Im about to buy this phone (experia x8 or x10),but the news like this make i change my mind....although i think that experia x10 is capable of android 2.2, sony make all people down and feel waste of money buying their phone....
so bad sony ericsson . just mind for profit than after sales service
I can't but wonder if this is related to the same news from Samsung withholding their update for Galaxy S.

Yeah, you might want to give these phones a miss. Sony will just constantly disappoint you. They should of stayed well away from Android. Android is meant to be an open platform, but they are doing all the wrong things with it.
I can understand if they say that x8 will not receive Gingerbread update due to hardware limitations. But for Froyo, x8's hardward can support it! I hope SE will change their mind.. :/
I can imagine that is based on costs. Since the majority of people that buy new phones today, as they have done with computers for decades, is that they never update their software. Since, for Sony Ericsson there is nothing to gain to update to a newer version of Android.
On the other, they could however remove the encryption on the boot loader, so people like us can deploy whichever version we want of Android.
that's true I emailed the support for se and they replied that there will be no froyo update for the x10, x8 and x10 mini, the only update they will be doing is multitouch in the 1st quarter of 2011. so i guess we're stuck with the 2.1 software and rooting will be the least possible solution we can do
Shame for lazy Sony Ericsson developer guy, Samsung Galaxy Europe I5500 which has same CPU like X8 gets Froyo update, what reason for X8 can't get Froyo?
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
The reason maybe is the RAM memory x8 have 175 ram and others phone that have a official 2.2 update have 256+ ram ;[ maybe this is the reason. But i don't understand for x10 this phone have 368 ram and SE tell that the x10 will not get 2.2 update ... If SE don't make a update to 2.2 for x10 or x8 I will never buy SE phone again!

Share with us, will you dare to buy sony ericsson phone again?
My opinion - NO, NEVER AGAIN.
All this stuff with the locked bootlader, the huge efforts needed to flash custom rom, and there are again things that doesn't work.
Another thing - the lack of Dual Touch...

to be fair, I realy love my Xperia (is my first android phone) and I am satisfied about the performace of this phone, taking into account the price of this smartphone, but it realy suck's that other devices like htc or samsung have the similar or worse hardwer than our xperia and these phone's have latest update of Android softver!
Big thank's to developer's here at XDA, for their efforts to make our phone a better and faster phone, if XDA not exist, I would have sold my phone and buy me another cheaper htc or samsung with the latest update!
I'm pretty sure that my next smartphone will be Xperia Arc or Xperia Play!

Even with the new phones, will SE ever keep updating OS for them? Or just release them to 2.3 and never update to 2.4+ ? Like us, who were abandoned with 2.1?
I agree to the point that newer phones have better hardware spec. But look, compared to other manufacturers, there's nothing impressive from SE. Xperia Arc? SE's best phone? It sucks with Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon 1GHz, in comparison with Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 in Galaxy S II.
What I am most disappointed from SE is they MAKE and they FORGET. Us? They MAKE us BELIEVE them.
Sony Ericsson: make.forget.
X8 will be my last SE phone.
My phone will be iPhone 3G or dual core based on tegra 2 android device THAT ISN'T MADE BY SE!

I love my SE...but, for the same money, i can have LG OO (OS is supporting is incredible). For the first time, when i saw the Xperia Arc i say: This is my future phone, but i be afraid of the OS supporting. Now for me. I will buy in future other Android device (probably something from Acer or (I never believed that I say) HTC), or Nokia with WP7.
Sorry for my bad english.
Well, X8 has a very nice hardware comparing it to the price, but lack of support is just killing. I know they want us to buy new mini series next year, but I'm not going to give in. Next time it will be some nice HTC or Samsung - I'm thinking about Galaxy Pro. Or something like Wildfire S, but with better display resolution. We'll see next year

Actually, I changed my mind about SE phones...
My next droid will be LG, because they have lousy devs and cracking/unlocking bootloader is easy. I think best support talking custom **** is on LG's side.
If you want better (custom) - buy LG phone.
True, true..
Im really doubtful if i will buy a SE again. One plus side with SE is that they have opened the bootloader for the newer phones.
Maybe I'm a fan of SE but my phone is X10 mini pro were abandoned ( no upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3). I can change branch in future.
@ doixanh :
That video is compare ARC with galaxy SII >>>> no fair for ARC .
Hình chụp thì tay cầm ARC bị run tay >>> hình nhòe đi so với SS Galaxy SII còn video thì bấm chậm hơn,chán nản + thất vọng.
Both ARC and Galaxy SII are latest phones from both company. That's fair to compare them
Mình đâu có quan tâm đến ảnh/quay đâu, nhìn con SII nó mượt trong browser thế kia cơ mà... ARC vẫn đuối lắm

For XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and X8 there are as communicated earlier no plans to update beyond the current Éclair version. There are two mains reasons for this: The XperiaTM X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 all have less RAM memory than XperiaTM X10. By this we can’t guarantee a good user experience by upgrading beyond Android 2.1. The upgrade of XperiaTM X10 also was made possible due to that we had a code base that mostly could be reused. For the mini’s, who have a different user interface, this possibility did not exist.

Hey guys,
I just checked my girlfriend's X8 has this latest software update available (start of July 2011). I think it's now the 3rd update or so, the first being Android 2.1, the second something with Nike-Chip and the ability to cut videos and an office suite.
But somehow I can't find details on what this current 3rd update does (though it's a pretty popular phone?)
Has anybody checked it out already? SE's Backup-And-Restore-App always screws up the contacts and calendar entries, so I would like to know if it's worth the pain.
Edit: Oh and it's a branding-and-simlock-free X8 from Amazon ;-)
SE is full of bull****! They won't update our devices to Android 2.2 because they don't want! I'm using the Froyobread rom and i have 94MB of ram free. If they don't know how to work on their own phones, simply deliver the development to jerpelea, racht, doixanh or anyone able enough!

Finally, we have some progress. After petition which was created by OmegaRED^, and thread, created by me, Sony make some love for our community (thanks for zdzihu for info about it. It's big deal I think, cause we know we can make X10 much better now. Second thing is that Sony didn't forget about us and still looking (hopefully) to relase some other features (I mean sources and answer for questions on their forum). Fingers crossed, guys. We will give X10 devices new life again .

XPERIA GX is really good, what are the benchmarks actually of it vs GS3? Not that I care about it, the phone is smooth, UI is AWESOME and design is THE BEST so far of all Androids. But, the thing we should hope is that it's the MSM8960 Pro, or else we won't have the Adreno 320 .
I'm going to buy it, alot of websites say that the chip in the XPERIA GX supports all networks.
MSM8960 confirmed ->

It's extremally sweet and fast . My next must have after X10 and Play .
BTW - I don't understand why they put Arc/Arc S on second picture, cause there is GX spec xD.
MSM8960 means Adreno 225.
MSM8960 Pro means we get Adreno 320. I think we get the first one ^^. However I'm still going to buy this phone! I contacted Sony Mobile and they said there are no details for a worldwide release yet. So I think there will be worldwide release since they don't know!
Good idea . And I still believe on Adreno 320 with Pro Snapdragon. Maybe they don't put words about it on details. Hope soon we get full specification of GX . Okey, we need stop spam, friend .

Just my opinion: I wouldn't jump ship on an OS just because Sony couldn't make it work. I have an XPlay for personal use and a iPhone4 for work. I would gladly go back to my old Eris before making the iPhone my main device. If you're really hurting for something ICS-ish, unlock it and slap on a new ROM.
