A new firmware update is avaible for the Sony Ericsson X2. The update will be distributed through the Update Service client found at sonyericsson.com/update.
Here’s a list of highlights:
MR1 is built on a new core platform release from Microsoft including a newer version of IE6
Stability improvements are everywhere with focus on SlideView, Panel manager and TileWave
Performance improvements focused on rotation and touch performance, the camera, web browsing, the software keyboard and audio streaming
New features are added like FM radio, Video calling, Auto-lock and Fast GPS which allows for a faster first fix to the GPS signal
SlideView 2.0 gives better usability throughout with a fresh design; and new actions are build in like new/reply/delete/edit capabilities in messaging and calendar. Music scrolling/searching and the mini-player have also been enhanced
The new dialer took a big step forward with four easy buttons giving easy access to the dial-pad, favorites, call activity and contacts. We increased the target hit area in contacts for finger friendliness and added user friendly redial functionality
Based on feedback from you, we really worked hard on the software keyboard (XT9) by improving speed and touch responsiveness
