Finally, Sony Ericsson Xperia users will start to receive Android 2.1 as the roll out of the OTA update is slated to begin Sunday to the Nordic region followed by Europe receiving the update on Monday, which will then lead up to staggered updates throughout November making sure every Xperia user is taken care of.
Of course, just because the update is rolling out on a certain day doesn’t mean that you’ll receive the update that day. So don’t worry, your device will not go overlooked.
Features coming with the Android 2.1 update include:
Xperia X10:
• HD video recording with continuous auto-focus for high quality videos
• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android 2.1
• New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
• 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders
• Social phonebook which automatically syncs contact pictures from Facebook and shows when your friends are onlineXperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro:
• Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
• New backup and restore application with extended content back up
• Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
• Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1
The rolling out of Android 2.1 on Sunday barely makes their end of October deadline. Android 2.3 Gingerbread talks are underway as the delicious treat recently was mounted in the front yard at Googleplex, hopefully your contract is up soon if you’re looking at getting the next firmware upgrade.
