the difference is most other manufacturers don't announce the existence of products until its 100% ready to ship giving them a month to get it to market.
nokia always announce things way earlier than others when phone is in development still ,
so its a choice between openness or not knowing existence until it's ready to hit shops.
the n97 was announced like 7 or 8 months before released, where as the iphone 3GS was announced like 2 weeks before it was in shops.
would you rather not know at all or be part of the ride ?

Well, I asked nokia.uk over e-mail about my order a little over a week ago, and on the 12th they said 'tentative date' the 19th. I should probably have assumed that if the date is still tentative with 1 week to go, then clearly they aren't going to make it.
This morning I received an e-mail from Nokia, first thing...I opened it with excitement to find...it was a request to feed back on their service having contacted them previously. ;-(
No other word from them yet. I've e-mail again to see if we can do better than 'tentative'
It does seem strange that they can't be more fixed in their predictions. And it really is poor that they haven't kept pre-order customers in the loop without us having to chase for details. What could possibly be going on with their logistics if they are unable to specify a date with confidence, when we are supposedly so close to it?

I believe from what Peter@Maemo said (in another thread), they were hoping for a software update by December time. Hell, we're getting to December after next week...

Just FYI
It is possible that we may all of us who preordered on amazon.com may have to pay $610 instead of the $560 most of us are expecting.
Source: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...8502#guarantee
If you read the text of the "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" it specifies that the product must be a "book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item". I believe we should get the lowest price. Hopefully amazon.com does too. I should be hearing back from them regarding this soon. I'll let you all know what they say in the morning if I have the email. Night all! (I'm in Perth, Australia: GMT +8)

Pre-Order Price Guarantee
Amazon.com's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it is released and shipped. Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you place your order and the release date. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of the price change.
Please note that our Pre-Order Price Guarantee applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site.
If your order enters the shipping process before the release date and the price is lowered on the release date, we will automatically refund your credit card for the difference between the price you were charged and the release-date price. If you did not use a credit card to pay for your order, please contact customer service through the Contact Us box on the right side of any Help page.
