Sony Ericsson pushes Android 2.1 upgrade for X10 family back to 'late October'

Big surprises, eh? Sony Ericsson has been playing fast and loose with its calendar yet again, as it has just announced that the hotly (and by now angrily) anticipated upgrade to Android 2.1 for its X10 family of devices won't be happening until late October. We were given the gravest of assurances that the end of September  would be the time our tragic wait would end, but nope, apparently "we need a couple of more weeks before we are ready to start the roll-out
." Just so we're clear, this isn't Android 2.2, which is Google's current highest iteration and has been around for months  now -- this is the upgrade to 2.1, aka Eclair, aka the software that's not too far away from its first birthday. SE is trying to console users with promises of HD video and continuous autofocus bundled into the Xperia X10 update, but then there's also word that different configs of the phones will get the update at different times. So don't be surprised if your French-speaking X10 Mini is still doing the Donut deep into November(source)
