It'll be like this at every stage in the release.

I said it a month ago but here it is again - people won't know they're getting it until they get a dispatch notice or walk into a shop and get it. Nokia releases are always horrible with customers having no clue what's going on.

For example two years ago I wanted to buy an N82. It was "released" in September or October but I literally couldn't find it for sale anywhere and nowhere knew when they'd get it. I eventually had to buy one on ebay shipped from Hong Kong. The device didn't show up with European retailers until January. What happened in the two-three months between "release" and availability? Who knows.

If you want a Nokia device and it's for sale, then great! If you want a Nokia device and it's not for sale yet you better have a lot of patience.
