The short answer is - "We don't know"

After this thread grows to a stupidly long length and many troll posts have also been posted, the answer will be:

"We still don't know"

After someone who has some kind of insight into Nokia (e.g. qgil, Attila77 - including MohammadAG - how's USB these days? well respected community members) the answer will be:

"Even we don't know"

If you ask Nokia directly and get no reply the answer will be (they hate talking to people):

"I assume we still don't know"

If PR1.3 is actually released the answer from Nokia will be:
"We told you so"

Our answer would be:
"No, you didn't"
