I don't know if you read my post fully, but i refer to Nokia Czech Republic and everything i mention in those points refers only to the Czech Republic, just to make this clear. I was assured that mid November is the final release date for Czech Republic from Nokia Czech who got the information from Nokia HeadQuarters. In the US the device will ship earlier than that for sure.

Oh and i just added one more point which i forgot:
5) local operators (Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile) are hesitating wheter to carry the device or not, so far it looks only Nokia will be selling it, atleast in the beginning.
