If they had geared up for a proper release before it got cancelled I'd expect them to have more than a few hundreds units lying around, before these new rumours started Eldar tweeted something like Nokia would only sell 92,000 Meego devices, if his information got a bit confused that figure could have been referring to the dev phone and the amount they have already produced and needed to offload. So there might be enough that everybody here will be able to buy one, I wouldn't expect Nokia to sell them through normal retail channels though.
