blehh and others,

Sorry if you feel that I’m mocking you with more videos, that’s of course not my intention! I rather just wanted to keep you updated on whatever new material is released. I really understand that you of course instead would want the update rather than a new video but I assure you that people creating these videos and myself are not in any way involved in the work on getting the update out so it’s not really related.

.

Regarding the 497 SW referred to in some comments – that is as far as I know not the final release but rather a test release used for demos and such. How the people using it have gotten access to it is something I don’t know but it is an internal release and is also to some extent used towards journalists and such for trying out the SW.

.

“Rikard whu do you hate us?”,

First – Of course I don’t hate you and it was never meant as an insult, sorry if you feel that way. The video refers to what’s new compared to the current user experience with 1.6.

.

Kata, Motaz and others,

As I wrote in the post, I know that the video kind of says “update now” and that was in no way meant as an insult but rather a consequence of me showing the video before the roll out has started. I will rethink for next time but I still think that there can be value in showing you stuff that are on the early side.

Osama,

Regarding availability of the update in Canada. If Sony Ericsson in Canada say November I would guess that’s correct. What I have been trying to really highlight in all communication here is that this will be a gradual roll-out and that we will start the roll-out in the end of October. That unfortunately does not mean that your specific kit will be updated in October and it might very well be that SE Canada are right when they say November. I don’t have all details on all kits and it all comes down to market- and operator-specific approvals needed so I can’t give any exact details on Canada, sorry.

.

Law,

Would be a nice game of flip a coin, however I still wont be able to give a firm date, sorry. What I can say is that the plan still holds to start the roll-out before October is over, if the plan would have changed I would have told you by now! There will of course be a post on this blog as soon as I can give a date though!

.

Nayef,

Yes the mini products are on the same main software track as the X10 and will get the update in the same timeframe. It is however important to remind again about the gradual nature of the roll-out. All different software configurations needs to be locally approved and therefore the kits will roll out gradually across different markets and networks. Xperia X8 however will start it’s update roll out later this year.

.

Justas,

Angry Birds is a personal favorite for me and I just reached 189 of 189 start in world1! However as far as I understand there’s nothing with that requiring flash and there is no flash support in this update of the X10, as far as I know that requires Android 2.2, sorry.

.

Mr.Harry Topper,

If it was that easy I would do it.. unfortunately not my call and I’m not in charge of the uploads, sorry.

.

Petr,

I will, thanks!
