Windows Phone Thoughts: Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X2 Delayed

"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."

Stop the presses. The launch of the XPERIA X2 has been delayed. Following the infamous delays that marred the launch of the XPERIA X1, we were pleasantly surprised by Sony Ericsson's optimism that the X2 would be good to go for an early Q4 release. Fast-forward to today, late Q4, and the X2 is nowhere to be seen. Well, the company now seems to think that the Windows Mobile 6.5 device will definitely be ready for the first week of January. As for us, we're not holding our breath.
