Following on from the Xperia X10 being spotted in image form on the O2 website, CoolSmartphone have had news from an unnamed source, that the whole X10 range will be headed to O2. Sony Ericsson recently announced the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro, which complete the X10 range. Again, O2 have yet to confirm this and unlike the X10, they haven’t been spotted on the O2 website yet. If the X10 Mini and Mini Pro are indeed coming to O2 though, it’s very likely Vodafone will be offering the full range of X10 handsets as well. We’ll keep you posted on further updates.

Over on the O2 website, the Xperia X10 has made an appearance  leading to further speculation that the carrier will be providing the Sony Ericsson smartphone at some point in the future.

The X10 has previously been spotted on the O2 website by coolsmartphone when the model appeared in the accessories section of the site and now the X10 has appeared on the O2 ‘smartphone hub‘ page, in image form at least but, with UK carrier Vodafone already due to offer the X10, these little teasers from O2 are giving the impression that the android handset will indeed be available on O2 in the UK.

If you’ve been experiencing problems with your X1’s bluetooth recently, it seems you’re not alone. Brandon from PocketNow has reported that the bluetooth on the X1, will randomly turn it self off and isn’t staying connected to other bluetooth devices. Many are waiting for a fix from Sony Ericsson, but in the mean time, an XDA developers forum member, scar45 has provided his own fix for this problem.

To temporarily solve the problem, he’s written a MortScript which checks the status of the bluetooth every x minutes. If it finds the bluetooth off, it will turn the bluetooth back on. You can download his fix and instructions here.

One complaint among X1 users, seems to be that using the X1 with one hand proves to be quite difficult. One of the reasons being that there isn’t a finger friendly keyboard, the QWERTY keyboard needs to be used for replying to messages etc. There also isn’t a Start menu button.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is now available in Germany on the O2 network. The X1 will be available on a contract or as a pre-pay phone. A pre-pay Xperia X1 is available for 619,99 Euros or on contract for 349,99 Euros. The contract is for 24 months costing 30 Euros per month.

The X1 will be available from T-Mobile and Vodafone D2 later on this year, hopefully with a more consumer friendly contract.

Those eagerly awaiting Sony Ericsson’s first Windows Mobile OS-powered smartphone will be glad to know that the Xperia X1 is finally arriving in O2 in November. Reliable sources from Register Hardware confirmed the November availability date and even said that the Xperia X1 would only be available through O2’s brick-and-mortar stores. Meaning, it would not be available for order online.

Unfortunately, the source did not mention any specific date in November, so you may all have to guess which day in November the phone will arrive in O2. The source didn’t mention anything about the O2 price as well.

But for those who don’t want to get it under O2 may still check out the pre-order page over at Expansys which promised to deliver the Xperia X1 on November 1. Just be prepared to shell out around $1023 for the smarthphone though.

A keen eyed o2 customer has seen an ad in an o2 catalogue showing the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and has sent it in to coolsmartphone who have posted this scan up:

If you cant wait to get your hands on an X1, it could be well worth your while checking out the o2 website where the phone is now listed but, it isn’t actually possible to buy it yet. It could be available at any time though so it’s one to bookmark.
