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.
More commonly manufacturers, with big releases i have never seen much hardware stock if any come in early (by early i mean before its supposed to be sold). The only time i can say i've seen plenty of stock arrive before release is with games. I used to manage to warehouse in my old store so seen more than my fair share of deliveries come in. GTA san andreas for instance, we had loads of copies turn up maybe a week before release but this has never happened with hardware.
As far as i can remember when the wii was release we had i think 2 units turn up and again from memory i think these didnt show up till the day they were supposed to be sold.
I think we all just need to play that rather frustrating game of waiting for as long as it takes.

You'd get sacked for that one!

Seems like flagshipstoreUK removed the notice about N900 availability in store tomorrow.
Flagship won't have it tomorrow.
Just called Nokia telling them I'm going to cancel the pre-order and get it in the shop they said don't because stock is not due to arrive until Friday and flagship will definately won't have them to sell tomorrow...

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!
