I disagree entirely. It staved people from jumping on the iPhone 5.
That is true I was completely set on getting a new iPhone 5, and the lackluster launch changed my mind, however this is getting pathetic, we are nearing November and we have no idea when its launching, first it was Nov 4, now it apparently is Nov 12. How long before it gets pushed to end of November, if they don't announce it Monday I am just gonna skip the Lumia 920 and get an iPhone 5, might not be the phone I want but it is a phone I can buy instead of waiting 2-3 months after announcement to get.
The point is if you are gonna convince people to wait you have to deliver and communicate to them why its worth it to wait, if you don't keep up with tech the Nokia 920 is-int even on your radar, and because it has been announced already, the media will just mention it in passing the second time. I am beginning to think that something is up with WP8 that it is int launching with W8, we shall see son enough, this whole launch has been very frustrating so far.
