Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
So really when you sit back and look at everything it sounds like the phones are all ready to go, Amazon ( hopefully ) already has them and assigned each to it's pre-order's but really Nokia isn't releasing them because the updates you can get directly from the phone are all ****ed up?

I'm going by what the guy in the other thread said about updating the N900 he has in his possession along with the guy in AZ who said the thing about the Amazon warehouse.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
Haha, well it's not like Amazon would be opening the box and updating things on each phone.

Though servers are going be slammed the first few days then if out of the gate all the devices need updates.

Yeah exactly my point, Amazon is not going to send back the hundreds, possibly thousands of phones they have... so basically our ebil demon plans of torturing Nokia execs should be enacted... after all if Nokia would hurry up we'd have them already. Hogwash grab your pitchfork we're going on an overseas road trip--who else wants to come?

UPDATE: Just found out reason for delay. Nokia needs to update the phone when you first connect to service or online: The firmware/software update is not ready yet. Out of the box, you might as well be using pre production devices till the update. Most distributers do have the phone in hand and are at their wharehouses. Someone who has buy.com preorder please email them and see what they say.

Quite honestly I'd rather have the phone now and have Nokia disable any updating on their end till they get this figured out,and just deal with whatever problems there are on the phone...I just want it, and will gladly look aside whatever fw problems there are.

It does sound feasible with all the weird and random status updates from Amazon and buy.com in the last few days. Unfortunately, software an QA are not exactly Nokia's strong points. Just look at the mess the e71 firmware update for USA users has gone through

Those are the cheapest. Personally I am sticking with my Nokia pre order. they have been the most consistent in their estimate. In an inconsistent kind of way :)

As much as I want it first, I'll stick with Amazon--I'd rather save $70 and have to wait an additional two or three weeks than get it, as much as I'll go crazy waiting, no point in wasting money just because I want to be the first one...

Watch Amazon people will get it first before the Nokia people... than I'll just LOL!

If you would like to get it shipped to your house in Canada, you should try Sparco.com...

won't i have to pay additional brokerage and such?

Phlook 2009-10-13 01:35
Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
No Joshua. The price listed should be the price... it wont be anything like amazon but just the fact of getting it across the border is good enough and its under the retail price too so that shouldnt matter.

I'm from Canada and i'm getting mine from http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wire...roductid=25125 with express shipping. Cost just as much in the end as Sparco.com with it's 30~ dollar shipping charge. I'm not sure if that's express though.

Ordered from them too, I took the 25$ shipping and I'm still waiting for an answer to my question about which company they use to ship... any idea?

Hopefully i can get them to ship via USPS!

Well it says priority mail so i'm guessing it'll be from usps since they use the term priority mail. I too hope they ship via usps. I don't feel like travelling to the distribution centres if they miss my deliveries.

This is from Amazon Customer Discussions:

Hello,

I JUST called NokiaUSA website number - 1-866-59NOKIA
Representative picked up the phone. I will basically write EXACTLY what both of us said.
I can try and call more times if wished, and check up, but this is what I got:

Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on one of your phones.
Rep: Okay, and what phone would that be?
Me: The N900. I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: The phone should come out on a day this week.
Me: Are you sure it's this week?
Rep: Yes. They should be released this week.
Me: When would they be shipped?
Rep: We do not have an exact shipping date for this phone. But if you pre-ordered it, you should recieve it within the relased date of this week. We do it on a first come first serve basis.
Me: Okay. What if I pre-order the N900 tonight, will it be shipped out with 1st or 2nd batch?
Rep: You should have it when it comes out this week.
Me: Okay.
Rep: Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia, have a great day!

Basically, HE told me it would release THIS week. Now, I am skeptical of that, all though I hope he is telling the truth.
Right now I will call again, hopefully a new representative and try to find out other...

Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on the N900.
Rep: Yes sir.
Me: I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: It should be out this week.
Me: This week? Are you sure?
Rep: Yes. The information we have says that it will be released this week.
Me. Is there maybe like a specific date or anything?
Rep: No sir. Only information we have say that it will be out this week.
Me: Is there a guarentee?
Rep: No sir. We only know that it should be coming out this week.
Me. Okay. Okay well if I order it tonight, will I recieve it when it comes out? Or do I have to wait longer?
Rep: You will recieve it as soon as it comes out sir.
Me: Okay. Okay, and is there any case for this phone?
Rep: No. We do not have any cases for this model yet.
Me: Okay, thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia.

Basically, I JUST got the same responce, both representatives said the N900 would be out this week. No SPECIFIC date, but the information THEY were given said that it will come out this week, and if you order it/pre-order it now, you will still get it as soon as it comes out.

Now I am not telling you people that its THIS week, but I am throwing in my help to try and figure out WHEN it will be coming out.
Hope this helped in some way, and hopefully it is this week.
Anyone to call them and confirm?

ysss 2009-10-13 11:14
Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
I think Amazon was supposed to ship the N900 this week, ahead of Nokia's pushed-back release date and due to the information posted on this board, Nokia distribution will be aware of the mess-up and correct Amazon to the proper November release date :D

sharper 2009-10-13 11:22
Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
Guys I don't know why you're all contacting various support reps to find out when it's going to be released. They don't know anything more than anyone else and you're just going to get annoyed if they say a date and then that date passes.

I would suspect at this point even the N900 dev team couldn't give you a cast iron date. I think it's pretty likely they're working through some critical bugs and the hardware won't be released until there's a known good build of software to put on it. The last thing Nokia will want is a negative impression of Maemo since this is their first attempt to put it into the phone/smartphone space.

Just assume you won't see the device until November sometime and that way you'll only be pleasantly surprised if it shows up earlier.

TOY?

did you see the linux ***** on that thing i dont even want to think about it all i dont know what ive done its a hardcore h4x0r-pr0-gr4mm4r device.. wish i bought the ibomb... ;(

serious. it's like a girl. i need one because something inside me says so. but i don't know how it works, its too damn complicated and its only going to frustrate me. and once you know how it works, you have to get deeper into it to understand it better. and the deeper you get into it the more time you spend on it, which will make you in the end very very unhappy and the fun of just playing with it wont be there anymore. You spend so much time on trying to figure it out and then something works and you can play with it, then you are SO damn happy it finally works and you play way too long. then you dont have time for your friends anymore and you become lonely just with n900 and you know it all well and stuff and its fun. but the reason you actually got one is fulfilled and its not fun damnit.

im gonna call nokia NL. will update later.

Ghule 2009-10-13 13:45
Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
I called NokiaUsa this morning also.. They said that their information shows 2nd week of Oct to ship. Then the guy said that it would mean sometime this week. He then ask me for contact information... and I told him I had already pre-ordered and just wanted to know a release date.

At least they are saying this week... but since they are saying their information shows... i guess their information could change.. but I hope not.
