They call that a sale price ?

Probably is compared to for how much they'd like to sell it :p

ya - no doubt. 699 was too steep for me :rolleyes: . i canceled the order.
this was more of a "see when it'll ship" exercise.

cheers!

I got mine today, But I'm a Nokia PRO developer, so it was thru internal channels. It looks like a full retail kit. The FW is pretty damn good. One crash in 8 hours, and the offending app is closed, a log file is generated and sent, and you continue on your merry way. Only one of the five repositories is up yet, so very new updates and programs. The build quality is spectacular. and the screen is great. Too soon to report on battery life. MoE, NokMess, Skype all work well. Camera has 'issues', but expect that will be sorted.

I talked to nokia USA directly today and the lady said it will be available mid october. You can call for yourself and ask.

Are you fscking kidding me? No video chat?

How can that be right? It's not like Nokia hasn't had years to get it's friggin' act together.

If you are talking about Video chat on Skype - then go complain to Skype to update their Skype client for Maemo.

It depends on where the problem lies. If there's an issue with the OS integration of the webcam hardware, major suckage will ensue.

Application-layer bugs are not such a big deal to solve - people have been happily video-chatting for years.

There just is *NO* mobile skype client with video support out there. For any platform. Please walk on by now, there's nothing to see here (literally!).

The Google stuff worked with video even on the N800.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
I don't care whether I use Skype or whatever - all I want to know is "can I make webcam video calls with the N900?"

Ceeceebee is in an ideal position to answer this....
