Nokia N9 Countdown Removed

Just two days ago, Nokia Sweden placed a 50-day countdown on their N9 Swipe website, suggesting a September 23rd release. Today, that countdown has been removed. As with all things, this can be interpreted in many ways. The pessimist in me would say that this is a sign of delays for the N9, which does sound plausible since... this is Nokia. Perhaps an optimist would say that Nokia has brought the release date forward and no longer saw a need for the countdown.

Another possibility is that this is only a temporary removal. The Javascript code for the countdown is still present in the website's source - maybe Nokia's just doing some maintenance? The drop-down menu showing the list of networks that will carry the N9 has moved to a lower position, could the countdown soon follow?
