The Register reports a delay and shows the Sony Ericsson site page where the release date says January 2009. An interview with a Sony Ericsson representative confirms this delay, it says.
The reason cited for the delay is compatibility issues with Windows Mobile 6.1.
X1 was announced to be released in second half of 2008 but in March the site indicated a February 2009 release which was later quashed as website error. And now the delay, which seems to be official. Lets see what news reaches us next.

The buzz is that Motorola is coming up with a QWERTY less touch screen phone, Motorola “Atila”. This phone, as according to BGR, should be a touch-screen mobile device and would run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
Functionality wise the Motorola “Atila” is to be a powerpack. Quad-band EDGE tri-band 3G, GPS, WiFi, Qualcomm 721a chipset, 1130 mAh battery will be some of its features. It is expected to measure 80 x 109 x 18.75 millimetres, which makes it somewhat comparable with the HTC Touch.
It is coming out with a 240×320 screen resolution which might disappoint a bit on the display part, but has what looks to be a genuine trackball. Not such a bad mobile set after all.
This phone isn’t really claiming to revolutionise anything in the mobile arena, but it should be at the very least a cute little one ready to take on the hearts of many.
It is expected to be released by Motorola quite soon.
