While a majority of Android handset makers have been all too busy attempting to clone the iPhone, Sony Ericsson has taken a different approach by creating unique Android smartphones that cater to specific and unique needs like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Live with Walkman which targets music lovers. Smartphone owners who wanted to take their Android device on the go while still having a durable and rouged phone were treated earlier this year to Sony’s Xperia Active. The Android 2.3 phone which targets the active and sport enthusiasts out there  is both dust-proof and water-resistant. In fact, the phone can be kept under 1m of water for 30 mins.

Till now, the phone always had a Q3 time table attached as a release date. Eventually, Sony Ericsson would set September 9th as the official release date for the UK. With that date come and gone with no phone released yet, we’ve learned that Sony Ericsson will be launching instead on September 30th. No reasons were given for the delay but a minor one is something that we can live with. No word yet for the rest of Europe or the United States though all mentioned territories will receive this phone.
