I reckon we won't have it at launch....
But if Nokia's feeling generous/competent, we might get it with a major update later
If something isn't there at launch, don't count on it. (ala Flash 10 update for N900, Nokia's numerous WONTFIX/FIXED IN [next OS] to security fixes/bug fixes/new features, etc) Nokia seems pretty intent to push something out and then summarily ignore those customers as much as they can get away with.

This! Exactly, this!
