Ditto. Good thing I'm on T-Mobile's 3G.

Apparently for "people who are familiar with Nokia" this is the norm.
Not that that is a helpful comment, but essentially we are all in the same boat.
I just hope the device is as good as it looks, in which case I'm prepared to put up with it, as it's not like there is currently an alternative for me (a few that are close, but not close enough)

Nope there was a tweet a couple of weeks ago saying it was still on track for Mid Oct. Since then the date on numerous web sites has jumped around like a cat on a hot tin roof.

@Bratag: Right, the official line is that they'll have it available in mid oct, and that's still 2 weeks away. None of the big boys respond to street rumors afaik and they don't email each customers on daily basis to let them know about the latest ETA either.

You can b*tch when it's passed Oct 20th and there's still no official update. Til then, let's just sit tight and be reasonable.

I don't actually mind waiting. What I hate is the fact that we are left to speculate because Nokia simply will not come out and give us an official release date. Lets assume we are still on track for Mid Oct. Thats less than 2 weeks away and we STILL dot have a release date. That just strikes me as BS hedging so they can change the date and claim "Well we never gave an OFFICIAL date"

Regardless of how it strikes you, it's all speculation until we pass Oct 20th no?

Let's just wait and see. I'm not happy with it either, but I do not find it beyond reason. I was hoping to have it before I departed for Spain this weekend, but c'est la vie.

It's a semi experimental device.. it's no N97 (in terms of OS track record, captive market and general maturity).. we've been hearing of mixed accounts of problems with different stages of the prototypes (the ones given out to various reviewers).

Just give em time and give yourself a slack. I know how we can be impatient when we're all hungry.. but don't blame the cook for not following our own timetable when they're trying to make the best in the kitchen
