
this is a bummer. i mean, isn't it free advertising on SE's part that someone else is running a website for their phones, right? plus, it's highly unlikely that SE will put a site that will discuss or will elaborate on their phones on a user-level.
What a sad story :-( that site is very imformative and a none biased one...

Will this affect xda-developers site too?
Will SE require the xda-developers site to stop the use of the Xperia reference in forums next? Should we be concerned?

I think they will have no problem with you using 'experia' in the name
Well, that's the final nail in the coffin for me!
I've had enough with the way SE have treated us over the life of the X10. I no longer use Timescape since the GB release, I've never used Mediascape and this week the SE facebook sync keeps giving me sync failure messages, even though I turned off facebook sync (I really don't want 'deep' facebook integration anyway!)!
Now killing the Xperia blog site, most certainly the best SE info site, is just taking the P1$$!
If there was any doubt before, now my mind is made up, I want vanilla android on a google experience device! My next handset will be a Galaxy Nexus!
The first time in over 10 years I won't be using an SE phone. They can't treat their customers the way they do and expect them to stay loyal!

I disagree. Sony have confirmed they will not be using Android on there devices in the future.
SondreVAIO... Stop posting 1001 threads about the same damn thing. You've done this multiple times with multiple topics.
source? they will be using around and windows mobile and said that while unlikely they may persue buying palm OS from HP.
however this deal does not go through until early 2012 so expect business as usual.
my source...my uncle who works for S.E in sweden
I think I am going to get a Samsung next time I get a new smartphone, If Sony confirmed there not using Android.
I don't know if I'm gonna like this unless it means more big budget titles come to the Xperia PLAY.
Sony's got a long streak going for dip**** decisions, poor marketing and absolutely dreadful ad campaigns. SE's Kristen Schaal ads for the Xperia PLAY were easily better than any of that garbage Sony tried to market the PS3 with.
who needs sony we have our own comunity here we will build our own ultimate rom if sony leave us in a pit.

Source for this? I know the Vita won't use Android, but it would make sense for them to do it for cellular and tablet devices...

Unless you have an r800x then, like me sadly, you need sony to release some kernel sources for your device, which may never happen, so in some way I agree with you because Im sure a dev in this community will figure the lil ol' r800x out sooner or later
If sony drops android though I will more then likely go back to Droid line up , Im seeing Droid 4 on Lte kinda tempting
But at the same time Im enjoying the challenge of my r800x, it will be defeated!

I second that. I'm a bit worried too. Indeed Sony has a history of making very very bad decisions by trying to go their own way and fail.

well....your gonna have to show a link for that, SE mentioned a while ago that 80% of there revenue came from their android phones, why would they jump ship now?
in fact i got a quaot for you from engadget:
"Update: Sony president and CEO Sir Howard Stringer has just addressed the media on the proposed buyout and confirmed that the company will indeed move away from feature phones, as previously stated. This effectively heralds the death of the Walkman line and the dawn of Sony's exclusively Android era, though Stringer's not ruling out the possibility of bringing another OS on board. When asked whether his firm would consider buying webOS, the exec said simply, "Never say never."

what? are you spreading bad information on purpose or something?
Engadget pretty much says the exact opposite of what your claiming, sony are ditching feature phones and are going 100% into android
