I would like to clear things up for everyone: US phones will be available between oct.19-30 and europe and other countries november 19th thru the 30th. My reasoning is this

from WIki:It was launched at Nokia World on 2 September 2009 and was expected to be released on 27 September 2009 in the United States and on 19 October 2009 in 9 European countries

SO as you can see clearly US markets are getting it first, since most of the nov dec dates are coming from euro sources, i suspect i am right.
