Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Active is due to be released in the UK at the end of the month and it shouldn’t be too long until the handset is available in North America as well. The Xperia Active has made it’s way on to the FCC site complete with photos of the handset. The documents include external photos of the handset, as well as internal pictures of the Xperia Active. You can also read the test reports from the FCC or check out the “My first hour” Xperia Active manual.

Whilst many are extremely upset with Sony Ericsson with regards to them announcing that they will not be releasing any more Android updates for the Xperia X10 range and X8, those in America on AT&T are still stuck with 1.6, as the Android 2.1 update has not been approved by AT&T yet. It’s now been leaked that AT&T have an end of life date for the Xperia X10, which is penned in as March 6th. For those who did picked the handset up, this will come as another blow as it’s quite possible that AT&T will stop approving any minor updates Sony Ericsson release for the X10, although this is just speculation. If that is the case though, hopefully AT&T will manage to release the Android Eclair update to their Xperia X10 owning customers.
