Just got off the phone with a customer service representative at Amazon's cell phone department. At first she insisted that the phone has not been released and that they don't show anything in stock. I politely pointed her to the fact that it was selling on a number of places, and that even Amazon had sold a few units. Finally, she said she would put me on hold and contact Nokia to see whether the phone had been released. After a few minutes she got back with a slightly different tone. She now conceded that the phones are sitting in Amazon's warehouse but said that they cannot start shipping them until they receive the release notice from Nokia. She also said that when she spoke to Nokia they said that the phone would not be released until November 30 (which makes sense, considering Newegg's dates). She confirmed that once Amazon would get the release they would start shipping. She did not know (or at least she didn't say) how many units they have in stock vs. how many outstanding preorders they have. She did say that they were surprised by the volume of preorders. I guess that's five more days. If nothing happens by Dec. 1 I'm out of here.
