Users of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 who have been wondering if their smartphone will be upgraded to Windows Mobile (WM) 6.5 can finally stop obsessing over it. Putting the matter to rest, a Sony Ericsson spokesperson told Crave Asia that there will not be an official update.
There has been speculation regarding the availability of WM6.5 for the X1. This stemmed from an Xda-developers discussion in September started by a user who had gotten hold of a 6.5 ROM for the device, prompting rumors that Sony Ericsson was working on an update.
In any case, we don't think this is big loss. Aside from some interface tweaks, some of the most important features like the My Phone backup service and Windows Marketplace for downloading third-party apps are available for WM6.1, too. But if you insist on having WM6.5 for your X1, it's still possible to install a cooked ROM from Xda-developers. The procedure isn't exactly idiot-proof, so don't dive in flippantly as you may risk spoiling your phone. Click here for our roundup of devices that come with WM6.5 officially.
