Haha, that's ok. I hate your highways in VA =P. Especially 66.

Yeah, 66 sucks, but only coz it heads your way ;)

Just out of sheer curiosity, can you guys post your age.. ;)

Haha, even on the way into Virginia it's horrible. Don't know where in VA you are but if your interested in Vietnamese food you should go to Eden Center there. It's about the only time I'm in VA when I'm not travelling through the entire state to get to NC.

I've no doubt about that. But I was hoping that the n900 would ship before it did!

I would send you some but unfortunately I don't have a camera. I was waiting for my n900 :(

...Well, something else for you to look forward to! :D

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

and it shud have a title "how far wud u go to get what u want" (in scary voice/image)

What do you expect... we were suppose to get this thing at the end of September

Who told you so? Earliest date I've heard about was that Nokia was trying(!) to get them out on October 12th in the german Nokia store (which long has been pushed to October 30th).

Through which official venue was the "late September" date published?

People, I don't want to get your hopes high but my amazon order says...

Shipment #1: Not Yet Shipped

It's no longer "Pre Ordered" or whatever it used to say

Are u sure it was not the same before?

[bleomycin]

Early suggestions tipped a late-October release, though Nokia UK are currently suggesting the N900 won’t arrive until November 2009.
http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-n900-video-unboxing-1259904/

Not sure if this has been posted already. Either way it makes me :(

[rewt]

Based on the e-mail I just received back from Nokia regarding the ship date for my order, it looks like they're sticking to a mid-October release.

99% sure. There was something different in the status and when I checked a few minutes ago - it just looked different.

[spinnukur]

99% sure. There was something different in the status and when I checked a few minutes ago - it just looked different.

It has always said 'Item Not Shipped Yet' since day one of ordering... no you're just being plain mean by teasing...

[sachin007]

I checked my account and it says the same thing.... but i felt that it was like that previously also...

[spinnukur]

So really when you sit back and look at everything it sounds like the phones are all ready to go, Amazon ( hopefully ) already has them and assigned each to it's pre-order's but really Nokia isn't releasing them because the updates you can get directly from the phone are all ****ed up?

I'm going by what the guy in the other thread said about updating the N900 he has in his possession along with the guy in AZ who said the thing about the Amazon warehouse.

[Laughing Man]

Haha, well it's not like Amazon would be opening the box and updating things on each phone.

Though servers are going be slammed the first few days then if out of the gate all the devices need updates.

[spinnukur]

Yeah exactly my point, Amazon is not going to send back the hundreds, possibly thousands of phones they have... so basically our ebil demon plans of torturing Nokia execs should be enacted... after all if Nokia would hurry up we'd have them already. Hogwash grab your pitchfork we're going on an overseas road trip--who else wants to come?

UPDATE: Just found out reason for delay. Nokia needs to update the phone when you first connect to service or online: The firmware/software update is not ready yet. Out of the box, you might as well be using pre production devices till the update. Most distributers do have the phone in hand and are at their wharehouses. Someone who has buy.com preorder please email them and see what they say.

Quite honestly I'd rather have the phone now and have Nokia disable any updating on their end till they get this figured out,and just deal with whatever problems there are on the phone...I just want it, and will gladly look aside whatever fw problems there are.

It does sound feasible with all the weird and random status updates from Amazon and buy.com in the last few days. Unfortunately, software an QA are not exactly Nokia's strong points. Just look at the mess the e71 firmware update for USA users has gone through

[boinger]

yea I think people that are truely interested in the n900 will be able to handle an update later via the net. They should ship the phones imo

Due to a setback from the supplier, item is currently on
backorder.

thats from a quick email to them

Who should I pre-order from :S I'm getting it shipped to Niagara NY. I'm thinking buy.com or Amazon.com any better choices?

[Bratag]

Those are the cheapest. Personally I am sticking with my Nokia pre order. they have been the most consistent in their estimate. In an inconsistent kind of way :)

As much as I want it first, I'll stick with Amazon--I'd rather save $70 and have to wait an additional two or three weeks than get it, as much as I'll go crazy waiting, no point in wasting money just because I want to be the first one...

Watch Amazon people will get it first before the Nokia people... than I'll just LOL!

If you would like to get it shipped to your house in Canada, you should try Sparco.com...

[joshua.maverick]

won't i have to pay additional brokerage and such?

[Phlook]

No Joshua. The price listed should be the price... it wont be anything like amazon but just the fact of getting it across the border is good enough and its under the retail price too so that shouldnt matter.

[p047]

If you would like to get it shipped to your house in Canada, you should try Sparco.com...

I'm from Canada and i'm getting mine from http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=25125 with express shipping. Cost just as much in the end as Sparco.com with it's 30~ dollar shipping charge. I'm not sure if that's express though.

Ordered from them too, I took the 25$ shipping and I'm still waiting for an answer to my question about which company they use to ship... any idea?

Hopefully i can get them to ship via USPS!

Well it says priority mail so i'm guessing it'll be from usps since they use the term priority mail. I too hope they ship via usps. I don't feel like travelling to the distribution centres if they miss my deliveries.

No it wont be express :( but it's ok... as long as i get my new gateway to freedom, i'm ok with it. I just chosse this company cuz i get all the stuff i can't get from them and they never miss... And the customer service is just great, finally humans with courtesy on the other end of the line!:)

thats funny jay.

on 10/1/09 nokia put a hold on my credit card for my pre-order that i placed about 4 days after it went up for sale.


they didnt ship, and put another hold on my card 10 days later.

now that the summit is over, hopefully it will ship this week!

I hope that means they will ship on the 30th.

Their site still says

So hopefully It will ship that day too...

This is from Amazon Customer Discussions:
Hello,

I JUST called NokiaUSA website number - 1-866-59NOKIA
Representative picked up the phone. I will basically write EXACTLY what both of us said.
I can try and call more times if wished, and check up, but this is what I got:

Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on one of your phones.
Rep: Okay, and what phone would that be?
Me: The N900. I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: The phone should come out on a day this week.
Me: Are you sure it's this week?
Rep: Yes. They should be released this week.
Me: When would they be shipped?
Rep: We do not have an exact shipping date for this phone. But if you pre-ordered it, you should recieve it within the relased date of this week. We do it on a first come first serve basis.
Me: Okay. What if I pre-order the N900 tonight, will it be shipped out with 1st or 2nd batch?
Rep: You should have it when it comes out this week.
Me: Okay.
Rep: Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia, have a great day!

Basically, HE told me it would release THIS week. Now, I am skeptical of that, all though I hope he is telling the truth.
Right now I will call again, hopefully a new representative and try to find out other...

Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on the N900.
Rep: Yes sir.
Me: I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: It should be out this week.
Me: This week? Are you sure?
Rep: Yes. The information we have says that it will be released this week.
Me. Is there maybe like a specific date or anything?
Rep: No sir. Only information we have say that it will be out this week.
Me: Is there a guarentee?
Rep: No sir. We only know that it should be coming out this week.
Me. Okay. Okay well if I order it tonight, will I recieve it when it comes out? Or do I have to wait longer?
Rep: You will recieve it as soon as it comes out sir.
Me: Okay. Okay, and is there any case for this phone?
Rep: No. We do not have any cases for this model yet.
Me: Okay, thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia.

Basically, I JUST got the same responce, both representatives said the N900 would be out this week. No SPECIFIC date, but the information THEY were given said that it will come out this week, and if you order it/pre-order it now, you will still get it as soon as it comes out.

Now I am not telling you people that its THIS week, but I am throwing in my help to try and figure out WHEN it will be coming out.
Hope this helped in some way, and hopefully it is this week.
Anyone to call them and confirm?

[ysss]

I think Amazon was supposed to ship the N900 this week, ahead of Nokia's pushed-back release date and due to the information posted on this board, Nokia distribution will be aware of the mess-up and correct Amazon to the proper November release date :D

[sharper]

Guys I don't know why you're all contacting various support reps to find out when it's going to be released. They don't know anything more than anyone else and you're just going to get annoyed if they say a date and then that date passes.

I would suspect at this point even the N900 dev team couldn't give you a cast iron date. I think it's pretty likely they're working through some critical bugs and the hardware won't be released until there's a known good build of software to put on it. The last thing Nokia will want is a negative impression of Maemo since this is their first attempt to put it into the phone/smartphone space.

Just assume you won't see the device until November sometime and that way you'll only be pleasantly surprised if it shows up earlier.

TOY?

did you see the linux ***** on that thing i dont even want to think about it all i dont know what ive done its a hardcore h4x0r-pr0-gr4mm4r device.. wish i bought the ibomb... ;(

serious. it's like a girl. i need one because something inside me says so. but i don't know how it works, its too damn complicated and its only going to frustrate me. and once you know how it works, you have to get deeper into it to understand it better. and the deeper you get into it the more time you spend on it, which will make you in the end very very unhappy and the fun of just playing with it wont be there anymore. You spend so much time on trying to figure it out and then something works and you can play with it, then you are SO damn happy it finally works and you play way too long. then you dont have time for your friends anymore and you become lonely just with n900 and you know it all well and stuff and its fun. but the reason you actually got one is fulfilled and its not fun damnit.

im gonna call nokia NL. will update later.

[Ghule]

I called NokiaUsa this morning also.. They said that their information shows 2nd week of Oct to ship. Then the guy said that it would mean sometime this week. He then ask me for contact information... and I told him I had already pre-ordered and just wanted to know a release date.

At least they are saying this week... but since they are saying their information shows... i guess their information could change.. but I hope not.

I really must say, this is by far the most entertaining thread on here! We are all anxiously awaiting our devices, but this is turning into a fun comedy/investigator/speculation topic!

My addition to that is, that we should all pitch in for a private investigator to go spy in finland at nokia's factory!

Let's hope the 2nd week of October is correct, but in reality.... no way it can be, they should have shipped allready for that.

I'm betting on getting at the beginning of november. That way I hope I don't get disapointed.

But by all means, continue continue! :cool: :p

Unless there's a specific date, that doesn't mean much.

Also, welcome to the forum!

[ciaomatteo]

I think people get all too confused about or make up how it should have been shipped by now to reach the mid-October rumored or speculated release date.

The whole idea that, "It should be in my hands--for those that pre-ordered--by the first of the second week in October," sounds a bit unreasonable. It would be a nice thought except... If they really wanted to do it that way Amazon, if you pre-ordered it from there, wouldn't have offered options for shipping.

This is similar to the confusion about how it should have been shipped by the time distributors got it on September 27th when in actuality that's when distributors receive it which does not mean that it will be shipped to customers the day after or on that day.

This "mid-October" week isn't even over yet and I think the biggest confusion is misconstruing the word release. Because to them it could just mean that's when they ACTUALLY ship it. So they might ship it the end of the 2nd week or maybe the actual mid-October 15-16 and you might not even get it until the 3rd week because you decided to opt for free shipping (lol)..

[DaKing]

thanks jay so i guess u mean by that that i should cancel my amazon pre-order and change it to nokia store ? or it will be the same on amazon same date as nokia store :) thanks alot i know am asking too much :$ :$

[mykenyc]

well at-least for now we got valid month from NOKIA itself as long as i didn't see dec im cool i just want this phone before the Motorola Cliq come out because everyone in my store love it , everyone but me getting it and i want the best phone(love to stand out).:D

The point is, nobody knows, and this whole thread is speculation.

The Nokia site says "end of october", but I'm sure somewhere in the site's small print, it says "dates are subject to change" or "dates are only estimates".

[DaKing]

i see and were did u order it from ? nokia store or amazon ( in previous mobiles like the N97 was the phone released at the same day in amazon and nokia store ? )

[ciaomatteo]

i see and were did u order it from ? nokia store or amazon ( in previous mobiles like the N97 was the phone released at the same day in amazon and nokia store ? )

You can Google for that topic. Nokia has had a history of not shipping before other distributors. Buying from Nokia is like playing Russian Roulette. There have been N97 pre-order debacles.

Although I don't care when I get it as long as it's within a price range that I'm pretty happy with from a reliable and reputable distributor.

[JayOnThaBeat]

i see and were did u order it from ? nokia store or amazon ( in previous mobiles like the N97 was the phone released at the same day in amazon and nokia store ? )

I didn't order one, it's out of my price range right now.

Plus, I am still very enamored with my N810.

[Ghule]

Hmm.. I made note of two new thing about the Nokia preorder now.


When I Order mine I got a free blue tooth headset... which is no longer added when you add phone to cart.

And I choosed overnite shipping... but now they only have the express and standard shipping.

The Nokia site says "end of october", but I'm sure somewhere in the site's small print, it says "dates are subject to change" or "dates are only estimates".

Or it will be changed. Because when I preordered my device, the nokia shop in Germany said 12th of october, now it says (well for two weeks now) 30th of october.

As has been said in this thread before and before and before and before and before and before.

Does nobody read this monster before hitting reply? :rolleyes:

That's what I've been thinking and saying. That's why I make sure to thank useful posts. Too bad they don't get a nice effect like some bolder outlines or something to make them stand out depending on how much they were thanked.

[RevdKathy]

I like this thread. I've understood every single post! Most of them were useless, of course, but I understood them. :)

Amazon UK tells me they plan to ship it on Oct 26th, I should have it on the 27th. They also tell me that dates are subject to change. If it arrives by the 30th, I shall be a happy bunny. If not, I shall probably sulk a little. But I'd rather have it when it's ready than risk it having to go into scbu cos it's prem.

Seriously, it's like being pregnant!

[Hogwash]

That's one flaw with this format of forum.

We've got nearly 60 pages of blabber - I'm not wading through that. I want to read the initial post to find out what the deal is....I may read through the first couple pages at most, and if I don't read anything interesting (and if I think I have something to say) I'll hit reply.

Far better are those forums that have a mechanism for promoting the most useful replies to the top (eg. stackoverflow.com).

I've read the last 10 pages, so I just wanted to tell you: My preorder was on August 29th, so, I don't know when your preorder was, but i am waiting for 1 1/2 months now. That's challenging.

But I believe, in Germany it will be released during the next two weeks.

Being that i ordered from Sparco.com, they have a list of all their warehouses and the ETA for each on the N900.

Being that i pre-ordered mine 09-11-09, when i pre-ordered it, here is the history of there ETAs for all warehouses:
- on 09-11-09 it said ETA would be Sept 25th
- on 09-15-09 it said ETA would be Oct 22nd
- on 09-22-09 it said ETA would be Nov 2nd

And now since 10-09-09 it says different dates for each warehouses, some Oct 22nd and some in mid Nov as you can see here (http://www.sparco.com/cgi-bin/wfind2?spn=A1AC383). So i think them getting more precise with there ETAs means that it should have a limited supply for Oct for pre-orders and probably will receive a next batch for November.

They also show that in PA and TX are the ones receiving it Oct 22nd which makes sense because they are the ports of entry for containers. So i think the ETAs should be accurate with them.

And if thats the case, i hope i get mine on the first batch.

Hope nokia netherlands will ship soon too!! So exciting! :D

[Mengs]

Hai guys...

I'm sure everyone is waiting eagerly and I've been following this and other threads for a while and I'd like to input my 2c...

I HOPE that they are going to be shipping the devices soon, and I know many of you would much rather have the device now to just play around than wait any longer... But looking at this from a neutral perspective, I doubt that is going to happen.

If you follow closely on all the youtube uploads up to now, many of the videos actually show a lot of flaws still in the n900. I can't remember specifically what, but there seem to be a number of bugs. Now, unless these are already fixed, they still have some way to go till the release (because they probably have to plug the bugs and stuff that don't work, and re evaluate from there)..

On the other hand, I just received a letter from my operator that I bought the phone from, telling me that it's ready to be picked up in coming days.. Don't know what coming days mean, nor do I know if this was sent to everyone that ordered a n900, the letter was not dated =/

Also, I have spoken to some Nokia reps and I know for a fact that Finland is going to be one of the first countries that are getting the n900 (I don't know what "one of the first" means in detail). Also, I have been told by Nokia that phones are shipped out in the order that they were made.

Also, it seems a bit weird for Nokia to give out 300x N900's to developers and then the next week start shipping the phones; it hardly gives the developers time to test out their software and have a large enough repository to pull in some of the non-techsavvy audience. Remember that we are the geeks that follow what's going on with N900 every single day, of course you wouldn't mind having this phone now. But think about the marketing power that this phone could have, if/when they advertise it to have hundreds of programs ready.

My guess would be; the last week of the month earliest... Let the waiting begin =(

Meanwhile; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHSZfhY25Jc Quake III Arena on Nokia N900 for those who haven't seen it yet...

Edit: omg, there are claims that people are being billed... could my tl;dr rant just bite me back =)

Can any one confirm this?

nobody have the Official latest one the 300 that was sent out was pre-production models and everyone still love the phone. Grant it, the phone will have simple bugs but i doubt to the extent of your phone blowing up.

Zane,

Amazon already has all the N900's on hand in their Phoenix warehouses. They can't ship until the release date which hasn't been set yet but we are all expecting to be like sometime in the next 7-10 days. A "Nokia" rep will tell you that so you place your order with them instead of anyone else.

just got off the phone with buy.com and 1 csr said that the authorization/verification has completed successfully and that my item should be shipping out soon and then she transfered me to another csr who said that they did not have a release date for the order from the manufacturer. they are going to contact the manufacturer and contact me back within the next 24 hrs. with a ship date.

It has always said 'Item Not Shipped Yet' since day one of ordering... no you're just being plain mean by teasing...

I think it used to day Pre-ordered or something to that extent. I'm not tryint to tease. Trust me.. I'm sitting on pins here checking the web every hour hoping that some miracle will happen and I will get it sooner than later but at the same time I'm not getting excited. I hate when someone posts "my CC was charged" comments. I personally think this thread should be deleted as it's pointless. I am pretty sure though that the status was updated from "Pre order".

[Rushmore]

I do not believe Amazon, Buy.com etc, has N900's sitting in a warehouse. That would mean they shipped to Amazon or anyone else in the US one to two weeks ago.

Nokia has said the device is still being worked on. Unless Amazon has "beta" phones, I doubt Amazon is sitting on units in Phoenix.

They can keep that phone :)

Here is my chat with a Nokia sales guy

Chat InformationThank you for choosing NokiaUSA. A sales representative will be with you shortly.

Chat InformationYou are now chatting with Paul.

You: Hi

Paul: Hello, welcome to Nokia. I am a Nokia Sales Representative, may I assist you finding a device today?

You: Do you know when the N900 will be available?

Paul: I would be happy to assist you with that. May I ask who I am chatting with today?

You: My name is Bruce

Paul: Hi Bruce the n900 will ship in the last week on October

Paul: Are you looking to order one?

You: I have a preorder, but at that time I was told it would be the last week of September

You: I am starting to wonder about the phone

You: I hope it lives up to the hype

Paul: Nokia pushed the date to end October

You: Is there a specific date or just the last week?

Paul: Last week is what it says on the web site

You: I have not seen that website

You: is it available to the public or an internal website?

Paul: Click here to view it

You: I also have a concern about the price

You: Buy.com is selling for $559.99

You: with $4.99 shipping

You: through Nokia I am playing $722.52

You: that is quite a difference

Paul: It is

You: Is there any reason I should buy through Nokia?

Paul: It is up to you where ever you wish to buy it from, but if anything goes wrong with the phone you will have to take it to BUY.com and that will really take a long time

You: Do buy.com phones not have a Nokia warranty?

Paul: I don't know

Paul: Is there anything else?

You: Does Nokia have any advice on using or not using a screen protector

You: My E90 scratches very easily without a screen protector

Paul: The phone comes with a hardened glass front which does not get scartches unless to take a drilling machine on it

You: Thank you, that is all of my questions

I guess that Michael Jerz from Symbian (http://my-symbian.com/other/preview_n900.php) had drilling machines of a finger to get scratches so easily on his N900.

The sad thing is, someone stupid person once they get a scratch on their N900 just doing daily stuff will sue Nokia based on the fact that 'it will take a drilling machine to scratch the N900' statement from the rep. It doesn't matter if it's a janitor working for Nokia, the fact is ( at least here in the US ) if it's a person working for Nokia and they give a statement on a particular product, and that statement turns out to be false, some schmuck will probably sue Nokia. Not to mention the rep made that statement directly through Nokia, which makes it even more litigious if proved false.


Sometimes when you think about our legal system here, you truly wonder how ****ed up we can become.

[unkno]

Hardened glass? Will that really matter since the N900 has a resistive screen so there will have to be the resistive layer coated on top of the glass screen. As far as I know, a scratch-resistant layer is then placed to cover the whole screen. This means that it depends on how good that scratch-resistant layer is and not the glass itself.

[ysss]

I'm still gonna put a screen protector on mine because I'll be pocketing that device all day in my pants and there's a drilling machine of some sort in my crotch..

Depending on how efficient customs and the retail channel you are using (and shipping method), everyone could get the device during the first week of November.

Test units were just sent out this weekend and Nokia is still working on the firmware. I would rather get a fairly stable and ready device for $620 rather than a buggy test unit. I can wait.

I guess my G1 still has a few more weeks of love.

[Dexter1759]

The wait is killing me know, pre-ordered mine a while ago now from MPD.co.uk. They reckon it'll start arriving on doorsteps from Sat 31st Oct. More than likely I'll get mine the first week of November! ARG!

[Rotkaeqpchen]

@Dexter1759, a while means for me 1 1/2 Month for me by today.

[gskimmel]

I just canceled my pre-order from Nokia USA and decided to pre-order from buy.com (I save $160 by doing this). Has anyone had any problems with buying things from buy.com? This is my first time ordering from them.

[les_garten]

When the N900 is finally released I'm going to miss this thread. I think there should be a reunion in 20 years time.

You're right, we need to do that! Let's all meet back here this time next year for the N920 whine-fest!

[Mengs]

Lol... what's up with "spy satellite" being a tag in this thread? =D

I've been buying from them for years, no issues. Usually pretty fast at doing things.

that'll be nice, esp with android or winmo7(yay for xdadevs)


almost tempted to cancel and wait :p

i know you had to use up the overstock of n97 screens, but a slightly(3.7/8) bigger screen would have been cool i suppose :(

[RevdKathy]

Amazon UK have today put the date back from the 26th Oct to 2nd Nov. I am Not Pleased.

Well, bigger screen means less battery life, bigger device, so everything is a balancing act.

The HD2 does not have a keyboard. If you are a gamer or heavy typer, VK's kind of suck.

i won't cancel though, i need the hardware keyboard, and more importantly i need a good device now

i'll just buy the hd2 for my mom, it's probably more user friendly

[kopte3]

Look at the tags! "zebra rape" :D :D :D
I think somebody should email Nokia a link to this thread. After seeing how sick people became coz of waiting and not knowing the actual release date, they'll release it in a couple of hours. :D

"anal warts" & "zebra rape" - guilty as charged

I'm going to sue Nokia for the decline in my mental health

Just to post it up here...

Amazon.co.uk now says released 2nd November

OMG I GOT AN EMAIL FROM AMAZON!!!! POSTING HERE BEFORE I EVEN READ IT!!!!

Hello,

Looking into your order, I see that " Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touch Screen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty " has not yet been released. I'm sorry about this delay-we certainly didn't expect that this would happen.

We normally obtain this item from a supplier who can usually send it to us within 2 to 3 weeks from the time your order is placed; however, in this case, the supplier has taken longer than expected to respond to us.

We sent an e-mail notification as soon as we learned from our supplier that the status of this item had changed. Unfortunately, our reliance on suppliers and manufacturers for information about their stock means that, occasionally, our database will not reflect all changes.

However, I see that the current estimated ship and delivery date for your order is:

Estimated Ship Date: Dec 7, 2009
Estimated Delivery Date: Dec 18, 2009

Since we have several fulfillment centers across the U.S., the items in your order may sometimes be in stock at different locations. When you place your order, we estimate your ship date based on three factors

1. The proximity of your items to the delivery address you provide
2. How quickly we can obtain the items from suppliers if that is required
3. How quickly we can assemble items for shipment

Also, please note that for most shipping methods, items that are ordered on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday may not ship out until the following Monday.

If you'd rather cancel your order, I understand. You may cancel unshipped item online by following these steps and I would like to request you please return to our website and place a new order by choosing our third party seller who is having this item currently "Instock".

1. Click the "Your Account" link at the top of our web site.
2. Click the link that says "Cancel orders."
3. Sign in with your e-mail address and password.
4. Click the "View or change order" button on the relevant order.
5. Click the button that says "Need to cancel an item?"
6. Click the checkbox next to "Cancel 1 item" for any items you'd
like to cancel.
7. Click the "Cancel checked items" button.

You'll receive an e-mail confirmation of your cancellation.

Otherwise, we will ship as soon as we receive from our supplier.

If you haven't received a shipment confirmation by Dec 7, 2009, let us know by visiting the URL below:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/wheres-my-stuff.html/

In addition to our large selection, one of the benefits we'd like to offer our customers is convenience, and we have not met that standard in this case. Please accept our sincere apologies.

We appreciate your business and hope that you will give us the chance to serve you again in the near future.

Mother fsckers!

Anyways, this does hold with the theory a dozen pages back that Amazon is just giving estimated dates that are 2 months out (aligns with when I preordered in October). Hopefully this is a lie and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

PS

The tags stopped being funny.

[shaun132]

if the December release date it true, this ruins a big reason for me getting this phone ASAP, I wanted this phone because it was coming out so soon. By the time december comes the hd2 will be out in europe and other high end phones will soon follow by january.

[hypnotik]

December 7-18th? *FACEPALM*

[shaun132]

and especially now the hd2 looks t-mobile bound. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/14/htc-hd2-looks-t-mobile-bound/

Just an interesting sports headline ....................

and especially now the hd2 looks t-mobile bound. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/14/htc-hd2-looks-t-mobile-bound/

But there's no other phone like this one. Not yet at least.

[mykenyc]

wow i think someone need to take that email from amazon forward it to Nokia and ask them if this will happen also with direct pre-orders from Nokia because i definitely have the money now and will spend it on something else.

[range]

wow i think someone need to take that email from amazon forward it to Nokia and ask them if this will happen also with direct pre-orders from Nokia because i definitely have the money now and will spend it on something else.

Yeah. And maybe forward it to CNN and the pope, too.

[deadmalc]

Competition idea: Make a sentence using the tags?

[UCOMM]

and especially now the hd2 looks t-mobile bound. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/14/htc-hd2-looks-t-mobile-bound/

oh well, you have to give nokia credit for trying

[les_garten]

Yeah. And maybe forward it to CNN and the pope, too.

An excommunication or two can't hurt...

[mykenyc]

Yeah. And maybe forward it to CNN and the pope, too.

CNN yes pope i doubt it use the N900 maybe we can forward this to obama so he can get a extra security based specialized ultra battery portrait mode auto super duper device to market our beloved N900.

[Raubtier]

folks, you aren`t getting it, get used to it!

and if all fails:

Amazon UK have today put the date back from the 26th Oct to 2nd Nov. I am Not Pleased.


My Amazon.co.uk page still shows the shipping date as 26 Oct. When did you guys place your orders? Mine was on 29 Sep.

[RTbar]

I just watched a video and I can't say I'd prefer the HD2 over the n900... it's just too massive...

[Hogwash]

I preordered my N900 from amazon.com on sept 19

My boner has wilted

[Bratag]

Well for what its worth Nokia USA still sticking with the "Out this month line" Not that that means jack but she was pretty adamant. I had her ask her supervisor as well. Same response.

[sajd4000]

let's all cancel our orders and make Nokia wait for us to order again instead of us waiting for them :D

just let them feel how we are about to cry :(

[skalogre]

Honestly, I should thank Nokia for the, uhm, "fluid" release date. Otherwise I'd have to actually pretend I am working. Playing N900 release date thread dirty tag scrabble is much better.

[Ghule]

We could cancel and reorder once a week.

[ciaomatteo]

Yeah and then watch as the millions of others who don't pay attention to this thread or forum get their orders and Nokia's revenue doesn't even feel a kink. lol then we'll have to reorder and it'll be back of the line.

[RevdKathy]

My Amazon.co.uk page still shows the shipping date as 26 Oct. When did you guys place your orders? Mine was on 29 Sep.

My Amazon Account still lists it as shipping on 26th Oct, but if you access the device via search, it now says 2nd Nov. My guess is that they havent updated the accounts information yet.

Nokia did this with the last device I bought from them, so much so that the phone was eventually nick-named 'Godot' when I got it. Now I recall, I swore then I would never buy another nokia. Weak-willed fool that I am. *Sigh*

The calm rational part of me says I'd rather they get the thing right before shipping than send it out half-cooked. My non-rational side is stomping its feet and throwing a full scale hissy fit.

[sajd4000]

does Nokia even look at this fscking "funny lovely" thread
they should have at least one member represent them at this forum

[NvyUs]

never rely on the dates of third party distributors they just give conservative estimations to keep people off there back,
only take notice once nokia start fulfilling the shipments of there own pre-order backlog b/c usually the week after sites like amazon start shipping too

[skalogre]

Well, they are probably too busy laughing to do anything else. Either that or intentionally pushing back the release date to see what this thread devolves to :p

[RevdKathy]

Ok, Nokia. That's it. We're going on strike and will not update this thread for your amusement any longer. No more posts until you supply us with a REAL supply date.

[sharper]

http://store.nokia.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdetail_10500_10101_-1_10000367

[qole]

There definitely wouldn't be devices sitting in the warehouses of retailers weeks before the sales begin.

No, they're going to come pouring out of Nokia with the latest firmware on them and for the first while, I bet nobody's going to actually have many in stock, since they'll come into the warehouse and immediately go out again to get all sticky in your hands...

Not true. NokiaUSA has shipped out after distributors in the past.

[kingofkingz24]

I believe over 40000 so far US alone

[les_garten]

of course other stuff minus that but wow in general

[dormant]

I will be so pissed* if Expansys actually deliver my N900 in October. It'll go to Trinidad, but I'm away from there until 9th November.

Imagine an N900 sitting in a box in my office, unloved.

* US definition, not UK.

[kopte3]

Kinky Peter is so hot when he's reading about fictional hardware poetry so we all paid a private investigator to spy on him with time killer spy satellite. Private investigator, called Godot said "gimmie-gimmie-gimmie the money first, and then i'll go just around the corner to spy on him with my special driller machine". So we paid him with our money from funny tag competition and then we searched for term "fixed in harmattan" in our tweets showcase. Godot said that Peter said that he'll wait for n920, because he isn't sure is it here yet??? So, we said to Godot that he should watch Peter and not listen what he is saying because we didn't pay for that. If he continues to listen what he is talking about we'll take our money back and buy a time killer book called "N900 & prejudice".
wtf?

You prob knew anyway though!

I'm gonna boycott watching videos and reading about the n900 for a while (This thread not included; not like there's any news about n900 on this thread anyway ;) )...

The reason I'm doing this is because I'm tired of waiting for the phone!

I've been waiting for the phone so eagerly that I've probably watched all the videos on youtube on n900 and all the links posted at maemo talk... I actually want to have some amazement when I get the phone. You know the feeling of not being able to control your phone very well, and not knowing what button does what under a different menu. I feel like I already know too much to fully enjoy all the functions that come with the phone/tablet...

My 2c...

[bluehash]

Did anyone notice the tags for this thread? :)

[nuknuk]

:DAm i right by assuming that if we pre order through nokia we should get our phones 1st
dont all laugh :D

[Mengs]

:DAm i right by assuming that if we pre order through nokia we should get our phones 1st

Depends where you live and when did you order it... Therefore, no =/

Selected markets are going to be releasing it before others, and they are shipping them in the same order as they were ordered...

[NvyUs]

Not true. NokiaUSA has shipped out after distributors in the past.
USA is not everything
most nokia devices start shipping in europe first which is how 3rd party sites get them before nokia US does, they get theres from europe so not official US release.
you'll never see NAM versions go on sale in US before nokiaUS as them

[Hogwash]

Me not happy aswell but if you can indulge in 2 :eek:half hours of n900

The best option is to let it load and drag the progress bar along until you see something that interests you. They do give the device quite a thorough demo.

I hear you there. I feel exactly the same. It only brings more pain to the soul not being able to have it in my hands. It's like Amber's song from a few years ago... Don't you know that when you touch me baby that it's torture. Brush up against me I get chills down on my spine.

canceled from buy.com because of this email reply

We apologize for the delay of your order.

However, we have received an estimated time of arrival from our distributor and expect this product to ship on or around 11/20/09. Please note that this date is only an estimate and is subject to change. You will receive an email once the product ships and your credit card will not be billed until that time.

and will order through pc connection when my bank is credited because they are saying that they have a ship date of OCT.22

buy.com's cancellation dept. tried to say that i couldn't because the order was in fullfillment. and i told them how are they supposed to be full-filling my order when they will not have the product for atleast another month......

they cancelled the order.:rolleyes:

Woah, woah, no one said USA was everything. You made that conclusion yourself.

Now I made a mistake of getting ahead of myself because people keep asking or saying that Nokia USA specifically would ship before other distributors. But in the case of NokiaUSA, which to me is linked directly with Nokia, I still say that you cannot always count on their shipment date as when other distributors will start shipping because it has happened in the past where they botched the whole pre-order ordeal.

I think we just have to be careful about which Nokia we are talking about and what the actual release date of each selected market was supposed to be. UK could release at a certain date, but it doesn't necessarily mean Asia or USA would release at the same time. Reiterating what Meng said a few posts back.

I had the same thoughts at the Summit before I got mine. Fortunately, the N900 will still beat your expectations :D.
I was and continue to be blown away by the capabilities and opportunities this device offers. In my opinion, it toasts everything else on the market.

[Bratag]

I have never had anything but grief ordering from buy.com. I will never purchase from them again after , what I am calling , the saga of the broken and double monitors.

Also in response to battery lasting all day comment. If you read the power profiles thread - looks like battery lasting all day wont be an issue for 75% of users, those who use phone and internet a reasonable amount should be fine

[dwould]

anyone else worried that by the time they get the n900 they'll have forgotten what it is they used to look at on the internet other than n900 related information?


on that note anyone have a list of the first things they're going to try when it's finally in their hands?

Once your order is dispatched from our Fulfilment Centre you'll receive an e-mail confirming the date, contents and method of delivery.

Anyway, I'll probably get an email from them tomorrow apologizing for the new delay ¬¬
