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.

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.
Salman Khalid.

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.

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).
Dear all, I was initially awaiting for the countdown of my DHD from Expansys, and supposedly its another 11 days to the 11th of Oct whereby our DHD will be released... But when I checked my order status just now, the estimated delivery date becomes 19 days... Is it that the system has problems, or is it that HTC decided to postpone the release date of DHD?
I'm expecting some sort of delay from HTC. I think we're probably going to be ending up looking towards the end of October for release and us actually having the handset in our hands.
MPD still says 11th. We shall see.
Jeez dont be saying that. I have sold my 2 phones and now working with an old Nokia which has the cover hanging off it.
I hope that aint true
If that is true i may have to go and buy an Orange San Francisco until then ...
T-mobile have delayed their launch it's in November now!
I've also put pre-order with mobilephonesdirect.com they were admant it will be 7th Oct.
In my past experience release dates mean nothing. There always seam to be a delay of some sort. I agree with the end of October being a more realistic time of this phone getting in my hand. I wanted it back on September 15th but good things come to those who wait I suppose.

I am in a similar position, using 9500 Commie with a semi broken keyboard
The release date will delay in Finland even further, or do you think that HTC has made enough phones this time to answer the demand?
I too am suspecting a delay .... there have been no reviews by any of the android sites which is normal a week or so before launch to gain interest for the phone and the blogging has been quiet as well.
Disappointed but not surprised, again it will be interesting to hear what the cause of this is. I am watching the prices of Desires on ebay as they are going down in price and am wondering whether the DHD is worth the differential!!
Hope
Hmm ive looked at quite a few different sites and no one elso seems to have changed their dates. So i hoping it is just a problem on expansys part and then everyone else will get their HD's in the first week or 2 of next month!
I can't see this phone being released by the end of next week. There are no solid reviews out. Normally release models have been sent out for review. As long as it's out for November 16th my upgrade date I'll be happy.

Hopefully they've just sold out of their first batch, and the dates on the site reflect the expected arrival of the second batch...?
Hopefully sub69
I called Vodafone tonight, they still have no release date for the Desire HD, but their Desire Z release date is November 1st. Somehow the guy managed to talk me into buying a Galaxy S.

Solid reviews? Have there been any yet. Normally Engadget are pretty hot with reviews and I'm keeping my ear close to the ground for any rumblings of hands on other than the leaks.
same here suffer with the nokia n85...
clove as same stock sipping date: "First stock due 6th October", i hope that it will stay the same.
My amazon.co.uk account says:
Dispatch Estimate: 11 Oct 2010
Delivery Estimate: 13 Oct 2010 - 14 Oct 2010 (to germany )
Clove still says 6th october for first stock - hopefully that will arrive on time and I'll get one of them
All Swedish online retailers I've checked have October 14th-16th as the release date, and that's how it's been ever since the DHD first appeared on those sites. It's never had an earlier date than that in Sweden.
My order at Expansys still has the 11th/12th October delivery date. Let's hope it stays that way
guyz..it's at least 2 years that release date of brand new hi-end htc devices it's the first week of november...

I also emailed SupereTrader and they said that they will arrive from the 6th to the 13th. So im hoping before the end of next week !
Was holding off with my order but have just ordered through clove.co.uk so hopefully will have my hands on this badboy next week!
Their website states the 11th Oct which is still better then Nov.
Yer im confused as to what to follow .... maybe 6th is the date but they are saying 11th just in case there is a lil delay
What difference does it make 6th or 11th life goes on, enjoy what you have and make a difference to someone.

I hope you do get it asap. But when I ordered the HTC HD2 from superetrader they advertised as in stock & immediate shipping 2 days before the actual release date. So I rang them & they said yep we have 3 in now for immediate shipping so I ordered & waited the next day & the next, so I rang them & they said that they hadn't had chance to pack it & post it. Another day went by & nothing, so i rang & same excuse.
3 days later when everyone else was shipping did I get mine.
I won't be using them again.
Hope u have no problems with them, I just don't believe a word they say.
Ahhhh shoot...!

SuperEtrader now quote an 11th October release date.
Shame, but I still keep finding new fun things to do with my HTC Desire, so maybe a little longer before I send it off to a new owner isn't too bad...
...
Nope, not good enough. I wish my new phone would f**king hurry up and get here!
clove in the only one that set it to oc 6 ? i hope so...
I'm fine with 11. That would be next week.
I went into Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U in Aberdeen today and neither had a clue when it would be in stock. One salesman suggested the end of November.
I accept there will be a delay between online and retail but even that seems a bit much.
I'm pinning my hopes on orange as I'm due for an upgrade now-ish. Hopefully they'll get their collective arse in gear and stock the HD before too long. However I feel I'm going to be waiting longer than I want to

My HERO is serving well with Elelinux V1.9 but it is time upgrade. The phone is starting to age very rapidly and I think it's slowly dying I can wait until november but I hope it doesn't slip.
Finally the Samsung update for Android 2.2 S Galaxy will come from throughout the month of November. We will keep you abreast of when the different versions available there for each of the operators.

This is a great new
When is venue pro arriving in UK? any one has an idea waiting for dell but it doesnt seem to be in UK.
play.com is saying 17 dec 2010.
clove is saying jan 2011.
expansy is saying 12 jan 2010.
dell.co.uk has not got it listed.
amazon.co.uk did have it listed for 17 dec 2010 but have now removed it altogether.
carphonewarehouse had it listed for jan 2011 but have now removed it altogether.
im hoping its on the 17 dec but cant see that happening as the US customers have not got enough stock so i doubt that Dell will release it here till some time in January (probaly mid to late january).
ps. i want the 16gb model but have only seen the 8 gb shown in uk websites.
Thank you.
Thank you for the answer. really appreciate your help.
Kind Regards
Vinay
The US launch has been delayed again to January, don't hold your breath for a January UK release. Probably something like March.
I have seen this happen before, never ends well.
All the customers get fed up waiting or pissed off with the way things been dealt with (letting customers know of the delay on the day they expect it to be delivered) and buy a different phone instead.
We have no solid solid idea when it goings to release here. Hard to say when UK will see it but it won't be too soon.
Yeh, after reading all the carry on with the phone in the states ive now cancelled my order despite having it ordered since the start of november!
Its ironic really that we in the UK got to pre-order the damn phone way before anyone in the states yet we end up waiting twice as long as those over the pond - royally p****s me off!!!
I will still probably buy this phone, but id rather have the cash sat in my bank than some other companies earning my interest!
The only good thing about this delay is that last week i had a sneak thief come into my house and steal my mobile -fortunately it was a crappy google G1 that barely works rather than a shinny new Dell Venue Pro that it would have been if the inept Dell hadnt messed this up so badly!
