Well they would also release it early to cash in on The Da Vinci Code movie product placement. Release it early while the image of the phone is still fresh in people's heads.

That sounds so to me too! They would want to cash in on all the hype surrounding this movie at the moment.

omg! can soemone explain why vodaphone is getting all the exclusivity on some of the best phones? the w900i was such a let down coz contract customers had to shell out a fortune and get one on vodaphone and unlock it (if on another network).. i love SE really really do, but hate the way they do this...... really makes me feel as if they are trying to control who you sign up with...... and i will neevr go to teh dark side (vodaphone)
(but thats just personal preference)

Its simple.
Vodafraud and SE have always had a good relationship, and since Vodafraud are pretty much the worlds #1 operator, why not jump into bed with them and have them pay you for every handset they sell ?
Its crap for the consumer who doesnt like branding though.

Well you can buy contract phones from the uk networks via the
eshop on their site now, so they're scratching each other's backs.

Yes and no. The eShop isnt really an official SE dealer, its a third party dealer that is signed up with SE to sell their products for them.
I always thought the eShop was like calling SE themselves, but actually the eShop is just another third party company that has a deal with SE. Thats why when you call them for release date information, they tell you SE have told them nothing (because they arent actually part of SE).

So Vodafone is getting another exclusive release on a Walkman handset despite the agreement that SE announced with Orange earlier this year that all Walkman handsets would be released exclusively (or at the same time) on the Orange network (and Orange branded).
This was in the press release:
Orange will be first or joint first to market with the roll out of the Sony Ericsson Walkman® phones
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=pc&lm=pc3_1&prid=4974
Unless Orange are going to surprise us with an early release (which I doubt) or perhaps the Vodafone entry is mistake? I sometimes feel these companies make up stories just to send out press releases!

I don't think that agreement meant Orange will have exclusivity on the new handsets. Its says : -
Orange customers will further benefit from the partnership as all new handsets within the Sony Ericsson Walkman® phone portfolio, commencing with the W810i and W300i, will be customised to fit with Orange’s successful Signature strategy. The Signature approach offers a consistent and easy to use interface across a variety of handset manufacturers.
It just means all
handsets will be signature devices (branded), just like voda. The only exclusivity is the partnership with Sony/BMG and Miss Aguirella.
