"Out now for Somali pirates" might be a more accurate description

Ok they haven't lied ---- accepted --- but then that makes them a completely incompetent business from a sales / customer service point of view!!

Call of Duty -- got released exactly when they said - just an example! millions of copies sold!!!

MW2 got released on time and the online PS3 version is broken.
Would you prefer it if Nokia released the N900 broken too?

Its not the delay - its truthful communication that's lacking - give an exact release date to the end consumer and live up to it!

Their competitors can - its not rocket science - no wonder Nokia are where they are - its their own fault!

Exact release date where? In UK, US, Indonesia, South Africa or Brazil? Would you like all the other markets to wait before they put the devices on sale until even the most remote locations have some in stock? Not to mention that there are several retailers in each market. Do you mean a release date when you will be able to walk to your nearest brick&mortar shop and buy one off the shelf? Or do you want a release date when your pre-order will arrive by mail to your doorstep?

Dall of Duty was stockpiled in the storerooms of many/most shops for several days before the release date.

I think he's just asking for an individual retailer (whether that be a bricks and mortar store or an online company) to communicate directly and honestly with its customers about when a product will be dispatched. Noone's asking them to know about the release date in other countries or even the release date of other companies in the same country. This is something I would expect them to...well, you know..actually know, what with it being their business and everything.
