Yes, I don't see them having enough supply to meet immediate demand, so they're staggering the release... U.K., then Canada, then U.S. There's no need to send out emails to people who can't buy because supply is eaten up by more anxious buyers. If you're eagerly waiting, you're already looking for more immediate news on CrackBerry, Twitter, etc. and not waiting on an email.
