Hi MrJulius, if your talking about the Android 2.1 Eclair update on the X10 series, it is definitely very late. It just came out when the other Android phones are already at Android 2.1 long before the X10 series got it. The talk of the town nowadays is already on Android 2.2 Froyo or the newer not yet released Android 2.3 gingerbread. Hopefully, the SE Anzu with it's Gingerbread will break this non attention of SE to software development.
Cheers.

Quoted from
Mobile-Review:
Sony Ericsson X8 will quickly become the best selling Android handset from Sony Ericsson. An aggressive price of €175 coupled with a decent 3″ screen of 360 х 480 resolution will do the trick. On the other hand, Android fans will not be happy with slow updates and a different interface. The weird solution is interesting for SE fans and resembles an ordinary phone more. Traditionally, when sales go down Sony Ericsson does everything to decrease them even further. It sounds strange, but the facts point in that direction. X8 had all prerequisites for success, but the company made everything to avoid it. Details will be described in the review this week.
I agree with what Eldar said above in BOLD.
If only X8 (and X10 family) released with Eclair I'm sure it sales will be better.

+1. The X8 should had been released with Eclair out of the box instead of letting users wait for an update.

Indeed, i also agree with Eldar, the entire XPERIA Android family had/has all the hardware, and great software ideas, but SE realy let them down with the outdated Android OS versions and weirdly taking out multitouch
they are killing their own products.
X10 had the chance to be THEE Android phone of 2010, all the hardware is there, software is there but OS version 1.6 realy held all that back, SE better release Froyo as the X10 still has plenty under the hood.

The x8 is fantastic I love mine even it's fixed focus camera ain't half bad. By the way the screen res is 480x320 not 360x480 but I think it's better than the minis minus the camera & for once I have had no issues with it

here, more people using nokia phone than se phones.
nokia's dominance in the Philippines could change in the blink of an eye. They're already losing market share in the low end market to dual sim phones(a killer product here where 95% are prepaid subs) from myphone&cherry mobile. Now cheap low midrange android phones from samsung,se,cherry mobile&lg have come out with just the c6 from nokia as a contender. the x8 debuted in Manila at just over $270 (unlocked)-SE had to respond to samsung or get run over. feature phone sales in the midrange will lose a big chunk of market share to android next year. Not giving up my w995 though:-)
SE has to claw its way back up and they know it. Not sure if Nokia realizes they're not top of the heap anymore in Asia.

A bit biased but a good read nonetheless on SE's strategy.
Sony Ericsson in 2011, or Strategy Failure?! (by Eldar)
It also tlaks on Nokia's drastic decline in it's Market share.
