I know that this isn't possible for Nokia but it wouldn't bother me if the phone is not consumer ready. I bought the Neo Freerunner a while ago and ordered one of the first G1 developer phones directly from US just to play around.
Nokia ... just listen to me ... I want it now

I dont care for companies that will accept money and not give specifics....to me once you allow retailers to start collecting money, you should know enough about the product by that point to give detailed and concrete release information.
Only crappy retailers have accepted any money and that has little to do with Nokia. Most retailers will not take the money until the device ships so your argument of "once you allow retailers to start collecting money, you should know enough about the product by that point to give detailed and concrete release information" is completely false, because they aren't collecting any money.
Seriously, anyone who is willing to cancel because it hasn't been launched yet when it has only been said it would launch "some time in October" must have more serious issues. I sold my Xperia X1 to get the N900, I am stuck with an old Samsung that ONLY works as a phone, no other fancy stuff, but you don't see me complaining.

I've speculated end of October since the start of the thread, and it doesn't seem like you've taken that into consideration, but only taken into consideration the dates that seem to make you happy: mid October. That's kind of like selective reading, and only leads yourself into disappointment.

I really feel your frustration as I'm waiting eagerly for this phone too, but I think dishing it out at Nokia is wrong. To my knowledge (be free to correct me), Nokia has only given out one date since the beginning, which is week 44/ 26-31st of October. Now if they push back from that date, then I can see you getting frustrated.
Think about it this way...
If we were to collect all the speculated dates in this thread and plug it into excel, the median (I don't know if I'm using it right, haven't taken a stat class in a while) date would probably still be around mid - end of October, and taken into consideration that this thread is probably way biased and would skew the date quite a bit...
edit: Also I doubt that there's going to be any kind of announcement for the release during the weekend

hm, so i call today to Nokia Czech... and a lady picks up the phone and i ask... "Do you know what kind of keyboard will the Czech version have?" ..and she says.."QWERTZ, but localised..."..now what does that mean lol? And then she says without me asking.. "We will have the first batch last week of October. Anyone selling in Czech the device prior to that timeframe are fakes, bootlegs, so don't get these. And the price will be $849 (instead of $879)...hm...did she say something she shouldn't have or I don't know? Coz i phoned the same number a week ago and they didn't have a clue...

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:07.
I do a agree that it is ridiculous that Nokia gave out 300 phones and there are only a few feedback's posted anywhere- and most of those were BEFORE the phones were given out.
Possibly Nokia gave them the phones for direct feedback to Nokia, rather than a preview blitzkrieg to us.
