Mobile Phone News

TmoNews has it on good authority that the entire line of myTouch 3G devices — the original, the 3.5mm jack update, and the Slide — will get upgraded with Android 2.2, as evidenced by a fascinating shot of a pamphlet the site has posted. Users of the older devices will also get the same Genius Button functionality that was just rolled out on the Slide, along with the updated Faves app and full Microsoft Exchange support, breathing new life into a phone that first saw life as the Magic well over a year ago. We don’t have a timeframe for the updates other than that they’re “coming soon,” so we’ll keep an eye out.

declare to the world in early November last year, the Xperia X10 has been Sony Ericsson’s paper flagship device for a good few months at this time, and unfortunately the latest official word seems to confirm that the wait will be even longer. NTT DoCoMo has already stated it’ll launch the handset in Japan this April, and T-Mobile has at this time also gone official with an April timeframe for the X10’s German arrival. Guess we can consider that February 10 “expected launch” in the UK dead and buried by this point. It’s all rather lackluster in our eyes — we’ve seen HTC produce the devastatingly versatile HD2 and even the Nexus One in the time it’s taken Sony Ericsson to iron out bugs in a UI we suspected was too ambitious from the start. Let’s hope the final product is worth the wait, eh?
