“Rumors of the XPERIA X1 being delayed to 2009 have been floating around forever, and the chatter’s only gotten louder at IFA — to the point where Sony Ericsson’s been forced into damage-control mode for a second time, telling Reuters that “there is absolutely no delay” and that the company’s first WinMo phone is “on target” to “roll out in Q4.” That’s not quite the “second half of 2008″ SE’s been saying since the X1 was announced, but it’s still in the window — and given the half-baked nature of the devices we got to play with at IFA, we’d say taking a little extra time to get things right isn’t the worst idea in the world, even it means missing that rumored October Vodafone release date.”

“Sony Ericsson spokeswoman Merran Wrigley has confirmed, as we have stated ourselves, that the launch of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has not in fact been delayed to January 2009
“There is absolutely no delay. The product is on track. We have said it will roll out in Q4 and we are on target to do that.” said Merran.
The evidence for a delay were flimsy at best, being simply an un-updated website that was rapidly corrected, and the musings of largely uninformed SE reps at the IFA conference. With the device already widely circulated and even with the ROM in the wild, there is no reason to believe the device will not be here in October, as is widely expected.”

“Sony Ericsson introduced the Xperia 1 model in February, saying it would start to sell the phone in the second half of 2008 in selected markets.
On Monday, and over the weekend, several technology blogs and Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter reported of delays in product roll out, quoting rumors and unnamed sources at Sony Ericsson.”
