I understand your point. On another hand, I also understand that Nokia would rather wait until they can be sure about a precise date, just a few weeks in the future, then announce it and stick to it.

If they'd announced a precise date 2-3 months in advance and could not stick to it for any reason (the industrial process for those gorgeous polycabonate shells, for example, must be a pretty harsh one to fine-tune and optimize...), I'd guess this would have generated some heat among impatient fans...

Furthermore, the general strategy seems to be incremental availability, by region, rather than a simultaneous worldwide availability. That must make sense from a logistic point of view...
