To me, earliest is September, but October is more a realistic month. I dont know, but Nokia takes too long to release their phones unlike Samsung after announcement because Elop is sucking America's c0ck, despite Nokia phones not doing well there compared to UK, France, Russia and India.
When Lumia 920 was announced last year (September i think), took us 3 months to get it - Late December. So, October for a phone announced in July might be more realistic. Q4 = the last 3 months Oct-Dec.
EDIT: ANother reason is to adjust Nokia's finances, most likely, If they mass launch this device in most countries, their Q3 might be profitable but their Q4 earnings might be in deep trouble. We will get the Lumia 625 first, maybe as early as August, so, Nokia's earnings will come from 625 for asian countries, and from 1020 for western countries for Q3.
Bro,
If you are in my shoe, you willing to make bet to wait right before Wedding?
I am still in dilemma whether to get new phone for my wife.
My Scenario #1: Use an old feature phone and wait until October. If still no L1020, get L920.
My Scenario #2: Buy L920 now as most probably, L1020 released after October.
