Its an event mostly for southeast Asia & Pacific, so why are people surprised the Device might be unveiled by a Australian?

We're a tiny market despite high mobile device usage.
Singapore, bankers to the Asian market and gateway to China, the worlds largest (and one of the fastest) growing economies.
Also a key focus of many corporations looking to expand into....

Considering the confidentiality with the FCC expires on the 24th, I don't know what else it could be. Only 92000 units being made, so it'll definitely be another n900 in terms of support, but that does not really bother me. Wonder when it will go on sale....

Nice idea, but they call it a market-disrupting device, so it'll be the first Microkia abomination.
(I'd love to be wrong on this, of course...)

This is because the current "leadership" believes that they're actually going to gain market share from iPhone and Android with this not-even-polished turd.

They just picked up some bits and pieces of information and rumours, all of which have been posted around here already. Don't put any credence to that.

Yeah, all still rumours. I'd hope for community engagement if it was being announced somehow and there is all but none.

This is more than a rumor

Date: Tuesday 21st June, 2011

The new device will be unveiled and demonstrated for the first time by Kurt Bonnici, product and technology marketing manager at Nokia Australia. There will also be a live broadcast of Stephen Elop’s keynote speech from the Nokia Connection conference in Singapore.
That is about as much of a confirmation as you will get from Nokia

They will disrupt themselves in the process. The only recent disrulptive devices in the past 5 years have been produced by Apple.

The device will not be Unveiled in Australia or announced to World from there.
