For fun, let's revisit Vanjoki's comments from CEBIT in March:

CEBIT-Nokia set for September 3G handset launch
Tuesday March 12, 6:58 AM EST

HANOVER, Germany, March 12 (Reuters) - Leading phone maker Nokia said on Tuesday it was on track to launch a third generation handset (3G) in September, helping to ease fears that the move to mobile Internet services could be further delayed.

Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president for Nokia Mobile Phones, gave journalists at the CeBIT technology fair a fleeting glimpse of the product, which also features a camera, before tucking it back into his pocket.

"This is a real working, dual-mode 3G handset. That's the last you will see of it until 26 September at 12 o'clock when we will launch it with our partner (telecom) operators," Vanjoki said.

Nokia's comments are a boost to an industry which has invested over 100 billion euros in licences to offer high-speed 3G services, which will allow mobile phone users to download videoclips and access other multi-media services.

Nokia Mobile Phones President Matti Alahuhta said fears over the availability of 3G handsets had been overblown and that Nokia hoped to start shipping the product in big volumes in the fourth quarter of the year.
