If the Sony/Google partnership is so strong, why is the X10 one of the last phones to get Android updates?

because it went out before ANDROID 2.2 was finalized

it does not mean that just because it was the last to get updates that it mean's their partnership is Weak, remember Google does not update Sony's software for them:P

There are numerous phones that are even older than the X10 and they are getting their upgrades much sooner. AFAIK, 2.2 isn't even announced for the X10 yet, 2.1 won't even be available for a while yet. The other handset makers seem to get their phones upgraded quickly, SE not so much.

while I 100% agree that SE not so much that is for sure, but they seem concentrated to improve that though.

Since SE support's more than just Android OS. but with this new partnership between Sony and Google and Tom is the Head of software development for Sony. they May have decided to push more support for Android thus support cycle would increase with more of a centric OS.Not say it will but their is a good chance.
