I didn't say "zero testing" . Test enough to be relatively sure no permanent damage is going to happen to the device.. and let it loose.

Yes, there will be bugs. Yes, people seem to forget that and they scream, loudly and obnoxiously I might add, and so yes - I'm pretty sure that's why Nokia does it this way; and as such: we get to wait 2+ months for fixes that every day make people more angry.

But this thread wanted my opinion.. and personally: I believe releasing early, having people report the bugs, and then fixing those bugs quickly is the way I would do it.

Yes, users are annoying and angry and don't usually report bugs in a very "meaningful" manner - but you aren't winning either way... people here aren't exactly quiet about the bugs that are already fixed and just not released, either.
