You're comparing the ever-present rumors that plague anything Apple related from damn near anybody that wants attention (trust me, they want the attention of being the first to guess something that's close to the truth) to a bunch of talk/rumors from folks that have pretty good access to repositories and developers as well as official Nokia representation (I can't imagine Steve Jobs doing much more than responding with one sentence answers of how folks are holding his creation wrong) and it's the best we can do... only two folks seem to know something?

It's asking for a suspension of disbelief on an order that I'm not accustomed to using with Linux based offerings that are typically more open than Apple's offerings.

Simply stated, open OS, open source developers, open communication. That's highly ideal - and never from Nokia - but yeah. That's what I'm dealing with in terms of what I should and shouldn't believe in.

And drop the Apple comparisons. Not applicable here.

Just because Zeh and some others are hinting about the N9 and there are bloggers writing about the N9 or dismissing it in some way doesnt Mean Nokia's official guys will hop on over and either give credence and shoot out some specs at us or deny it categorically. Never happens that way in any company and ou know it.
Which part of "I'm patient" doesn't register? We'll see who's right, who's wrong, who was full of crap.

The tempering of your willingness to buy a Nokia device has happened much before for other (valid) reasons and it has nothing to do with Nokia not coming out officially before it is announced to confirm r deny the rumours. Thats just sounded ridiculous. This thread is all amusement and you should take it as such. Trying to base your buying judgement based on this thread .... no way.
Informed decisions. I live by them. Rumor mongering is fun to watch, I'd rather have reliable information.

Thus my prior statements stands.
