It had never occurred to me that Nokia would be up to this kind of dirty trick. I'm glad I kept an eye on this thread. I had no idea when I first got an email about this program that it was for a phone with virtually no warranty.
Seriously. What are you looking to accomplish here?

Please stop looking for conspiracies when there are none. The DDP price is probably around the break even point (before someone jumps in: the BoM is only part of the total cost of getting the device to developers' hands), and we are only talking about something like 150 units total. Even at full retail price that would hardly amount to a profit worth talking about for a company Nokia's size.

The warranty issue is just the way Forum Nokia works, we just never had to deal with them before so we never knew or cared.

It's still a nice gesture (no self-important sense of entitlement please), whether you take it or leave it is up to you.

This is all we can promise since we clearly can't substitute Nokia Care services.
I have faith. :)

You can't be an evangelist without it. :p

So last thing missing is a date. I could go to a shop 8min from here and buy it now for €600. I'd get full warranty plus a decent German keyboard. If you don't ship this €250-offer today... what am I saying... right now, then you lose me as a customer and you'll have to deal with a loss of the € 350 price diff- oh, wait a minute. I got something wrong here. Doesn't work that way. ;)

I'll get back here when I can think of a more convincing threat. :D

The best date I can give you is "asap" :)

Thanks Quim (the Thanks! button didn't work)

Are you sure? I think N900 is not in the shops yet :D

Best regards,

A friend of mine told me this morning that he saw it there and played with it a bit.

If you need an N900 urgently go and get one urgently. :)

We can't guarantee you any date. The pre-sales devices were distributed among the active developers during the Fremantle pre-releases and the Summit participants. There is high demand for devices and the current priority is to satisfy it.

Could you at least provide a qualifier for "urgently" ?
Is it if I need it today ? This week ? Before Xmas ? Before next summer ?... :-)
