Nokia has a lot of preorders from september, and they could follow our discussions in the network. Therefore I can't accept that the actual demand would surprise Nokia.

But what if they found a new severe bug in the software of the shipped devices? That would explain a least something. They could sell only a few hand flashed pieces so that we don't loose our patience.
