We plan to bring an upgrade to Android Gingerbread for the Xperia X10 to generic trade kits end Q2 / early Q3 this year.
well that's good news, nothing to do with the malware scare for devices running any Android Version less than Froyo 2.2.2 then, and people stuck in 18 - 24 month contracts?
Will any functionality from the previous software version disappear by doing this upgrade?
Yes – the work is still ongoing so details will be communicated closer to launch but these are the current expected limitations:
* The current plan is that the XperiaTM X10 will get the Android standard Camera user interface and therefore features like e.g. face recognition, smile shutter etc will be lost.
* Moxier is replaced by the gingerbread native EAS functionality.
* Mediascape is being replaced by the media experience widgets and music player included in our new 2011 products.
* DRM keys for protected content on your phone will be lost in the upgrade process.
* The Sony Ericsson Backup and Restore client is not supported in the Gingerbread version and will therefore be lost.
* Support for bi-directional languages will be reduced compared to the latest version of the 2.1 version of the XperiaTM X10.
