Its simply just a fancy way to say: Your phone's too old and i can't be bothered supporting it. It's true anyway... i
An old excuse used by SE back in the days of 2.1 "the X10 isn't powerful enough to handle 2.3.3 gingerbread"
Hopefully we'll see a change in attitude by Sony [not Ericsson]

They are partly right about that we can't run 2.3. The SE version of 2.3 then.

Don't expect much..
If any of their "we are going for cash this year" statements are to go by.
As long as they don't purge DURRR HURRR devices on people... i'm ok with it.
I believe that's why the x10 was a abortion.... going for cash...

SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.
people will have to buy xperia arc to get android 2.3. good for their bussiness. this is how it's work.

That's how it works for them, not necessarily for the rest of the industry.
There are phones with worse hardware than the Xperia series which have been given Android 2.2 updates.
IOTW, they **** on their current customers and profit on them. Nothing else.
Its not everything bad.
We can get all that have 2.2 by root phone and we will get multytouch actually we already get it.
They uploaded firmware with multytouch.

please support us,for new fw updates for the X8 and X10 family

I am for.
What I find most annoying is that SE seems to have forgotten they made the x8 entirely.
I'm not even sure if the x8 is considered "part of the x10 family" or not. I can make semi-informed guesses, but there's no official word to clarify this.
thats bad....
Sony mentioned the x10, mini and mini pro and forgot to mention the X8..??
either they r gonna bring froyo to X8 (which i m think is never gonna happen) or they dont think X8 is important enough to mention..!!
I had tweeted SEAnswers about the Xperia X8 and this is what they had to say, I quote "There may be updates to software, however we will not be upgrading past 2.1 OS".Check the Discussions on their Facebook page, no further updates to the Android version.
So... since the x8 was originally intended to launch with 2.1, this pretty much makes the life-span of this particular device... Dead on Arrival.
It's a fine device, but the policy that comes with it is just utter rubbish.

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!

effin SE just sold my x8 and got me an htc instead
There's a new post by Rikard on the blog.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/01/next-update-for-the-xperia-x10-and-x8-family
All that is mentioned for the x8 is:
"the mini products and the Xperia X8 we
also have enabled the ANT+ support in the
chipset. "
and thats it.
No dual touch, new Timescape, no changes to 4 corner UI, so called uxp update is a sham.
SE is crazy. No 2.2, ok we cried but we stayed mum. But going back on a promise of providing a decent update is pretty sad.
How can they not post DT for X8. I dont care about the stupid timescape, or the stupid launcher. All I want is DT (and most of the users here).
$$%$%$%!%$%$%$%
same with me

u are quietly right!!!!but froyo still needed...
i used US firmware, and check with SEUS and PC com, there's no update available.
Anyone has new update? and can you share your SI number? hope that new update is not china firmware, cause it makes my phone slower than US firmware
In case we will receive this update, am i right assuming it will delete anything on the phone?
So we have to reinstall all our apps, adjust settings again and so on?
Come on guys, SE never promised dualtouch for the X8! We don't even know if it's possible. I think we have no right to cry about this, as we bought our phone knowing there would be no multitouch.
Dammit guys! Why are you complaining? They'll enable ANT+!!! Don't you know how useful is it? It'll save many lives, and since we all have ANT+ monitoring devices, DT should be our least concern...
xD, yeah right... I really really don't see any purpose of ANT+, can't they at least give us DT?
All I can say right now is: SE, you haven't said a word about 2.2 on Xperia, while developers got 2.3 working on X10 and racht is in progress of making it work on our X8-s (I hope)...
Google construct the Android OS and SE is 2 lazy to customize it
SE u disappointed us all
The X8 update will start rolling out one week after the x10, so arnd 2-3 days more and we can expect it to begin, not that it'll add much but I want to see if they have made any improvements to the UI.
One "improvement" they surelly done is patch up the root exploit, so I would say not to update...

They could have found the exploit on their own.
As you bought the X8, did you read something about multitouch or Froyo 2.2? No. Point.

As I bought x8, i read that it has ANDROID os AND when i bought it, x8 was new on the market. The most popular os in the world must be upgraded and it must have MT,Flash and app2sd.
Really, really dissapointed about this phone, seems to me that the next phone I buy will deffo not be a SE ( and I'm loyal to SE since my first mobile phone back in 1998 )
Way to screw users by not offering decent updates.
we want froyo in our x8 becuz this is our law. se must unlock the boot loader.

agreed..
i m not updating my phone until SE brings MT or froyo to the X8 (which is never)
this is seriously my last SE phone
Stop hoping for nothing, the X8 will never get froyo or MT oficially... the only solution will be to get a working froyo rom for the x8 and that will be it. Sony screwed me one time with the X8, but it will be the last time i buy a SE phone.
still not available in Croatia...
I just want to say"SE u disappointed us all"
hello,just check this out.new update for x8,maybe its not froyo or gingerbread but anything new is welcome
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17877
Wtf, more updates for what, maybe block root.
They should put aome sync support so we can sync libs from custom roms we will got better perfomance

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.

Max RAM i got with gingerbread is 90 MB and with froyo 111 MB,they skiped froyo,all their devices will run gingerbread so they dont want three devices run froyo,very simple.
But they want their devices to run Eclair? Yeah, hell lot of logic included...

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!

Like the most of X8 Owners, i will never buy a sony ericsson again...
But people like racht and doixanh show us what a lovely phone we have
Head on over to the Sony Ericsson website or check the PC Companian software if you own the Xperia arc. There's a new software update available which adds new themes, a landscape mode for the homescreen, stereo audio in video recordings, an audio boost system called xLoud and ...
Is there some one who can get this and make a flasheble rom threu xrevory so we can get it on the x10 ???
Sorry for the bad englische
wrong forum...
I so want all these stuff in X10 and remember the words of Mighty Bob the builder
YES, WE CAN
if we could get the update software maybe we could use it on our x10 phones
I guess SE will give us some little software updates with bugfixes and maybe new features.
I doubt they'll be bringing it to the X10... It brings a lot of new features. Every time they update the X10 the owners have one less reason to upgrade their phone. I think it's really nice they brought 2.3.3 to the X10, but I don't expect them to give it much updates aside bugfixes...

Maybe we will have a large discussion on SE Forum and ask them update Xperia X10 to Android 2.3.4 again lol. And because the information that SE was testing Android 2.3.4 on X10 so I think this will be. And include in this update is all the update of Xperia Arc :erk:

No. Both still work the same way besides multi touch and the fact the arc has a new processor so its really easy to port. Trip ported a Rom before official 2.3. From the arc

Easy?! It's hard if you don't know how, and if you want to make it run fast without lags it is even harder to do... And because the Arc has a newer processor it doesn't mean that something is easy to port.
I hope some one will get it that would be very nice
