I've been saying this but getting eviscerated by the apologists...the launch is a disaster and whoever predicted the demand at Nokia needs to be fired.
True dat.Reports are saying that Apple is finally catching up to orders placed weeks ago. So if this is a disaster for Nokia, I guess all those previous 5 or so launches of Iphones were train-wrecks too....
You need some more action verbs in this post. Borrow some of these if you like.

Horrible colossal epic disaster of biblical proportions!!!
Oh wait, that's right, I just walked into the store on launch day and bought one and walked out.
Never mind.
From WMPoweruser:
Clove UK team tweeted the following about the sales of Lumia 920,
"To say Lumia 920 stock has been selling like hotcakes this afternoon would be just a bit of an understatement #flyingoffthevirtualshelves"

Carriers determine what expected demand will be.
It seems like that point has been really really hard for people to understand.
if you make excuses for Nokia (like you are) then yeah if the shoe fits..people here are complaining about sim free phones not being available...thats not a carrier issue. If you have the cash Nokia should be able to supply you a phone.The carriers predict demand in their own markets and then place an order with Nokia.And that "apologist" word comes out? Really? LoL. Oh no! The "apologists" are disagreeing with me!! It's a global conspiracy from the 1%!

The launch is only a disaster if you didn't get what you wanted when you wanted it.
This was no different than any other product launch for a very popular item. There are shortages.
The reason people freaked out is that the product was announced way in advance of the launch and a specific date wasn't given until the 11th hour. That built up a lot of demand and pissed people off who just wanted to know when it was coming out.
A disaster? Hardly. They are selling a ton of phones. Most of them work just fine and their owner are happy. An internet forum where people come to complain is hardly an accurate gauge of how successful the product and it's launch was.

What part about no AT&T store within 20 miles of me had any idea when they were getting them, what color, and how many do you not understand? That particular carrier didn't have a clue on what they were going to get. I even called AT&T support and they had no clue either. If there's reported shortages on all carriers worldwide, that points to Nokia being the problem, especially since people are reporting quality issues as well.
