As long as they've got our orders they can delay the release as long as they like, and they will do. At least until Xmas. They know that we want the phomputer anyway. If more and more of us would cancel their order, this would be a signal that Nokia might loose fans if they won't hurry. But some of us think tey can have their baby a few days earlier if they hold their order. They think it for weeks already, haven't learnt anything.
This thread is best marketing for Nokia, why shouln't they heat it up by further and further delays?

lol didnt the same thing happen with COD:MW2? all PC player boycotted it and it still is the broken the records with the most pre-orders.

I read somewhere (unconfirmed) that PC pre-orders were 8% of all pre-orders.

Hahaha. I was thinking a roll of film, winding onto another roll of film, but yours is less practical and more amusing, so you win

Who on earth are you kidding? It's not random, it's come from someone, within that company.

I've actually done this before, I know how it works.

Except that due to feedback from those who have been potty trained, you'll push it back by a month?

My canceling of my MW2 pre-order makes hardly any difference to IW, but I feel much better not paying console prices for shait console ports of what could have been the next great PC FPS.

If anything there's going to be an associated hit as early adopters tell anyone that will listen that Nokia's customer relations is a total shambles.

Finally, even if there is a good reason for the delay there's no reason not to just be upfront about it - seriously; how is the tight-lipped secrecy helping anyone?

Tehcnical staff will know when they have released their bit to QA and testing. They might even known when it's been signed off to production (though not always kept in the loop). The decision as to when it will ship is a logisitcs issue as much as marketing and frankly nothing to do with the technical peeps other than their initial input.
