While we're sure there's at least a few folks that'll be pleased to hear that Sony Ericsson's eagerly-anticipated XPERIA X1 will launch with Handango's InHand service on the device, we're guessing there's a tad more people that'll be interested in the other little detail revealed in the company's recent newsletter: that the X1 will apparently be launching in mid-September. Of course, we'll still have to wait to hear from Sony Ericsson to know for sure, especially given some of the launch date confusion in the past, but this latest word is at least in line with the company's most recent statement that the X1 launching in the second half of 2008, so it might not be such a crazy idea to start counting down the days.
"the X1 will apparently be launching in mid-September. Of course, we'll still have to wait to hear from Sony Ericsson to know for sure"
There have been many instances where SE has told a release date for sept 2008... Even if you ask their executives they will answer the same... Few week after X1 was announced (few months back), I got the same reply from SE at a Mobile Expo...
Plus many insiders have also confirmed this...
So till now, according to SE, X1 is indeed to be launched in september and no for SE to confirm this... They need to confirm if they delay it...
;)
The "September 2008" information has been known for a while now.
Damn, I can't wait that long. This Tytn II is going to need to be replaced before freakin September. I guess I'll be getting that Toshiba G910 after all.
If this is true, i'm just going to get a 3G iPhone. Especially if the $200 speculation was accurate. I'm going to assume this phone will be around $400-500.
the url below show a high resolution pic of the x1 and the calendar app shows september 24, 2008...my guess is that that's the release date...???
