Even though the Android 2.1 update has so far only been made available to X10 owners who have Norwegian handsets, or SEUS Pro account holders the folks over at XDA-Developers have found a way around this. In fact two ways around it have been found. Unfortunately neither method works for the Xperia X10a, so folks in Canada or America are out of luck for the time being. However if you have an X10i, there are two ways to get Android 2.1 quicker than what Sony Ericsson are releasing.

For folks who haven’t got SEUS Pro, we’re still waiting for Android 2.1 on our X10 handsets. The Sony Ericsson blog page has also gone down, presumably with the high amount of traffic they’ll be receiving from people checking on any updates from Rikard Skogberg. There also appears to be a lack of support from Sony Ericsson both on their live chat and Twitter, leading some people to believe that Sony Ericsson aren’t hard at work this Halloween evening and if non SEUS Pro users will get the update.
