So how is pointing out what appears to be a short supply chain assoicated with a new product launch "blasting" Nokia? By the way, I have a vested interest in seeing the 770 succeed. I don't want to spend $350 on it only to have Nokia drop it from their product line due to poor sales.

The availability press release has been issued and was picked up by various news sites. Perspective customers have and will start going to Nokia's site to try and buy one. If all they see is "out of stock" or "coming soon" day after day with no word from Nokia on when to expect units, that will surely hurt the 770's long-term success. Better for some tech reporters to make inquiries and report on what's going on so potential consumers have realistic expectations about when they can get their hands on one.
