Did Your N900 Ship Today?

[Bratag]

Still says preorder:

http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-N900-Unlocked-Computer-3-5-Inch/dp/B002OB49SW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1254939479&sr=8-1

http://www.buy.com/prod/nokia-n900-unlocked-maemo-internet-tablet-3g-phone-panoramic-desktop/q/loc/12435/212003401.html

It only says "Buy New" in the search results. Don't get people's hopes up!

I don't think he was getting anything up - he was simply reporting what it said. How you TOOK that information is your own deal.

i see, but I'm still right, it says buy new!

This is what he said:

amazon.com has buy new instead of pre-order, same with buy.com


Why the attitude problem?

[kamakazikev24]

Sorry if I got your hopes up but I went to this page and all it said on it was to buy NOW.....

[bugelrex]

For those who ordered from buy.com, what status if your order?
Mime turned to "sent to warehouse" but I think its because I had to verify some CC info. Is "sent to warehouse" just the usual stage after placing any order?

Amazon charged my card this afternoon for the full $567.48 ( I had an Amazon credit ). No email from them, but they did charge my card in full for the pre-ordered N900.

So is nokia shipping it to all distributors on the 16th/19th or is it just amazon? I purchased mine from mobilecityonline and they still have an expected arrival date of November 5th

Also, gsmarena changed their release date for the N900 from October to November...not sure how reliable their sources are though

Apparently people who ordered their phone off of Buy.com have a new status saying 'Shipping in Process' , I'm gonna go apeshit if Buy.com people get it before me! :mad:

I just ordered today from Amazon. Still waiting for estimated ship date.

This thread is quite possibly the most unintentionally funny thread I've seen at TMO in quite a while.

We will be lucky to see our N900's before the end of the month.

Actually I have now been told by Nokia USA on two separate occasions that Mid Oct is the date and earlier if they can possibly manage it. There was no hedging - it was two separate individuals and two separate days. I would be VERY surprised if we didnt see them before W3 of October.

[Rushmore]

Hey Bratag!

I remember you from the innocent early Android days. Funny how a great premise can be screwed up by poor app memory management and a big bottle neck known as the bite code java layer.

Really does look like Maemo is what Android should have been. Open and more efficient coding platform :)

I ordered mine through Amazon, so I am guessing that alone and free shipping equals "lucky to get by end of month".

[Hogwash]

a big bottle neck known as the bite code java layer.

Why are you misspelling the word "byte"? Is it some kind of joke?

Hey mate. Yeah android dropped the ball for me. It looks like they are going to try solve the issue by simply throwing more hardware at the problem. Not a good solution in my opinion. Add to that the fact that 1.6 broke stuff in my apps and Google cannot figure out WHY and WHAT changed in their own OS. I am very much OVER Android.

On amazon.de there's an amazon seller who claims to have it "in stock". It seems to be a serious shop. So it looks as if shipping has begun.

Add to that the fact that 1.6 broke stuff in my apps and Google cannot figure out WHY and WHAT changed in their own OS. I am very much OVER Android.

Kind of like Windows Vista ;). Compensate through hardware rather than efficient code.

People with current Android phones that do not have DSP in the chipsets will be let down by their current perceptions of Flash 10.1.

I have read enough to figure out that though more efficient, 10.1 is still a resource queen and needs the DSP assist to be smooth in regards to a full Flash experience.

Android overhead (bite' code, etc) will drag 10.1 to its knees.

Enough of that! When are we gettin' them thar' N900s? :D

[Rushmore]

Yep! Have been since Android ;)

I have a degree in computer electronics, but my spelling is not that bad ;)

On a serious note: You non-English folks that write English better than many people that I know truly scares me :eek:

Handy though for communities like this :)

I know a lot of dirty words in other languages. I was in the Marines, so used to people speaking their minds ;)

So the Czech date was again postponed, now to November 9th.

[spinnukur]

So the Czech date was again postponed, now to November 9th.

That's because it isn't a 'Select Region', and probably the regions that are select have been getting a ton of pre-order sales.

[Kehaan]

Hey

So i guess it seems like Denmark, is one of the selected markets? As it seems like its going to be released next week, if the shops have the right date :P

From Kehaan

[Andrei]

My amazon.co.uk status page still shows 26 Oct as the dispatch date. Fingers crossed!

[Syed]

Ordered mine from NokiaUSA sep16, their still saying expected shipping date is mid october, although after 20 calls they finally put me on a list where they said they'd call me as soon as the phones were in and ready to ship..............but im still gonna keep calling.....ofcourse :D

[Jack6428]

There's a video floating around here, I'll find in a bit when I'm on my coffee break and get it for you. It's basically a Nokia rep stating which regions it will be released in.

[SpencerNSO]

@ about 5:34 the Nokia Rep at CTIA mentions North America as a 'select region'

oops and of course check out the 'select markets' thread here

[Jack6428]

Hm, i see...well, on the Czech Nokia site the phone is listed for some time now...so i would assume that is "select market" aswell?

[maxximuscool]

dog faecies.. When the frack will NOKIA release this DEVICE... I've been waiting ever since the day it was announced until now. Though I'm In Asia-Pacific region, but I do expecting this device to be in my hands. I would kiss it and make love to it on the first day I hold it in my hands. :D



COMMON NOKIA... I just saw the NOKIA Showroom 2009 in Thailand on Youtube. It was displaying there, so which meant NOKIA would consider releasing this device in ASIA as well? Please... lol. I want this bad, I got 900 USD to spend on it :D

[shaun132]

The guy I spoke to stated a 2nd November release date for the UK, and they were expecting some demo units in a couple of weeks.

in selected markets could mean anything. they could ship 2 devices to very poor country and nobody buys those. it would still be "in selected markets".

you just put your dreams to the expression and intrerpeted that slogan by your own without any valid facts, only speculation.

Are now starting to be all on the map in regards to availability.

They used to have a shipping date of Oct. 19 for all warehouses, then went to Nov. 2nd for all of them and are now spaced out between October 22 and November 20, depending on warehouse.

I´ve also seen their order quantities more than double, so maybe the ETA date reflects the date when they will next have a deliverable device on hand. So that the one´s that already ordered might have dates earlier than the ones displayed there... Who knows.

Maybe i am wrong. But when they use the words 'select markets' they mean all the places where it is available.

So if you were able to order the device, you are in the "select markets". If you were'nt able to order it in your country, you are not.

I think some dude talked about it not being available in brasil. So i guess brasil is one of the places which is not part of "select markets".

It sound scary i know, but that's all there is to it.

nope. "selected markets" -phrase hasn't been opened. so it is next to nothing for people thinking "am i living in selected markets coverage?"

it is official announcement and companies have strict rules for announcements. if they fail to do that, there will be (big) sanctions.

i have waited just as long as other...i get back when i first get it.

[spinnukur]

Not to be negative, but this is your first post, and the credibility of these types of posts is not all that great.

Like I said in the other thread, a good sign to when we get the phone is when T-Mobile releases Project Black, if indeed they truly have the N900, which means either tomorrow or next Sunday if what all the info is saying turns out to be true. If the N900 is part of the project, and T-Mobile goes public with it, I would assume they would already have the product to sell, and it would definitely hurt them to say 'today is the day we go to #2 or #1 but btw you have to wait another four-five months to get the phone, have a great day' :confused::p

[Bratag]

Between announcement of the G1 and actually shipping was almost 2 months. So I wouldnt find it unusual at all for them to announce the phone and not ship until late Nov. The plans etc may go live before that. I will definitely be taking the $50 all in option if they have it.

[Hogwash]

I really hope they ship this coming week....I'm am literally emotionally tired of all this jerking us around. I want it bad, I want to develop for it, I want the Maemo platform to light up the virtual landscape.

This is what I don't like about the pre-order? Technically you have already paid for it but you still don't have tha thing.
If there was no pre-order thing how wonderful would that be instead of waiting to ship we all wait for the buy now button to pop up, and bam hit that chareg the card and they ship it to you.
But thats only in words I ordered mine from amazon on the 16th still nothing.

I don't believe that anybody has parted with any cash yet, so no...we're not 'owed' anything yet. A pre-order is a pledge to buy the thing.

[mykenyc]

its so many mixed stuff when i talked to the manager in the nokia new york store he said oct 30th this is bananas.

[r0eladn]

october 22nd you hear me i'm telling you october 22nd itll ship.

ill videotape it and put it on youtube as evidence.

You can just ignore the preorder button and wait for the buy now button to pop up. What's the problem?

Not enough...

Tar, Feather, and thrown onto an island with nothing except a huge billboard with a N900 on it.

what i was trying to say was what if there is no pre-order button instead it says coming soon and when they have it in hand and put the buy now.
Man I was high when i wrote that and I still am:p
time to bed for me i guess.:p

[xxMurdakillxx]

Lmao, I feel you man.

[kalle]

well i call today 6 pm to verify my order and the girl told me that phone will start delivering this coming week so i'm happy to say yahoo ... ican't vwait to get my hand on it..
Not to be negative, but this is your first post, and the credibility of these types of posts is not all that great.

Especially given on sunday :)

All official-related dates indicate that delivery is goint to start in weeks 44-45 (it's only two weeks from now!!) I would not expect anything to happen before that. I ordered mine in day one and this was already then the estimated timeframe.

well guess who went to the summit at the westergasfabriek today and got a quick glimpse of an n900? ;)

it is indeed a very pretty tiny real cool gadget :D

[kingofkingz24]

I would like to clear things up for everyone: US phones will be available between oct.19-30 and europe and other countries november 19th thru the 30th. My reasoning is this

from WIki:It was launched at Nokia World on 2 September 2009 and was expected to be released on 27 September 2009 in the United States and on 19 October 2009 in 9 European countries

SO as you can see clearly US markets are getting it first, since most of the nov dec dates are coming from euro sources, i suspect i am right.

[NvyUs]

wiki is never wrong :rolleyes:
them dates you mention was rumoured dates some one as took them as official and put them wiki, i'd take no notice of them if i was you

Europe is also 19th and on, sir. :P the US isn't going to get a GSM phone one full month before all the other european countries. That just doesn't seem right. Regardless, Nokia told me that they're expecting shipping from the 19th of october, at least here in Spain.

Of course it seems right, we bribed the Nokia execs with American women and awesome Taco's! Plus when we get it before you, we'll more than thoroughly enjoy teasing and making you sweat, telling you how epicawesomepwnsauce it is!

[tokuro]

I happen to call Nokia/BrightPoint to make sure my order was good. A guy who i talked to over phone said they plan to ship it next week (week of 10/12).

Since many of "toys" in US start selling on Tuesdays, i am hoping for 10/13. Then again, who knows... :-)

I got 10/12 last time I called as well.

[ewagner]

Is anyone finding it odd that they gave away pre-production n900's at the summit. A blog I visited said they will receive a pre-production unit in a few days. Doesn't that mean they haven't even started manufacturing the ones for the general public? I think it is going to be a while before they are out.

[Laughing Man]

It might just be that they rather use existing n900s rather then grab a few fresh ones off the press (which would affect shipments..granted I can't imagine how much it would effect it)

[zkyevolved]

The hardware is already 100% there, so pre-production probably means already produced and software still "buggy" (not made for mass market yet). In all their videos from the summit you can now see N900 on it, rather than N9XX :)

I do not. It's more than sensible to give the pre-production units (which in other case would be useless) and sell the 300 devices for end customers (I think they need every one of them to fill the need ;)).

I will love you long time, if you're correct about this...free overnight shipping so I'll have it by Wednesday morning!

[ewagner]

That is true since the summit was a planned event and they must of hand to test the manufacturing line on a few hundred phone, why not give them out. I think I am just thinking about it to much. I hope they are through the production and ready to be shipped.
Because i have been told twice now from Nokia USA that no later than two weeks into October.

[GeneralAntilles]

It's probably easier to keep track of pre-production units than retail units when they need to get them back in 6 months. ;)

[andybehr]

I think Nokia missed a big marketing opportunity. Why not look at Apple for things they do well, marketing. A big announcement of a release date or even better the phrase "and all this is shipping starting now".

You may not like Apple, but the do know how to put on a show.

And a little "wow" (to quote another campain) would not be bad.

I just read an article in the leading German computer magazine c't about Nokia (http://www.heise.de/ct/inhalt/2009/22/84/) and how the want to be a service oriented company. So I will repeat what I sad earlier: please Nokia, talk too us. Give us some news. We are the base making Maemo possible, we are all willing to help, but you need to talk to us.

[x61]

Nokia does not give a rat about you and I. They are simply taking their time to avoid HUGE recall down the road. Personally, I'm patiently waiting for them to announce the release date of this N900 device.

[bugelrex]

Take the n97 for example, it took them 6+ months from announcement to release. Did that translate into no large issues on release? nope
- lens scratch defect
- stability issues on the first firmware
- panned by many non-fanboy reviewers

I would not assme longer release time equals increase in quality at Nokia

I think Nokia learnt a pretty short sharp lesson from the n97. I suspect they are doing everything in their power to make sure the n900 is not a repeat of that debacle.

Unfortunately one common problem is knowing where and when you can buy their products. I'm particularly confused that they still do this "In select markets" stuff.

It's been the same story with a number of Nokia devices - it gets announced, you hear rumours of release dates, as you get closer you keep checking the dates on various places and they keep moving about. Even when it gets to "release date" you find you can get it on ebay from Hong Kong but not anywhere else. Eventually some weeks/months after you thought you could get it you can buy it through regular channels.

Nokia only seems to communicate release information to its channel partners with no thought for end consumers.

excuse my bad english, i'm a mexican C developer, i'll been waiting this phone so long that i'm feeling than i need it, i preorder it in amazon and nobody tell me when it arrives, i'm so desperated, can anyone , seriously give me an real shipping date?

Noone knows or we would - the best we know is sometime in October.

Welcome to the forums

[toshinden5]

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and I would like to leave my feedback about this device. I think this device will be here this week, next week, or end of October. I believe this because The nokia n97 mini will be in stores on Oct 23 from this website http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/332751/nokia_n97_mini_gets_official_release_date.html

So that means N900 should come along with it too just like wat Sony did with their Satio Idou.

HOPEFULLY ^_^

[Verythrax]

Is there any chance to have a version with 3G in 850? It will really blows here in Brazil, since it will be limiting the choice of the carriers here.

[sachin007]

excuse my bad english, i'm a mexican C developer, i'll been waiting this phone so long that i'm feeling than i need it, i preorder it in amazon and nobody tell me when it arrives, i'm so desperated, can anyone , seriously give me an real shipping date?

The word on the amazon boards is that

"Just got off the phone with an Amazon customer service representative and I was told Nokia has stated to Amazon the phones will be available last week of Oct."

[sachin007]

I just called amazon:

"The customer service rep said that the item is on pre-order and they do not have the information on when it would be shipped."

I said that i was leaving the country soon and i needed a date so that i can decide whether to cancel this order or to order directly from nokia. So she transferred me to the cell phones department where i talked to another lady and she repeated the same. I again reiterated my problem and said that any information if available would be hugely helpful for me. She said she was very sorry as they did not have any information at all to give me.

So amazon does not know when they will get the n900's from nokia.

[spinnukur]

Welcome dude! Hopefully tomorrow is the release date and we'll start getting our phones Tuesday, but knowing our luck it'll probably be till the end of the month till we get them.

[sachin007]

Why don't each one of us call amazon/nokia/buy.com and ask them and post their response here. That will give some meaning to this thread rather than blank speculation...

[ossipena]

because it's official press release? nokia still is limited liability company. SEC(USA stock market)&, FIVA (OMXH) monitors those. And for every delay one must create new press release. Or company pays millions and spends a lot of time in court. And releasing million press releases year is like kicking investors to nuts every time. (so much noise that there's no point even looking the releases for any important information)

and they cannot give official info outside press releases (court calls again)


so blame SEC & FIVA

Hey everyone, called nokia USA on friday (2 days ago), the rep gave me the same story again, said phones would hit distributors mid october, as for the actual shipment, that depends on when you actually pre-ordered. Hope that helped, lets keep our fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!

[somedude]

are we not already on the 2nd week of October and isn't 2nd week considered to be in the mid of October? And Nokia is still chanting about mid-october release. WTF? I was actually hoping to see some actual date by this time.
I am not patient, as you can tell. ( I was sleeping when god was handing out the patience, hence I missed it.)

We all aren't patient. But i have a feeling it will be real soon Nokia don't want to piss off people who made this device the number 1 pre-order on amazon.com, the only reason why I'm a little more patient because i don't have the money right now lol.:D

LOL. This is going to be an awesome phone, and I believe it'll be worth the wait. Let's see how these initial reviews come out :) Now that people aren't under NDAs, we can get some hands on reviews (apart from the my-symbian & the mobile review (p)reviews.)

I'm also impatient, I do have the money for it, but it's going to hurt my wallet to part with the cash! LOL! So I'm kind of in a limbo sort of place right now. Come on and send the phone! But hold up! I want to really think about if I want to part with such an obscene amount of dough (doe? doh?) LOL.

Why would Nokia Europe care about the SEC? Just tell Europe when the phone will be available.

[Zuhälter]

I just called the German Nokia shop here like 5 mins ago. Why did I call? Because I was informed Sept. 30 when I pre-ordered that on October 13 the N900 would be shipped to their distribution center in the Netherlands. Today I was told it will not be until October 30th. If I'm not mistaken, Italy and Germany were going to be the first markets to receive the N900. I asked to speak to someone higher up than just a call associate and a manager informed me that Oct 30 is a "set in stone" date for shipment to the distribution center, then 3-5 business days for it to reach me here in Berlin. Not holding my breath, but silently praying very hard it is true.

[Spudboy]

I reckon 30th Oct is the earliest any market will see it.

[robbie]

Because I was informed Sept. 30 when I pre-ordered that on October 13 the N900 would be shipped to their distribution center in the Netherlands.

Thats nice for us in the Netherlands. :)

Some shops here have shipping from week 43 on their site. Nokia.nl still says: End of october.

http://shop.nokia.nl/nokia-nl/product.aspx?sku=6958651&culture=nl-NL

[Rushmore]

Makes sense given Nokia did say they were fixing the memory issue before shipping. This means no boxed product was ready. At least it appears the actual box and literature are ready.

First week of November is the earliest I expect mine (Amazon + free shipping = later than normal).

BTW: Nokia has said nothing official about a launch date, so no date to reference if they are late or not. The word "estimate" is the ultimate marketing wiggle room point.

[range]

Makes sense given Nokia did say they were fixing the memory issue before shipping.

Which memory issue?

WTF. Can we get a second on this.

I preordered from Nokia USA. I just called them and was told that they expect to ship their preorders this week and at the latest beginning of next week. The Nokia rep at the CTIA show last week said that people who preordered from Nokia USA will be the first to get the N900 and the ones who ordered from other distributors will get them at a later date. I guess there is a reason for paying the premium price from ordering directly from Nokia USA.

[kopte3]

Another one:
that what they answere me... order place in sep 19 and oct 9.....

Hello,

I've checked for both the items "Nokia N900 Mobile Computer Unlocked Cell Phone--U.S. Version with Full Warranty" and "Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touch Screen" are not yet resealed and the expected release date is not known.

[Hogwash]

Urge to kill....rising.....rising....

[sharper]

Unless the guy tells you he has it in his hands right now and he's carefully writing your address on the label what they tell you on the phone or in email doesn't mean a lot. They're just telling you what's on their inventory system as the due date and that could come from anywhere.

[mykenyc]

If this is a amazon only thing i think im going the nokia route lol

what about buy.com

[chrisp7]

The expected release was always late October wasnt it?? A few weeks late really isnt too bad..

[gskimmel]

That's why I always take the Nokia route, even if it is more expensive. Nokia has always shipped their pre-orders before other distributors starting shipping their orders. I also like getting an extra year of warranty from Nokia USA -- especially when I am paying so much for a mobile device.

[Bratag]

Just called Nokia. Rather than the immediate response I have been getting recently of Mid Oct. I got "I dont have that information"

Its seriously time for Nokia to stop dicking around and give us a solid release date on this thing.

[Hogwash]

Poop or get off the potty

[mobiledivide]

Lol this thread is hilarious. There was no shipping date ever mentioned by Nokia apart from the month of October, the gnashing of teeth is great. I remember feeling that way about the wii when it came out then the disappointment when it was just another game system made me realize lusting after gadgets is probably the most ridiculous thing one could do with one's time :p

[Zelig87]

Those Amazon answers look like a standard Amazon response to a delivery date query for a pre-order.

I think you will find the date given is always TWO MONTHS after the date the pre-order was placed.

I got a similar response.

Anyone who has an Amazon pre-order - try emailing them and see if you get a date that is 2 months after the date you placed your pre-order.

You are right no date was mentioned except October (mid October on several occasions). Well here we are in Mid October and we haven't had a status update on this since the n900 first saw the light of day.

I am not asking for much when I ask for at least SOME idea of when my 700 dollar investment is likely to ship. Even if that turns out to be Nov etc - it would be friggin nice to have an idea so that I can plan business trip etc accordingly

[njoughin]

yup, the amazon 60 day rule, whereby if they haven't delivered your item within 60days of your order date, they will email you to better inform you/ offer you similar

all basically reading something into nothing

[Hogwash]

I'm gonna shoot deer until I get my N900. I'll mail their fluffy white tails to Nokia HQ in Finland.

Save Bambi - ship my fscking device!



j/k ;)

[ossipena]

Why would Nokia Europe care about the SEC? Just tell Europe when the phone will be available.

how would that change the situation? not at all. if they officially inform that n900 comes to shops at 20.10.2009 in germany and finland and that doesn't happend and there is no official correction, FIVA would sue.


nothing spesific for a release date = a little slack for last minute delays (i haven't seen a project in my short working life that didn't have those!)

so in nutshell.

if nokia had knew 25.8.2009 that N900 would be ready for shipping exactly 10.10.2009, they would have announced it.

its bit like asking lottery numbers when asking what day exactly your copy of n900 is shipped. nothing is as certain as uncertainty.
e: off course closer the release date gets, more probably they can quess the dates better.

[JayOnThaBeat]

[Nexus7]

If Project Dark is indeed going to be released 10/25 and if it includes an N900 release (that's 2 rumors), then wouldn't T-Mo and Nokia not want devices getting through other channels before that date? This is just pure speculation, of course.

Yes you will... N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900 N900

[spinnukur]

I'm gonna shoot deer until I get my N900. I'll mail their fluffy white tails to Nokia HQ in Finland.

Save Bambi - ship my fscking device!



j/k ;)


Pull a 'Godfather' and send them the heads on a silver plater or stalk Peter down and stick the head in his bed so he wakes up with a deer staring directly at him with a yellow sticky on it's forehead saying 'Give us the N900'

[hypnotik]

The hold on my amex (placed through Nokia/BrightpointNA) was released today again... Every time they release-and-rehold amex flags as suspicious and I have to manually approve the hold again.

Nokia order status still says "In Progress"

Which memory issue?

Well I ordered mine on September 29th and paid for the overnight shipping method. I then emailed Amazon last night and they emailed back saying that they do have the N900 on hand but can't ship any of them since it hasn't been officially announced or released yet. Well I wanted to know more info such as when I should expect my device to be shipped so I called them this morning.

She looked in the system and said she doesn't even show an expected date of shipment under my order number. According to some people here, some of you guys are getting your phones sometimes in December? If so, when did you place your order? I'm guessing since I placed my pre-order sooooo late and the fact there isn't even a date of expected shipping on my order number...what does this mean? That I will get it like end of December or January even???? Now I'm really starting to get confused and upset.

I mean I understand if I'm not going to be a part of the 1st or 2nd batch of shipments but when your shipping is delayed due to first come first serve, you expect a delay of about like 2-3 weeks MAX! Not 2-3 Months!!!

I'm contemplating whether I should cancel my order and put my order through with someone else and now that I hear T-Mobile is coming out with the N900 (Project Dark Rumors almost 100% confirmed but still not sure when the N900 will release with T-Mobile) I'm thinking of just getting it with T-Mobile. Gee I dunno what to do anymore???

Instead of waiting, i decided to already check out which SNES games to install.

heres a top 100 list i am working through.

[ysss]

Ok, I'm waiting for someone to write something up that draw parallels of Amazon exercising such control to DRM content distribution model and that we should be setting up a class action lawsuit against them next.

Go for it..

[juxxxer]

jolo stated in apps feedback thread that "Please note now 300 devices were given out at the Maemo Summit, so there are people with the device now."

So somewhere on the globe Nokia is having production line up&running. Those 300 are not made by hand. Now it's a matter of copying that production line over the factory / factories. But that one line at least is producing.

[Bratag]

@jaaksi tells: 300 N900 pre-production models for Maemo Summit 2009 participants for 6 months to play around. #maesum

After 6 months the devices will be returned, to be replaced by .... 300 N900 pre-production models as the N900 release date drifts into Duke Nukem Forever territory

:)

[ysss]

I'm guessing the 300 will be replaced either with production units...

....OR.... N920 pre production units.

Okay, been doing investigation. AMAZON HAS OUR N900 devices!!!!!.
Apparantely there are 2 fullfillment centers here in PHX AZ, a coworkers nephew(yes i already know how that sounds/but its true) started working there last week and says the devices were delivered there, and are on their manifest. They said they have been processed to people who preorderd it but SINCE there is NO street date from nokia recieved , they are holding on to them till otherwise. (apparently to prevent fines). This is real talk. i have been investigation all morning, i will drive by the wharehouse this evening on my way home and try to catch an employee there to verify again.

Does anyone else have a dramatic spy tv-show music going off in their head when they read this? :cool: I´ll just wait until I get my device, there´s so many dates and things flying around.

What do you expect... we were suppose to get this thing at the end of September, now we find out Amazon has the phones, but for some odd reason, yet unexplained, Nokia doesn't want to announce a release date...I say kidnap the higher echelon of Nokia's executive board and make them watch the same Barney episode over, and over, and over again...

[Thesandlord]

I am glad that I did not pre-order. I get my laptop for college in November (3 months late because of Windows 7...), and that should hold me over until the N1000 shows up. Or at least until the N900 is 300 dollars.

There you go guys now on december, why has this wait to be so long. I was excited that we are in the mid-october and now amazon says by december 1st.

[liveslow]

"If you haven't received a shipment confirmation by Dec 1, 2009, please contact us again"

That just seems like a "i'll give you a date two months away so you'll stop bothering us" type reply.

I hope you're not serious. Are you familiar with the term trespassing?

Well actually... come to think of it. Think of all the bad press Amazon and Nokia would get if your arrest got on the news. People may cancel their pre-orders, and that would mean I'd get mine quicker.

YES! Go to Amazon tonight cause a ruckus! Refuse leave without verifying a shipping date!

strange that nokia gave out 300 trial n900's on the 9th and he happens to put one up for sale around same time, it might just be a con though b/c why is he willing to except such low offers when i'm sure he could make more than retail price on other sites as its not out yet
look at all is other items he as for sale non have is own pictures they all media shots and his account is only four days old, i bet ppl will get shipped chinese fakes

[flux41]

Welcome to the forum!

(although not the best thread to start off in....)

Thanks! I've been reading the forum for the past year and half (I have a n800). However, I figured it was about time since I pre-ordered a n900.

[JayOnThaBeat]

It makes perfect sense for someone to be selling them for ~50%-75% of the retail price.

Why make money, when you can lose money?

Ok, with so many people calling Nokia and chatting with them, dont they realize how badly we want this phone and how they need to stop jerking us around and release it already?

They're jerking so many people around it's gonna be a bukkake nightmare

[kingofkingz24]

Im gonna send this thread over to nokia so they realize how serious we are they ship our phones ASAP.

[somedude]

you don't want this (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=344729#post344729) happening to you do you?neither do i. maybe this is why they are taking some time to iron things out?

[Hogwash]

No I don't. But I want my toy. And a unicorn.

[gskimmel]

I was just on online chat with Nokia USA sales rep and he confirmed late October.

They're jerking us around. Out of curiosity, I chatted with a few reps online and on the phone today and each rep said a different thing. (from shipping this week, shipping next week, shipping end of October, shipping sometime this month)

This reminds me when the N97 came out...on the morning of they were still quoting end of June but that afternoon they started shipping (this was first week of June).

If I wasn't so impressed with the phone I think I would cancel my order, get the My Touch 3G (I want to get rid of my iPhone so bad), and wait for the N900 to go down in price before buying it.

[Hogwash]

I've said it before - this is a very poor display of "managing client expectations" from Nokia. Very poor. Shamefully so.

Haha actually the warehouses are in VA (Amazon) and PA (Newegg). None in Maryland =P. It's just because we're so all close that it ships so quickly even with free shipping.

Now I know why my free delivery arrives so fast too.
