Rogers Wireless on Sunday confirmed via Facebook that it will offer the Google Android 2.3.3 update to its Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 customers:
We will support the update and make it available to our customers. We don’t have timing yet, though. Stay tuned.
The upgrade will offer most of functionality of the Gingerbread platform, as well as some Sony Ericsson specific features. Among these are the new Facebook inside Xperia app, the customizable horizontal app tray and the media experience widgets first introduced this year on devices such as the Sony Ericsson arc. Contrary to original plans, the original camera UI (Éclair version) will also be kept.
Sony Ericsson began rolling out the Gingerbread update last week. It warned that not all carriers would offer the upgrade. Kudos to Rogers committing to this latest update.
