So... it's mid-November now...

[johnkzin]

In fact, you can't get any more "mid-November" than now.

Where's the N810!? :-)

[sherifnix]

Derayed!

My black EEE comes tonight woo!

For the courtesy of N800 users, we will launch the online availibility of the software during December with the OS2008 performance upgrade


Which is very poor english,

From what I have heard, the delay is due to the OS, not the hardware. The units are ready to rock, but the OS2008 isn't quite ready yet.

Actually there's not a single thing wrong with the English in that quote, other than a slight misspelling.

And it's been well-advertised that the N810 has slipped by a week or so, guys.

YEAH! ...what Tex said!

I can't remember ever being so impatient waiting for something to be released.

In the meantime of course there's plenty of work to do.

200+ days in a hotel this year, and over 2-dozen cities in the U.S. I picked up and put down GPS devices half-a-dozen times over the last month or so each time telling myself "Wait for the N810...wait for it..."

Half the people I work with have purchased GPS devices already. If I could show them a GPS that can also check e-mail via wifi, play music, browse the web and all that I could sell a dozen.

Not that I care. I just want mine!

Arnim: My worst time waiting for a release was when there was a big lineup to the bathroom at the bar... but I don't think that's what you mean. ;)

People are starting to pick them up already in the US. The N800 is still $400+ in Canada. *sigh*

It has? From what I've seen nothing at all about the N810 has been well advertised.

[aflegg]

I've also not seen anything official from anyone directly connected with Maemo saying that the release has slipped. All I've seen is Texrat saying "it's well known it's slipped" - I think I missed the first couple of times he said it, 'cos then it wouldn't have been well known ;-)

The last official thing was the Maemo announcement saying they were now in the distribution channels. We also have thoughtfix saying they can be ordered now in the US, and hearing that some people are being told they're shipping now.

Estimate dates on sites like Expansys are usually useless, too. So can anyone say definitively a) that it's definitely been delayed; b) by how long; c) who made this decision and how it's been communicated?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

I quote Andrew.
I only remember I read it somewhere (about the delay), but can't remember where.
May be Texrat himself said it in a post and I've read it...

Anyway they never said "this week", they only said "it will be shipping soon",
(and "mid-november"), so we all thought it would have been the just ended week.
At least hoped: as most of us got the discount already.
I for one was really happy to receive ahead of time.
It's been a long week, and I kind of like the waiting (as I know I will eventually get it :D).

So well.. weekend is here, time to rest an play with the OS2008 beta firmware we've "stolen" so far.

[fpp]

Folks... maybe just sit back and enjoy life ? It will be out when it's ready... As Hedgecore said, there are plenty of interesting things to to in the meantime :)

Actually, I'd've been surprised if it was released last week. I would've been less surprised about it being released next week; but just wanted to find out when this delay was first mentioned/decided/announced and whether that'd conflict with what I'd heard about device availability from someone relatively in-the-know.

Sounds like a reasonable request!

Hopefully I'm watching some zen autumn tree photos (thanks mom!) until the N810 is available to order in France:
