Here are some conclusions that may be reasonable.

1. Blizzard is working on US server as the only one operating at the moment.
2. Only US players currently beta testing, as there are some bugs, and issues in the system
3. When US server is fully fixed the solutions to latest patch issues will be implemented instantly to EU and Asia servers.
4. When you are programmer and you have a bug you cannot estimate how much time you need to fix it. Both players and programmers want it ASAP. I believe that developers are working hard in that direction. Players can only wait. It may work after an hour but may last for a week.
5. If one don't have valuable official information it is better to say nothing
6. Latest official anouncement sais that "While we do not have an estimate for when phase two will be available for EU, we will provide an update tomorrow morning by 11:00 AM PDT. " This is accurate information and doesn't mean that EU server will start, only they will provide update at that time, whether it will be "we started EU" or "we still fixing the issue".
7. There is no point posting Blue post every hour or so to say "We are still fixing the things" as we know that without it
8. If you launch SC2 in EU it says clearly that server is down
9. However, I agree with idea that Blizzard could have diferent policy and make announcements in regular intervals, like twice a day or something, no metter if they are done or not. It would do great in reducuing forum posts here.

For everyone constantly updating and checking. First of all we're not going to hear a word before 20:00 CEST and second of all a blue pretty much spilled the beans and said that "We're working really hard to get it out before Monday" which pretty much translates to "It will quite certainly not be out before monday"

The main reason for the delay of the non-US versions are the different timezones.
Despite our efforts in genetic engineering we're still unable to provide you with enhanced versions of our Developers capable of working for 24 hours a day

You are right, US Beta was launched before the European one. But our US players experienced several issues with that version and we chose to fix those issues before launching Phase Two in other regions.
The main problems were fixed yesterday evening (EU time) and therefore we're now working on the non-EU versions.
After release we'll try to minimize these kind of differences between US and non-US versions, given the fact that the timezone issue will still be there and there will always be a minimum delay, just like we're doing with WoW patches and so on.

I can assure you that we're doing our best to bring you back into Beta as soon as possible, please bear with us

Why are everyone making a big fuzz really? What would they win on NOT letting us EU players play? Nothing..

So just wait and let them do their job.

I don't know if you noticed... but looking at european beta threads, people from Blizzard Europe team seems to be way more kind and attentive to our messages. like +8 blue posts in some hours.

i find this really cool. Gogo blizzard europe!
