X10 2.2 Update from Official Source

[aLPaSLaN07]

SE Turkey Support Center has replied that mail , as the answer of "when will x10 get 2.2?" Since it is in Turkish you will not understand what it says and let me translate it for you.

SE X10 will get the 2.2 update at the second quarter of 2011. Works are still going on for 2.2 version. For further info , you may visit bla bla..

So Q2 2011 is the date..

Edit 1 week later

They have sent another mail about that mail (the one above) saying that:

"We would like to correct the statement that we have told you in the previous mail about Android 2.2 version. The information that has been given to you by SE Customer Service is not true We are sorry about the misinforming..

I guess Jeff's investigation worked out Cheers

already have 2.2 on mine waiting for next version of AOSP that TeamX10 are working on. I dont want another SE ROM on my phone unless i have to have one

Thanks for sharing that anyway, it will get many people excited!

SE X10 will get the 2.2 update at the second quarter of 2011.

What means it will be around q3 2012...

But that's great news, imo! I think they want to make amends for all the delays with 2.1.

Well... 2.1, then Dual-touch, then 2.2... Sounds like an almost apropriate "excuse-us" for me.

hmm...the words i got is different, so i would recommend not to put up all hopes to the words that they gave out. I will try to confirm from my side too whether the info is correct. This is due to the new handsets are pushing out with 2.3. Also, the end of life cycle of the X10 is Q1 2011, and SE usually doesn't bring out updates for its product after its EOL (Same policy with all companies). Thanks for the info though!

I thought I saw on their site product life was 2 years.

Yes. It is two years indeed.

 

[aLPaSLaN07]

So how much time do we have until EOF then?

 

[im_iceman]

Well.. x10 was born (in the UK at least).. end of March 2010.. so... March 2012.

 

[batman_112]

Well.. x10 was born (in the UK at least).. end of March 2010.. so... March 2012.

Yep. March 2012 seems like the correct date.

 

[skyleth]

correct date for warranty, but cell phone companies doesn't produce the same phone for more than 1 year, with some exceptions of course.

 

[im_iceman]

We're not talking about warranty - SE have committed to support the X10 with software updates for 2 years.. so it would go "end of life" March 2012.

 

[unknown13x]

Yep. March 2012 seems like the correct date.

EDIT: OK i found your source on their site. EOL for retail will be in March, but support wise, who knows. It will be UP to 2 years, but I doubt they will push it that far with the rapidly changing Android version.

Given my limited Turkish, I think it reads something more along the lines of:

Ha! fools - do you honestly think you're going to get 2.2 in this lifetime. As an absolute best, products we release in 2011 may get a 2.2 upgrade, providing it is at least 3 or 4 steps behind the current Android release​

Like I say, my Turkish is pretty poor, but I think that's the gist of it...

I think you have it reversed, Warranty is 1yr, support is 2 yrs.

"This Limited Warranty will last for a period of one (1)
year as from the original date of purchase of the Product"

Great. I have been a SE user since 1997 (Ericsson prior to 2001). All of my phones since that time have all been SE with the exception of a few months using Alcatel. My most recent phone was the C902i which was released summer 2008. I have had a firmware upgrade 3 times since then. The most recent one was back in March or April of this year. You can say all you want about SE being late releasing updates but, they do not abandon their phones. Unlike Samsung, which my wife uses, who abandon them a few months after release. They may have changed now but, that is my experience with them.

Actually Sony Ericsson started in 2001

just to let you know as you might got confused with Sony itself or Ericsson

Yeah sorry. I meant Ericsson which then became Sony Ericsson. Thanks

 

[se_dude]

I think we should better lobby with SE to release the 2.3 update rather than blabbering on about Froyo, given SE have already spent their resources on upgraging to 2.3. Would be a viable thing for them to do as well.

Yep thought so

Missing Ericsson from the 90s

I do believe the next Xperia will be 2.2 and updated to 2.3.... or they might jump onto 2.3 in their X12

woah woah woah, calm down please, I have not mentioned ONE WORD about SE being late. All I'm saying is whether the info is correct. We (SE and I) have had times where the customer support are not well informed. We've seen MANY cases here since before the 2.1 update. I never said SE will abandon their phones either, but internal people (like me) would know when the EOL of each handset is, and they only last 1 year. 1 1/2 AT MOST. Aino got extended due to the new Classic edition release, but they're the only exception so far. So please don't start bashing on me, I was just suggesting and warn about the info, not to bash on SE.

I do believe the next Xperia will be 2.2 and updated to 2.3.... or they might jump onto 2.3 in their X12

The devs got 2.3 update since last weekend on the new handsets. SE skipped 2.2 and went straight from 2.1 update-1 to 2.3 on the new handsets (Our X10 will still receive the update-2 however, the update-1 on the new handsets was only for debugging) So MR is already wrong on their facts, and I'm not surprised since Eldar isn't the one who wrote it.
