Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
At least 2 french people who preordered on nokia.fr received an email from customer service saying `the official release date for n900 is december 2009` .

I don`t know the delay between countries , as information I bought the 5800 the day it was available and it was around 1er of february.

If I ever have to wait till december to receive this phone, I would have to save the money and continue using my N95.

I've never heard of operators rejecting it, what's your source?

You could also say the iPhone works like a computer, so many phones these days have Skype either embedded into the phone or as a downloadable app. As far as flash, that's the same as if you were watching YouTube off an iPhone or Android based phone. It's still the same amount of data passing through the network. If that was really happening I would assume the HD2 would have more problems then the N900, especially considering it's faster hardware means you'll be able to access data allot faster than anything else ( including the N900 ). Operators are not going to reject a phone that everyone wants, and the reviews are saying is one of the most anticipated devices of the year...from a business standpoint it doesn't make any sense, rejecting something you'll make a ton of money off of...

Plus most if not all of the equipment used by the operators comes from the cell phone manufactures (e.g. Nokia). If the device meets GSM standards then compatibility should not be an issue.

yeah.. well maybe he has a point.. i mean it is a 'linux phone' kind of.
if all your customers start downloading weird open source programs on the device which drains the battery, crashes the os or what not, what would customer support do? give everyone a new one? selling the phone but not supporting the customer when technical/software issues..?

dont know what their problems or requirements are when it comes down to new phones in their shops.

make a ton of money... or a lot of unsatisfied customers, returned phones, service time covered by YOUR insurance which applies to ALL the phones sold in you store. dont know

Much as I love this, for the majority, it won't be. I've bought a number of phones from Asia in the past, and all of them were complete, unadulterated *crap*. They really didn't have any QA at all, meaning they were basically unusable. Hardware defects like the second sim splot not working, etcetera.

Okay that's assuming the phone is released by the actual cell company. Unlocked phones which aren't purchased through the actual carrier aren't supported by that carrier when it comes to technical service issues. Sure you may be able to find hint's and tips if you have a problem, but they're not going to support a product that isn't branded.

I was on my own when I used my E90 on AT&T, I had to search all over hell to find the appropriate settings to get the text, internet setup. If the carrier isn't getting any money for the unlocked phone you bought then why should they support it, and waste their own money a product they didn't benefit from when you initially bought it ( a cut of the pie if you will ).
