I agree with your logic. But why would nokia not announce such a thing. I guess the developers would have wanted that information. And texrat did mention that some of the information is unfortunately untrue. I assume he was talking about the t-mobile lock-in. If they wanted to go with a carrier lock in they definitely would have done it with n97. I don't see the point of suddenly going with a carrier especially with such an open OS which the carriers really would not like.
