Thank you. It is great that you are posting here. Thank you!!!

I am more concerned that a lot of you are better with English than I am and it is my native language

The date is fine for me. Gives me time to see how much better it will be, or if something bad (to me) is discovered, gives me time to cancel

Okay, who am I kidding- I want it now

Well, maybe the new delay is if you preorder the device now. For preorders made earlier this month and in September the date is still end of October. Who knows.

I don't want to pay for and depend on a device - and the support of the company selling it - whose purchasers are sh1t on even before delivery.

It's a shame there's a delay, but at the same time hopes are a terrible thing to damage.

Nokia seem to have done a good job firing up peoples' imaginations with the launch period, all the way through to the summit. Perhaps too good

So many people see so many ways they can add something beneficial to their lives with this device, they are brimming with enthusiasm, then their dreams are kicked in the teeth. I can understand how some may find that emotionally detrimental - and once Nokia loses their emotional investment, they begin to risk losing mind-share and ultimately business.

That said, shooting for an October release and slipping to November is hardly a showstopper - BFD Unfortunately, the party started at the beginning of September, and some people have a problem maintaining a 3 month hardon.

Does your Momma know you turned out to be this big a Troll!

Thanks for registering to post that! Bye now!

Very good, my friend.

Oh, bloody hell. To all the people whining about it not being released, I'll just repost what I posted over at HoFo.

"Look at it this way. With any major project (especially hardware/software) there will always be issues/defects. ALWAYS. Things aren't shipped when they are "bug free" - they are shipped when there is reasonable confidence that the major issues have been identified and fixed or deemed low impact. I'd rather a company be honest and delay something a little rather than chuck it out the door with what may possibly be serious defects.

What would happen to the device's reputation and future sales if they prematurely sent it out the door knowing there is a possibility of something going horribly wrong? Look at the guest account issue with the latest version of OS X, for instance. Some more exposure to beta testers may have very well exposed that issue, who knows; yet obviously the decision was made to release it. It is also quite likely that some people in Apple's release management team were aware of it and decided that it is not that likely end users would follow that scenario."

I think r0eladn is a good example of somebody losing their emotional investment due to disappointment.

Now, you can choose to understand his perspective or you can ridicule him, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that this behavior is symptomatic (rightly or not) of the sequence of events that Nokia have played a significant part in determining.

A slight tweak in Nokia's tactics may have averted such a toxic atmosphere.
