I hope they do announce features soon instead of waiting for Build 12. It doesn't seem to make sense to not even announce the feature set until 3 days before it supposedly goes on sale. Maybe that is just wishful thinking. I can't wait to get the 920.
If they announce the feature set now, some people will complain that the time between announcement and availability was too long. They'll write endless posts about how MS is stupid.
If they wait, we're going to see a bunch of posts saying that they need to announce features NOW. They'll write endless posts about how MS is stupid.
The biggest winner here is Google, who gets to screw all its manufacturers by RTMing at the same time it releases its Nexus device, then all the tech pundits decide its the fault of the manufacturers for taking months.Lol, you can't please everyone.
Nokia will likely make it the phones cheap. but also profitable. maybe a little cheaper than the 32GB S3 and 32GB ip5 hundred dollars cheaper I think. since the 920 only comes with 32gb and maybe with 64gb. makes it a steal. But maybe recommend to a 820 insteadInstead of wasting it on food, give phones away or use that money for upgrade discounts

How long does it generally take a piece of software from RTM to actual release?
What does history tell us?
Wonder if MSFT will be announcing a new event soon?
To be fair, it would be Microsoft's fault either way. They announced the product and the end of WP7 development. In tech, you can't reasonably expect people to wait six months between a "this OS is EOL" announcement and details/availability of the replacement.If they announce the feature set now, some people will complain that the time between announcement and availability was too long.

But tones of people are buying the 920. But People are not buying BB's almost all of them are moving away from RIMTo be fair, it would be Microsoft's fault either way.

That is a big part of what is killing off RIM. BB7 is toast and BB10 is still vapor ware.
