If they want to release the device in September, announcing the device on June is too early, but unveiling the OS would be OK (Apple announced iOS 5, but no iPhone 5 after all, and they are the ones that master the art of creating hype around your product).
And now some wishful thinking (not a forecast, just a pipe dream): On February, I thought that "MeeGo is for future disruptions" was stupid PR talk. Now I still see the word "disruption" used in Nokia Conversations, and so on. Maybe Elop is not that stupid after all. Maybe he still bets on MeeGo, but wanted to buy it some time adopting other OS in the meantime. Adopting Android would mean the death of WP, and the coronation of Android as king of the world, so it would be a too strong enemy for MeeGo. Right now is "a three horse race", so MeeGo has two powerful enemies instead of one almighty one.
I still think that WP is a bad idea. If I were Elop, I would say that the company is slowly replacing Symbian with Android and MeeGo. Why? Because the OS is no longer the ecosystem. The ecosystem is Qt, and with Qt developers almost don't have to worry about the OS choice, and users will have up to date applications. But well, I'm a Qt fanboy, so it's only logical that I think this.

I doubt that WP7 phone will be announced in Singapore. They want the american market and I think that WP7 will be announced in US. Meego or whatever phone will likely target Asia, hence Singapore

Signature on Sallimus's posts says it all:
"If I wanted an iPhone, BB, Android or WP7 phone, I would have bought one already."
At least for me it is true.

Android would have been a horrible choice, because it lacks the style and exclusivity needed by Nokia if they want to have any chance of returning to former glory.
If they can kickstart WP7, and at the same time shake up the market with an innovative device that is somewhat ahead of its time, then Nokia is going to be back on the map.
It's a bold plan that can very easily fail, but Elop certainly is more likely to pull this off than his predecessors. I'll remain hopeful that jumping of the platform may lead to new grounds in the end, until the sharks have had their meal.

i have played around with HTC desires.. and although they seem fast and snappy at first.. they freeze a hell of a lot.. the internet browser is a piece of........ poo..
There's nothing about an iPhone 3,4 or 5 that i want or need (and have grown to despise Apple anyways)..
So what choice does that leave... it's either Maemo/MeeGo or.. Windows Phone for me..
Here's a serious question.. what will MeeGo do that WP7 won't?

I must admit that WP7 could (not necessary) bring in better UI and graphics compared to Maemo / Meego
Personally I don't want to use windows on my handset, need a bit of freedom or choices for lack of correct words from of M$ it already controls desktop to text editor to spreadsheet to presentation to project management to email to ....... thankfully I have switched away from outdated IE to FF or Opera...
