If the X1 will be release by september,Then why is that we still don't have any new white paper for the final approach of the product?

Is that $499 on AT&T with a 2 year contract? as if so that really sucks big time IMO. As the iPhone is only what $200 and even the Bold is only expected to be $200 approx on contract which makes the X1 over twice as expensive. Do you know how much the Touch Pro will be on contract?
Also 40,000 doesn't really sound like a lot of units for the whole of AT&T and the whole of the US. Do you know how many units other smart phones sell a month in the US?

I have really low expectations that this phone is going to be released with AT&T.
I'm not saying that it won't happen, but with the way things go with AT&T, they take forever and a day to release a branded [high end] SE phone.
I remember the S710 took a really long time to be released and when it got to the K850, they just eventually scrapped the idea of releasing the phone.

@ron.jeremy:
Your quote of smape has nothing to do with software instability:
- High price
- Challengeable keyboard ergonomics
- Non-canon screen resolution
- No TV-out
- No hardware 3D acceleration
1) High price. Of course. We were warned about this from day one.
2) The only possible legitimate issue on this list. The X1 keyboard seems to be a love or hate situation with reviewers.
3) BengalBoy says that the WVGA screen resolution is not an issue. This was several ROM's ago when he tested this possible problem.
4) As far as no TV-out, we don't have the final unit yet.
5) There definitely IS 3D acceleration. smape is wrong on this account.

I don't know how much the TouchPro will be, but why would it be significantly cheaper? The TyTnII is still $500 at AT&T right now
I would have to pay $300 for an upgrade to it.

I don't know AT&T sales figures, but considering this is one of the most expensive phones on the market, I wouldn't expect it to sell millions. Also, 40000 is an initial order. Perhaps there will be more ordered if there are strong X1 sales? I certainly don't expect the X1 to do iPhone sales...TouchPro or Diamond neither. Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles and Grandmas know about the iPhone. Only enthusists know about X1/TouchPro/Diamond. Everyone's at a disadvantage to iPhone sales except lowend phones.

I think this explains the January AT&T exclusive, release date. Everywhere else seems to have Oct/Nov as the release date.
I remember the S710 took a really long time to be released and when it got to the K850, they just eventually scrapped the idea of releasing the phone.
But the X1 is on schedule.
I think the early announcement partly was to build up anticipation and excitement for the X1. The price alone would make it a hard sell, but, all of the love/hate buzz the X1 is getting has only served as free advertising. I never saw a p910 or p990 or p1i on AT&T shelves either (at least where I live at). Sony has it's own stores like Apple.

Just been looking on the
website shop on the coming soon section and it shows the Xperia for a January 08 release
I'm due another upgrade in March and I think this will be my last
phone if it doesn't perform well.

If you'd back up a few pages in this thread you would see that there are a few pending (valid looking) release dates for the X1. So we are definitely getting close to the end of the wait
Whether SE is successful with this or not doesn't matter to me...as long as I get the phone.
You guys that are "jumping ship" shouldn't waste your money on inferior "X1 replacements" because, once the X1 is released, you are going to be buying it anyhow out of sheer lust

So, in Texas, you can order phones while in jail?
