I think Nokia is purposely holding them back. I've read countless posts from people stating they canceled their order with Buy.com/Amazon, and ordered direct from NokiaUSA...and their device was shipped immediately and received in a few days.

It's the Kindle / Nintendo Wii approach....make the product in high demand by having limited stock, and delays in shipping. Always claim it's backordered and sold out, and POOF, instant product success like the Wii and Kindle.
