Sold Out! wow

I was able to order one just now, are you in the US?

Thanks for the heads up, I used another browser and was able to buy it.

it seems to be intermittent... sometimes both black and white version of 16gb show as out of stock, sometimes (like now) both show Nov 8th.

Probably sessions that people left open and didn't buy.

Nearly ordered one. Last minute I though "Is this phone going to anything my nexus 4 can't?" And the answer was nope for me

So the device is unavailable in Canada. Is this going to be another Nexus 4 debacle, with nowhere near enough stock to meet demand? If so, how long until we get another "email me when there's more in stock" app?

I thought Canada was still in love with blackberry. It makes me wonder if this is some sort of marketing ploy microsoft tried with the surface having lines and being sold out.

Are they already out of stock or there is just none available in my country (Canada)?

Think they're out of stock, I'm in Canada as well and I managed to snag one as soon as they went on sale.

They seem to still have the 32GB black and white in stock actually.

It said it would be shipped before November 4, after 10 minutes it said it would be shipped by November 8, WTF?

I just refreshed the page and now it's back to the 8th for some reason.

5in screen... Man. I'm quite content with my 4.7'' screen. Why are we slowly and steadily moving the sizes of our phone screens up? A year or two ago we were happily at 4.3

The device was available for about 20 minutes before running out. Sounds identical to the Nexus 4 so far...

Was the Canadian populace ever in love with Blackberry?

4.95" 1920x1080 display (445 ppi), it reads. Does those specs make this phone the one with highest DPI ever? It is certainly above retina display, right?

HTC One, 468 ppi
