Sony Ericsson says XPERIA X1 still on track to ship in Q4

Rumors of the XPERIA X1 being delayed to 2009 have been floating around forever, and the chatter's only gotten louder at IFA -- to the point where Sony Ericsson's been forced into damage-control mode for a second time, telling Reuters that "there is absolutely no delay" and that the company's first WinMo phone is "on target" to "roll out in Q4." That's not quite the "second half of 2008" SE's been saying since the X1 was announced, but it's still in the window -- and given the half-baked nature of the devices we got to play with at IFA, we'd say taking a little extra time to get things right isn't the worst idea in the world, even it means missing that rumored October Vodafone release date.

Darn! We are only talking about a European release date here. So the North American markets will be looking at a mid 2009 or early 2010 date? I guess I'll stick with Omnia, hopefully that has a more realistic NA release date.

Talking about Omnia, anyone have any optimistic US release time frame?

I really need this phone to come out mid december or late spetember, that would help me out alot since my contract on my phone ends september, and my sisters ends december.

winmo... why?

The Xperia and the Omina just don't appeal to me anymore.

Yeah,

Because other than the increased screen resolution, what exactly does this offer over the HTC Touch Pro?

and forget the xperia at this point just get a touch pro. cant wait til thats out

I'm not sure how this helps, as they may say its on target for Q4, but given Sony Ericcson's track record so far with the xperia X1, does this mean Dec 31st? This is not even addressing the fact that the US is going to be waiting forever of course.
