Sony Ericsson giveth, Sony Ericsson taketh away. More than three months after we reported that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 would be getting an Android 2.3 update, the manufacturer has revealed more about the Gingerbread roll out plan for its flawed flagship phone, and it appears it will remove features as well as add them.

It’s time to kick off your morning with a full serving of tech news, squeezed fresh daily. In today’s US Update we take a look at the Sony Ericsson boot loader unlocker, update you on the white iPhone 4 release date and even reveal Motorola’s upcoming 7-inch tablet. Let’s begin, shall we?
Oh how I feel for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 owners who ponied up the funds to support their manufacturer of choice. Unfortunately SE does not share this admiration as the company has released the promised boot loader unlock with one key omission: the Xperia X10. Only 2011 SE models have been treated to the unlock, so for now that party includes the Xperia Play, neo, pro and Arc.
Stop the clock – week over. Well, not quite: just before you head out the door, check out our headlines from this afternoon and see what you’ve missed in tech, whether you’ve been hard at work or patiently queuing for Apple’s new tablet.
Do your eyes deceive? No good sir/madam, they do not. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Sony’s flagship Android phone of 2009 (and 2010) is officially getting an update to the latest build of Google’s operating system for mobiles, Android 2.3 “Gingerbread”.
Before you pull out the party poppers though, know that Sony Ericsson is already doing damage control, going on record to warn users that “some of you may not get this upgrade.” Hmm.
It’s that time for your daily dose of tech news from my side of the pond. In today’s US Update we cover the latest software updates including: Skyfire 3.2 for Android, Ovi Maps 3.06, Google Maps for Android and the Xperia X10 and X8 update. We’ve also got the scoop on Texas Instruments big mobile announcement.
The highly anticipated update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and X8 is now rolling out. According to the SE product blog, the update for the 2010 family of Xperia products can be done using PC-companion or via an over-the-air update, depending on your market. Alas, pinch to zoom is upon us.
One of the few smartphones that comes close to matching the massive screen size of the HTC Desire HD is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. On the face of it, the Xperia X10 and the HTC Desire HD are similar in many ways, portability and weight wise especially. But the HTC Desire HD is also going to end up pricier than the Xperia X10, by around £5-10 per month on contract. So what do you get for your extra cash? We’ve put the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 up against the HTC Desire HD to decide which is more deserved of your dollar.
