For me buy.com charged me tax for purchase here in California. total would come out close to $600.00

from amazon = no sales tax in CA so total is still $582.00 plus it's amazon so i can rest easy. :P (I ordered from amazon ofc)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Yes, but what is the point of having a bunch of rabid drooling N900 fan's show up in mass numbers and NOT have any N900's on hand to give them? Clearly we're not the sanest bunch around :D

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Have none of you heard of patience?

I have moved to a calmer astral plane knowing that I will get an N900 before I die and that I will be content when I get it. I've even stopped talking about the N900 to non-believers.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

its easier said than done. i've been using my crappy n75 since my primary phone literally fell to pieces.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Like Amazon, buy.com sells some items themselves and acts as a intermediary for a number of small companies. The small companies should have buyer experience ratings. I wouldn't buy from one where buyers have had problems. As far as my own experience, I have bought a number of things from buy.com without any problems but I have never had to use their customer service.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I totally agree with buy.com's customer service, it's almost impossible to get a refund, and it takes forever. It's usually pretty cheap and ships out promptly, but if it was only a ~$25 difference, I would use Amazon over it in a heartbeat.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Are there any apps for the N900 in the Ovi store yet?

I heard that by the time it will ship, there will be some apps...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

so far...
http://maemo.nokia.com/maemo-select/applications/1/0/0/
Ovi is coming soon..

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Oh yeah, i know about the maemo,nokia ones (thanks), but from the Maemo Summit in an interview, he said that ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzNbPAgcHMw ) that when the device ships, there will be ovi store applications available.

That may be a good indicator if it is going to be released soon...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Yeah buy.com have basically screwed up every order I have ever placed with them (3 to date and thats 3 strikes and you are out).Last order they shipped me a monitor - was broken, called for an RMA to return it. Then got a notice of a new monitor order having been placed. They charged my card AGAIN. I called and said hey I dont want it cancel it, only to be told that sales support couldnt cancel and order placed from their RMA dept. Had to ship back the old one - then receive the new one and then they had the balls to try charge me for the shipping to return that one.

NEVER AGAIN!!

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I've bought items from Buy.com before with no problem. Products were 100% as described with no faults. But, I have heard about their poor customer service. So while I did buy my n800 from them I won't be buying my n900 from them.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

eh, i no they got poor customr services now, they told me two different dates which are kinda off the wall, so i knwo the true date is between
19th to 30th of october and ill just have to trust my sources

We're perfectly sane it's the rest of the society that is psychotic...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Ummm.... in the first video as the phone is turning down, look at the bottom of the screen on the phone--are those scratches??????

I'm certainly not turning the phone on when I get it, till my screen protectors get here.

FYI for you all, got an email from InvisiShield ( one of my fraternity brothers is the CFO and I asked him a while back if he could see about doing something ) stating they are currently working on a full body shield for the N900 and should hopefully have it released within the next three weeks or so. If they get this out within that time frame they'll get allot of business solely based on the fact that their aren't that many protections for the N900.

This phone is too beautiful to cover up with hard cases imo...so the full body shield plus a carrying case= uberness

Hmm, what university did you go to spinnukur?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

i want to get my phone settings resolved be4 the n900 comes out so im ready to copy the exact settings. Has anyone got their google voice number shown as caller id rather than their SIP sccount number when making outbound calls?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

If you have Google Voice...I'd love for an invite! ;)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

If your SIP is Gizmo5, just enter your GV number on the Gizmo web page and it is automatic. Of course, I am using an N810. I know nothing about the N900...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I'll send you one if no one else already has.

EDIT: emailed to you. If you don't need it, please tell me so I can reuse it.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

This edit is only to thank MountainX

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I sent it to you via PM at this forum rather than email. Check your inbox. If you don't use it for some reason, please tell me.

BTW, I only have 1 invite left, so I will not be giving that one away yet. I'll save it for a really good use... maybe a Maemo developer or someone like that.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Does Google voice even have invites? I can't see where mine are if so...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

They're rolling invites, so you'll prolly have them by the end of the month...hopefully.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Okay cool.

When I get them I'll send them out to anyone who wants one. If anyone has Google Wave an invite would be really appreciated.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Accepted and greatly appreciated bud! When I get invites, if you have anyone who needs one let me know so I can return the favor.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

ya does anyone have google wave invites? I have a google voice acct. I can't find where the invites are...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Getting a Google Wave invite would be cool. I'd appreciate that too.

Hey, I think we should start a new thread for sharing invites...

Ah, I did my undergrad at Maryland, and am currently doing my masters at Catholic University. I want to get my PhD eventually, though I'll probably go from my part-time work at the Census to full time and then hopefully will be approved for their higher education benefits program.

On a sidenote: Anyone know when Amazon's pre-order sale will end? Or anyone have an inkling? Apparantly the TMobile info will be up around the 25th..and I really don't wanna miss out on the pre-order deal if Amazon has the better deal.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Nice, my brother went to Maryland and sister to MIT ( total geek ).

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

hi everybody

i watched this thread for a while.
Just registered to tell you that a few shops here in germany now say they got a few phones in stock.
My online shops says "shipped within 3-5 days"
(last week they told me that they will get the phones from there distributor on 20th of october)

so, i hope i'll get mine on wednesday

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Hi

I don't know what "few phones in stock" really means. I can't belive they really have them but I want to belive.....
OK, the truth is out there I'll call tomorrow and ask directly....

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Okay this is getting serious now, I had a dream about the N900 this morning!

I dreamt that when it finally came out the screen was actually recessed and the touch screen far too sensitive so it was almost impossible to use, I kept selecting the wrong things.

I then grabbed a pre-production unit and confronted [some guy] from Nokia (who just happened to be in the next room) telling them how I much preferred the earlier units design than the final one, showing him the difference between them (I had both my retail unit and the pre-production one in my hands). But when I looked down I then noticed I wasn't holding an N900 pre-production unit but a different model entirely that also had a recessed screen, yet the Nokia guy agreed that he preferred the flush screen of the pre-production unit too.

I then went frantically looking trying to find the REAL pre-production N900 and came to the conclusion someone stole it. I then woke up and came on here to post my freaky dream.

Now what does all this say about MY sanity?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

@mak, sonicer
When you talk to the call center they only tell you that they have "a few" in stock, then you order and get an email "Sorry, others were faster. Time to wait for next delivery: 10-14 days" ;-)
I stay with my current preorder and will only switch when the known good online shops here in Germany (amazon, t-online, alternate, technikdirekt et. al.) have it in stock ealier.

Bye

Thorsten

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

i already switched my order last week.
so my currently online shop told me last week via mail and yesterday via letter that the phone will arrive them on the 20th of october (43KW).
so, i'm already a little bit sceptical but i think they told me the correct date

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

@mak
Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude ;-)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

@mak, @schnebeck: KW 43? Das ist morgen!!!! :D Für Deutschland wär's ne gute Nachricht! Aber der Nokia Shop sagt immernoch 30. Oktober, ob das auch für die ersten Vorbesteller gilt? Ich hab Ende August vorbestellt.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

wär soooo schön, wenns diese woche kommen würde... ich träume jede nacht davon... xD
aber es wundert mich auch, das auf nokia.de noch der 30.Oktober steht, weil aus einer anderen quelle (typ, der hier in berlin bei nokia arbeitet) auch die info kam, dass es diese woche kommt...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

wie gesagt, ich rechne momentan damit, dass ich am mittwoch post bekomme. :cool:

Befürchte aber natürlich täglich, dass sich die Auslieferung doch noch verzögert.
So wie sich der Shop bis jetzt aber präsentiert hat geh ich eher davon aus, dass sie verlässlich Angaben machen.
(und wie gesagt, bei zwei Shops wird seit heute unter Lieferstatus "wenige Stück verfügbar" angegeben, dass lässt ja hoffen)
