Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Wait Xtended To January 2009?
The unthinkable has happened. Well, the completely expected has happened given the chequered history of this cursed handset from Sony Ericsson!
Oh, I can’t stay mad at you, Xperia X1. You know how I feel…
Even though some have been able to cop a feel at all manner of trade shows and promo events, even though delays and release date rumours have been debunked at every turn, even though some managed to see a golden Xperia at a London party on the 27th of August (whatever happened to our invite, Sony?), our serious contender for smartphone of the year has been delayed to 2009.
The ominous date of January is beside the Xperia on the official Sony Ericsson shop, and with no word from Sony to the contrary we reckon it’s definitely delayed this time.
Rumour is that due to a disappointing performance of demo handsets breaking (due to the unbridled power of Windows Mobile) at a Berlin trade show this week, the Xperia has been put back into the oven to make sure it comes out as an HTC Touch Pro beater.
Disappointing news, but with vivid memories of the buggy mess the P990i ended up as after a rush release, take all the time you need to make this one good…
