Got XPERIA

While a photo with an AT&T logo could raise curiosity, does it really mean AT&T might get this X1? I sure hope so and Engadget is pondering the same…

Yeah, okay, it’s that big AT&T logo front and center, which makes an appearance in several of PHONE Magazine’s shots of the interface. We’d like to believe that means that AT&T is a lock to pick up one of the hottest Windows Mobile devices ever manufactured, and indeed, it probably does — its 3G radio is certainly ripe for the job — but it’s entirely possible to think that Sony Ericsson is still in the process of selling carriers on the device, and is simply trying to get ‘em to crack a smile by loading their logo.

Late last week, there were rumors floating around that the X1 was going to be delayed until 2009. Luckily, I was quite busy with the site upgrades and didn’t have a chance to share that rumor. I am very interested in the X1 (even started Xperiasite, but haven’t had the time to finish) and I really hated to hear this. The Unwired was reporting that a document with release dates showed the X1 in 2009.

Yesterday I found a post on Engadget that confirmed that the X1 is on track still. Sony Ericsson Corporate Vice President of the Global Communications Aldo Liguori told the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog the following…

“I can confirm that we will be launching the X1 product in 2nd Half of 2008, as per our announcement of 10th February.”

I am really looking forward to this release!
