I was shocked to see verbs like "design" and "prototyping" in January 2009, 3 months after preorders were paid for.

I can only guess that this is due to the problems with the lithium polymer battery that they were using. I think it was bigger than they had expected it would be:

And if that wasn't enough, we a bit trouble with the rechargeable battery, as it was pretty hard designing a battery with that high capacity that also FITS into the case. This delayed the case - but I'm happy to announce that the final battery is already being prototyped. As soon as we get it (which should be within the next week), the case design will be ready a few days later (we set the deadline for the case design to January 15th). Prototyping shouldn't take too long - and then it will only be a matter of a few weeks more until everything is ready for delivery.

PS: daperl, you do realize that you linked to an almost 70MB video, don't you?

EDIT: After watching the video, I've seen another reason why Nokia's offering is going to be so much better. The GUI on that thing is amateurish and rudimentary. They should have used Hildon.
