Hi all, I don't have much of a history on these forums, and I have no links to give you or proof, so yeah I guess you can either choose to believe this or not... I wouldn't blame ya if you dont! 
Anyway, yesterday I was walking through a big shopping mall, and I passed an AT&T mini vendor (those little shops that carriers set up like hot-dog stands - is there a name for those?). The employee behind the counter was doing something on a Nexus S (which is NOT an at&t phone; the gsm bands work but not 3g, so perhaps he was saving money by not paying for a data contract, or just has multiple phones and swaps the SIM cards around), and generally gave me the impression he is a tech geek.
Anyway, when I pass one of these stands and there aren't any other customers in line, I usually ask the employee a quick question about something unannounced in the hope of getting a small leak (not that these employees are privy to tons of secrets, but they may see a thing or two every once in a while that isn't released to the public, like a SKU or something). Lately, I have been asking the question "when can I buy the motorola olympus" and the response is either "I don't know" or "I have never heard of it."
However, THIS time he said "Q1 of next year," without hesitating for a second. I then asked if it would be January and he said he didn't know for sure but that it was "possible." Then I leaned into him on specs, and he clammed right up, possibly realizing he shouldn't be talking about this phone, or (more likely) had no idea what any of the specs were.
So take this for what you will. Not really groundbreaking or certain news, but I'm on AT&T so I really hope this phone makes it to my network. If you're curious, this was at park city center in Lancaster, PA.
