The minimum requirements for Android 2.3 Gingerbread are

MUST have at least 128MB of memory available to the kernel and userspace. The 128MB MUST be in addition to any memory

dedicated to hardware components such as radio, memory, and so on that is not under the kernel's control.

Device implementations MUST have at least 150MB of non-volatile storage available for user data. That is, the /data partition MUST be at least

150MB

SHOULD have at least 1GB of non-volatile storage available for user data

there is no CPU/GPU minimum requirements

I wish I could copy paste the OFFICIAL reason by SE but for some misterious reason those posts are gone, like this

I think Xperia Users deserve a better reason on to why their phones aren't receiving any future updates and NO it's not due to hardware limitations

Eh, we're only the customers who buy they're products and KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS!!!

I see they've got the resources to release lots of new versions that retire and replace the existing ones. My mini pro is buggy and slow and the battery life is terrible! I'm in a 2 year contract with 12 months left.

I haven't kicked up much of a fuss cause it was 'free' but you still pay for the handset through the contract. That and i know i can root it but heck SE, allocate some resources to improving the mini pro. I've seen 2.2 running on it and if xda can do it then i'm sure you can do something.

yes it can be done, but they don't want to invest on updating old phones, even though they want to be the #1 android company, it doesn't make sense even the iCrap update their old phones

guys if you want to have multitouch support,ability to store apps at sd card,android 2.2.3 and other goodies just go here and install the custom rom,i used this wich has been created by me and i have kyradroid 2.3.5 but i have no multitouch.

i have also created this but i dont believe you can use it.

if xda developers create an ice cream sandwich 4.0 for xperia x8 i will install it.

Why is this even an issue?

CyanogenMod have an extremely stable ROM for all three of the devices you mention, running on 2.3.7 (thats newer than the current SW Sony Ericsson have on their LATEST models..)

Googled it, and 25 mins later my dusty old X10 Mini Pro is running faster than ever..

Doubt SE could even make a SW as stable and fast as Cyanogen.

In the time you've wasted moaning about it here, you could have fixed your phone a dozen times, son.
