Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

the supplier of your retailer probably decided not to carry the n900 after all. it has nothing to do with the manufacturer, that's just a standard message.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

@mak, where did you place your preorder?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Although it might be true. I just couldn't help to laugh because...

"Some voices over the Internet suggest that October 26 might prove to be a lucky day"

would be funny if it originated from this thread with our random date guessing.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

All these rumors flying around, makes my kitten sad!
Ive set my mind on week 43-44, like official sources have told, if it comes earlier Im happy, but only time will tell...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Yeah it was. I've been following daily.


And my guess is the phones will be out within 2 weeks, because they are trying to get more and better software on the phone before they release it to the world. They are probably reading reviews of the phones they gave away in Amsterdam and fixing software right now.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

*YAWN* Wake me up when it gets here.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

i somehow doubt that

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Funny, all the press release rehashes from Aug 27 say "October in select markets". Anything else hasn't gone out officially at least, although there was the rumour US distributors would have it in late September.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I'm sure you're just kidding but they might have a good reason not to ship to or release* from distributors yet. A minor bug in a new device can put a serious damper on its future prospects. While we're understanding of such things, major reviewers generally are not.

No matter how badly everyone here wants to see the N900 ship there are a bunch of folks at Nokia that want it even more. They'll ship it as soon as they can and not a day more so they can get paid ASAP. Every day is a lot of lost money to them. There is nothing we can do about it except be patient and understanding.

I think the earliest legitimate and verifiable sign that a real shipping date is soon is when people start reporting their CCs getting charged. Everything else should be taken with a grain of salt.

With all that said IMO Nokia might have been able to handle this matter a little better. Apple generally refuses to comment on ship dates until they are ready to ship within a few days.

As for a lawsuit IMO there's really not too much there. The release date was tempered with the usual disclaimers [on their website et al] so no real promise was made and AFAIK no direct preorder charges have been placed. Again, I'm sure you were kidding and its to the benefit of others. Suspect there are a few JDs here that would have a more enlighten thought on this.

* I'm surprised that no one out there has posted any pictures of N900s sitting in a distributor's warehouse which makes me question the veracity of such eyewitness claims.

That's beautiful...simply beautiful.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I posted this in the N900 UK thread but this may be of use to the UK forum members who are ordering their N900's.

Right guys, be gentle, a newbie here but i'm going to throw a big spanner into the works here in terms of how to get a sim free N900 direct from Nokia for the princely sum of: £310.61 (also works for anyother Nokia phones but as this a N900 thread)

You have until the 21st October for this to work.

first go to http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ and create an account, they're a bit like quidco but no fees, bascically they have agreements in place with merchants where a % of your purchase is passed on to you in the form of cashback, this is usually paid 2-3 months after your purchase has been verified and will go either into your bank account or paypal depending on what you've entered as your preferred payment option.

Ok, once logged in and signed up, click on search in the merchants and you will see Nokia, it show's 10% off, if you're signed in and click the visit merchant button you will then open a new window that will take you to the Nokia UK website, add the N900 (or whichever phone you wish to purchase in the cart and checkout).

Once you have checked out you will see that the sum being asked for is £499 inc free delivery.

Ok, scroll to the "Enter Promotion Discount" box and enter: AFFUK15

This will reduce £74.85 off the phone should now come up at a rate of £424.15

Again go to the "Enter Promotion Discount" box and enter: SOCUK15

This will reduce £63.62 off the phone should now come up at a rate of £360.53.

Please note that topcashback on the discount codes & deals tab of the nokia retail page says:
You can use both codes AFFUK15 and SOCUK15 at the same time.

I have just tried it now and it does work!

Ok so the phone is now down to £360.51 which is pretty damn good, well because you used Topcashback you will get 10% off the price, no not the final price with all the discounts but in fact the starting price which is £499 so you will get cash in your account or paypal for another £49.90 meaning your N900 will have cost you £310.61.

I believe the Soc Media discount code is going to expire on the 21st of October.

I have received confirmation of my order from Nokia by Email and Topcashback has also tracked my order.

Hope this helps some of you.

Any questions, give me a shout.

Hass

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Maybe soon Nokia will announce the N900 is cancelled due to unresolvable issues and you won't have to look at it anymore :)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

And everytime you get on their nerves they will add two weeks to the shipping date for *your* device :p

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

lustig :confused:

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

@mak: Ruf doch einfach bei Nokia.de an und frag Sie ob du noch vorbestellen kannst und trotzdem den ersten Packen bekommst. Dann scheiß einfach auf den anderen Shop da.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

After following the instructions from hass, I placed an order and got a confirmation email from Nokia that included this text:
PS: If anyone is making a purchase using the method described by Hass, please sign up using this referral code:
http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/eiffel

If Hass posts his own referral code, I'll remove this one because Hass is the one who found the discount.

Regards,
Roger

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Oha, Alternate changed release date from October to December:

http://www.alternate.de/html/product...?artno=OC5X1T&

"Neues Produkt. Liefertermin laut Hersteller. Angekündigter Liefertermin: Dezember."

Bye

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Jo, würde ich auch machen. Hatte ja heute bei Nokia angerufen, und die Dame meinte, dass sie genug Geräte für alle Vorbestellungen haben.
Die Frage ist nur, ob du da mehr bezahlen musst (hab mir jetzt nicht deine Seiten angeguckt).
Und probier mal die Discount Codes von Hass, vielleicht funktionieren die ja auch bei Nokia Deutschland...

my english humor sucks. i watch too many movies.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Englisch, bitte...

If you want to speak German, try the Computerbase.de forum or one of the many German mobile phone forums... this is an English-speaking forum. I'm German myself, but I know how annoying it is when people go off discussing the topic in a different language...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Spielverderber... ;-)
nur Spaß...
ok, ich gelobe Besserung...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

I called this morning (to Nokia Spain) and they said me they have been notified It would be by the end of october.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

With that out of the way... I want my N900 :(

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

ich denke nicht das die dicount code von Hass funktionieren soll bei nokia.de aber du kann suchen fur "cashback deutschland" auf google und ich mein das sie sicher ein site soll bekommen wo sie auch cashback hast aber fur deutsche menschen.
In holland haben wir auch cashback aber das ist nur 20 euro und nicht mehr oder so viel als was sie zuruck kriegt bei die UK cashback site.

:p

You could try clicking on his name and sending a PM?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Basically what I've wrote in german was a repetition of my previous post in english...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

When does the raffle start???

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Btw did anybody here already ask when Nokia is gonna ship the N900?
:p

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

not yet, because he said, that the n900 will ship on 20/21 of october, and he's right...

ups, forgot that part ;-)

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Actually he said 19th or 20th... Also, where did you get info that the shipping starts 20th or 21st?

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 

Wow, what a good question! I heard it was some time in October ;)
