US release dates

Firstly, apologies for the delay – there were some last minute changes to the arrangements which meant that the original announcement had to be put back.

The Xperia X1 will be available in the 43 Sony Style stores across the US on November 28. The pre-orders will begin on the 13th via the Sony Style website.

CNET has posted an in-depth review of the phone here, it includes an excellent high quality video and I recommend you check it out.

    I must admit that I am shocked and disappointed by SE. Sony releases a phone that does the same thing as the touch pro, but has a little bit nicer design and you charge way more money for it. At a time when Sony’s main competitors are putting out there top phones you simply price yourself out of the race. I am a die-hard SE fan and have owned several SE phones but I am just shocked at how naive SE is behaving when you release a phone with no carrier and expect people to shell out $800 dollars for a phone that is CLEARLY not worth that amount.

    Will your company provide a carrier i.e. Att, T-Mobile, etc.? Eventhough I like this phone paying $799 is a bit much.

    sigh….well, good luck to the few folks who pay $800 for a phone that should’ve been available for $299 through AT&T. I’m truly sorry to see Sony botching xperia so completely. This really is turning out to be more like a CLIE walk away than I expected!

    Be seeing you,

    So can we actually hear from Sony Ericsson about the release? Also what about other countries like Australia?

    Out of my price range sadly, any reason as to why isn’t not being subsidized by a carrier. I have AT&T and was excited till I heard it was only available unlocked.

    @Sam Oakley – Are you aware if there will be a U.S. carrier picking up the Xperia X1 at or around the time of launch? Thanks!

    Hmm $799? Does it come in packages of 3?
    Sony will probably sell a whopping 3 or even 4 handsets by the end of the year here.

    Give a good deal to AT&T to subsidise this phone, do not be greedy.
