So, I was talking with some friends about the US launch of the Q10, the awful canadian launch and the UK demand.
Somebody suggested that BlackBerry is already kind-of out-of-stock. They launched in the UK with huge demand so they sent more phones. The UK kept on buying according to channel checks and the Toronto/Canada launch came. Before the canadian launch launch, we found out that BlackBerry downsized the production of Z10 so they could make more Q10s.
Now, the canadian launch came and at fist there were a few stores that had a very limited number of units. And now the US launch has been delayed.
Is it possible/probable that BlackBerry ran out of Q10s and underestimated the demand? Or are we missing something?

BEWARE: this is *not at all confirmed*, it's just a hypothesis.
