Back in early October, we learned that Sony Ericsson would reveal on November 3rd when the XPERIA X1 would hit North American shores. The date has come and gone and there are still no news from Sony Ericsson.
There is no word on the cause of the delay but there are reports that manufacturing delays are affecting shipments of the XPERIA X1 in Sweden, Germany and the U.K., the countries where it was first launched. Sony Ericsson attributed the delays to lack of source materials but would not reveal which parts were affected. The company also indicated that the delays would not affect plans to sell the XPERIA in other countries but a lack of announcement suggests otherwise.
A ray of hope remains: Sony Ericsson is still planning to launch the XPERIA X1 in November, according to public-relations manager Gustaf Brusewitz.
