HTC Magic users with Rogers (one of telco in Canada) might be the luckiest HTC Magic user ever. That’s simply because their smartphone will receive official Android 2.1 OS upgrade, most likely by end of August. That’s confirmed by forumer Rogersmary in Androidforum which is one of the the Canadian’s company PR team. The whole process to get the upgrade seems quite complicated. Rogers has to go back and forth to HTC for the OS development and testing, and it still required approval from Google, the Android godfather. Nevertheless, it is still way better than the rest of regular HTC Magic users on the rest of the world who still running on Android 1.6.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is one of the smartphone in my wish list (before I bough HTC Legend), but I have to put it in KIV at that time due to the phone performance it self . True, it is one of the finest and most affordable Android smartphone with 1Ghz processor and 3.7, 4″ touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera and etc. But sadly it comes with Android 1.6 and sluggish performance on the software side (based on review). What other Android model with this spec that you can get for RM1500, right??
When news broke that Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is going to get update, it is really an eye opener. But to the disappointing, it is not update to Android 2.1 or 2.2, but at least it will fixed couple of issue. It doesn’t specifically stating what kind of update it would be, but enough to say that the update is on improving the phone performance itself.
This update focuses on improving the general performance, speed and responsiveness of Xperia X10. For example, there are speed improvements in messaging tasks and camera UI. In addition we add a free back up and restore application so you’ll never lose your settings and information. In selected markets, PlayNow™ with premium apps and games will also be added.
The update is currently being rolled out now, OTA or you can hook up you phone to Wifi network, or install it from PC by visiting www.sonyericsson.com/update and follow the instructions.
