end of march-early april.
that was the original set date for it anyhow.

That's ages away and I'm impatient Grrrrrr.

When you consider how many other capable phones won't get ICS May isn't too bad. At least Sony is keeping the community informed.

Don't worry, doomlord is porting the alpha build over to the play as we speak.. Check the arc dev threads.

hehehe.....seem always be like that.

Just a reminder of what SE are like. One word. X10. That is all I need to say. But I will say this. For.the people who didn't have an X10. They said June for GB and actually didn't get it till august. 2months after they said. So don't get your hopes up guys. Even my mate at SEUK said I shouldn't get my hopes up. That they are very unreliable even to their employees. He says that the alpha release will be better than official by.the time they releases hehe. But may. Seems more about what they say every yr. And then it's not till august or September. Same old ways I say. And so does someone who works foe them.

We also know someone who works for them it should be out on time sony ericsson are doing everything to boost there failing phone brand the x8 x10 not so good the 2011 range they have gone all out to get every sort of advertisment they can get have tried the arc alpha and aint looking to bad i think they mite be on time with this dude.
p.s yes sony are slow and behind but if they say a date (which aint normal) they stick to it just look at stuff like ps3 and psn if they dont know they wont tell you nothing if they do your first to know.

I think we'll have it before May in the European Union, hopefully we shall have a leaked ROM before then

It's still better then what a lot of the other companies are doing. I don't think Motorola can live up to what they promise.

Something to get people off from debating about MT etc.
And no, I am not affiliated by the site in any way.
Sounds fun Hopefully i'll win
Wait, what is this? I thought 2.1 was already released, I've had it on my phone for like 3 days now...

He's telling the truth, 2.1 is also on my new x10i from Orange.
I can tell you all that MT is not working on the new version 2.1 from SE. Hard lucks people, guess we have to wait for bootloader crack which IMO will never happen for x10 devices.

How about never for you whining losers. Beside 2.1 from SE is crap anyway.
Waiting for Devs to give bootloader crack for 2.2 or 3.0, dont make me lol lol lol
And for those who still hoping for MT on SE devices, let me give a no hope. SE latest device X8 which may already or about to be release DONT HAVE MT lol lol, do your little brains think this is because it's not H/W supported lol lol lol with today tech lol lol lol. SE will never enable this function (bells ring yet...something to do with Apple).
Want a better device with the latest Android OS (or fully upgradeable) with awesome manufacturer support then go with HTC. what, no money! go and get a job.
ROFL lol.
Any offer.

You selling your X10 now ?

I'm really leaning towards selling mine at this point .

i am thinking about it, i think all this business with updating taking months apon months is stupid, personally i brought the phone expecting it to receive the new android software fast but SE cant perform as expected.
No Way!!!!
Edit: It's a huge appointment for me, but i'm not going to sell mine.
Ill give anyone £ 50 just to take it and its memories of failure away.

SE's update about 2.1 was a huge let down for me. I was really looking forward to getting it by the end of the week.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Nope.
The X10 in its current form runs fine and there are no better alternatives. IMO
My next phone upgrade will not be a Sony Ericsson though. Possibly HTC if they improve their design and other bits here and there by next year.
You guys are just bunch of babies.. lol..
Didn't get what you wanted and had to go cry about it..
Grow up man. If you didn't like it.. you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
But since you did.. man up and just shut up and move on.
Just my 2C.
I'm seriously considering selling... I'm really dissapointed at how SE deals with software upgrades, the protected bootloader being the prime example of this. I'm hoping for the devs to do something good, but I'm not holding my breath. Sony's done a great job of crippling hope of a decent upgrade.
And yes, the phone works "as is" as many have stated, but the low in call volume, some moments of lag across the OS, lack of MT on a device that should clearly support it and other random little annoyances make me think that spending so much on a "flagship model" was a mistake... I would have loved SE to prove me wrong with a firmware update that solved a bunch of these issues. Now I'm feeling pretty sour about living with these issues as long as I own this phone.
I like this phone, and i am not going to sell it for a while, but i am a bit disappointed and i am sure that my next device will not be a SE, because i do not want to find myself in this situation again.
If their is a hell, you will get in to it if you sell your X10 to another. Just burn it!

Some comments are out of order indeed. But SE DID PROMISE something else than delivered. In the western world that is NOT acceptable.
I will not sell off my X10 just because delay in X10 software upgrade as hardware is more important for me.
I will still wait patiently for the Android 2.1 Upgrade.

I'm pretty sure most of us here purchased this phone with the notion that, it would be updated at the time that SE stated. No one here is being a baby for being disappointed because SE couldn't keep their word and I'm positive no one said they didn't like the X10. Regret buying ? Yes. Dislike the phone ? No.

Well luckily for you SE returned to the previous timeframe with the delay. They originally said that we would get the 2.1 update in Q4, then they moved it up to Q3 and now it's back to Q4.
So a release in Q4 is exactly when SE originally said that the update would come.

No MT? misprint.. OK.
Q3, come on its SE where talking about!! What the hell are they doing?? So ok Q4.
Expecting FroYo on an (half year old) HIGH END Android phone is NOT that crazy...
Come on man, they just launched the X10 in the US. With 1.6, HIGH END? I was expecting FroYo. I still am, not from SE. The only reason i'm not dumping it, YET..
Its like Alienware selling a HIGH END system with XP and you cannot install Win7 and no upgrades...
IF the phone was 2 years old I would buy the story. ITS NOT!
Maybe its because i'm used to pimp phones. My x years old Kaiser is running FroYo
Lets face it, SE in not for ME. Back 2 HTC for the hardware AND SOFTWARE capability.
The X10 is not made for nerds, its for the masses. I miss the good old flashing HTC's days

An official blog update is more then enough for me to take it as a promise.
just like the MT issue it was never stated on the blog that it had it so they could state it was never officially announced.
its exactly this kind of treatment which gives them a bad name. Why didnt they just keep it at Q4 originally?
Fair enough they would have been flamed for been Q4 but we would all be looking forward to it now instead of feeling let down.
I am even doubting a Q4 release now.
Expecting Gingerbread 3.0 on the X10 would be crazy but FroYo??

Yup, until my contract runs out in 3 months, then my son gets the X10 and I'll let him fret on when 2.3 gets released while I tap away on my arc
Gingerbread ftw.. wooohoooo
Sorry guys. But the Incredible S from HTC has a signed bootloader too. So crying to HTC wont reap you any benefits either.

Actually, if SE manages to get 2.3.3 running as well on our X10's as it's running on the arc, I don't really care. I wan't my phone to "just work", to cite iPhone users. Though I'll of course feel bad for the developers if SE decides to patch it, especially after seeing these major breakthroughs lately.
I don´t want my phone just to work. If the update from SE proves to be a crappy port from Arc count me out. I prefer to have a stable custom rom with little bugs than having a product that is just for show, that doesn´t perform nowhere near the Arc.
If SE is honest and gives us a fully working 2.3.3. very fluid and fast, then X10 will be fighting again with the big dogs.
If this update is just for patching holes and giving more locks then shame on you SE. If this happens and i buy another SE phone then shame on me. =) Although i can´t resist the looks of their models....

Edit: So this is pretty interesting. The Galaxy S International is supposed to get it mid April, which is pretty soon. The fact that they are already testing builds on Sprint is a good sign.

lol i'm almost dissapointed! i was looking forward to the CM7 build being created from the Nexus S rom.... almost but not. go sprint/samsung! i think getting a quick GB update would make the froyo debacle much more bearable. curious though... why 2.3 and not 2.4? i thought gingerbread officially made the transition to 2.4
Also gotta tell you few brave posters out there who were optimists about GB and its shortened development window were right. Wish I could remember specifically who it was but no more than 2-3 I'd guess, and I admit I wasn't one.
Lets hope it doesnt get released in a few months.

I agree, kind of. We had leaked versions of Froyo back in early November. Froyo wasn't officially released until mid March. Thats 4 months. Obviously there were complications (z4root) that caused major delays and the porting of Gingerbread shouldn't be nearly as difficult for Samsung, but . . . . you never know. If Gingerbread is launched officially in mid August, its still a major disappointment.

They haven't done much to deserve it. The least they could do at this point is confirm it to the public, not make people sit and hope.
Given the relatively short gap between these rdfs and actual updates in the past, I actually don't expect this to come months later. Maybe overconfident of me but the differences between Froyo and GB being supposedly much less than Eclair to Froyo, I think it looks good--maybe just weeks?
I for one will not be holding my breath

I'm holding out for next year as my work may be subsidising some handsets for staff, and they tend to be good on these things, I'm hearing up to 50% off from HR at the moment. Of course, I am also risking the handsets they have being old and grey...
But that's the chance you take when your sick of paying loads each month on a contract to get a good phone.
Back to the topic, Samsung's screens are just amazing. I was thinking about getting the S2 a few months back. I just never really was a Samsung person either and the Prime looks great. It's a real hard decision for me on whether to wait or get one now.
Specs look good, but not as groundbreaking as I was expecting from the new "Google phone". I suppose that might be due to the fact that most apps/games will run just fine on current hardware and they haven't really begun to support dual core properly yet. So no point in expanding the hardware when it will price the device out of the market for no real gains.
