in that case SE are screwed. I want to wait but as most customers will be company users who get what they are given its those that SE want, the ones who buy the boxes upon boxes of the things. Loyal owners can wait, company users like me dont get a choice. Purchasing are told to buy phones with x features, phones not available simple, get the next best thing. |

We are dealing with a company linked to sony here, the guys who said "no no no, the PS3 will be out on time" then a week later said "Yeah, its late but its not our fault"

| Updated - Sony Ericsson has continued problems with that few out the the new tip mock-up P990. In February was announced that P990 was delayed to the other quarter this year. Now, a majority states sources that P990 comes out firstly after the summer, but on Sony Ericsson holds one though at the objective about other quarter.
The information about that P990 dwells to August September comes from central placed persons at återförsäljar-kedjor, operators and analysis carries out as mobile been in contact with. According to them is the neither first or other quarter that applies for säljstarten of P990. In the middle of August will P990 begin to be sold, in small volumes. First in September comes P990 out in little bigger volumes.
But according to Jakob Rydén on Sony Ericsson has the company not changed official lance small dates for P990, without the is still other quarter that will apply for the sale start.
From the start willed P990 have been released during the first quarter this year. Concurrent as the first delay of P990 became public in February presented Sony Ericsson a little smaller smartphone with the name M600. The has not however become delayed without will begin to be sold in June.
A big test of Sony Ericsson M600 exists in numbers 5 of mobile, that comes out May 9 in the shops. |

You cant be angry, be honest now, your wife would have made you keep that P800 until the day you die so now you have this great excuse to justify the 990. Shout at him but when the wifes gone shake his hand  |

Well in that article linked to above, it did appear that SE was denying any delay, and of course the Voda date doesn't necessarily mean the handset itself is delayed. It may just be the Voda version - afterall if they do what they did to the P910i then they customise it a fair bit and lock down WAP/Internet settings etc and that may explain a delay on launch.
You'd also have to say the date moving from 21st of one month to the same date the following month is probably just a "guesstimate" in the same way play.com changed the date from 01/05 to 01/06 - they don't have any better info than anyone else and are probably just guessing.

@jonny5, when the P900 came out Orange had it months before Vodafone (in the UK). There are two rumours that either T-mobile or O2 seem to have negotiated the first network ready handsets. But I think SIM free versions will be available first. |

CPW have said may for ages.
As for the delay, while SE say "There is no delay" do we actually know the release date they have set themselves? If they set the release as september then sure, there is no delay.
Vodafone version will no doubt be late as they will change the thing and ruin it as much as they can and most likely ask SE to provide them with the oldest firmware they can find so they can give it to everyone as that. |

@Peterkay, to be honest I don't know why anyone asks CPW for dates coz in my experience they only know once they have them in their warehouse.
they told you May a couple of days ago but even their May catelogue says expected July!

Looks like we'll just have to wait as we did for the P800 a few years back.

All we know is that SE is sticking to a June release, all other things are rumors
