I recieved the same email as well..

Wow, that sucks. Even SE reps said clove.co.uk would be the first retailer to ship unlocked units to customers as soon as tomorrow! I wonder what the issue is now, most likely either a major software malfunction or they shipped the wrong units that don't have 384MB of ram

dont expect to get it at end of October!
i getting used to SE lies!
i expect when end of October comes, new date is end of November!

Hope they still annouce the US version on the 3rd then.

ya. announce on 11/3/08.
real date on store, summer 2009? haha

Time to let Sony Ericsson hear your thoughts... start out with Xperiancers (run by a SE team including Magnus)...
I just posted this comment on their launch post: (hopefully they will reply)
Hi,
Clove has sent out e-mails that SE has delayed Xperia till the end of the month and thus it won't be available now. Is this true? if so, then it really sucks!
The set was "officialy" launched on the 30th of last month. Over 10 days later, still no final Xperia device has been seen, and no store is yet offering it on sale - i.e. having it in stock.
Furthermore, there is not a single page that details the entire specifications of Xperia in detail. The whitepaper that was recently linked to on Xperiancers was also from back in May. Does Sony Ericsson even know how to market their phones and how to detail them? Because from where i'm sitting, Johnny X seems to be the only marketing campaign at the moment and it is completely useless.
Over a month back i was determined to purchase Touch Pro... then i switched to Xperia and decided to wait. But now i am getting really impatient with Sony Ericsson and lack of any final device reviews and availability and this after 2 weeks of the "supposed" launch of Xperia.
Is there any chance that Xperia will be actually launched/availble within this week or early next? Or is it actually delayed?
I have to say that i am extremely disappointed in Sony Ericsson at this point and have pretty much lost confident in it. Even the demonstration video by Xperiancers done a few days back is on a prototype/non-final device which is what the demonstrator continuously states at the start and end of the demonstration.. Maybe i should just go for some other smartphone?
Hopefully you'll have enough decency to supply us with an insight on when actually will Xperia be available. I don't care about where it will be available - may it be UK or on a remote island - but just tell us WHEN WILL XPERIA BE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE?!?!?!?!?
Best Regards.

y even bother with that site! they LIE just like SE!
"X1 is shipped on 9/30/2008 from factory as scheduled!". (not exact quote, but something like that).

Actually it probably has shipped but my guess is that it has gone to the carriers (Voda, O2 - maybe Orange - lol!). The carriers do not bring it out straight away as they are busy branding the phones with their sh*t - Orange and Voda are well known for that (Orange will even drop a phone if it can't put its software on to it).
O2 as far as I know don't brand it too heavily - hence why they may well be the first carrier out with it on Monday ( I have already seen adverts in Oxford Street). The carriers take priority and then the online outlets get their slice later....

You know, i think you are right... i have seen O2 claims that it'll be launching Xperia early next week and Vodafone is slated to release it by the 17th.
So maybe, it is stores such as Clove or Expansys that are delayed.

so is clove or expansys, they claiming to have it on week 10/6/2008,
then next week.
now is end of october,
and then it will be november!
i really getting tired of SE LIES!

Me too, it doesn´t make any sens to wait for this for phone I will skip it, the only thng that SE can s to delay this this phone every week, time to wait for another phone

I still believe the swedish release date will be tomorrow. I'll be informed tomorrow morning IF it has been released and maybe I can try it out for a couple of minutes.

As far as i know, Expansys, Clove and other such sites have been delaying. But those launching against a network - like Vodafone or O2 - they are staying steady on their launch date.
Update:
Just got this from Clove - after i sent 'em an e-mail inquiring about the availability for Xperia. I also sent one to Expansys and will post their response too when they send it:
"Hi Salman, we have received news today that the release of the X1 has now been delayed until the end of this month. However, we have been assured that we will be among those receiving the first models once it is released. If you would like to place a backorder now you will be in the priority queue for a device. However, we will not charge your card for the order until the machines are in stock and ready to be shipped."
Now this here is a big concern for me... as i was looking forward to purchase Xperia within next week. Now it seems that it won't be available.
I would have probably waited longer, but phones don't come to Pakistan that quick after they are available, and my window for purchasing was via my brother who is travelling to UAE next week. Now i'm back to the same question; "To wait or not to wait? Xperia or some other?"
Update 2: But see, this guy gives me hope...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434822

thankfully my existing contract doesnt run out till march. Im still gettin an X1 as soon as they come out, ill just pay my contract off

Xperia is definitely launched in Sweden... When will it be available at clove or expansys? i don't know, but i'm certain that networks will be launching as planned.

Sounds as if it was an extremely limited stock that was released to Sweden though. To be honest I think they were still making some last minute changes in the face of known deficiencies - for instance on one recent video the reviewer said it came with the SPB Shell Panel, whereas MR's review unit did not have this.

Spb panel must be downloaded from SE`s website. (It is free.) It is not pre-installed on the device.

Thats what I thought, but not according to the video where he says it was pre-installed... Who the heck really knows, waaay too much conflicting information around this phone (theres a lesson in there for you SE).

I pre-ordered my phone November 17, 2008, Have no recieved it!!!!

I ordered it Via SonyStyle.com

and
I've also received two other Xperia delayed notifications but my stupid brother deleted it from the email!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is past November 25, and I haven't received it!
So I check on the SonyStyle website and it says that it is out of stock until December 8, 2008....
I also called Sony, and they claim that they are shipping it. What liars, I am suppose to get mine on the 21st. WTF? Seriously you guys! Stop ****ing buying the phone and give me a chance to get my unit!

???
Shouldn't you be complaining to them and not us?

he just want to share with us...

i dont want to seem to be rubbing it in but i ordered mine on the 24th from sony and got it on the 29th. i ordered the u.s model x1a. which did you order, us or euro
oops, didnt really read your full post. i guess you did order an x1a. maybe yours will come with some updated firmware or some software

that's why i got mine from other web site!!!!!

Anyone receive their Atrix yet?

I got a call from At&T about a problem porting my number from Verizon (yes I am making the switch back). I mentioned they could not port yet as I don't have a phone because it is on pre-order. Cust Service said that I would be receiving it in a couple of days. I got the call yesterday so i am hoping to have my shiny new Atrix tomorrow or the next day.
Could be Cust Service has no idea what they are talking about but you can only hope

If that is the case I might pre order through att instead of best buy then...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this section of XDA - I've had a Captivate for some time (4 of them actually) and have been quite dissapointed at times with it. Overall a great phone, but lots of un-necessary issues (imo) I just pre-ordered the Atrix 4G today and was told I could recieve it within the next 7-10 days at the soonest... I really cant wait to see what the devs here on XDA will cook up for this killer phone (based on specs). If the dev support is anything at all like it is for the Captivate - this is gonna be a great ride with the Atrix 4G

I am hoping we get alot of captivate devs to switch. I know there is a good chance that the bootloader will be encrypted, and that might keep the ROM chefs away, but I really hope we find away around it. i am going to be submitting as much of my capabilities to the effort, but I am new to android. I have done a small amount of program development on iOS with jailbreaks. so hopefully I can help.
Also, as I have said before, Devs are the lifeblood of these phones, and I am willing to put my money out there as a substitute for my experience. I am willing to help any motivated devs by donating $20-$40. Hopefully we can get a rich community surrounding the phone. that way when i am still using it 18 months down the road, I will still be happy with it.

I didn't get that email at all and I preordered on Sunday morning when the preorder option first popped up. I did get my confirmation email right after preordering and another email today ( 17th) , but not the one you have. Am I still going to get my atrix on the 22nd? Or did something get messed up?

I freaking hope so...it's my birthday! lol

I just received shipped email and it is showing delivery by 3pm on 2/21.

When I did the checkout on the AT&T site it told me it's scheduled to be delivered on or before March 6th... if people are getting them as early as the 21 or 22 I sure as hell hope mine arrives around that time as well.

tracking attached.....

does anyone know if the package will require signature? i may have to leave work early to be sure i'm home for this bad boy if that's the case.

Usually says if the signature is required or not for the tracking information, so it looks like no signature required.

I'd be seriously pissed if FedEx left it on the porch without signature and it got stolen after waiting for this phone. Good thing it's a holiday and I'm working from home all day!

I opted to have mine shipped to the att store - just incase i wouldnt be home when FedEx showed up. This way i dont have to worry about it being left on the front step and sitting there

You know, I was looking for that option and didn't see anything about it. Where was this option during online pre-ordering to have it shipped to a specific store? Maybe next time I pre-order I'll be able to do this.

I didn't see it either. But most likely, you could simply call after placing the order, and have the CSR make the change for you.

[OFFICIAL] February 22nd Release Date (Update:Pre-orders shipped!)

http://briefmobile.com/official-atrix-4g-release-date-february-22nd
EDIT: It's official now! Release date on the 22nd. Shipped orders to arrive on the 21st!
EDIT: Pre-orders before yesterday are now shipped! They will be delivered on the 21st!

I'd like to think its legit, but there seem to be so many people pulling hoaxes these days for attention. On a positive note, I've gotten a lot of at&t phones on launch day, and I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 wasn't on a Sunday.

True true. Everyone wants to make a picture that shows up in the news. This one looks no more legit than the last.

Which means AT&T has 6 days to fix this backorder issue, or preorders are going to get screwed.
People will walk in-store and grab theirs, while we wait at the mailbox for our preorders.

Haha perfect.

I work for AT&T, I haven't seen that message that is going around about early release yet but it looks legit. It mentions internal systems that we use and we have all the price tags up in store. It's rare for use to put a spot on the wall for a phone that is several weeks out.

its been years since i've posted on XDA back when I had my HTC Fuze. Moved onto a Moto Droid 1. I am getting this phone the day it comes out! i hop ethis rumor is true.

Thanks for the post!

Message seems legit, though I haven't seen this email passed amongst the ranks of store employees yet. That would be very awesome if it comes to be true, I can't take another day of my Samsung Moment and Sprint's poor coverage where I live.

The wife and I have our upgrades on the 26th, I hope you guys have a chance to wring this thing out for 4 days before we go get ours.

Holy crap I hope this is true. I am about to throw my Fuze out of window

I didn't realize how many of us are still clinging to our fuzes.

It also looks like they finally fixed the Premiere store for people wanting upgrades. Yesterday it would only let me upgrade to an iPhone (any variety) and some crappy Nokia. This morning it allowed me to upgrade to anything.
Here's to hoping that it really is the 22nd!
Oh, and anyone want an ATT Nexus One?

My Email to Rogers if they will have the Silver Color.

Me:Hello, The Xperia Arc launches on the 28th, I was wondering if it will come in a Silver color as well? Or only black/blue?
Rogers:Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us, we appreciate your use of online customer service.
In your recent email, you were inquiring if Rogers has any plans to release the Xperia Arc in Silver.
I would like to inform you that we presently do not offer this wireless device and are not aware of the colors of our devices prior to launching the device.
We would ask that you continue to check www.rogers.com periodically for launch dates of our upcoming wireless devices.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me again at www.rogers.com/contactus. Alternatively, you may also contact Customer Service by phone at 1-888-764-3771. Their hours are of operation are from 6am to 2am, Eastern Standard Time, 7 days a week.

...but we won't answer you question but put some generic replay template and send it to you.
It OK! they may sell it and reveal it after launch on 28th. it may be exclusively to best buy? here in the US this is what would happen. any other color goes to Best Buy.
We will see.

i just asked the same question over at redboard.rogers.com, just waiting for a reply now.
6 more days til launch

Rogers' Customer Support E-mail service never actually helps you with anything as far as my experience goes with them. I'd try calling the customer service and see if they fare any better, but if not, release is just around the corner anyways...

How do you guys know for sure it launches April 28th on Rogers? I heard from a rep its May 2nd.. but not sure if he knew 100% either

Bah at least you got an answer....
I think i subscribed 3 times already to their pre order thing ( yes great programming there.... ) and never got the call on the week of the 15th or anything since then
Plus I called the Customer Relation departement two , three times to see if the reason I wasnt contacted was because I'm not eligible to an upgrade and couldnt get a stupid answer...
They won't even speak of pricing or anything , even less release date, even tho Rogers officially announced it.
The only bit of information that I managed to get was:
"It is launching before May"
So i doubt the may 2nd date is valid =|

well if it helps confirm that its the 28th, i pre-ordered mine from a sony style store and they are getting it for sure on the 28th, which would mean rogers will as well.
i had a chance to play with it in store the other day, man is it fast! i had an iphone 4 and an atrix prior and to be honest i see no difference in speed between dual cores and single cores. maybe a second or two delay in opening heavier applications but thats about it. either way, cannot wait till thursday
