I don't really understand how can postponing a release be a profitable move any time. It's not like one Nokia product is cannibalizing another -- there are enough competitors outside of Nokia who will take care of eating Nokia's share. I say, once a device is ready, realease it, if you want more bang -- then release all your new phones with a common announcement; what do you care if someone will be so stunned by N9 that they won't notice N8, as long as they're getting a Nokia anyway.

Rant over...
