X2 to be launched in January

Hi All – Over the last couple of weeks there has been a few, OK more than a few rumours that the X2 is going to be delayed until January and I’m sure it will not come as a surprise when we say that these are well founded.

The software worked fine but when we started integrating it with some of the network specific apps it threw up a few issues which we’re working to fix.

It’s all minor tweaks really (extending the battery life and speeding up aspects of the software), but we want to be sure that when we ship this it is as good as it should be and that you don’t have to constantly upgrade the software as we iron out these wrinkles.

So… we’re launching first week of January. Really sorry if you were looking forward to getting hold of one before then but it will be worth it when we get there.

Thanks for your continued interest in the site.

Aaron

    Thank you very much for a honest update. I was in contact with the Xperia Support the last couple of weeks and each agent told me another terrible story.

    On one hand I’m a bit sad don’t call the X2 my own before Christmas on the other side I really appreciate that SE wants to be perfect with this phone and to turn the Christmas selling down.

    Well, I am interested in buying this device, but if the release would already have been it would be much cheaper in January!
    So I guess it would cost 600€ or less. But If you’ll release it in January and the price will be 700€, it is a difference of 100€, which is a lot!
    So I guess it would be more than important, to think about the price again!!!

    Interesting. Three days and no comments regarding the X2. Yet the thread regarding the lack of upgrade for the X1 has over a hundred posts. Hey, SE marketing, do you think your customers are telling you something?

    Failure to support current products translates to fewer customers for future products.

    I am really looking forward to have this phone. Although I can’t wait to get my hands on to it (as I repeatedly said that to many places) but I can manage with the delays. Why?

    Because every time I take a round to know other devices, I found myself returning to X2. It has lag, it has well not up to the mark processor (as many has been complaining) but I just see no other choice for me that I could proudly hold up in my hands.

    To my eyes, there is no other smartphone (other than X10) is out there that offering the complete package, design and size also included. No device is perfect but not every device is for everyone.

    IMO, the first thing someone and yourself too look into a phone is the look of phone, than the features. I want to have a handset that would pleases my eyes when I look at it, which I feel something when I hold it and which also takes care of my works the way it should be, and also making calls when its needed. X2 has just everything for me and I really hope when it will come to stores it will show its power to everyone despite an old processor or WinMo.

    Well wisher.

    Dear Aaron,
    When is the Xperia X2 going to be released in the US? I have the X1a and really love Windows Mobile, and am anticipating the launch of the X2. How much longer must I wait?

    always the same procedure:

    early rumors, annouced launch dates, postponing them and even the launch began, no phones in the stores.

    when will you folks finally manage it to release a mobile before xmas so people could buy ?

    no wonder you loose the market …
