Dumb thread is dumb. Announce your product early so consumers know what to expect. Trying to hide all the info until it is ready to launch is an inferior tactic. Just because Apple does it that way, that doesn't make it right.
Why is that how it's done?
Especially when the final build of WP8 may not have passed all QA tests yet.
Imagine Nokia announcing a release date, then having to delay it because there was a bug found in WP8 QA that had to be fixed before release. THAT would be worse.

The iPhone5 announcement was a disaster.
This is NOT how you do it Nokia.
I disagree this once. Nokia did the right thing. It was better to announce before the iPhone 5 without a product. Why?
Because everyone is comparing the iPhone to the Lumia 920 and for all intents and purposes the Lumia 920 comes out ahead.
The problem I have with the OP is that the thread title is negative, and is very pro Apple.
I honestly don't believe your next phone is a lumia 920 (Love you to prove me wrong with a photo when you get it).
Why else would you go to the trouble of posting the screenshots you did which is basically telling people when and how much it will be..
These are the kinds of threads I am getting at in my earlier thread.
Hardly a way to promote an ecosystem that you say you are buying into by promoting the competition with huge screenshots..
So yeah...
By all means prove me wrong..
All the posts above goes to show fan boys are d*cks any where you go on the internet. I was stupid to think this forum would be different. If you read my OP again, you will see that it was about the iPhone 5 launch dates, prices and countries and nothing more. I didn't say anything about the iPhone 5's features or lack thereof or how it competes with the Lumia 920.
Why are you guys so insecure? My next phone will be a Lumia 920. Too bad I will be part of another iSheep or Fandroid community with just a different name. I honestly thought the WP faternity was going to be different and above petty attacks. I was mistaken.
You are not much of a winner when it comes to reading comprehension are you?
This was the title of my thread: "This is how you do it Nokia - watch and learn".
The only things I highlighted/bolded in my OP were the dates, so you had to know that was the focus of the thread. There wasn't a single word about the iPhone 5's features or how it lined up against the 920.
The fact that you jumped all over this thread without even bothering to understand what the point of the OP was speaks more to your insecurity about Nokia and WP than my supposedly misleading thread title.
Like I said, my next phone is a Lumia 920. My only problem with Nokia's launch was lack of concrete dates and availability. They have a lot to learn from Apple in this regard. But I am sure Nokia and MS will get there eventually.
In fairness to Nokia, they can't release a phone without an OS, so we're actually waiting on Microsoft. And Amazon has a number of Kindle releases before November, my Kindle Fire HD 7 will be arriving in the next 5 days.
Then it's Nokia's fault for announcing a device when the OS isn't ready.
Yeah inferior. That's why they sell twice as many products in a weekend than Lumias ever.
