  1. Will the updates are available to the x10 mini also…I’m asking b’coz it has the low processor that’s why ;( and very happy to see the updates atleast now….

  2. Xperia x8 users are not in xperia family……so why all updates for big devices….not for mid range devices…

  3. X10 is getting Gingerbread and its already available.
    And X8 also has just 128 MB RAM likd X10 minis this why it’s not gonna get any updates.
