This makes so little business to me. Sony Ericsson launch a great phone, and totally fail to give it the support it needs. Even though the coming update makes the phone even more attractive, a lack of Froyo 2.2 means that it fails to compete with the best phones from other manufacturers. Sony Ericsson are losing potentially 100,000s of customers and potential customers with this strategy. Its bizarre.
Even still, the X10 makes a great phone for games, and media playing. But its the saving-apps-to-memcard and pinch-zoom functions that leave it trailing. Even if their next Android phone rates better than all the others, the hard-done-by customers won't be very forgiving. A capable phone, ruined by incapable decision makers.
The reviews when it came out said that it lacks the hardware needed for pinch to zoom, might be what is stopping them investing anything in the X10?
