  • New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
  • 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders
  • Social phonebook which automatically syncs contact pictures from Facebook and shows when your friends are online

Xperia X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro:
  • Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
  • New backup and restore application with extended content back up
  • Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
  • Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
  • Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1
Sony Ericsson further explains that the phone, in most markets, will automatically alert you that the update is ready and you will be guided on how to properly do the update using the PC companion software. The process would also allow you to back up your files, contact,s and whatnots and will be restored once the update is finished.
