Yesterday I went to London and visited the Nokia flagship store on regent street. They told me that they had no N900, and what's more it had been removed from ALL the flagship stores.
It was indicated the reason for this was not wanting to give a bad impression to people base on some problems with pre-GA code base.

However,the person I spoke to also said he'd not seen an N900 at all which implied to me that the London store maybe never had one.

Anyone know if they've really been withdrawn at all stores? I guess it would fit with the nokia uk site showing a tentative November relase now :-(

"Select markets" could mean they ship 3 devices to Andorra.

(In fact, it really doesn't say anything about when it's going to be released in the US, the UK or anywhere else. IIRC, Nokia starts shipping devices to some countries earlier and other have to wait months until they get the same.)

It's me, or telling a potential customer those things about problems and all also gives a very bad impression?

if you get told anything different to me I will not be happy. It was the main reason I planned to go to London yesterday and I was most dissapointed bhy it's absence.

Most interesting that it sounds like it *is* in other flagship stores, at least in helsinki.
