Finally, it's here. Android 2.0.1 (or 1.6 if you prefer) has now been ported to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 thanks to the folks over at the xda-developers forum. It is still in its early stage, but we'll take whatever baby steps we can. As of the moment, the following are working:
1. touchscreen
2. keyboard
3. button pad
4. radio (GSM)
5. GPRS / 3G
6. microphone
7. charging
8. market
9. wifi
10. idle sleep mode
11. Turn Off LCD
12. Keyboar Slider
13. Phone Shutdown
14. Horizontal view
Whilst these are the features currently not working for the ROM:
1. bluetooth --> soon
2. camera
3. GPS
4. brightness LCD --> soon
If you want an early dose of Android on a Sony Ericsson you can wait for the guys to finish and successfully port a working android. But if you can still wait (which is not too long), there's the X10 to save you all the trouble, and sources say that the X10 has been delayed due to the fact that Sony Ericsson has updated the OS to Android 2.0 instead of going for 1.6. Nice indeed!
P.S. If you were able to watch the video on that source link, you can clearly see that the person who's behind all this is a Filipino, and I for one am a Filipino. I am proud to be one too!
