no suprises here really, it was never likely to happen to be fair. With a debut at Cebit this pretty much confirms everyones worst fears......we will not be seeing the M8 till around may/june possibly even later. Very dissapointing to be fair. 5/6 monthes in tech is a very very long time. By the time this comes to market there is likely to be quite a few devices that surpass the M8. If devices such as the rumoured Nokia N99 (Nokia N99 = Cell Phone + PDA + UMPC) become a reality i'm affraid that the M8 will be out of date before it's release. Nevertheless this does not mean they won't have success in China but I don't think it will sell well in the west as there will be a new iphone and many new products from the big manafacturers like nokia and sony ericsson which will outspec and out perform the M8. I still would like to get an M8 but if something comes along in the meantime to surpass it I cannot gaurantee I won't get something else. It was a terrible miscalculation on behalf of the company IMO particularly as they are trying to gain popularity in the western market.
