            AnonD-2881, 03 Mar 2011yup,see thats the feeling i am talking about,there is just ... moreEven if people r not satisfied with updates for x10 than it does not mean that new potential customers will stop buying SE phones.
            Yeah, SE made a mistake last time but it doesn't mean that they will do it again.
            They r the only one who have publicaly accepted their mistakes with updates. So, this time they r the most committed in providing updates.

              AnonD-2881, 03 Mar 2011yup,see thats the feeling i am talking about,there is just ... moreU guys r forgetting that x10 was the 1st ever android based phone from Sony ericsson. If they did that much on their very 1st android phone than it's much more than enough.
              No other company did so much. Most of other companies left their 1st android phone on either 1.5 or 1.6. X10 is in far better position as compared to them.
              People keep complaining that even samsung is providing 2.2 & 2.3 for galaxy s but keep in mind that only a extremely small % of galaxy s owners have got the update to 2.2 & that also makes the phone so much laggy that remaining on 2.1 would be far better than updating to 2.2
              At least SE is not comprising with quality. Their 2.1 update was extremely nice which made all their Xperias run faster than before not laggy as hell like samsung.

                    thats really a great excuse for SE to get rid of the responsibility of giving updates to xperia family ,and as far as lg or samsung is concerned,samsung has a galaxy 3 phone in the same price range as of xperia x8 and samsung has not said that they wont give update beyond 2.1 for galaxy 3(which is of same configuration of xperia x8),samsung is taking the responsibility to give updates to all the customers who invested their money on mid range android phone,and as far as LG is concerned ,they also got the optimus one which is in the same price range that of xperia x8 and optimus one is already on 2.2 froyo and still LG is not saying that they wont give and update for optimus one,instead they are saying that they will upgrade optimus one to 2.3,BOTH LG AND SAMSUNG are doing justice with their customers and are taking the responsibility of giving the customers what they deserve,they are not making any excuse like sony ,its only sony ericsson who is running away from their responsibility of giving updates to their loyal customers

                      does that mean we could see Half life 2 or left 4 dead on this phone? as those game's source engine is a highly modified version of havok

                        Whatever OS Sony Ericsson is on, they still is great!

                              Ericsson, and then Sony Ericsson were masters of packing tons of features into phone, a lot of the time ahead of everyone else. When smartphones became all the rage, they chose to partner with Symbian and had success outside the USA, took a swing with Windows Mobile, (which IMHO did quite alot with it, but ultimately failed do to price point and Windows Mobile inherently sucking anyway), and after massively restructuring, had to play catch-up in the Android race which a much smaller workforce. Ya, previous Xperia models were flawed, but thanks to you folks that did buy them, SE has proven their viability in this new market and were able to create this new line. Starting off with Gingerbread and optimized Snapdragons isn't a bad way to kick off the year, and now that they know how the game works, they will be ontop of it. Loyalist such as yours truly my now get sucked back into our fandom and stop using our w760is lol

Instead of SE having to recode the 2 interfaces which is in the previous handsets so i think they will be ok.
