We'll hold you to that promise...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

You can just ignore the preorder button and wait for the buy now button to pop up. What's the problem?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Tar and feather after that date?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Not enough...

Tar, Feather, and thrown onto an island with nothing except a huge billboard with a N900 on it.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Me likey...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

what i was trying to say was what if there is no pre-order button instead it says coming soon and when they have it in hand and put the buy now.
Man I was high when i wrote that and I still am:p
time to bed for me i guess.:p

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Lmao, I feel you man.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Especially given on sunday :)

All official-related dates indicate that delivery is goint to start in weeks 44-45 (it's only two weeks from now!!) I would not expect anything to happen before that. I ordered mine in day one and this was already then the estimated timeframe.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Exactly - and that's what I am doing now ...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

seems i cant get away from my deal


well guess who went to the summit at the westergasfabriek today and got a quick glimpse of an n900? ;)

it is indeed a very pretty tiny real cool gadget :D

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I would like to clear things up for everyone: US phones will be available between oct.19-30 and europe and other countries november 19th thru the 30th. My reasoning is this

from WIki:It was launched at Nokia World on 2 September 2009 and was expected to be released on 27 September 2009 in the United States and on 19 October 2009 in 9 European countries

SO as you can see clearly US markets are getting it first, since most of the nov dec dates are coming from euro sources, i suspect i am right.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

wiki is never wrong :rolleyes:
them dates you mention was rumoured dates some one as took them as official and put them wiki, i'd take no notice of them if i was you

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Wiki is wrong?!?!?! Blasphemy! :p:p:p I can not live in a world where wiki is actually false... *inserts sarcasm tone*

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Europe is also 19th and on, sir. :P the US isn't going to get a GSM phone one full month before all the other european countries. That just doesn't seem right. Regardless, Nokia told me that they're expecting shipping from the 19th of october, at least here in Spain.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Of course it seems right, we bribed the Nokia execs with American women and awesome Taco's! Plus when we get it before you, we'll more than thoroughly enjoy teasing and making you sweat, telling you how epicawesomepwnsauce it is!

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I happen to call Nokia/BrightPoint to make sure my order was good. A guy who i talked to over phone said they plan to ship it next week (week of 10/12).

Since many of "toys" in US start selling on Tuesdays, i am hoping for 10/13. Then again, who knows... :-)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I got 10/12 last time I called as well.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Is anyone finding it odd that they gave away pre-production n900's at the summit. A blog I visited said they will receive a pre-production unit in a few days. Doesn't that mean they haven't even started manufacturing the ones for the general public? I think it is going to be a while before they are out.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

It might just be that they rather use existing n900s rather then grab a few fresh ones off the press (which would affect shipments..granted I can't imagine how much it would effect it)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

The hardware is already 100% there, so pre-production probably means already produced and software still "buggy" (not made for mass market yet). In all their videos from the summit you can now see N900 on it, rather than N9XX :)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I do not. It's more than sensible to give the pre-production units (which in other case would be useless) and sell the 300 devices for end customers (I think they need every one of them to fill the need ;)).

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I will love you long time, if you're correct about this...free overnight shipping so I'll have it by Wednesday morning!

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

That is true since the summit was a planned event and they must of hand to test the manufacturing line on a few hundred phone, why not give them out. I think I am just thinking about it to much. I hope they are through the production and ready to be shipped.
Because i have been told twice now from Nokia USA that no later than two weeks into October.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

It's probably easier to keep track of pre-production units than retail units when they need to get them back in 6 months. ;)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I think Nokia missed a big marketing opportunity. Why not look at Apple for things they do well, marketing. A big announcement of a release date or even better the phrase "and all this is shipping starting now".

You may not like Apple, but the do know how to put on a show.

And a little "wow" (to quote another campain) would not be bad.

I just read an article in the leading German computer magazine c't about Nokia (http://www.heise.de/ct/inhalt/2009/22/84/) and how the want to be a service oriented company. So I will repeat what I sad earlier: please Nokia, talk too us. Give us some news. We are the base making Maemo possible, we are all willing to help, but you need to talk to us.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Nokia does not give a rat about you and I. They are simply taking their time to avoid HUGE recall down the road. Personally, I'm patiently waiting for them to announce the release date of this N900 device.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Take the n97 for example, it took them 6+ months from announcement to release. Did that translate into no large issues on release? nope
- lens scratch defect
- stability issues on the first firmware
- panned by many non-fanboy reviewers

I would not assme longer release time equals increase in quality at Nokia

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I think Nokia learnt a pretty short sharp lesson from the n97. I suspect they are doing everything in their power to make sure the n900 is not a repeat of that debacle.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Unfortunately one common problem is knowing where and when you can buy their products. I'm particularly confused that they still do this "In select markets" stuff.

It's been the same story with a number of Nokia devices - it gets announced, you hear rumours of release dates, as you get closer you keep checking the dates on various places and they keep moving about. Even when it gets to "release date" you find you can get it on ebay from Hong Kong but not anywhere else. Eventually some weeks/months after you thought you could get it you can buy it through regular channels.

Nokia only seems to communicate release information to its channel partners with no thought for end consumers.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Yeah that I can agree with.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

excuse my bad english, i'm a mexican C developer, i'll been waiting this phone so long that i'm feeling than i need it, i preorder it in amazon and nobody tell me when it arrives, i'm so desperated, can anyone , seriously give me an real shipping date?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Noone knows or we would - the best we know is sometime in October.

Welcome to the forums

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and I would like to leave my feedback about this device. I think this device will be here this week, next week, or end of October. I believe this because The nokia n97 mini will be in stores on Oct 23 from this website http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/3...ease_date.html

So that means N900 should come along with it too just like wat Sony did with their Satio Idou.

HOPEFULLY ^_^

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Is there any chance to have a version with 3G in 850? It will really blows here in Brazil, since it will be limiting the choice of the carriers here.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

The word on the amazon boards is that

"Just got off the phone with an Amazon customer service representative and I was told Nokia has stated to Amazon the phones will be available last week of Oct."

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I just called amazon:

"The customer service rep said that the item is on pre-order and they do not have the information on when it would be shipped."

I said that i was leaving the country soon and i needed a date so that i can decide whether to cancel this order or to order directly from nokia. So she transferred me to the cell phones department where i talked to another lady and she repeated the same. I again reiterated my problem and said that any information if available would be hugely helpful for me. She said she was very sorry as they did not have any information at all to give me.

So amazon does not know when they will get the n900's from nokia.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Welcome dude! Hopefully tomorrow is the release date and we'll start getting our phones Tuesday, but knowing our luck it'll probably be till the end of the month till we get them.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Why don't each one of us call amazon/nokia/buy.com and ask them and post their response here. That will give some meaning to this thread rather than blank speculation...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

because it's official press release? nokia still is limited liability company. SEC(USA stock market)&, FIVA (OMXH) monitors those. And for every delay one must create new press release. Or company pays millions and spends a lot of time in court. And releasing million press releases year is like kicking investors to nuts every time. (so much noise that there's no point even looking the releases for any important information)

and they cannot give official info outside press releases (court calls again)


so blame SEC & FIVA
