Sony XPERIA X2 delayed until January

sony-xperia-x2-keyboardThe Sony XPERIA X2, one of the more advanced Windows Mobile-based smartphones, has been delayed until Q1 2010 due to bugs.

“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,” said XPERIA X2 Product Manager Aaron Duke. “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.”

Duke continued by saying that the fixes being applied are minor–battery life improvements and Ux fluidity–but confirmed that the product was being delayed to remedy the bugs before shipping, rather than later through constant firmware upgrades.

The XPERIA X2 is a tri-band UMTS device compatible with AT&T’s network. It features an 800×480 3.2″ resistive (stylus) display, a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM 7200 processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 110MB storage, an 8mp camera and Windows Mobile 6.5

    MachineDog I read "advanced windows mobile-based smartphone.. MSM7200.."

    I bet that hardware chugs pretty bad on that screen.
  3. thymian Really? I just can t wait for it...
    There seems to be a new wave of love coming for Windows Mobile handsets, and leading the surge for business-types is the Sony Xperia X2.

    Snarkasm Actually, leading the surge would probably have to be the HTC HD2, since it's the only one I know of at the moment that has a Snapdragon processor inside it.

    WinMo sucks hard on 528MHz - sorry.

    fix't. Seriously, Having supported WinMo 5 and 6 I have to say it's utter crap. Blackberry OS, Apples iPhone OS, Android, all of these are heads and tails better. I'd even rather use the old PalmOS than WinMo and that is saying a lot since I also hate PalmOS. I can't speak to WebOS though, haven't had a chance to use it.

    Snarkasm It's not all that bad, especially when you hide everything that IS WinMo behind TouchFlo, at which HTC has gotten exceedingly good.

    Otherwise, yeah... I'll stick with Android for the moment.

Howdy, Stranger!
