" Amazon does not have any units in any of it's warehouses, Nokia hasn't even notified our cellular executive team of when we can expect the units nor will they explain why there is a delay. Nokia is basically telling us nothing about when the product will be released or when we'll receive our stock."

She stated this was told to her by her sr.manager this morning at their daily manager business meeting--apparently Amazon is selling so many units, getting so many emails and phone calls everyday from customers asking "when", that upper management is finally telling there subordinates what is actually going on.

Something is going on with the N900 and Nokia obviously doesn't want people to know... I only hope she's wrong because otherwise it may be Jan.2010 when we get our phones.

Seriously, I think nothing happens with the N900 itself. There are now people using it for some time, and the NDAs seem to have expired. There's also some people that have used it on Nokia World 09 without signing any NDA and nobody seem to have noticed anything.

Said that, the only explication I could think of is because some operators are suspicious about letting N900 work on their networks. If Nokia solds you a device like this for 600€ and your operator doesn't let you connect to their 3G network, it would be a *HUGE FAIL* for Nokia.

Hmm, I wonder if the delay is to bring the N900 into line with the launch of Project Black.

Doubtful, otherwise every unlocked phone ever made by every cell company would probably get delayed so they could make sure they had the 'approval' of the networks that the phone 'might' be operating on.

I used my E90 on both AT&T and now T-Mobile, and I'm sure Nokia never asked them for permission. The service providers need the cell companies, otherwise it's just a name neither products or service.

Yeah... that date was changed from "october 12, 2009" to the newly set date. Don't believe it yet.
