Update is not available in the uk yet my phone says software up to date at 1.6

Got 2.1 on my X10 at 10:00 this morning. Finally!!! Been long enough but I've got to say SE have done a good job of implementing it. Like having a new phone. Lets hope they get 2.3 out sharpish.

(I've seen rumours X10 minis are not yet getting it?)

@danroyle - It might be worth checking you have the update tool set to check for updates when phone is connected. By default it only checks every two days...

Remember that - according to Mr Skogberg's blog comments - that it's only the generic UK firmware that's out. So the poor folks (like me) who aren't running an unbranded phone will have to wait until the teleco's get their finger out.

Oh, and if you're on Three then the position, (as of 1st November), was "we can confirm that the X10 will be getting an upgrade to version 2.1 OS over the next few weeks, afraid I cannot commit on a date at the moment." (according to the comments on http://blog.three.co.uk/2010/02/23/s...-king-in-2010/)

My jealousy knows no bounds ...
That said my "Rachel" is running fine, and not causing me much in the way of problems - be nice to be able to try out Angry Birds though. Guess when Three get that update to me it'll be something to look forward to.

Trust me - I understand. I've been wait for this update for months now. I think I must have visited the SE product blog about a 1000 times (and that is no joke).

And yes angry birds does work. Also if your desperate the XDA forums do have guides on debranding however personally I'd wait (as I have done since the nordic firmware came out on Sunday - XDA had a guide for flashing that - I don't to risk a £400 device for the lack of patience.).

mine is an orange but is unbranded mobile but i hooked it up to the se software and forced an update as it said it was up to date and it just reinstalled 1.6.

Am not too fussed can't use it at the minute am waiting for orange to send me an unlock code for it so i can use my t mobile sim but they said 2-14 days for it am on day 1, Hopefully i will get it and then the update will be out for me.
