Again it seems things havent changed from Sony ericsson side.We have the usual delays as- usual .16 Phones announced and none available on the market.We are almost on 3rd month of 08.And its been already almost 4 months after announcement of w890,k660,w380.And i believe most of u would have forgot the announced Sony ericsson phones waiting for it

This does raise a question regarding the competition.
Nokia N82 hit the shops within a few weeks of announcement.
Are Nokia going to set a trend where handset hit the shops within a very short time period (like: Apple)?

It would indeed be great if announced phones became available in weeks rather than months.
3-4 months is too long IMO.

The Xperia X1 is still 8 months away. I think SE have the longest waiting times for releasing phones of any of the phone manufacturers. |

It would be good, but a lot of new SEs already have had build issues in their early days. What if this suffered more?

They really shouldn't be any different from any other OEM.
By the time the phone hits the market, the excitement surrounding the announcement has all but disappeared.

K660 should be out next month aswell.
but i agree that SE is quite slow in launching new high end phones.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

Well if they suddenly decided to not announce phones until a couple of weeks before they were to become available then we wouldn't hear from them for a year at least.

There's one reason, and one reason only for Sony Ericsson's slow releases. If they wait any more, the products are going to be leaked and all specs will be out months before it's announced, due to firmware and beta testing  |

They do testing anyway, but is it really necessary to show it 6 months before? I agree with most here, it is not so clever. And fans get quite annoyed with it. Promising and waiting for something that isn't yet there and watching other brands passing by with the new models... Nokia releases something and everybody who wants to buy it will buy it in a month or so. With  you forget what you wanted to buy... |

@Mizzle
Why are SE unique in this situation how can it apply to them differently then to any other manufacturer? sorry but that just makes no sense at all. As for for Beta testing are you sure i thought that was what us the paying users did for them.
@all
The other problems is with such long lead times what looks like top spec when announced is alreday dated by release even 6 months is a very long time in Mobiles any longer than that is just ridiculous IMO why bother announcing it so far ahead we get excited and then bored before it's eventual release.
