You will be hard pressed to find any phone by Nokia that was not a Symbian phone that was announced and released quickly.

That is not how Nokia rolls. They announce, delay... delay... then release. As I see it, the Nokia N9 is no different than any other release before it.

There's still a few rumored for August IIRC.
But they'll no doubt be pushed into September, knowing Nokia.

Ah I remember these guys. They got a pretty good rep. IIRC.
They were among the 1st to get the N900 into Australia.
$749 AUD's pretty damn good for 64GB don't ya'll reckon?
At least at this early stage....

Odd thing is. There's been a bunch of Symbian phones announced since June 21st.
And some of them are looking quite likely to come out before the N9 AFAICS.

I mean if it was released now and its as good as it lock more people will have it when iphone5 is release and they know more what it has and can say "N9 already has blablabla" now instead media will continue overhype Iphone5 release and MrFlop this because he and the rest of the board is ignoring the facts that N9 WAS liked by media when announcded and could very well sell very well. Instead Q3 will also fail.

The board inside Nokia is just a bunch of idiots It seems...

The phone is going to be out when it's ready. Stop being insulting when you don't know what's really going on. People get pissy when Nokia overlooks little issues in software development, but you have no idea what kind of hell would break lose if they'd do product releases the way you are advocating. No it's not good enough if "it seems to work fine for some people".

There is no conspiracy.

Getting N9, but I don't think it will compete with the iPhone for the every day ease of use. I have always used nokia phones in the past and have no desire to change from nokia to others. Apple and nokia have superior designs. However, nokia lost the OS and design war to Apple. The war is over and N9 will not change that. Not radical enough to make a dent.

What do you really want, a phone that is easier to use than the iPhone, or a phone that is _radically_ easier to use than the iPhone? If the N9 is "just" better, it's not good enough for every day use?

You make a lot of assumptions, to which I just say: Wait for the detailled reviews. We'll all know more when the device is actually out and people start using it on a daily basis (other than biased devs like me). What seems already clear though is that it's either going to be awesome or... awesome with flaws.
