Sony Xperia: Delayed?

If you were having thoughts of a Sony Xperia X1a being wrapped tightly beneath the Christmas tree this year, you may want to update your wish list a bit. We are seeing strong indications that it won’t be hitting the shelves this week — and it won’t be until the middle of January ’09 before we get to see Sony’s Windows Mobile device.

Best Buy has changed its online listing from “Pre-Order” to “Coming Soon,” and Sony Style is showing the estimated shipping date as January 12, 2009.

If that wasn’t enough, those who pre-ordered the Xperia through Best Buy (including a few around here) are reporting having multiple gloomy e-mails about stock delays. If it’s any conciliation, the Xperia is still showing as a “pre-order” item over seas as well.

I've seen this phone in the wild several weeks ago in the UK though.???
what are you talking about? my brother got one a week or two ago at the local Fry's Electronics in southern California. i think the sony style stores had them also but sold out. maybe it's just best buy that hasn't received them yet...
