I hope its not true. The Android landscape is going to heat up Q1 2010. Having an SE Android 1.6 handset come out that late (in a few select markets) is going to cost SE a lot of money.

Why the delay? Hardware or software problem now?

That's really bad. Why don't they stop working on 1.6 and go directly on 2.0? At the time they release X10, Google Nexus One will have obsesses X10's supposed marked share.
X10 is going to have the same release period like X2 - 5 months.

Why don't they just release X10 with 1.6 vanilla android on november (without UX) and then release an update to 2.0.1 with UX later in March? That would make a lot of money from the end-year season...

SE's release date was originally Q1 so technically there isn't a delay yet....

No they can't and that's why they didn't get it when you pointed out the implications of it to them once again bringing down the rage of the juvenile on your head. When I consider the input you've had to this thread and the way you're regularly treated by fanboi infants I'm amazed and impressed you continue bothering.
I hope Rog's info is worst case scenario rather than set in stone for SE's sake and let's see how today's announcement from Google leaves the X10 project looking.

Given
past record the chances of the X10 being on time, reasonably priced and with working SW mods are IMHO remote
However having had an opportunity to use an android device (T-Mobile Pulse) extensively over the Christmas period
could learn a thing or two about build quality from Huawei this thing is CHEAP yet it is very well built so take note
But as for capacitive screens, they are rubbish! I had more typos than I can care to mention, the screen simply does what it feels like, unlike the resistive screens
and Nokia have been using which are accurate and work first time every time, whoever thinks capacitive screens are the way forward has clearly never used one that's for certain.
In fact the screen made the whole experience rather disappointing, often taking three or four touches to launch an application and it was rather laggy I can only hope
decide to drop putting another layer of interface over the OS.
For one thing they have proved they are no good at it with the X1 and secondly it will be so slow it wont be worth trying to use it!
Overall I can see where Android is coming from and it has the potential to be a very good OS although Google Docs needs FAR better integration but it is not yet the finished article
I am seriously considering either the N900 (But I need to see how those slider keyboards behave over time before I spend MY hard earned cash on one) - Or an Android device the HTC Hero looks very promising and in theory the X10 looks very good but as I said at the beginning have my doubts about
ability to deliver.

I suspect the January release window was dreamt up by somebody at SE back when they still thought it was okay to release horribly buggy phones to early adopters - before the embarrasment of the Satio and the public shaming that the retailers wrought on SE. Maybe someone got nervous about repeating that again so soon.
Or maybe they've decided that the X10's launch was likely to get lost in all the Nexus One's hooplah anyway? Do they release now and try to shout louder than Google, or leave that to settle down and release in March when the X10 is even more out of date? An unenviable choice.
What they should have done? Dropped development of the pointless and similarly delayed X2 several months ago, piled all their resources into the X10 from the onset, and released this phone before Christmas when it could have had a real impact.
