Just had an interesting chat with the Windowsphone website support chat thingie.
They are aware that people are getting very frustrated, and the staff on the front line are getting very frustrated as both customers and representatives of MS, as they are not being given any information either. I *think* the guy was being honest with me.
The official line is still that as testing is completed for each device/region/operator it will be released. I did point out that that is not proving to be the case. His answer was he did not know the actual criteria management were using before releasing.
It might be hours away, it might be days, it might be weeks. The front-line staff know no more than anyone.
Nokia just responded to a tweet saying when tested it will be released - tell us something we haven't heard before!
