It may be true depends on your country. We already have a main 2.1 news, you could have post this overthere with more details.

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.

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.

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).
Anybody Knows anything about the X1a announcement?
maybe SE learned their lesson!
better to shut up then annonces a date that cant delivery! haha
It's early still. Give them sometime. I think the "press conference" was scheduled for this afternoon...also PST.
Wasn't it on the 5th??
They were supposed to annouce the release date for the X1a today.

Why are we surprise. Isn't that the way it is with SE?
silence, not an apology, not even an excuse, or lie...
This is beyond lame. Not even an excuse or anything? I feel like going and getting a touch pro more and more as each day passes.

Yea I thought it was Nov 3rd too. It's sony, they're always late
I’ve been lurking in these forums waiting to actually get an x1 before registering. But at the rate SE is going I really don’t know when that’ll be. SE is really dropping the ball on this one. Wasn’t this device developed in California and specifically intended for the US market?
If the announcement is this late, imagine what the release will be like

the Eu version is out there everywhere with Online Retailers. I am told 1900MHZ works in most locations for 3G and AT&T. No 3G for T mob yet....
Called SE here in US today. There will be an announcement sometime this week as to the X1a. And, no, the X1i does not have the 850 3G Band.

sweet. thx for the info.
Check this out engadget says that sony says it's going to be in the US by november
Still no sign of the X1a?
Hello? SE? X1a? When will it be released in the US?
Hopefully we will here something on the same press release that is due today for the W705. Apparently their last announcement for the year according to blog.se-nse.net
Sigh.....according to a poster on xperiax1.net, Sony Ericsson will announce 11/31. Maybe the 11/3 was a typo from SE and they meant 11/31 all along
quoted text follows:
Hey guys, well I emailed the US SE and this is what they had to say about an announcement date:
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Online Support.
The release in the American marker will be announce November 31st
If you require more information, or have any other questions, please visit our website at Sony Ericsson - Sony Ericsson or call us at 1-866-766-9374.
Best regards,

Obviously Francisco can't spell, so I don't know if I can trust this statement. It's more than likely just another stab in the dark from the people at SE
Ash snap, why so long? I need this thing now because my qtek dies when i make a call or SMS
yep It kinda sucks. Been waiting in the UK and being told next week for about 8 weeks, and then it comes out buggered up on the networks kinda sucks. If it was out a month ago I'd have bought i, as it stands, the touch HD is looking more appealing right now.... I can only imagine how galling it is to now be told it's 31/11/08 - It really would not surprise me if that date comes and goes with still no phone.
I think there's going to be a special treat for us to compete in the US android market against devices already on 2.2...
But maybe only in ny dreams
What do you people think?

If 2.1 is suppose to hit Aug 15, one would think SE would make the announcement already. One point six isn't that great of a selling point when most of the other phones have 2.1 or higher.

Why the 15th?
If there's a major SE event that date there might be something to it, August is in the third quarter.
The only major event is that they are releasing the X10 in the U.S. But they already stated it will be coming with 1.6
They are not just going to slip 2.1 in without telling us. We'll know when it's coming in due time.

Since most of SE's sales come from outside North America (I have no official figures, just stating logically) where their phones are bought for the actual cost and not subsidized by the carriers, I don't think that it really is such a big event for them. The world doesn't revolve around us ya know...

Yep, I have been a week in London and I was surprised to find so few cell phones shops (generic shops I mean, not operator shops). That was a bit weird as in Italy cell phone are sold almost anywhere (not by the butcher, though) and only a small percentage is tighten to a carrier contract.
vodafone in Australia looks pretty nice you pay 0 for the phone and $79 a month. I dont know if thats normal there but 0 for the phone looks like a good deal.

Rogers released it for 149. in the beginning.
I think this aug 15 thing is a false statement. They would have said something about it if it was true.
August 15th is the official release date for the Xperia X10a in the U.S.
Android 2.1 update will not be released until Q1 2011...
LoL @ anyone thinking that Sony Ericsson would actually release anything ahead of schedule.
If anything they will delay the release of the firmware for 2 weeks for for 1 month.
Don't expect the firmware to be released any sooner than November.

it was pushed backed again at least for ATT in America. Im not too sure about the rest of the world. Hopefully that is not the case.
Looks like everybody is trying hard for 2.1 update by coming out with new thread lol.
As per 2.1 update, it's going to come in September. I spoke to SE guy yesterday in Mumbai, India and looked like he was pretty sure about it. Just wait for few weeks and we'll get it.
I work for Sony and that's what we were told... like i said this is probably only relating to AT&T U.S. not everywhere else...
The devs need to get that bootloader cracked ASAP! lol
Highfive ashman! I totally second that!

$0 upfront is pretty standard here. the handset repayments are included in the monthly bill, until you start getting the the expensive plans where they make the money back through the plan. having said that, I'm pretty fond of mine. i'm on a $0 upfront $59 cap + $10 handset repayments. gets me $300 of calls, unlimited national text and mms free youtube, FB and myspace +2GB.
back OT, i'm waiting on september (or later, carrier dependent)
Just a heads-up to everyone. I spoke with AT&T, the Sony Style Store and online support @ Sony Ericsson they have all confirmed that the internal memory of the phone is exactly the same as the rest of us. Any advertisements that are stating 8GB is actually referring to the MicroSD that is coming with the phones that are exclusively sold through the SonyStyle Store. The AT&T purchases will come with a 2GB microSD.
Also, I asked about 2.1 and possibly 2.2, and I was told by Sony Ericsson support that all they have been told is that 2.1 will roll out later in Q4. That is what I was just told 5mins ago, so take it however you wish as we all know the reps at SE are not always the most informed for some reason.
Regardless, I am just confirming that the INTERNAL memory remains the same as the rest of us. NO 8GB of internal mem... sorry to bring bad news for anyone that had their hopes up....
yeah that sounds accurate, and for people who believe 2.1 will come with X10 in US before others, wrong, 2.1 will not come until at earliest end of september

Good Luck.. These people in best buy and reps on the phones know absolute poppycock as to when it will be released.
I hope for you that it is released, or you can easily use the qdl to get to froyo now.
Interested to see what is in the new build though.
Well it wouldnt hurt to wait another day. But if it doesnt come tomrrow then qdl it.
Been enjoying 2.2 since the second day I had my Streak thanks to the helpful people here at xda.

well.. kinda thought I would be right about this....
Best Buy... ATT Phone reps... Your local Radioshack guy...
KNOW JACK **** ABOUT ANY RELEASE DATES FOR UPDATES.
You can't even trust twitter updates from the companies either. You have three options..
1. Use QDL tool to go to Froyo now.
2. Sit and wait it out until it is released
3. Get another device that has froyo or later.
The worst part about streak owners not updating via QDL is that the software is NOT BETA... they are fully tested OEM unlocked roms!
When i was with the captivate, the cookers were hacking pieces together from 4-5 different froyo roms from different phones.. and it was still not as stable as the streak.

P. S. - Update on the update (2/2) - An AT&T rep was in the Best Buy store that I just visited. Another BB employee confirmed
yesterday (2/1) as the day the rollout started. Just then an AT&T rep walked into the store and the BB employee asked him "what's the story on the update for the Streak"? The AT&T rep verified that it was supposed to have started on 2/1 and he has not heard anything to the contrary.
Froyo Update not released on Feb 1 as I reported!
Crap!!! I spoke to Dell yesterday and they said the announcement about the Froyo update for
Feb 1 were wrong. They are still working on it!
Oh, well. I been snookered!
Oh give me a break. Att Rep, bestbuy employee bull****. It doesn't matter what they tell you. The have no clue about anything.
