Why not?

At least Nokia Finland and Sweden states that the 920 will availeable with LTE support. All three major networks in Finland support LTE. LTE is already set up in Nordic countries. I would assume its at least fairly common in rest of Europe as well.

Shattered? No. More like disappointed in Nokia for backing the wrong operating system with a better spec'd device that I'd rather be running MeeGo.

The funny or rather sad part is that Elop said that 3 MeeGo phones would be developed in 3 years (N9, N950, N9-01). How in the hell they managed to develop 5 Lumia devices? By simply overusing the N9 design. The amount of fail in Elop's speeches. It's clear he has MS on mind first, Nokia second. And another thing I hate, MS is mentioned much more than Nokia. I love what this guy said, "it used to be Nokia world, not Microsoft world."

How many of you are bothered about the thickness of Lumia 920? Is it too thick compared to today's generation high end smartphones?

My understanding is that referred to the real MeeGo devices. N9/N950 are maemo devices with MeeGo API compatibility.

Nevertheless, I agree it was smokescreen and not honest assessment.

No argument there.

But we have Jolla. So I'm not "shattered" by these new Lumias. Just a little melancholic about the choices Nokia made.

2 of the 3 op criteria met by N9. As of now,harmattan is more mature than wp8 and is more capable as an OS thAn wp8. So why wp over harmattan? stupid board, lying sack of shot elop.

That isn't strictly true.

In 2011, Elop sat down with the Meego team to discuss the roadmap for Meego devices. What he found was that their roadmap consisted of releasing 3 devices between 2011 and 2014. Apparently, that was the "Oh *****, we're fcuked" moment that then motivated Elop to get into discussions with Google and Microsoft. Google never even tried to cut a deal to get Nokia onboard, so that left Microsoft as the only partner.

We have nothing until we see an actual product (or even a legit photo).

*only thing we have is our beloved N9/50s

Yep he was, & it was subsequently torn to pieces by Felipe Contreas, one of Nokia's main MeeGo prototyping engineers (or was, not sure sure if he still is).

No, the "oh ****" moment wasn't to do with ramping-up prototypes (it was about a range of other -still highly debatable- factors), he threw in that red-herring later.
That red-herring then ended-up being widely reported as THE single-biggest factor (alongside the "oh ****" stuff) which it wasn't, not even close.
