hey bug them you;ll get it... i paid for overnight first then after i complained and then they didnt charge me for overnight but still gave me overnight

So in order to push them at a higher price from their own store, they're waiting to release the orders to 3rd party retailers. That might also explain Nokia's recent price cut. Just a thought...

That is exactly what I think is happening. I smell a big fat rat!!!

Somedude got his from Nokia almost immediately:

I too was on the phone with Dell yesterday. I wanted an explanation for why orders that were placed after mine were shipped already. They explained to me how it works. Basically, as an order is placed with Dell, it is automatically sent to Nokia for fulfillment. They had no explanation as to why Nokia chose to ship some orders before the older ones. That is still a mystery. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to get to the bottom of it. Without legal action that is.

If someone inside Nokia can provide evidence of foul play things can get ugly, but it would be much appreciated.

Well I am not a big of a writer so sorry I cannot write any review but I can answer every question you want to know about the phone and can test other stuffs you guys want me to check but nothing extreme because I am still on the first step of learning this phone.
