I agree... There's also another issue to consider: in the marketing 
threads it was said that the first "thousands phones" will have more 
goods in their box, so this makes me think that only people buying a v5 
will get these things.

My personal position is now quite singular, since I'd like to get the 
best hardware I can (since I know there's it already) but I also need a 
phone (but with good power management and so good daily usage) as soon 
as I can.
