In the United States, Amazon and MobileCityOnline both have orders in to begin selling the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. Since Nokia hasn't yet given a date to retailers, companies such as Amazon are wary of advertising a product where the ETA is unknown. In the past, Amazon has allowed pre-orders where the ETA was unknown, I think it depends on the buyer (agent) at Amazon.

MobileCityOnline is a small retailer out of NYC, NY. I spoke with one of their managers on Monday, October 22nd. They have an order in with Nokia with 50 units (Model No: NOKN810, Nokia N810 Internet Tablet)

The only thing they were told was "mid-November". Nokia themselves aren't providing distributors with a fixed date. This doesn't make me comfortable about Nokia meeting their vague date or distribution amounts, but I'm comfortable with MobileCityOnline out of earlier business with them on SonyEricsson products.
