We’ve got bad news for those who are still hoping to snag a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 before Christmas Eve. According to words to BGR from a Sony Ericsson concierge, the X1 will not be shipping until the 9th of January 2009. To further corroborate the delayed release, SonyStyle.com has already posted a shipping date of January 12, 2009.
Whichever date is true, it looks like it’ll fail to meet the scheduled Q4 2008 release date in North America. While this latest development may not bold well with Sony Ericsson fan boys, it does give hesitant buyers a chance to look at the other offerings currently available in the market which, at its price point, makes theBlackBerry Javelin or even the BlackBerry Bold a very decent alternative.
How about you guys? Are you still holding out for the XPERIA X1?
