UK retailer eXpansys have a “Friday Offer” which this week includes a healthy price drop on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

The offer, which was sent out via email to customers, is valid between 11am and 4pm GMT only on the 17th of October so, if you’re looking to purchase an X1 at £85 off the recommended listing price then this offer could be of interest to you. Obviously, the X1 isn’t released yet so this is a pre-order and although the release date is unconfirmed, eXpansys do have the 1st of November down as release date on their site.

eXpansys are selling the X1 for £499.99 (includes VAT) as opposed to the usual selling price on their site of £584.99 but, be aware that the offer is limited to 2 phones per customer and no other offers or vouchers can be used in conjunction with this deal.
