I'm not all that concerned. I see a noticeable increase in battery performance with what I've done. I don't want to get into all the customizations associated with rooting. I'm not that keen on wrangling with the technology.
Oh, and I've been reading that Sony Ericsson has made the decision not to upgrade the X10 past the current installation of Android 2.1. They cite reasons of their UI setup making it too difficult to upgrade further. Of course, you can call bullshit and point accusingly at their shiny new Arc that might come loaded with 2.4, but whatever.
It looks like I'm stuck on 2.1. It will be fine for the most part. My only real concern is not having access to certain apps down the road. What are the implications of this? Are most apps going to be backward compatible?
