1. Awesome apps! Ty !

2. Great apps and good hints for after the update.
   Does anyone tested the Angry Birds on X10 2.1 ? As on the 1.6 we’re getting black screen?

   Thanks

3. ive got 2.1 but its not smooth as i expected especialy entering main menu, anyone experiencing similar issues?

4. Will SE Xperia X10 will receive Android 2.2 update ever?

5. Great App listed on the top, Angry Birds Lite work on 1.6 also, Looking for an alternative music player which supports good equalizer, Also looking a wireless video streaming software to desktop. Due any one have looked for a alternative for HTC Sense, Live Weather.

6. m.google.no/earth = Sorry, google earth is not supported on your device!
   WTF?

7. Anyone heard from any sources of UK/Ireland roll out?

8. @Limper:
   google earth installed without problems, but I have the same error when i try to get skype via skype.com/m

9. @dualbore

   I think that’s a problem on skypes end, not with your handset!

10. Skype isn’t available for this phone it says.

11. You forgot Angry birds! Works now on my mini pro too 🙂

12. Will X10 get froyo and above?

13. i dont understand why skype wouldnt work on x10i, because i had skype on my phone even thought i got a 1.6.
    Im on the 3 network in the UK and it works completly fine on the 1.6 since it was already pre-installed.
    I just wanna test out sky seige on my phone 😀

14. Does any one know when android 2.1 update for Xperia X10 will be available for India. waiting so eagerly, hitting xperiax10.net website every 30 min.

15. @dualbore

16. @Streamer76
    are you serious, I thought angry bird is still not
    compatible with qvga display ?? can u post some screen shots ?
    if its really working on x10 mini, it is great news.

17. angry birds works on my x10 2.1…mini no one ever posted o.o

18. Sorry but I can’t post now pictures but I can confirm that it really works on my x10 mini pro with 2.1 🙂

19. Does anybody know if games like Nova or Sandstorm are working on x10 with 2.1 i tried diffrent versions but it doesen’t work.

20. @streamer76
    is it working perfectly fine, without any lags or anything ?
    i guess mini’s processor can handle the game afterall ??

21. Yeah, there seems to be no lags but it crashed one time, but there has not been any crashes after that. You will see when u get the update how it works, or do I have to post a video? 🙂

22. @ Sanjay

    Same here. Very eager to know the uptade availability for India

23. @streamer76
    well what can I say, a video post never hurts, but then, I believe you.
    It is great news. Waiting for the upate.

24. @X10
    Cool work
    Appreciate a looooooooooot…
    Will keep posted a list here to so all can make use of …

    Thanks X10

25. Guys can anyone tell when will the update be available in India ? SE said 1st It will be the Nordic Region and then the other kits will follow,but then did not say what kits for which region.SE common guys get your game faces on. You have already received so much criticism and you flagship phone X10 will be the company’s flagship failure phone of the year.Do something and become more professional.

26. Google Earth 🙂

27. Can’t see Vplayer Alpha on the market

28. Do anyone know, if these games are running on Xperia 2.1: Sandstorm, Assassin Creed, HAWX, Dungeon Hunter,Skyfire, Sims 3 and other game loft games?

    Thanks 😉

29. Take RockPlayer.! 😉

30. where the upgrade for 2.1 is release in Portugal

31. sorry.. when the upgrade 2.1 is released in Portugal

32. Anyone have any slight clue at all as to when the update may reach the UK?

33. I Can’t Find Skype in the Marked Place from the X10 Mini Pro, why?

34. vPlayer is for 2.2 only

35. @everybody
    Have you noticed any bugs on the update? Or is it just me…?
    My phone @ 100% brightness becomes hot, then turns off(batterylife shows 40 degrees C). I use < 100% and it doesn't turn off by himself.
    BUT the major bug i noticed: it freezes from time to time. Why would that be? What should I do? Repair ?

36. We cannot use Google Earth because Xperia X10 cannot operate pinch-in,right?
    Zoom-in use double-tap in place of pinch-out, but Zoom-out doesn’t.

37. SE fanboys please excuse me for this (just ignore this comment and keep thinking how cool your device and move on)…
    ——————–

    FUCK YOU SE!! they let us live in stone age for loooong time!!
    and now they are proud by moving us into medieval ages!!!

    still waiting for my galaxy S…

38. nobody had problems with the update?(frozen phone, unexpected restarts…?)

39. The only thing I have been waiting for since I got the phone is flashplayer. I love the updates to this, and I must say it is 50% live having a new phone:P I really hope Sony Ericsson can use most of their codes and visuals for 2.2, or we might as well drop the thought of flashplayer for about a year.

    Anyway, here is the upcoming processors for smartphones! And yes, that includes a dual-core 1.5GHz processor using (if same as the 1.2GHz dual-core) 30% less battery then our single 1GHz processor:P If Sony Ericsson gets a 1.5GHz and 1.5GB ram then their phone will be lasting for quite some time.

    With that processor, you can watch a full 1080 30fps film with 5.1 surround.
    High-performance GPU – up to 88M triangles/sec and 532M 3D pixels/sec and dedicated 3D/2D acceleration engines for Open GLES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1 acceleration

42. My observations on the X10 running 2.1 so far.

    – My phone explorer doesnt seem to sync calender.. in fact the backup app hasnt update the calender at all.. big calender issues. I still get reminders but nothing shows in the Calender
    – Its all a little freezy. Not very smooth.
    – Angry Birds works fine. 🙂

43. Nothing yet in Brazil… 🙁

44. @shaf

    As far as your knowledge, I am self earning person, bought this for android development.

45. vplayer supports only neon chips; x10 is running on qualcomm and so it won’t work on it

46. skype works in my update 🙂

47. “Google Earth – Use Google Earth to fly around the planet with the swipe of a finger. Search by voice for cities, places, and businesses. Browse layers including roads, borders, places, photos and more. ”

    Sony Ericsson India Android
    2.1 update alert! Folks, we have started rolling out the Android 2.1
    update globally. For India, we will start with the Xperia™ X10 mini pro
    update this week followed by X10 and X10 mini the coming week. Please
    look for the update on your phones or check for the update

54. For anyone complaining about the os not running smoothly, try uninstalling those silly task managers.

55. Dont complain for 2.2….. we are fine with 2.1…
    the only thing i want in the next 2.1.x release… i want 16million colors!!! Multitouch!!!

    and yeah! Tango Videocalls is cool =) Nexus Live Revamped LW and finally, Widget Locker

56. @ sasi, m sorry but I’m not used to shitting on my mommas tits like how u indians do, its best done by indians including sucking cocks, so I’ll leave it to u guys. ROFL

57. i rooted my x10 then flashed it to nordic countries and now i got 2.1 WOoot xD

    love it already =D

58. Are you sure Skype works on X10 2.1 ?
    I just went to their website and it says it doesn’t …

59. Skype is working. It worked on 1.6 as well with Nimbuzz app.

    Guys what is Quadrant Benchmark score for your 2.1 X10. I got 534 which is better than 1.6 but still way behind others including Samsung Galaxy

60. The Gallery 3D app is already installed on the X10 after the 2.1 update, and it’s totally awsome, only you wont find it in the menu: you have to create a custom shortcut to it, using Anycut, or the built in custom shortcuts from ADW Launcher or LauncherPro.

    Search for “Gallery’ in the list of activities! 🙂

89. duh…am using gallery 3d on mah mini and it works like a charm

90. I’ve been on the latest 2.1 version of Android on my Xperia X10 mini, but I’m not too happy with the latest update. For some strange reason, the latest system SE rolled out has been irking me and getting on my nerves a lot. I noticed my battery life drains so much quicker than it used to, and I’m not entirely so happy with the interface. The keyboard is wack, poor maneuverability too. Sony Ericsson really dropped the ball on this one, considering that they constantly delayed the update.
    Or maybe it’s just me, updates don’t seem to please me much these days. Hehehe.
    I’m thinking of downgrading back to the original Android version for my phone. However, I’m concerned I’ll be missing out on the killer apps 2.1 has. Plus I think Live Wallpapers only work on 2.1.
    The keyboard is just so damn horrible, battery life drains in a flash, it takes forever for data to load, crappy choppy Wifi, crappy maneuverability (I now frequently accidentally take some of my apps, and take them flying all over the place when I hold something down for too long. Unlike the original OS.).
    I’m sorry, I’m just not too happy with 2.1.

91. anybody hv pblm with nimbuzz call????

92. Please Update 2.2 Xperia x10 mini

93. i have updated my xperia x10 to gingerbread. There has been significant improvement in speed and feel. Dual touch is more than sufficient for non-gamers. web browsing is good with pinch to zoom but text reflow is missing. Camera is much improved. tethering works like magic. camcorder hangs a bit, but still cam is best. battery life is almost same as in 1.6. i miss mediascape, but not that much. i say that the upgrade has been proved a boon

94. Great apps and good hints for after the update.
    Does anyone tested the Angry Birds on X10 2.1 ? As on the 1.6 we’re getting black screen?

    Thanks
