Of course it could be that they only had one in stock and it took their best sales assistant twenty minutes to sucker some mug into buying it.

This smells like of one of WinKia's marketing stories to me (like the 900 outselling the iPhone in China, remember that?), let's wait and see what the numbers really are.

I read a comment on another site suggesting the 800s were all price dumped in just a few countries (UK and Italy being amongst them) in order to give the impression there's been a sudden jump in demand for Windows Phone in certain markets. Another desperate attempt at creating a 'positive buzz' around Windows Phone? I'll titter if Elop does make that boast in NOKIA's financial statements at the end of the quarter.
