No Windows Mobile 6.5 Update for Xperia X1
Techtree News Staff, Nov 20, 2009 1725 hrs ISTIs Sony too busy concentrating on Android?
Sony Ericsson's once flagship handset is well on its course to doom now that the handset maker has confirmed that the device won't be getting a fresh lease of life with Windows Mobile 6.5.
The company has confirmed that it will not be offering an OS update to the handset quashing rumors of the same. This would be undoubtedly be a big blow to the users of this device which until a few months was the one of the most expensive Sony Ericsson handsets one could buy. While the update to WinMo 6.5 wouldn't have made it anymore spectacular than it is now, it certainly would have been given the handset a fresh lease of life. Sony Ericsson already has the Xperia X2 on sale - which is believed to be the last WinMo powered device from the company. Sony Ericsson seems to be too busy concentrating on Android and the likes of the Xperia X10.
While unofficial WinMo 6.5 ROM updates for the Xperia X1 are already available, using them would come with its own share of pitfalls since they would have issues with the old drivers of the X1. So, is this the official goodbye to the Xperia X1 from Sony?
