Hello guys we are very sorry for not updating you, our beloved customers. Our developers finalize that on june 15, 2011 the expected Gingerbread update will be out. After this update our developers will focus on other models such as x8, mini and mini pro to be updated on 2.3

Hi all,
Removed a fake comment.. Like Shaggy said: It wasn’t me..
Sorry for keeping you waiting – I hear you! Unfortunately as I said in the post around Facebook inside Xperia a while ago I’m still waiting for the final details on scope to be able to get a more detailed post out on Xperia X10 Gingerbread. Will take a while longer before it’s all final but not more than a few weeks tops. Timeplan for the actual update being released is still around the shift from Q2 to Q3, i.e. end of June or July timeframe.
Should really just delete this thread, since it's a known fact that the x10 will get an update, and the only relevant part turned out to be false, this just makes people get their hopes up for no reason.
Damn, for 1 minute I dreamed with that.
hi read this & understand what they say
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/03/25/update-on-xperia™-x10/
Will you upgrade the XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and XperiaTM X8 to 2.3?No, we have no such plans. We have had to prioritize our resources and have therefore focused on delivering the upgrade to XperiaTM X10.

Hi,
Any one cracked andriod 2.1 or 2.2 for Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro...?
Nope don't think so. I think this forum would be the first place it'd be posted
2.1 is officially near, suspected in the next few weeks according to Sony Ericcson Russia, which have tweeted (Translated into English) - Android 2.1 Xperia update is close.
They then later tweeted - much closer than you think.
This means it is expected to be released towards the end of Q3, and that there should not be any delays.
Note: I got this from the xperia x10 blog, which is keeping me up to date at the moment.
Sorry it's so late guys.

Just stumbled upon this thread...i KNOW it's old, but I had to mention for any future stumblers: The original poster GOT THE NAME WRONG.
He meant the xperia X10 mini/mini pro.
there is a new SE phone out called the Xperia Mini/Mini Pro (no X10 in there).
so, although it is retarded naming by Sony Ericsson, make sure that you are not here looking for Xperia Mini Pro stuff, but rather, Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
OK... I could not reply to a thread in the developers section as I have less than 10 posts but I have been reading through the forum for some time now and one member here interested me when he stated that he contacted the SE hotline in France and they confirmed to him that X10 Mini Pro would recieve the 2.3 update.
just call'em and you'll see.
They haven't been working on froyo but now they know that they can do a good ROM for the SE mini pro so it's comming soon.
the numbers to call Xperia custommers service is just right there...

Well basically I have done the same thing but in the UK and have confirmed to me that they will NOT be giving further updates for the X10 Mini Pro.
I believe the only thing we can do is concentrate on cracking the bootloader.
Let's stop kiddings ourselves here, armv6 doesn't support flash 10.1 and multi-touch is really not ideal for such a small screen for the X10 Mini Pro. I can see why SE would not bother updating our handsets.
Well im talking about new launching xperia mini & mini pro NOT xperia x10 mini & mini pro
Guys i have a suggestion..... Let me know your views.
Well i think this way,
Since SE is not planning on giving any upgrade to xperia x10 mini & mini pro...But is going to give it to the new xperia mini & mini pro which SE is launching.....
I think we should all convince SE to give out an offer for existing xperia x10 mini & mini pro users to exchange their xperia x10 mini & mini pro for new xperia mini & mini pro (which they are lauching or i guess launched in some places) @ a minimal cost say between 20% - 50% of the new launching xperia mini & mini pro or whatever we all agree on???
Cant we trying doing this....?
XDA has lot of members & i think wid all this no. of members we can atleast try???
There's already rumours about the 1st gen mini & mini pro getting 2.3.
The newest source (Vodafone Australia Blog) has said they could be working on it within 6 weeks or less. So things are certinly looking good for those who have the older xperia range.
This is recived 2 weeks after it was announced that the x10 would get an update to 2.3 due to demand.

Odd, why would a carrier just drop a whole range of phones like that?
and oh yes, i heard it from vodafone staff too when i first bought my MP. but i didn't buy it too long after the 2.1 update, so i wasn't too fussed about the software, the design was what sold this phone to me
and then... i found you guys and all was good!
but now (mini pro) we have the full 5MP camera (not sure if the mini has it yet) in our custom roms im not sure that there is a point to getting it as on the x10 they didnt even update the kernel so i doubt there woould be any benefits unless they enabled multi touch further than we have from slades driver (e.g 3 point or the full 7)
Already have it.
Yeah to have the official one would be nice.
it's an aquired taste, some people don't want all the extra in the roms like Cyanogenmod. and just want the official upgrade
