Well in that article linked to above, it did appear that SE was denying any delay, and of course the Voda date doesn't necessarily mean the handset itself is delayed. It may just be the Voda version - afterall if they do what they did to the P910i then they customise it a fair bit and lock down WAP/Internet settings etc and that may explain a delay on launch.
You'd also have to say the date moving from 21st of one month to the same date the following month is probably just a "guesstimate" in the same way play.com changed the date from 01/05 to 01/06 - they don't have any better info than anyone else and are probably just guessing.

@jonny5, when the P900 came out Orange had it months before Vodafone (in the UK). There are two rumours that either T-mobile or O2 seem to have negotiated the first network ready handsets. But I think SIM free versions will be available first.

CPW have said may for ages.
As for the delay, while SE say "There is no delay" do we actually know the release date they have set themselves? If they set the release as september then sure, there is no delay.
Vodafone version will no doubt be late as they will change the thing and ruin it as much as they can and most likely ask SE to provide them with the oldest firmware they can find so they can give it to everyone as that.

@Peterkay, to be honest I don't know why anyone asks CPW for dates coz in my experience they only know once they have them in their warehouse.
they told you May a couple of days ago but even their May catelogue says expected July!

Looks like we'll just have to wait as we did for the P800 a few years back.

All we know is that SE is sticking to a June release, all other things are rumors
I myself i´m waiting for the unlocked version, that might come before any operator version...
