Man this make me want to rage!

What's the bet they don't finally start releasing the n9 to select countries until 30/09.
Even when it's been "stable enough" to be released at least 3mth earlier.*
And when they do release it they'll only "drip feed" it round the world over a 6mth period, instead of an instantaneous worldwide release.
And there'll be a tiny marketing push behind it compared to the WP7 phones, that'll be rolled-out at the same time.

And Engadget will be gushing all the while, & thus WP+Nokia will be forever in holy matrimony.
And mindless enthusiasts out there that like to think they're informed will go:
"Yeah I told you so, WP is da bomb, Meego was always shite, never had a chance".... Grrrrrrrrr

I'll still get a WP phone, as I like to try everything out...
But I would've preferred an alternate universe where WP could've gotten traction without Nokia.
And one where Nokia could've finally gotten some traction with it's own nextgen mobile OS.

*i seem to recall Android & even iOS being extremely buggy, in their 1st mass consumer releases.
