I contacted technodom.kz, they said August 26 is the correct date of their launch (+/- 1 day for customs clearance) and they will have all 3 colors, 16 and 64GB configs. Best part, it will be available in stores as well.

My gf is getting 2 so I could sell one on craigslist or smth. I am off to freeze myself until 26th.

Sounds like the average Finn to me.

I was just reminding that maybe things aren't as black and white as you and MANY others believe - which brings us to your next, valid, point:

This would go a long way to repairing that very quickly.
I originally thought that by now he'd clarify his statements regarding MeeGo and the funding and stuff related to that... As he was pretty loquacious with the media and the public until that interview. I have to think that Elop/Nokia is still calculating the options ( - or frantically at work with the Mango phone). But that actually means that I (and others?) don't understand why he's just waiting as it clearly is harmful to Nokia as a whole and particularly to the N9 and it's future - this (F), U and D gives a nice, warm cushion to those who rather see Nokia going all the way down. I also do believe that the U.S. media drives the negative publicity towards Nokia all around the world as they prefer to support Google and Apple as they are U.S. based... But that's speculative as well

Just wait. Hard to see, the future is.

Becuase it is expensive?

I think many of us forget that Nokia is a company who needs to make profit and satisfy its stakeholders.

Thanks, I'm usually the one pointing out the obvious...

The lack of communication is very frustrating, and the amount of mis-communication going on is maybe even more so.

I don't think that's likely because many of the commentators in podcasts and in articles will admit that they had owned a Nokia in the past and really had hoped to see underdogs like Nokia and Palm and others restore their former glory, but the heads of companies like these often make the mistake of slipping up in their own hubris and never bother to listen to said commentators or customers, and it's very hard to come back from such falls. Sony is one such titan, falling hard lately. Nintendo's hubris produced the Nintendo 3DS rather than a handheld people really wanted (but then, they also tripped with the VirtualBoy, so maybe Nintendo just can't do 3D platforms adequately) and Apple very nearly disappeared into obscure computing history before they got Jobs back and he delivered what the customers wanted--if you're going to pay a lot for something, make sure it "just works", make it simple and make it high quality. The iPod (like it or not) was just what many people wanted and it saved the corporation's bacon. Nokia needs something like that. Windows Phone 7 has clearly shown that it is not what the majority of the purchasing public wanted... and Windows is a Microsoft product... a U.S. product. So, I doubt that's the problem for Nokia even in the U.S. media.

Agreed. As I'd said earlier, actions will speak louder than words but I strongly suspect Elop has designed this plan in such a way that disaster is inevitable and we'll never get to know whether he would be the type of CEO to admit he was wrong and turn things around.
