Looks like the final software only came out today! so if they have shipped last week, then they shipped with old firmware - and an update will be required.
I wonder if Nokia will do this for each device before shipping or just rely on OTA update.
Either that or the device didnt ship like they said and hence the additional delay.

I have no secondary card for them to try, unfortunately. At some point very soon I'll be effectively forced to put in an order with Newegg or Amazon, I'm afraid. And then perhaps I'll have to wait even longer. Rant rant rant.
Saving an extra $50 will pay for this http://www.jr.com/nokia/pe/NOK_DC11/ Extra battery power and charging FTW

I really cannot see Nokia sending them out with beta software.
This might explain why Nokia and MPD are sending out devices in November and all other retailers are now saying end of Dec.
I cannot imagine Amazon or BestBuy flashing devices, they will simply wait for the second batch.

There wasn't reason to release it before because public don't yet have the production devices. (Pre-production devices are another story.)

check this out. i haven't called them but they're saying it's available in stores. i'm not from california maybe someone from cali can verify
He stated that the system will usually show they have items in-stock, even if the item hasn't been unpacked from the truck. As soon as the truck arrives at the specific store, the system and thus the website get updated to show it's actually in-stock. Guy said to call back in about four hours and he should now for sure.
