It is not run by SE, or for that matter has a direct link with SE as such. The SE UK store is run by a company called DataSelect who are a large phone and accessories distributor.
Despite them not being officially SE, I would suspect however that any release information they have may be more accurate than most other retailers.
Edit: Just to add I spoke to them last week regarding more accurate info on the release date and all they could tell me was "mid June".

you´re not doing your homework...both here and in mobile-review there were recent reports of "stable" P990´s being used by SE representatives

@lesneo, SE have always said Q2 for the release and their UK eShop has stated June release for many months. What more information do you need? What more should SE say? |

...and here we go around the "when is it available" circle again (again!) 
I'll just be happy on the day I go to buy one, until then, I know there is nothing I can do to make it available quicker...

@Jah , You aren't quite right buddy ! The SE Spock man said :'probably second quarter, but it may be delayed to third quarter and even later ! This is all what we 'officially' have from SE. All the other dates are unfounded speculations ! I personally don't expect it before christmas. By then the firmware should be OK too (hopefully) . Greetings from my N70 :)

@Guy H, in the UK mobileshop.co.uk will sell you a SIM free P990 with a Vodafone contract and mobileshop.co.uk expect stock in early June. A Vodafone customised P990 will probably take longer to be available. This may explain the different information about availability. Remember mobileshop.co.uk can only sell you a Vodafone contract and phone if the phone works on the Vodafone network.

It depends on how you interpret SE's English  What SE is trying to stress here is that if you activate Flight Mode, it will automaticall activate WiFi. The reason is to market this product to business users, cos many of them are already customers of Boeing's Connexion in flight WiFi customers Well, that's how I interpret it anyway.
If WiFi can only be activated in Flight Mode, SE would have placed it like this, e.g.,:
Connectivity
WiFi (only in Flight Mode)...
But rather, all their techincal specs states these:
Connectivity
* 80 MB internal memory
* 64 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo in the box
* Memory Stick PRO Duo support up to 8GB
* Bluetooth 2.0
* IrDa
* WLAN 802.11b
* High speed UMTS modem (384 kbps)
* USB Desk stand
* USB full speed and charging
* USB Mass storage
* PC synchronisation software
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=pc&lm=pc3_1&prid=4638
Or These:
Local Connectivity:
Infrared
Bluetooth
USB 2.0
WiFi
Simple English
