I guess Bret hart may be right with the fact that the interest in the device has taken Nokia by suprise then.
Well, Nokia, if youre reading... You have a hit on your hands, dont cock it up!
And Bret Hart - I totally know what you mean re the overexposure to the device via youtube etc. I even keep going to grab my phone out of my pocket and expecting it to be the N900. Sad, so sad.

I gotta agree with you, I also feel that this is something new for Nokia and they ain't all that prepared for this kinda demand, we all want the device so bad, and emotions go haywire sometimes, but we gotta cut Nokia some slack, they are new to this. At least somebody is trying to put some competition in the market, which is always good for us consumers.

Now this is getting interesting. I placed a pre-order on Amazon too for the new price. But if Newegg happens to charge and ship out first I'll cancel the pre-order on Amazon.

I am prepared to cut Nokia some slack for unforseen issues etc, things go wrong.
What I cant cut them some slack for ( and this has been mine and several other people's constant, driving message ) is the lack of consideration for those who are left to scour blogs and forums for what may or may not be accurate info.
If things have gone wrong, so be it - at least communicate that fact to the market. I dont think Im the only person on here who would rather have some negative, but correct and up to date info, than some wishy washy false-positive crap that slowly filters out through 2nd or 3rd parties.
EDIT: Its worth noting that sites like engadget, slashgear etc, are not even reporting these shipping updates. Seems they arent too happy to be passing on false hopes either.

This all ties into my theory that Nokia intended the device as a pocket computer with phone function, but a LOT of the people buying the N900 will be expecting a high end smartphone. The functions missing will result in (IMO) a lot of returns and the N900 will not be given a chance by this (probably) large segment of buyers.
If Nokia does not enable one-handed phone and message function ASAP, the device will be given an unfair view by the media and consumers expecting a smartphone. Then again, since not function out of the box- probably too late.

Maybe we will see a phone centric version with call, home and end buttons as well as a phone centric interface. N900P
Yeah, right.

If the N900 receives bad reviews because of not being able to SMS with it one handed then the people who pay attention to such a narrow view dont deserve such an awesome looking bit of tech. **** em.

N900 is sold out in Nokia Finland Online Shop. They couldn't deliver all the pre-orders. They said that backorder number isn't large but still they couln't fill all the pre-orders.
