I am home visiting my parents this week and was in my local town centre running some errands, when I thought I would pop into a few of the local phone shops to see if any of them had heard anything about a release for the 930. I went into Carphone Warehouse, two Phones4u stores, a Three store and an O2 store, and all of them gave me the same answer - they were marked as coming soon/tba on their internal systems with a tentative release date of June. Anything beyond this they couldn't tell me but told me to keep an eye on the websites because about a week before they get the devices in, the websites will be updated.
However, all this changed when I went into the EE store - the advisor seemed very knowledgeable and passionate and when I spoke to her, she said she had a long conversation with the Nokia representative a couple of days previously. He told her that the 630 and 635 would be first and released at the same time, before the end of June (this isn't really news as its available in Carphone Warehouse already). However, she was told that Nokia had been having "manufacturing issues" with the 930 and this was even bringing great annoyance to the Nokia executives because they feel like their hands are tied. And because of this, she said the release date might get pushed back until September (!!!)
So, I ask you UK residents who are waiting on the 930, is this satisfactory? I am a little miffed because I am really waiting on it but if there is nothing Nokia can do then it can't be helped, I just wish they would communicate with us better on what the situation is. However, I think if it does get pushed back to September then it is truly disgraceful, especially since we were promised it would be released in June.
