I agree totally. This is the worst handling of a product release I've ever seen. I'm almost to the point of thinking that Nokia might be doing this on purpose, just for the popularity it is bringing the device. Granted, it's not all positive, but it is getting the device talked about and anticipated more than if it had been a smooth launch. It reminds me of how Apple created artificial "demand" for the release of the very first iPhone. There were "limited amounts" on sale at each store for the first few days of release, making people line up just for a chance to get one. But, there was no real shortage of devices, Apple just purposely shipped only a few to each Apple and At&T store each day to create the lines and "look" of a high in demand device, generating more buzz. Apple even admitted this later. But, that was handled pretty smoothly, and there were at least devices getting into the public's hands. This is just piss-poor planning by Nokia.
