The update to Android 2.1 has started for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.  Due to the global coverage of the X8 the timing of  individual handsets are dependent on approval as and when they arrive.  Check the following link for the ‘SI numbers’ of those handsets already approved.  Additional ‘SI numbers’ are added continuously as soon as new numbers have been approved.
