If the order numbers are sequential it would be interesting to know what number they have shipped up to. Mine ordered in the US is 57237230. Nokia are taking so long I want them to send me an email before they ship to give me the option of cancelling rather than just have the bill arrive and them say it's coming. If I have to wait until January it could be obsolete by then!

If you are talking about usa sales then my order is almost 20,000 earlier then yours. I did order in the first few hours on the 14th, but I would be really surprised if they sold that many units. What seems more likely is that the order numbers are for the entire nokiausa store, and that they have some 20,000 orders of phones/cords/chargers, etc. instead of just 770s.
