It is an economy phone...the 600mhz processor is to be expected. It is a sony product, so outdated firmware and empty promises of upgrades are to be expected.

Seems like exactly what you would expect the x10's little brother to be.

Yep that's pretty much what every company's standard seems to be today: hold out on updates and screw the consumer, except that Sony's better, way better at it. No, unless a phone comes out with the latest and the greatest I'm not buying it, period.

Everyone makes you wait...but to release a phone in 2010 that does not even have 2.0.1 is downright criminal. I guess they want to guarantee that everyone who buys one gets root...that way the warranty is void...a huge savings when you make hardware as poorly as Sony does.

Just think of those people with the first android phones who can't upgrade because the CPU/Screen/Memory are not sufficient...at least they can say, "I have the same version of android as the best phone sony makes"
