With the release of Office 2010 for organizations, the mobile version has also been made available for Windows Mobile handsets. The Windows phone blog states that the app is only available for Windows 6.5 users, which would exclude the Xperia X1. However the Sony Ericsson product blog, has listed both the Xperia X1 and X2 as being eligible to receive the app for free, as well as the Aspen.

You can get the updated Office through the Windows Phone Marketplace. The 2010 version includes improved versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Sharepoint. It’s also touted as being more touch friendly.

Many X1 owners have been hoping and asking if the updated version of Windows Mobile will be coming to the Xperia X1. It’s now been confirmed that it won’t be. A Sony Ericsson rep has told Crave Asia that Windows Mobile 6.5 will not be coming to the Xperia X1.

Other handsets have already received the update but, if your an Xperia user, you’re out of luck. Unless of course, you upgrade to the Xperia X2, which comes with Windows Mobile 6.5 pre-installed. From a business perspective, it does make sense but, if you’re not ready to upgrade, or have recently got the X1 and aren’t out of contract, then I’m afraid you’re out of luck, officially anyway. The 6.5 ROM has been floating around, which you can grab from XDA-Developers.

There’s been some speculation over whether Windows Mobile 6.5 will become available for the Xperia X1 officially. There’s already been news about the updated Windows Mobile on HTC Touch Diamond2, Pro2 and Samsung Omnia but nothing about the X1. Some are sceptical about it, as 6.5 is due for release in October, when the Xperia X2 is to begin shipping. Could Sony Ericsson hold off bringing Windows Mobile 6.5 to the X1 in order to boost sales of the Xperia X2, which will come with 6.5? Well, while we haven’t got a definte answer, itje over at XDA-Developers leads us to believe that the X1 get the 6.5 rom. He’s gotten his hands on the official ROM for the X1 and is testing it out.

I GOT A REAL OFFICIAL 6.5 XPERIA ROM, YES, YOU READ CORRECT…OFFICIAL

The Build in the rom is a older 6.5..but what is important is:
-New XIP (real x1 nk)
-New OEM DRIVERS etc
-Some drivers from x2

Following on from the recent pictures we’ve seen of the X2 as well as those showing it next to the X1, we’ve now got a video of the X2 in action. The video is a bit blurry, but it gives us keen X2 enthusiasts a glimpse into how Windows Mobile will look on the X2 and run. The handset isn’t the final model from Sony Ericsson and features some bugs. One of which is the phone displays a low battery message occasionally, even when fully charged. The handset in the video also appears to have a low activity time out as the screen dulls often.
