I suspect that in the case you describe they had already been shipping devices from the factory to the shops over a period of maybe weeks already. And they didn't then announce the date when the shipping to shops started. The latter is what Nokia has done. (And then there are the pre-orders, directly with Nokia and with e.g. Amazon.)
