I read this thread when I got in late last night, and slept very badly.

At the moment, Amazon UK is still saying 2nd November, but I would guess that's due to them being slow to adjust dates.

I do understand that nokia want to make this 'right' - or as right as they can. And I do recognise that the release of the 300 testing units showed up problems they didn't know were there (why did they set the date so soon after summit in the first place??) and I even recognise that maybe the sudden interest from 'Joe Public' has made them a little more antsy about it being fit for release than if it had been 'just geeks' who will run update daily.

But if the date is set back till mid-November, it may change things for me. I wanted the device for some very specific reasons for the end of October/1st week of November. If it arrives mid-November, I may well not have time even to unpack it till Christmas (burning 6 weeks of warranty while it's still in the box).

So when Amazon send me that email, I may very well do a rethink. Which hacks me off royally, as there's nothing else on the market to touch it.
