When it will be "soon"?

I remember a teacher I had in the University that hated us when we used terms like "much", "a few", "a lot"... he always insisted that "much" or "a few" are not numbers. He always wanted any answer being supported by facts/numbers.

So, "soon" is not a date.

Thank you neotalk for the post, but for that guy that answer you from Nokia, it would be nice to ask him what he consider 'soon' is.
