Sony Ericsson X8 gets Eclair!

XPERIA junior the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 has joined the X10 party and getting the Android 2.1 Eclair update. Just like the X10 minis, there are some additional improvements to the X8 software.

• New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
• Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
• Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
• Improved web browser
