Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will get Android 2.3 Gingerbread in August

June 20th, 2011

Back in March, Sony Ericsson delivered some very good news for those of you who own an Xperia X10 . The company changed its mind then, and contrary to previous statements, said it would be starting work on updating the Xperia X10 to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. A few months have passed, and today Sony Ericsson has published an update on the status of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Xperia X10.

Motorola Droid 3 / Milestone 3 announced in China as Moto XT883

June 17th, 2011

Motorola has officially announced its third-generation Milestone Android smartphone – unfortunately, it did it only in China. The Chinese version of the handset is called Motorola XT883, and looks exactly like the Droid 3 / Milestone 3 we’ve seen in the leaked photos appeared in the last few months. The XT883 will be available starting the third quarter of the year, being offered by China Telecom (the only Chinese carrier that still has a CDMA network).

LG Optimus 3D officially released in Europe, probably without Gingerbread

June 17th, 2011

Announced way back in February, the LG Optimus 3D is now finally ready to hit the market: LG has officially confirmed that the smartphone is launching now in Europe, and in “more than 60 markets around the world over the next several weeks.” I was hoping that LG delayed the release of the Optimus 3D in order to upgrade it to Android 2.3 Gingerbread – however, it looks like this didn’t happen. The press release announcing the handset’s launch doesn’t include any reference to what version of Android the Optimus 3D runs (in fact, it doesn’t include the word Android at all), so I assume it’s still 2.2 Froyo, as it was in February. But fret not, an upgrade to Gingerbread will be made available eventually

Here’s one for you featurephone lovers, smartphone haters, or both. Orange UK has a new own-brand featurephone up its sleeves, and it’s calling it the Atlanta from Orange. At least there’s some consistency there with regard to using city names for own-brand devices.
