This would explain why various shipments have been mentioned/rumored by customer reps but they have failed to ship to anyone here. I can only imagine how many units have been shipped out to various stores without ever fulfilling a single web order. No wonder they won't talk about the delays! No one wants to admit that there's been a bunch of units appearing and disappearing just as quickly to brick-and-mortar stores. It's obvious where the early adopters and ethusiasts fall in their scheme of things-- Dead Last.
You may be right, but there still isn't any proof. Personally, there are enough other irritants in my life that I'm not going to let myself get angry over an assumed slight by nokia. BUT, if I find out that compusa has these in stores before I get mine, with an order number of about 57210000, then I'll be right behind you handing you rotten tomatoes to throw.
