Sony Ericsson has announced that its Xperia X10 handsets in the UK will be receiving an Android 2.1 update ahead of its projected Q4 release.

The smartphone maker’s UK unit told one of its Twitter followers that an “upgrade to Android 2.1 is due for release before the end of September this year”.

The news will please owners who have been stuck on the Android 1.6 software since the handset’s release in March. Although Android has already moved onto version 2.2 “Froyo”, with reports of a major leap forward to version 3.0 “Gingerbread” already in the works, the update is a step in the right direction.

It has not been revealed if or when the handset will also be receiving the update in North America, where it launched last month.

    About time. It will be interesting to see if it will live up to expectations after the long wait.

  • Um Top 10..., 1st September 2010.

    Um top 10, I for one think you've missed the boat and got wet when you say " launched in north America - last month - "??? Um excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't Canada part of north America? We've had it since at least
    March thank you, its only in the usa that it has just been released!

    And from what I've heard 2.1 end of September/ mid October of Rogers users for 2.1, December for 2.2 and q1 2011 for 3.0! This is what I've been told by a Rogers customer care Rep.
