They are showing that item as not in stock same as Moby Memory who are expecting there first shipment on the 23rd September. But they are coming soon that's for sure also there pricing seems to be reasonable for this new size card. Personally I'm not desperate for it but my next card will be a 16GB or maybe even the 32GB card as more space is always useful IMO.

Let me just explain... The panels...okay. So you say it is a convenience?
Say your using ur internet browser, sayyy, on google... Imagine that you had google set up as a panel. great...you wanna go send a text...., so you close the panel down and open your new panel with your text options, and select new sms. great. nice and convienient.
But i ask you...how is that any more 'convieniant' than surfing google on your ...sayy..k850, and then going to your menu and opening up a new sms...its like 2 or 3 click. Jeez....
Yes i appreciate that the 9 panels are all active, yes they all update so they show live previews.... yes, eventually once third parties create new panels, there could be some interesting things...but seriosly, the hype that SE are giving about these panels is just wayyy too much.
Anyone who has watched the webcast for the X1 will have seen the guy from SE struggling to answer questions as to how the panels change your way of using the phone. He just kept re-itterating the point that theres 9 possible desktops. I see it as just a variation on the menu of a phone.
Sorry, its just the way i feel, i mean i love SE phones, and im not whining about any performance lackings or whatever....i just think SE are making too much of the panel idea. It just isn't as good as they think it is. It IS a gimmick to sell phones.
No one is claiming the panels are the best thing since sliced bread though
I doubt that's the sole reason most are buying the X1 anyhow. Nor do I think anyone is having the wool pulled over their eyes (at least I haven't gotten that impression from others). Yes the panels are gimmicky. The part of your quote that I bolded, you seem to be contradicting your own point though
And, yes, the two (single handed) button presses to anywhere concept is nice. Not three or four...but TWO.

I can't believe they are also charging for the handset sim free - £584! That's almost £100 more than Play.com are charging. Suppose it pays to shop around!
Ok I am not from UK so I don't really know if Play.com pricing includes VAT or whatver the tax is called.
But the pricing for the X1 without the VAT on expansys is £497.86

The £499 on Play.com includes VAT, so thats the total price. Expansys is around £584 including VAT.

Also, some details that I still cannot confirm for the UK version is, what 3G frequency band will the SE X1 support? I've have read many sources which all seems to tell different stories, and from the expansys site it listed UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100 which I think is wrong.
This is from an article posted september 10th:
According to a Sony Ericsson rep at the CTIA Wireless trade show today, the X1 will not have separate European and US hardware versions, so the UK model will work well in the US. Therefore, we expect that specialty importers like Dynamism.com will start selling the Xperia X1 to US customers on, well, September 30.

Maybe this coroborates what you saw and perhaps they're dumping the X1i and X1a for one unified device? That would be good for us US buyers.

So, does that mean that X1 (unified) will have H.264 @ 30fps?
Instead of the X1a being limited in Video playback than the X1i.

it would if it were true...
if its sold in the US early it will be through parallel importer's, not due to a unified version...

What is strange is that on the various SE web sites, all the localized phones are properly mentionned and spec'ed with either the ending a or i or c. The X1 on the other hand is named X1 everywhere, and the specs are the same also on each and every site.
Logically, it would follow that the X1 would be truly universal.
But...

I have made same observation, but still the white paper from May make distinction between a 'c' and an 'a' version ('i' is not mentioned, but spec wise looks similar to 'c'). If the product pages is not correct SE is spreading disinformation IMO since it gives an impression the X1 that one could buy is more capable than it actually is (it even mentions the 1700 MHz frequency).

@Arne: You are right, it is not the first time I see misleading informations on their web sites. I remember on the belgian web site they clearly stated that the z750i would not have the A2DP bluetooth profile.
That is, up to when they simply removed the z750i from the site completely, and the phone was never sold in Belgium.
And that's why I finished my earlier post by: But...
