What I am really afraid ...

Windows Phone 7 Series ... phone ... will NOT be released on the same time for the whole world.

Meaning, it will be first released in the United States .... Just like Zune

Meaning, for the rest of the world, we will have to wait longer (3 months? 6 months? 1 year? more?) ...

To anyone who is attending MWC ... Can you ask this to Microsoft? Or gather any info link to an answer / confirmation? ...

Microsoft said Christmas 2010. They released WinMo 6.5, a minor release, everywhere worldwide in October 2009. There's no reeason to think they wouldn't release this major new 7 version worldwide.

Yep, plus this is not something you get on CD or DVD, you get it on your phone so they release it to all manafactureres at once. it's up to the manafacturer to sell @ this location or not

HTC releases all their new phones to the world first and six months later we get them here in the US,

It is only right when a US company releases something " we " should get it first for a change

I don't know, but I do remember an HTC rep saying that. That would be weird though, because HTC almost always releases their new phones in every country but the US first (very, very annoying).

Don't feel to bad, Canadians sometimes don't even get the Device at all....

Australia is pretty bad in getting new devices as well... Oh wells, a trip to Hong Kong should suffice.

You should feel lucky; Can u imagine living here in Brazil, paying a high import tax which makes a simple U$ 600 gadget become as expensive as U$ 1200.
HTC lauched here its "latest" gadget: the new HTC Diamond. (It makes me laught)
Nothing like a trip vacation to get everything in US or Europe.
