The October 19th release is from an internal handset sheet my manager read and informed me about. Other than that I don't know what to tell you aside from it matches better with a release pushed back a month and two weeks from the second ( a month for Advocate program and the two week delay? ). Plus, most devices launch on a Sunday and OCtober 19th is, go figure a Sunday. September 2nd is a Tuesday... highly unlikely since Planogram is done on a Saturday for Sunday roll outs.
I'm not debating that the trainings and the release were close together, however my past experiences were Advocates usually get the phone at the latest a month ahead of the release.
