Shipping *starts* 30 July but varies greatly by region ... Asia will only see it in late September 

So it's in fact 365 days late in some countries. I think it's a great product, finally a RIM-style device with Win Mobile. Pity it's a year late though ... it will suffer greatly by players that bring to market much faster such as Apple with the iPhone 3G and HTC with Diamond and Raphael ...
