The delay to the N91, N80 and the Eseries models all comes down to problems finalising Series 60 3rd Edition. Now that's stable, you'll see that all the kit arrived pretty much at the same time.
Mark Squires, head of Communications for Nokia, said that the new models would be out in July - and the FCC approval confirms this (although, it's possible unforeseen circumstances could change this - especially as most stock is still approved/branded by a network before going on sale).
You'll see that now 3rd Edition is 'finished', they've already announced a further two products.
Ditto with SE. UIQ 3.0 isn't quite there, but SE want the M600 to have a head start (it will need it with the quirky keypad), so that's had a knock on effect with the P990.
I guess this is always a problem with any smartphone.. it's as much reliant on the software (including developer support) as the hardware.
