Sony Ericsson unlocking bootloader for some 2011 Android phones

Sony Ericsson has announced that it will be taking a more flexible approach to unlocking the bootloader on its Android smartphones, though the functionality won’t be available until later in the year. According to Karl-Johan Dahlström, Senior Program Architect at Sony Ericsson, certain models of the company’s 2011 range – including the XPERIA Play, Arc, Pro and Neo – will offer an open-bootloader option for flashing third-party firmware.

Basically, Dahlström says, if you can connect your phone to the Fastboot tool in the Android SDK, you’ll be able to unlock it. The original X10 will not be eligible.
