Yesterday Sony Ericsson Spain said that they were going to push the Android 2.1 update for the X10 Series back to late October, and then Sony Ericsson UK said they would have it out late September.

Some like to make you think it’s for reliability test but I can tell you, there’s no such thing as “doing it properly” when engineers misses a deadline. It’s just lack of planning from the begining. There won’t be a… Read more »

HTC might have their act together as far as ‘rolling out the upgrades’ but they also have a lot of problems because they push the upgrades so quickly, they haven’t really had time to quality check.
