@All
What is your prediction on sales volume of the X1 ?
Worldwide?
USA?
Europe?
Asia?
etc?
Do you think it will be hugely successful or just equal in numbers to other WM phones?
At the current delivery rate
About 25 Worldwide!

SE better stick with WM and Symbian (esp. that they are one of the founders of the new SF) as they have already invested there.
Exactly. SE is one of the founders of SF. It would be... hmmm... strange not to release Symbian Xperia.
On the other hand, Android seems to be very quick. All systems should run so smoothly. Unfortunately neither Symbian nor WM do. I use N95 8GB and is far too slow for me. Too many lags.
From what I read on (I think it was) Engadget the android G1 is not very reliable requiring multiple restarts during a single day and far too dependent on a data connection for my liking.

I still don't understand. The phone has been delivered to Sweden, so what is stopping SE from deliver the phone to the rest ?
Is it production shortage ? very unlikely.

Slow production maybe?
SE/HTC suppliers too slow or have supply shortages?

1) I don't think Xperia uses special component. I believe most of the parts are common.
2) Normally, as in Sony factory, we will have 2 or 3 suppliers for backup in case the main supplier having a problem or parts problem during mass-pro.
3) unless there is a special component, then we will have problem with shortage. as happen for sony PS3 in the beginning due to the shortage of blue laser diode.
4) I think, HTC has a big production capacity since they are OEM manufacturer for many brands.

Why Xperia hasn't announced carriers in North America?
Blame Apple
This report explains why? Carriers subsidies for high end phones are eating the profits. Expect in the future lower service rates but higher phone prices

X1a hasn't been announced yet. Remember, it is supposed to be announced on Nov 3.
Also, I haven't noticed high-end SE phones on display anywhere. Most people have no clue what my p910 is
I think SE just doesn't have a huge footprint in the U.S.

Worldwide = 7 he he. That's what SE makes people persive.
But seriously, This is a high end, high price device for power users and people who can afford it most others just will wish to have but can't afford.
As opposed to low end low price like the iPhone ($199) that a lot people will buy for simple entertainment or because it's cool.
Most of the people around the world buy mobiles phones tjust o make calls.
Any one has a chart of history sales for the top devices to have a point of reference and compare?

What 's happened is ridiculously extrange. I can't imagine a company of the caliber of SE ever doing such stupid things. At this point comon sense dictates that they are
mute about a a serious problem/mistake. The Sweden phones don't look like the real final thing.
Normally there a lot of hype advertisement in advance specially for a high end device. iBut USA nothing! no tv,magazine, flyers nothing. I talk to many AT&T store managers and employees and they say Xperia? What?
Either At&t will not carry it or it is the biggest secret in the world. Based on the link I posted above I think AT&T is thinking dollars and sense before making a commitmemt.
If it goes unbranded. I don't mind it.
