Xperia X1 is no longer the marvel of technology that it had been if it was released in February. Nokia's N95 had many of the features already a year ago and Apple Iphone have today received both 3G and GPS. In addition, two advanced Windows Mobile phones was released in the summer, Diamond HTC and Samsung Omnia. Yet Sony Ericsson promises that the product will be delivered on October 10.
The market has generally found a balance between not to be late and not to disappoint users with a crippled product. The pressure on Sony Ericsson is to get the phone before Christmas, but the company has to be careful and not release a buggy phone. Source: IDG
