Xperia X1a Delayed Until January

SonyStyle used to report that Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1a would be shipping on December 8th, which has unfortunately come and gone without the device being shipped. Apparently the X1a will not be shipping until January 9th, though the SonyStyle site has been changed to show the shipping date as January 12th. Will you be able to wait that long for the Xperia X1? Or will you settle on some other similar phone instead?
