Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 On Vodafone: Release Date Delayed To January 2010

Another blow for Sony Ericsson as their Windows phone for the year slips into 2010.

Missing out on the big Xmas season, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is now slated for a January release on the official Vodafone site, the network set to have a period of exclusivity for the business slider.

With a 3.2-inch high resolution touchscreen and 8.1 megapixel camera, the X2 is ready for pleasure as well as business…well, it would have been if the Windows Mobile 6.5-powered device had made its Q4 release window.

Between the Sony Ericsson Satio being pulled from shelves over problematic firmware and the Aino getting roughed up over touchscreen performance issues, the delay for their third pillar of winter handsets is the last thing the manufacturer needed…

With a swathe of hot handsets earmarked for launch early in the new year — including Sony Ericsson’s own Android-ready XPERIA X10 — the luxurious X2 might well be buried amongst an array of releases from the competition.

The XPERIA X1 paid dearly for its protracted journey from announcement to release, let’s hope that the X2 does not suffer the same fate.
