According to Sony Ericsson, the company has communicated to its operator customers and distributors that supply chain disruptions resulting from the situation in Japan have affected the world-wide roll out of the Neo. It has been released in some Asian markets, but it won’t be produced in significant quantities and be ready for wider distribution until Q3.
