Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
So, I just got a call from the manger who handles my business account ( about time, I asked her to call me over a week ago ) and she stated and I quote,

" Amazon does not have any units in any of it's warehouses, Nokia hasn't even notified our cellular executive team of when we can expect the units nor will they explain why there is a delay. Nokia is basically telling us nothing about when the product will be released or when we'll receive our stock."

She stated this was told to her by her sr.manager this morning at their daily manager business meeting--apparently Amazon is selling so many units, getting so many emails and phone calls everyday from customers asking "when", that upper management is finally telling there subordinates what is actually going on.

Something is going on with the N900 and Nokia obviously doesn't want people to know... I only hope she's wrong because otherwise it may be Jan.2010 when we get our phones.

Those pre-ordering from buy.com, does your credit card gets charged immediately?

According older posts in this thread: yes, buy.com charges credit cards immediately.

Now that seems like the most likely description of what is going on. It seems really improbable that Amazon would be shipping anything this week while we still do not have an estimated ship date on all our pre-orders.

just make sure not to click their 10% off coupon when you preorder (seems to be how tthird parties charge peeps 12$ a month)

Just called buy.com (Phone: 1-800-800-0800) and was told they do not know when the phone will be available at their stock. Plus they told me my credit card won't be charged if I pre-order from them.

Seriously, I think nothing happens with the N900 itself. There are now people using it for some time, and the NDAs seem to have expired. There's also some people that have used it on Nokia World 09 without signing any NDA and nobody seem to have noticed anything.

Said that, the only explication I could think of is because some operators are suspicious about letting N900 work on their networks. If Nokia solds you a device like this for 600€ and your operator doesn't let you connect to their 3G network, it would be a *HUGE FAIL* for Nokia.

Hmm, I wonder if the delay is to bring the N900 into line with the launch of Project Black.

Doubtful, otherwise every unlocked phone ever made by every cell company would probably get delayed so they could make sure they had the 'approval' of the networks that the phone 'might' be operating on.

I used my E90 on both AT&T and now T-Mobile, and I'm sure Nokia never asked them for permission. The service providers need the cell companies, otherwise it's just a name neither products or service.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
according to the help link on buy.com:

"Note: if you do not see a cancel button, your order is being prepared for shipment and may no longer be cancelled by you or our customer service department."

I do not see a cancel button anymore and just notice that today....?

Gave me an option to cancel every day for the past 4 weeks to cancel it (yes I literally looked up my order everyday since im obsessed) so it might be a sign :p

They are waiting for htc, apple, rim and even moto take more of their market share. Mugs - the lot of them at Nokia.

Well, I think everybody meets with the though N900 is not "another" phone, in the sense that it works more like a computer than like a phone, has skype integrated and some other things like flash no other phones have had before. Also, there are some rumours there are operators rejecting to sell N900. But I think, even if all operators finally agree on letting N900 working on their networks, Nokia may want to have everything tied up before releasing the device.

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?
 
This release seems no different to any other Nokia launch to me. There's always a period of weeks where nobody knows what's going on.

When the N82 "launched" I couldn't find it for sale anywhere! The launch date went right past and Nokia said it was launched but I couldn't find it anywhere except ebay. In the end that's where I had to get it because despite being released in October it wasn't for sale in Europe until late December/January.

It's just another one of these things Nokia does poorly. Perhaps if we understand how the organisation operates we'd know why it has to be this what but from the outside it's annoying.

Could be, but the latest scuttlebutt in T-mo rumorland is that the n97 mini would be subsidized by T-mobile USA, not the n900.

http://www.tmotoday.com/blogs/willia...-your-troubles


Whether or not the rumor is true, personally, I think that the n97 mini would make more sense for T-mobile to subsidize as a flagship device. I love Maemo, but I'm not sure that T-mobile would (allegedly) showcase as it's knight in shining armor an expensive device that isn't even marketed as a phone, when there are some safer choices out there.

It's wireless. Using the accelerometer ( you'll notice as he moves the phone the image moves along with it ), and I'm assuming either Bluetooth or infrared for it's connection.

Holy ****, that comes out to only $503.64 USD. Might have to get my buddy who lives in Scotland to pick one up for me ( even with shipping it's still cheaper ). Also importing products from England to the US won't get import tax on it as long as the value is below $800 USD.
