True - this phone will be released as obsolete.

I am thinking more like February 24. That's when the Mobile World Congress

convenes and Nokia has a press event scheduled. Not to burst anyone's

bubble, but if I were going to make an announcement, I'd probably schedule

a press event for it. It would be great if it came out on the 5th. I just

don't think that's in the cards.

I'm not so sure. Would it make sense for Nokia to unveil a phone that's only going to be on one carrier, one that still appears to be hostile to windows phone I might add, will only appear one country (china doesn't really count cause they were getting rid of stock) at a multinational press conference in a way that says, hey sorry world but this phone that so many of you guys think is the perfect size, it's a Verizon exclusive so you can't get it. That's almost guaranteed to tick of all of Nokia's fans instead of just us poor fools still putting up with Verizon. They may release it the 24th but they sure aren't dumb enough to alienate everyone by drawing attention to an exclusive phone. Just my two cents.

good point. but it's so late in the game that all our conjecture seems

pointless. Samsung is getting ready to bring a 20 MP phone to market and

historically they can do it faster than other mobile mfg's. Hopefully

Microsoft will change that.

No apologies needed.  Just a failed attempt at trying to lightheartedly point out that you posted the exact same news as I did five posts up. BTW, who's Francis?

No the apology should be mine. I assumed you were upset. Sorry I didnt see

your post. "Lighten up Francis" is a line from the 80's comedy movie

Stripes with Bill Murray. http://youtu.be/tpAW0xiP98c
