Back in November an SE rep confirmed to me that it would get 2.0, and I won't know why not. I mean, are there any examples where SE shipped a phone with a version of a platform that was already outdated? Shure, X1 didn't get an Winmo 6.5-update, but not a single model from autumn 2008 got that, so what's the point there? Funny that people are complaining about Samsung with the Omnia and SE with the X1, while the Touch HD didn't get an update too and is from the same period of time. But hey, HTC is so great, because the Diamond2 and the TP2 (which got released at least five months later) did get the update..... Weird, isn't it?
And dozens of other less popular HTC devices didn't get the update either.

True, and I'm not about to start banging a drum for HTC, although across their range they have been known to provide free updates for some of their Winmo and Android handsets. Even before WM6.5, they updated some of their original WM5 phones to WM6, WM6 phones to 6.1, etc. Not all, but some.
It's a stark, solid fact that SE have
never provided a major OS update for any of their smartphones. Ever. Patches and fixes yes, but nothing more than that, and nothing on the scale of a move from Android 1.6 to 2.0 for example. That's not saying it won't happen for the X10, just that they have absolutely no history of it, no experience of releasing such an upgrade, and actually quite a few WM and UIQ users who have been disappointed by a lack of similar updates in the past.

Having said all that, anyone who buys this phone, or any phone, on the promise of an update is a fool. If you aren't happy with the features and functions of the X10 with the software it's eventually released with, don't buy it. Wait until it gets that update and supports what you want, or look for something else that does already. Otherwise there's no telling how long y'ou may be waiting for an update from a manufacturer who has, at the end of the day, already taken your money, given you a (hopefully) working phone, and really owes you nothing more.

Exactly. My sentiments exactly. If I buy the X10, I am not at all expecting to see any type of Android 2.0 update. If I don't buy the X10, I'm not expecting to see an Android 2.0 update. Given SE's history in software, I just don't expect it.

Ok, that might be true (not really into the history of such things), but I guess in none of that cases SE said they would update and in none of that cases the newer OS was already there on release.

What "SE said" tends to become a very subjective thing over time - in the build up to every new phone there are always a lot of quotes and hearsay flying around, and yes, I'm sure that at various times in the past it's been thought that SE promised various things that never transpired. But it's fair to say the newer OS wasn't already there on release, because in the past SE tended to use the latest version in whichever phone they were releasing
Even if the 2.0 update is a dead cert, and coming sooner rather than later, what about 2.5, or 3.0? It's worth thinking about, with a phone like this. By the time the X10 is released, 2.1 may well be a couple of months old, Nexus One owners are bound to be preparing for their 2.2 update or whatever comes next - given the level of customisation on the X10, are SE likely to keep pace? I'm guessing it's a no.

I do not want to make a list of features that X10 lack which I think it should have but I can't help it. SE does not seem to listen. With the announcement of the Apple 4G just few months away and ever increasing Android powered cell phones that are in the market and are going to be announced, how can X10 be a success? It lacks features that Iphone 3GS has, last year's top phone. Aside from the Mediascape and Timescape, what else X10 has to offer? Perhaps, a 4" inch WVGA capacitive screen with 265K colors, an 8 megapixel camera and WVGA resolution recording capability, and of course, powerful 1ghz snapdragon cpu.
The list features that I posted few pages back is X10 needs in order to stay revelant in the high end market plus the netflix integration and PS3 remote software, X10 would be definitely and undeniable a device to have for in 2010.
