I was talking to Richard Cridford at mobiles.co.uk earlier about the success of the X1 so far, he informed me that mobiles.co.uk had totally sold out of the X1 within days of getting stock and weren't expecting more stock until the 15th of December. Apparently even the Carphonewarehouse were struggling to get stock. That's when you know a handset is selling well!
The X1 has been a much bigger success than retailers were anticipating and perhaps even Sony Ericsson, evidentially by the current lack of stock. You'd think they'd work harder to produce more handsets with strong competition from the Touch Diamond etc.
I spent some time checking the deal comparison widget earlier and it appears that dial-a-phone and Mobile Express currently have stock of the X1 and actually have pretty good deals on Vodafone. I don't know how long they're going to be in stock for, so grab one now while you can.
For Xperiax1.net, the stock shortages are quite exciting, it proves just how big a success the phone is going to be and in turn the success of our awesome X1 fan site. I reckon can expect the site to grow rapidly over the next few months with thousands more members. We like to think we're already the number 1 Xperia X1 community, so here's to the future.
