Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 release date

Looking forward to the release of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, it seems there's still a little bit of mystery as to it's release date. If SE leave it much longer then newer better Android phones are going to be out, which is a bit of a shame as it looks like the X10 could revive Sony's fortunes somewhat in the smart phone arena.


It was good to see Sony going a little open source by using the Android OS, opening it up to the Android Market and also ditching their own memory sticks in favor of the MicroSD format. The only disappointing thing is that it looks likely to be released with Android 1.6 and not 2.0 or 2.1. Hopefully it can be updated to the newer version of the OS.

Release dates for the phone vary from 19th February on play.com 19th Feb on play.com, to 22nd April on expansys.com. Latest news reports rumour 1st March as written on mobiletoday.co.uk.

Sony say only that it will be launched in Q1 of 2010. Either way, if SE hang around much longer they could blow this opportunity. Hopefully it means it will be uber-bug free though..... hmmmm.... waiting in anticipation.

An example would be: protected void Application_Start() { Database.SetInitializer<yourdbcontex>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<yourdbcontext>()); AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } However when using the Database.SetInitializer and trying to rebuild the database, the following exception may be encountered, especially if using SQL Server Express: "This operation requires a connection to the 'master'...
