I could be wrong, though, as some developers with access to the consumer device told me, that they would be greatly surprised if it will be released as late as September. They're counting with June/July.
Also I was told that the dev device will be announced and distributed well before the consumer device.

My bet is, that the dev device will be announced tomorrow (tech demonstration and so on) but with the clear statement that this is not the yet to be announced consumer Harmattan device. The consumer device will be announced in the beginning of September and will be available in stores one or two weeks later.
makes sense, but than why elop pulled out the consumer n9 at D9 and said it will be revealed soon? i would guess they will show it tomorrow and release it sometime between august and september, so it would have some effect on the Q3 profits.

EDIT: nokia world is in october and i believe they will show there Symbian Belle and much more important there first WP. I think the time gap between announcing the consumer n9 and wp is too short. first they have to hype meego and 4 weeks later wp7?! All eyes and marketing effort should be on WP.
