Rumours abound that Sony Ericsson might make the SE Xperia X2 their last Windows Mobile device.

A tweet by Eldar Murtazin, who runs mobile-review.com, low sales forecasts (on the X1 and X2?) are causing them to re-think their commitment to the Windows Mobile platform. The SE Xperia X3 “Rachael” has already been confirmed to be an Android device, but the upcoming X2 is launching with Windows Mobile 6.5.

Most people doubt Windows Mobile 6.5 will stop the steady market share slide Microsoft is experiencing, so let’s hope Windows Mobile 7 does the trick.

A fellow on the XDA forums has reportedly found a full-on Xperia X1 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. This is making many wonder aloud whether Sony may release an official ROM and make it available to X1 users. Others think it would lessen the appetite for their upcoming Xperia X2, which launches in October with 6.5.
