They need to create some awesome stuff and get their act together. There's no reason they should take so long to make and release these average phones. This is such old news to anyone who would care and HTC and Moto's offerings have made most lose their interest, I'm sure. The Evo 4G, Incredible, Droid X and Droid 2 have leaked and been released before this thing and this was revealed months and months ago.

Come on Sony.]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
I'd hope for a newer PSP too, but this is Sony... Playstation would be running this if a new PSP was the case.

Plus that's the side of the Xperia anyway.]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
I'd say that the new version of Android is coming out for it or something, themed like it has been though...]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
Specially, that's the side profile of my X10i. The only thing exciting about this, is which version of Android is it going to come with. If it is 2.1 or 2.2, the update for Asia and Europe will follow soon, if not on the very same day.

If it is the 1.6.... sigh... SE did it again, crashing its own party.

Honestly, they need to hire better marketers.]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Aug 8th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
But if it's "smarter" than it most probably comes with a later version of Android.]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/

Sony Ericsson support have stated that 2.1 will be hitting the X10 and X10 mini this month and 2.2 is expected "early next year"

Confirmed improvements for 2.1 include:

HD Video recording as per the Vivaz
UI Improvements

Still taking them way too long though]]>Aug 8th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
Why? The PS3 has only been hitting it's stride the last two years. The console has a long life ahead of it and upgrading to the PS4 now would only aggravate consumers.]]>Aug 8th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
2.2 early NEXT year??? LOL! Sony has failed once again. By early next year people will be excited about Gingerbread. You'd think they would be busting their arse to get 2.2 THIS year. Oh well. Looks like people were right about Sony and their updates.]]>Aug 8th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Aug 8th 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Well is it not as exciting as a new iPhone?

I just got an x10 mini pro; so far it's a great phone (finally, a smartphone at a smart size), but running an antique android version is a bit annoying.

(The other annoying thing; it doesn't seem to be possible to 'copy' plain text from the browser - you can copy addresses and stuff, but not just arbitrary text. But I don't know if a 2.1 upgrade will fix that, because it ought to work in stock 1.6 as well...)]]>Aug 8th 2010 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/You're very right...however, I'm actually someone who has been waiting for this for a while and have had the option to upgrade but no release news from either AT&T or SE, so this is finally something.
That being said, I do agree with you that Sony missed an opportunity taking this long while other, probably superior, phones have been released...if they want to gain some attention, release this phone with Android 2.2; although, everything I read and hear is that is very unlikely...sigh]]>Aug 8th 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
At least they are updating!

There are many Android phone's that updates aren't supported with. Makes me wonder why people even like Android... Sure it's "open source*, and awesome if you are a hacker or some crap..." but it's not controlled, and has bipolar device support... etc...

Sony has to modify EVERY firmware milestone with their special UI... Which I have to say is very nice and worth waiting for. And Sony has great quality control, because I have never encountered a bug on my PSP. Yes it's five-year-old software, but it's perfected. Exactly what Sony does.]]>Aug 8th 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/

Please make it a clone of the Galaxy S but with more style and remember to include an LED-Flash!!!!]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
Aye. SE is taking their own sweet time, on their own road to perdition if they don't wake up.

At least before they become history, throw the Ericsson brand back out.

I miss my Ericssons.... tough as a pocket brick (as heavy too), good for throwing out the window of a moving car and smashing the windscreen of an oncoming one. But that's not all, you can probably pick it back up and still be able to make and receive calls.... those were the bygone days.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Aug 9th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
Everyone else is "late September," "late summer," "second half of the year," "Q3 2010," etc. Not to mention the array of phones that will (probably) never see it: Hero, Behold, Moment, Milestone, Backflip, Eris, Devour.

Regarding Gingerbread, please be realistic. With a late Q4 rollout, very few people will see Android 3.0 on their devices prior to May-June 2011.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Aug 8th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/Aug 8th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/

Good eye, it's definitely the X10 UI..... don't know what the heck this is though... if it's another phone, I'm sure X10 owners will be pissed since they're still on 1.6, last time I checked.

If it is a phone, it better launch with 2.2 because Sony has failed yet again to show that it can't release updates in a timely fashion...]]>Aug 8th 2010 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/sony-teases-something-smarter-our-moneys-on-xperia/
