I do not remember first of all there being a firm release date.
But that isn't the point.
Perceptions and expectations are everything. Mishandling them is not advisable.

seriously guys, i thought it was pushed back to mid-November, thats 15 nov. Now im reading 25 nov? is this for real?
Previous to that it was all "we expect by" so hopefully that does mean this is confirmed.

Love the comments about "growing up" and "maturity".
On the topic of maturity, I'm surprised that this thread has made it to almost 550 posts without any lego bestiality pics. Things are looking up!
We were all going a little insane, and I'm sure if I did a little research I could find some insane from you also.

I am not complaining. I want the phone to be released when it is ready.
However when I pre-ordered in September I chatted with a NokiaUSA representative who said that it would be shipped by the end of September. Then in October I had the same chat with two more NokiaUSA reps saying it would be shipped by the end of October. Nokia has not managed my expectations well.

it is completely logic that such a device is not shipping at the first set date.
if you go back in time the scheduled release was somewhere thought to be august or even july.
and if some people here actually had anticipated something before in their lifes they'd really badly wanted to see released very soon they wouldve known this delay is normal.
the more complex something is the longer the delay is between announcement etc.
f.e. an extreme thing, the freedom ship was a project from the 90's or maybe earlier. it has been delayed a million times and they havnt started building anything on it either. that is like the most extreme possible example to give here but it sure makes a point.
the positive thing about this is that you can come to the realisation that this is a much more complex device than any other phone on the market right now. which is good. if you think about it.
maybe i am wrong but i say at least 50% of the people here talking about it hyping it etc won't even use it 60% to its max capability's.
i thought this whole thread was a joke and i had some irritating people surrounding me when i got myself 'commited' to this thread because they jammed my brains all the time so i had to find a way to scr3w around a little. but now that's over and i actually don't know what i'm doing here still.
nobody cares about this bullcr4p anyway probably. and i hate teaching so i hope nobody learns anything from this but who cares anyway. let's jerk 0ff and play flash games 6 hrs a day already.

Mobile Phones Direct claim to have it CONFIRMED as arriving BEFORE 16th Nov to them. But they also quite cleared said they would get it first in the UK due to being affiliated with Nokia.

I really do not see how that could work as there would always be someone left saying "hey, I did xxxx on the condition I would get the phone on yyyy".
