Sony Ericsson shunts Yendo phone back until Feb. 2011

Arriving as the latest handset maker to delay a major product release, Sony Ericsson has today announced that its Yendo phone won’t be available until February of 2011.
Initially announced back in the summer of this year, the handset’s delayed arrival isn’t likely to upset many prospective buyers—not least because it’s fairly light where desirable features are concerned.
Citing an unnamed “Sony Ericsson exec”, technology site T3 reports that the Yendo has been shoved back on the calendar due to issues with the current version of the phone’s software.
Set to bolster Sony Ericsson’s existing line of Walkman phones, the Yendo is expected to come equipped with a modest 2.6-inch touchscreen, a 2.0 mega-pixel camera with digital zoom, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and media support via Touch TrackID, PlayNow and MediaGo.
For those keen on snagging a snazzy handset with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Yendo is also worryingly deficient, which is a shortfall reflected in the handset’s projected price of $100 USD.
Earlier this week, Nokia pushed its upcoming flagship E7 smartphone back from its December shipping date—apparently in order to hone its user interface ahead of an early 2011 release.
