While Vodafone may have left the X2 high and dry in the UK, online retailer Play.com had put the Xperia X2 up for pre-order. Originally it was to be released on the 29th of January but, from then onwards for the next few days, the product listed said the handset was out of stock. The page has been updated again, offering the handset up for pre-order. This time the release date is expected to be the 17th of February. with rumors going around that the X2 has been cancelled in the UK altogether, it’ll be interesting to see if Play do ship this handset out, or whether the page will be taken down after the 17th. Hopefully Play will be able to release the handset unlocked to those in the UK who do want the Windows Mobile handset, over the upcoming Android powered X10.

One online UK retailer, Play.com have put the Xperia X10 up for pre-order and with it a release date of January 18th. This contradicts information from the Sony Ericsson Store, but despite it, it gives some hope that the X10 won’t be delayed after all. As we know though, third party companies have issued wrong release dates before, so it’s perhaps not worth getting your hopes up.
