X10 Mini/Pro?

Will the Minis get an update? They were supposed to get them at the same time as the bigger phone, and did indeed get the 2.1 update prior to this one. I know someone who's been waiting for 2.2+ for aaaaages.

meh

I think that when my contract is up I'll step the hell away from SE. Their updates are laughable and every time they announce something, a day or so later they say it was premature and that they need more time and then it vanishes.

Not forgetting install-to-SD

The internal storage in the Mini Pro is a bit wee for a phone that can't install to SD.
