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 =(

Go there now, show them the letter, and tell them you are not leaving until you have a N900 in hand.

from buy.com's help page:

Most orders go through these 4 phases: Processing - - Sent to Warehouse - - In the Shipping Process - - Shipped. Once you order, we carefully check to make sure you're the person using your credit card or gift certificate.

While we're doing this, or if we're waiting for you to send in other forms of payment, your order is Processing. You can cancel your order within the first 15 minutes of processing.

Once we have verified your payment, your order is Sent to Warehouse to be fulfilled.

An item that is In the Shipping Process cannot be cancelled because it is being picked from the shelves, packaged, and stacked on the loading dock.

If your item is in stock, your order will be Shipped within 1 to 2 business days.


my order is not even 2 hours old yet: 13Oct.2009 @ 11:10 AM (EST or -5GMT)

My guess is that Nokia has prioritized U.S. shipping for some "particular" reason.

just got off the phone with buy.com and 1 csr said that the authorization/verification has completed successfully and that my item should be shipping out soon and then she transfered me to another csr who said that they did not have a release date for the order from the manufacturer. they are going to contact the manufacturer and contact me back within the next 24 hrs. with a ship date.

Nokia has said the device is still being worked on. Unless Amazon has "beta" phones, I doubt Amazon is sitting on units in Phoenix.

They can keep that phone :)

I guess that Michael Jerz from Symbian had drilling machines of a finger to get scratches so easily on his N900.

Zerojay, the only stupid thing you can do is put a drilling machine in your pocket. :)

My God, drlling machines to get scratches ??? This guy should be in Marketing instead of being a phone rep.
