Despite the European support sites showing the Android 2.3 update for the X10 as being available for download yesterday, Sony Ericsson today said that… it isn’t. Apparently “some more days” are needed to fiddle with the Android update things before the actual file will appear for users through the company’s PC Companion update tool.
Here’s the very latest, taken from the SE Product Blog:
As some of you have seen we have communicated on www.sonyericsson.com that the Gingerbread software update for Xperia X10 is available. Unfortunately that information was a bit too premature. The launch is imminent and timing according to plan but we just need some more days before we can push the button.
Apologies for giving X10 owners heart attacks yesterday. It’ll be a few more days until it’s properly available. Then we can go through this whole charade again. Link via Phandroid.
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.

Not yet luckly enough for the UK Generic build to be release but it’s filtering out through the regions. It does exist!!

Now there is no excuse for the desire which has more ram than the x10
