Maybe this fact may go some way to making people understand part of the reason the M8 has not been released yet.

Well you know that's not entirely true. When the specs were released last year april the cpu was already clearly specified. It was that cpu which proved to be "not good enough", which made them pick this Samsung one. What you say is correct, it just only explains the 2nd half of the total delay.

This Chip is 3G capable.

Which is unfortunatly not the same as having 3G. For the people who are not completely up to date, the first eversion of m8 will be 3G-less with a 3G-version planned for end-2008. Whn comparing the first m8 to other phones one has to keep this in mind, almost all phones have 3G nowadays.

Haha, I know what you're trying to point out as both of them are as bulky as hell. I am however under the impression that you can make a call on them, which makes them both phone and umpc.

Total number of phones with 16gb of nand flash on board >>> 2 I am aware of (apple iphone, Nokia N96)

Well phones running on a MicroSD SDHC can beat this 16Gb, Sandisk has an 8 gig now and is releasing a 16 gig card in the summerperiod.

You are making it sound like a phone without a cust WinCE is not as good as the m8 with it. So it's not really a statistical feature.
I think we should judge now whether August is a plausible releasedate with begin july as alpha-testing period. And how long it takes for a 3G followup, bacause the m8 now simply doesn't have that feature. If it would really just take them 4 extra months (aug-dec) for the improved 3G version, I wouldn't know who would want to buy the initial one. I mean, if you've already waited 18 months than 4 extra months isn't going to hurt you. First batches tend to have the most bugs anyway.
I do write this post in peace, mind you.
