well I thought my logic is pretty straigtforward. if someone promises to ship a device which is obviously not certified in time, but they still promising, that sounds more like a lie, and less like company is waiting for a miracle. if someones takes money for an item, but brings no item in return while keeping the money, that looks more like a scam and less like a lack of management / a series of unfortunate circumstances. still I want to believe all that time is really used with max profit and there's simply nobody to tell us all the details (I don't think it's that much secret and classified). and I don't insist I want them to make it quick but with typical Aliexpress quality. and the most important: as far there's a "slider monopoly" and Cosmo communicator can't get me that excited, and still fed up with boring generic mass market devices, and don't trust folding phones, there's nothing much left to do. also keep in mind I'm not much comfotably waiting since my N900 is dead and there's not much sense in buying another new phone for the meantime, so I'm hanging out with the N93i which still pretty stylish but it's just a dialer...
