Sony Ericsson have just announced the future upgrade path of the Xperia X2. As you already know the handset will ship with Windows Mobile 6.5 but unlike the X1 the company is now promising several updates in the months following the availability of the product:
In March, we’ll launch our first upgrade (MR1). It will upgrade Windows Mobile from 6.5.1 to 6.5.2 (which will improve both the stability and usability of the device), it will bring in the use of video telephony, an FM radio and it will introduce fast GPS to get a quicker fix. As well as all this, MR1 will upgrade a lot of the applications in the phone to improve speed, usability and fix any bugs we find.
The second update will go live in May and this will be a big one as it moves Windows mobile onto 6.5.3. This is a significant upgrade in terms of usability, performance, power management and the browser experience.
That’s the extent of our plans at the moment but I’ll update this post as we make any more decisions.
Thanks. Aaron
(ps. Before anyone asks, no it won’t ever go onto Windows Mobile 7, it won’t support the hardware.)
Frankly I didn’t expect SE to do this. So, kudos to them for supporting the product especially after all the delays.
