                            All the people blaming Sony Ericsson are wrong.

                            The problem is the O2 Software they wish to load onto the device is causing instability to the Android platform

                                  It is okay to delay the release of any device in the market as long as they iron out the issues.

                                    Or it could be the 'white phone curse' because o2 is holding exclusive to the white xperia play!
