In a shock case of everything going ABSOLUTELY ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE for once in the mobile OS update world, Sony Ericsson has started to launch the Android 2.3 update for the original X10 Android phone in Europe. Just like it said it would .
Our attention was brought to the arrival of the Italian version of the update by Android World.it – and upon checking the Sony Ericsson update servers for the UK version of the code…
It’s available as well! An amazing day that most X10 owners never thought they would see, especially as Sony Ericsson itself decided against updating the X10 beyond Android 2.1, before making a spectacular u-turn .
The slightly bad news is that this is for unbranded phones only at the moment. If you bought your X10 through a network, it’s time to start up an internet petition.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

“The update will be up in Europe this Friday”
and
“Europe is the first to get it, other regions to follow by next week. Operator-based devices will not receive this update FYI (I know its been said, but just a reminder). Reminder again, re-flash your device back to stock rom without root to receive the update. You will only see your device has the latest software if not done so.”
