I really must say, this is by far the most entertaining thread on here! We are all anxiously awaiting our devices, but this is turning into a fun comedy/investigator/speculation topic!

My addition to that is, that we should all pitch in for a private investigator to go spy in finland at nokia's factory!

Let's hope the 2nd week of October is correct, but in reality.... no way it can be, they should have shipped allready for that.

I'm betting on getting at the beginning of november. That way I hope I don't get disapointed.

But by all means, continue continue! :cool: :p

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?

sorry plaese anytip about were to oreder it from to get it b4 8th of november ?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Unless there's a specific date, that doesn't mean much.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I think people get all too confused about or make up how it should have been shipped by now to reach the mid-October rumored or speculated release date.

The whole idea that, "It should be in my hands--for those that pre-ordered--by the first of the second week in October," sounds a bit unreasonable. It would be a nice thought except... If they really wanted to do it that way Amazon, if you pre-ordered it from there, wouldn't have offered options for shipping.

This is similar to the confusion about how it should have been shipped by the time distributors got it on September 27th when in actuality that's when distributors receive it which does not mean that it will be shipped to customers the day after or on that day.

This "mid-October" week isn't even over yet and I think the biggest confusion is misconstruing the word release. Because to them it could just mean that's when they ACTUALLY ship it. So they might ship it the end of the 2nd week or maybe the actual mid-October 15-16 and you might not even get it until the 3rd week because you decided to opt for free shipping (lol)..

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

thanks jay so i guess u mean by that that i should cancel my amazon pre-order and change it to nokia store ? or it will be the same on amazon same date as nokia store :) thanks alot i know am asking too much :$ :$

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

well at-least for now we got valid month from NOKIA itself as long as i didn't see dec im cool i just want this phone before the Motorola Cliq come out because everyone in my store love it , everyone but me getting it and i want the best phone(love to stand out).:D

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

The point is, nobody knows, and this whole thread is speculation.

The Nokia site says "end of october", but I'm sure somewhere in the site's small print, it says "dates are subject to change" or "dates are only estimates".

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

i see and were did u order it from ? nokia store or amazon ( in previous mobiles like the N97 was the phone released at the same day in amazon and nokia store ? )

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

You can Google for that topic. Nokia has had a history of not shipping before other distributors. Buying from Nokia is like playing Russian Roulette. There have been N97 pre-order debacles.

Although I don't care when I get it as long as it's within a price range that I'm pretty happy with from a reliable and reputable distributor.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I didn't order one, it's out of my price range right now.

Plus, I am still very enamored with my N810.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Hmm.. I made note of two new thing about the Nokia preorder now.


When I Order mine I got a free blue tooth headset... which is no longer added when you add phone to cart.

And I choosed overnite shipping... but now they only have the express and standard shipping.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Or it will be changed. Because when I preordered my device, the nokia shop in Germany said 12th of october, now it says (well for two weeks now) 30th of october.

As has been said in this thread before and before and before and before and before and before.

Does nobody read this monster before hitting reply? :rolleyes:

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Another good question is, does anybody read any of these posts before hitting reply?





:D

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I post strictly using the force :)

Your Humor is out of alignment, young padawan. :p

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

That's what I've been thinking and saying. That's why I make sure to thank useful posts. Too bad they don't get a nice effect like some bolder outlines or something to make them stand out depending on how much they were thanked.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

lol that was a joke.

read the post before that one.
:cool:

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I like this thread. I've understood every single post! Most of them were useless, of course, but I understood them. :)

Amazon UK tells me they plan to ship it on Oct 26th, I should have it on the 27th. They also tell me that dates are subject to change. If it arrives by the 30th, I shall be a happy bunny. If not, I shall probably sulk a little. But I'd rather have it when it's ready than risk it having to go into scbu cos it's prem.

Seriously, it's like being pregnant!

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

That's one flaw with this format of forum.

We've got nearly 60 pages of blabber - I'm not wading through that. I want to read the initial post to find out what the deal is....I may read through the first couple pages at most, and if I don't read anything interesting (and if I think I have something to say) I'll hit reply.

Far better are those forums that have a mechanism for promoting the most useful replies to the top (eg. stackoverflow.com).

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Sounds like a brainstorm idea!

Start a thread.

NOW!!

|||EDIT

Ooooh, 400 thanks!

To 400 of you: You're welcome. :)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Hey

Hopeing that its true :)

From Kehaan.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I've read the last 10 pages, so I just wanted to tell you: My preorder was on August 29th, so, I don't know when your preorder was, but i am waiting for 1 1/2 months now. That's challenging.

But I believe, in Germany it will be released during the next two weeks.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Being that i ordered from Sparco.com, they have a list of all their warehouses and the ETA for each on the N900.

Being that i pre-ordered mine 09-11-09, when i pre-ordered it, here is the history of there ETAs for all warehouses:
- on 09-11-09 it said ETA would be Sept 25th
- on 09-15-09 it said ETA would be Oct 22nd
- on 09-22-09 it said ETA would be Nov 2nd

And now since 10-09-09 it says different dates for each warehouses, some Oct 22nd and some in mid Nov as you can see here. So i think them getting more precise with there ETAs means that it should have a limited supply for Oct for pre-orders and probably will receive a next batch for November.

They also show that in PA and TX are the ones receiving it Oct 22nd which makes sense because they are the ports of entry for containers. So i think the ETAs should be accurate with them.

And if thats the case, i hope i get mine on the first batch.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Could it be, could it be?

Hope nokia netherlands will ship soon too!! So exciting! :D

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Hai guys...

I'm sure everyone is waiting eagerly and I've been following this and other threads for a while and I'd like to input my 2c...

I HOPE that they are going to be shipping the devices soon, and I know many of you would much rather have the device now to just play around than wait any longer... But looking at this from a neutral perspective, I doubt that is going to happen.

If you follow closely on all the youtube uploads up to now, many of the videos actually show a lot of flaws still in the n900. I can't remember specifically what, but there seem to be a number of bugs. Now, unless these are already fixed, they still have some way to go till the release (because they probably have to plug the bugs and stuff that don't work, and re evaluate from there)..

On the other hand, I just received a letter from my operator that I bought the phone from, telling me that it's ready to be picked up in coming days.. Don't know what coming days mean, nor do I know if this was sent to everyone that ordered a n900, the letter was not dated =/

Also, I have spoken to some Nokia reps and I know for a fact that Finland is going to be one of the first countries that are getting the n900 (I don't know what "one of the first" means in detail). Also, I have been told by Nokia that phones are shipped out in the order that they were made.

Also, it seems a bit weird for Nokia to give out 300x N900's to developers and then the next week start shipping the phones; it hardly gives the developers time to test out their software and have a large enough repository to pull in some of the non-techsavvy audience. Remember that we are the geeks that follow what's going on with N900 every single day, of course you wouldn't mind having this phone now. But think about the marketing power that this phone could have, if/when they advertise it to have hundreds of programs ready.

My guess would be; the last week of the month earliest... Let the waiting begin =(

Meanwhile; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHSZfhY25Jc Quake III Arena on Nokia N900 for those who haven't seen it yet...

Edit: omg, there are claims that people are being billed... could my tl;dr rant just bite me back =)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

How lucky! And they do not ship to switzerland :-(.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?

I am going out of the country on october 23rd and would love to have it before that date. If this is true i will switch from amazon to buy. com
Can any one confirm this?

Thanks
