Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X2 is being rolled out, and the fine folks at SE have shared their plans for software upgrades. Come March, Windows Mobile 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 upgrades will be released, and will include video calling, FM radio, faster GPS locking, and overall stability improvements. Then in May, the X2 will get Windows Mobile 6.5.3, which made its first appearance at CES last month. And what about the elusive Windows Mobile 7? Looks like X2 buyers will be out of luck – Sony Ericsson says that 7 won’t support the hardware. The new OS will run on an ancient i-Mate just fine, so why can’t the X2 handle it? Pre-release rumours even rumbled about the X2 being capable of the upgrade. Even without 7, the X2 is a pretty impressive device: 8 megapixel camera, 3.2” WVGA OLED touchscreen, custom-built Panels interface, and 512 MB RAM, it’s just that 7 really would have been the icing on the cake. Check out our hands-on for a closer look at the X2.
