For Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 lovers there is good news and that is the company is updating the operating system of the phone. The X10 is the first Android Smartphone that is equipped with a Qualicomm Snapdragon 1Ghz processor. The phone features a camera capacity of about 8.1 MP and it also supports GSM 850/900/1800 and 190Mhz. The Smartphone also provides the user with high speed internet and lots more.

Despite the presence of the above features this phone failed to match the expectations of a number of users and when it was compared to the other Android mobiles in the market it did not deliver what it had promised during the launch. This Smartphone comes with a much slower version of the Android platform and this is the reason why it failed to click with the consumers. The Android OS is only 1.6 that is a very old version and this is why the company is taking the major step to upgrade the OS for improving the performance of the phone. Sony Ericsson has decided to upgrade the Android OS of the phone to 2.1 so that it can at least compete with its other rivals in the market like Samsung and HTC that are offering a Android platform of 2.1 as well as 2.3.
