I think part of the reason for the delay is that this time Microsoft aren't just releasing a mobile OS and then letting the manufacturers install it on whatever hardware they like. They're being far more strict with base hardware requirements, form factor etc, as they want the OS experience to be a lot more uniform across all manufacturers.
Integration is being driven in 2 different directions as well... those who want it as a business device, Exchange functionality etc etc, and those who want it as an extension to the Zune/Xbox platform, with support for a Motoblur-style social networking hub.
I wish they'd get a move on and just release a unit, but I can understand them wanting to get the recipe 'right' before releasing to the unwashed masses.
