As I said, I haven't seen any official release date before now. So I have no clue what you are talking about. Microsoft fan - where ??
... I have never seen any real official date until now. October 3 is an official date. It may be off by 3-4 days (+-) who knows, but it's still an official date, a date in which Nokia has promised Telenor they can start sending devices to customers....
