Uh-oh, all might not be well with Sony Ericsson’s incredibly important X10 Android phone. Speaking to a Dutch tech blog, Harold de Kort, marketing manager for Sony Ericsson’s Netherlands office, said the company’s long awaited X10 Android phone will be arriving with Android 1.6.
Presumably the ludicrous amount of customisation Sony Ericsson is adding to the device’s OS, in the form of its Timescape and Mediascape social and media tools, is the reason for the phone’s lengthy gestation period and the fact it’ll come with an older build of Android.
However, as if to head off possible consumer RAGE over the phone appearing with what will inevitably be seen as a slightly out-of-date version of Android, the Sony Ericsson blog has declared that the “Xperia X10 will be upgradeable” – with “upgradeable” presumably meaning it’ll get later versions of Google’s OS.
The X10 will arrive in the UK during April, according to Vodafone.
