The Nokia N900 is now available to US consumers
Available? WTF? Available to me means I can order today and have it tomorrow!!! I got no clues what those Nimrods at Nokia think available means!

I've seen this with software but I cant recall a time i've seen this happen
with any device.
Usually the stock of hardware wont really arrive early at all.
Any 'big' launch happens this way. iPhones, Wii, PS3 , XBox etc.etc - They were all in many shop store-rooms days before 'launch'. I never said that there's always enough stock at each store to meet demand, however

I called the New York flagship yesterday and was "encouraged" by the smug woman on the phone to put my name on a call-list. As she explained it they already had over 200 names on their list and weren't even receiving that many phones. Although supposedly she couldn't give me any info about them getting the phones other than it'd be before Thanksgiving, but ballparking stock status is OK to try and get me to go on their call-list). I declined this opportunity rather than bothering to explain how *****ic the whole situation and idea of pre-ordering was, especially since she just said they wouldn't even be getting 200 phones.

The thing that irks me is there often (usually I would bet) is plenty of stock, whether its being held back by the manufacturer or by the stores.
