Sony Ericsson is planning on releasing an update to the Xperia X10 smartphone range this week. Currently the handsets are running on Android 2.2 also known as Froyo but with the update they will soon be running on Android 2.3, Gingerbread.
In response to a query posted on the manufacturer’s official Facebook page, Sony Ericsson commented “The launch of the 2.3 software for X10 is getting closer, and the planned release date is approx. week 30. The date could still be changed, since the launch is depending on operators’ approval. The software will be rolled out continuously, just like the earlier 2.1 release. The exact launch date is depending on market and operators’ approval, so it will unfortunately not be possible to give precise information on launch dates for each market/operator. You will get more information once the roll out has started.”
O2 has confirmed that the Gingerbread update will roll out this month.
