Sony Ericsson rolls out updates globally to Xperia X10 and X8


The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and X8 line of smartphones receives their next software updates! The update was first experience in Japan and now SE officially rolls them out globally. It is expected to give Xperia X10 and X8 users bug fixes on their current OS (Android 2.1 Eclair) needs.







Both Xperia lines will be updated but the X10 will get Pinch to zoom touch. Below are snippets from the SE blog about what the update will contain.

The two highlighted additions in this update are:
  • Addition of some bi-directional languages (Arabic, Farsi, Thai and Hebrew) – All products.
  • Pinch/zoom touch for mobile Internet and Google Maps. – Only Xperia X10.

Besides the highlights above I have been trying out the X10 with this update for a while and seen some other nice improvements, some of these can be market and operator dependent though:
  • Moxier in an updated version (2.7.13) that includes a great overview widget for e-mail, calendar and tasks.
  • Moxier e-mail shown in Timescape.
  • Possibilities of trimming videos in the phone.
  • Videos are transcoded to fit into MMS-messages even if they were recorded in high quality.
  • Minor changes to Mediascape with access to “Now Playing” in the top right corner.
 To update your Xperia phones you'll need SE's PC companion (for some markets) and other markets might get it OTA.
