Sony Ericsson X10 Android 2.1 Confirmed September

Sony Ericsson UK have confirmed on their official twitter feed that the whole XPERIA X10 family will get the awaited Android 2.1 update by the end of September. Sony Ericsson has been working hard to get this done so fast. We’ve previously heard that it will be done by the end of Q4, not by the end of Q3. They’ve managed to cut out 3 months worth of development time. Let’s hope they haven’t cut it too much, and left use with a whole lot of bugs.

If they manage to pull this one off, I can’t say anything else than good work Sony Ericsson!
