At this point nothing is “better than nothing” because you cannot possibly have enough data to make an accurate prediction since the people building and shipping the phone do not have enough information to make an accurate prediction. You all keep feeding this impatience monster you keep as a pet and it is impossible that it will turn out well. You’ll either guess that shipping will happen sooner than reality and be angry when it doesn’t prove true or you’ll guess that shipping will happen later than reality and be angry because “it’s taking too long.”
No good will come of this, I promise you, because there is ample evidence on this forum that exercising impatience has made people angry ever since Aspen.
