The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 which comes with Android 1.6 on-board, is not getting Android 2.1 until the fourth quarter of this year.

The Sony Ericsson Product Blog says the following improvements will be coming at the end of the year:

• Upgrade to Android OS version 2.1
• HD video recording as per the same execution as Sony Ericsson Vivaz
• Wireless home connectivity via DLNA
• Improvements to signature applications Timescape and Mediascape to make them even smarter and richer

Keep in mind those would be great improvements if they were coming today but by the last quarter of this year, is shall we say ridiculous! Almost a year after Android 2.1 came out it will be ready for the Xperia X10, give me a break! [SE Product Blog]
