It’s been a while since Sony Ericsson released Android 2.3.3 for the Xperia X10 and for a while there, we thought we’d never see it. In the UK the Android update has been rolled out to generic unbranded handsets and network branded handsets, except for O2 branded ones. O2 were always quite slow with the uptake of the Xperia X10 updates but, none the less they have confirmed that their Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 owners will be getting Android 2.3.3, aka Gingerbread on their devices.

OK, so the Xperia X10 may be old news now and will not have any further Android updates above 2.3.3. However, Rogers have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 on a rather tempting price plan.

Rogers are offering the Xperia X10 for $25.50 a month when taking out a twelve month contract with them. Minimum pricing is $32.35 a month. To put that in perspective, the Xperia Arc is available on a one year contract but, the actual handset will cost $499.99 and $449.99 if you go with a two year contract.

Availability of the Xperia X10 on this offer, is only while stocks last.  If you’re interested in this offer, head on over to the Rogers page here.

The latest Sony Ericsson Xperia home launcher as seen on the unreleased Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray has been leaked and is available to download and install as an apk. There isn’t much difference between the current launcher and the updated version but, there are a few added touches which will improve the Xperia experience.

By clicking a button while in the menu you can uninstall apps by pressing the “X” button. When viewing the Widget overview the widgets now float and when you shake the phone, the widgets fly over the screen.

Not only does the new home launcher work on the Xperia Arc, Play and Neo, it also works on the Xperia X10. You can download the apk from here and install it using a file manager such as Astro.

The day that Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 owners in the US have been waiting for and perhaps even praying for as there were many times when we didn’t think this day would come at all for the x10, has arrived – Gingerbread aka Android version 2.3 is here!

Gingerbread for the Xperia X10 brings the Facebook inside Xperia feature which basically integrates Facebook into your handset, USB tethering, app tray sorting and the ability to use the X10 as a portable WiFi hotspot, amongst other features.

In order to update your X10, you need to use the Sony Ericsson PC Companion software on your computer plus you need to own an unbranded version of the Xperia X10 handset – the update is not yet available for the AT&T locked handsets.

After months of waiting, the Android 2.1 update has finally been released in the US for AT&T branded handsets. The update was initially released October 31st and information followed shortly saying that because of rigorous testing from AT&T, the update could be months away and months away it was. After 7 months after the initial Android 2.1 release, Sony Ericsson are close to releasing an Android 2.3 update for the handset.

The update doesn’t bring any added features that other countries didn’t receive. The 2.1 update increases the number of homescreens from three to five and also adds the abilitiy to record videos in 720p.
