When this site was started I dont think anyone expected this site to grow as popular as it has.
As a result of this popularity im sure you, the visitors have noticed that the site has been down for the last few days with a nasty error message saying something about exceeding bandwith limits. Thats the last thing I ever expected but lo and behold it happened, I am sincerely sorry to anyone that was affected, annoyed or frustrated as a result of the site being offline.
We have talked to our provider to make it sure it doesnt happen again.

The wait is over.
Well… the wait on how long the wait will be is over. Mobile software retailer Handango accidentally leaked information on the Sony Ericsson Xperia’s release date in a message meant exclusively for developers.
Unfortunately for Sony, but thankfully for the rest of us, developers have access to the interwebs and the information quickly spread to the entire tech enthusiast industry. Here’s a glimpse of Handango’s tip-off booboo:
So there you have it folks - the moment you’ve all been waiting for will come in the middle of September when the Xperia hits stores!
Some people aren’t so patient and rumor has it that pre-released Xperia devices have been made available for prices as high as $1,500. This has been confirmed by websites such as MobileCityOnline, CellHUT, WirelessGalaxy and Smart Mobile Gadgets.
Thanks but no thanks. If you want to know when the REAL Xperia is available for sale, sign up for our Instant E-mail Notification and we’ll inform you as soon as the phone is made available for sale or pre-order by a Sony Ericsson themselves.

After all of the hype and dummy phone’s everyone has seen in the news, Dieter Bohn of WMExperts finally got some time to poke and prod the Xperia at CTIA.
According to Dieter, the phone’s hardware is “simply top notch” and boasts snappy performance and features that can only be truly appreciated in person. He goes on to say that the Xperia is less wide than the Blackjack II and that it “feels remarkably thin for all the power they’ve got under the hood.”.
The phone touts a clean, sharp and bright 800 x 480 wide screen display that makes its signature Panel system run smooth and crisp. More information about the Panel system revealed that there are preset panels similar Mac OS Leopard Spaces that allow you to make apps and even web pages there own panels.
Along with its impressive display, the Xperia also has a 3.2 megapixel camera with Autofocus that allows additional features like moving the autofocus box into the viewfinder eliminating the need to center the image in the camera.
The phone is slated to be released at the second half of this year despite rumors that it would be delayed until 2009. Sony Ericsson has not released the carrier(s) it intends to release the Xperia to but since it is a GSM phone, we can expect that it will come out for T-Mobile & AT&T. The XPERIA supports 3G in UMTS/HSDPA and HSUPA (faster than HSDPA and in early deployment here in the US by AT&T)

As many of you Xperia fans may have saw, there was a recent rumor from the guys over at Sony Ericsson Blog reporting that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 was going to be delayed until February of 2009. Luckily for you die-hard Xperia fans, that rumor has been smashed by Sony Ericsson Vice President of Global Communications Aldo Liguori in a statement to the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog - ‘I can confirm that we will be launching the X1 product in 2nd Half of 2008, as per our announcement of 10th February.’ - That is about as official and definitive as things can get, breath easy Xperia fans.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Delayed til 2009

You heard it right folks, the crew over at Sony Ericsson Blog have found an official Sony Ericsson webpage stating the expected release date of the Xperia X1 to be 2/10/2009. Sony Ericsson Blog is one of the most trusted Sony Ericsson resources on the web making this claim possibly very true.
If true, the wow factor of the Xperia X1 just may fade a little; who knows what we may see by 2009? We’ll bring you any updates as we receive them, but a delay would surely suck big time for those awaiting the Windows Mobile 6.1 running, dual touch and QWERTY sliding, sexy beast that is the Xperia X1.
Edit! - It seems that someone misinterpreted the date on the site, the date that was posted in World Format which is dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy. While this is still next year, its better then 18 months.
