Exactly. After 11Feb the development of Harmattan sped up a lot. I don't know exactly why. Perhaps because some employees not satisfied with Harmattan quit their jobs (less bureaucracy) and those who believe in Harmattan are working even harder. In January the device was mostly unusable. Now the UI and most apps are running with 120 FPS.

Two reasons:
1. Harmattan wasn't ready for (consumer-) market
2. The sliding machanism (of the device which was planned to come to market in November) wasn't durable enough (in Nokia terms; have you seen their testing process?)

The second point led to the decision to not sell the device to consumers, because Nokia probably would get a lot of complaints.
