This is the week, I feel it... I sense odd waves in the Force...

Is it odd like Nokia loses all our financial data to a hacker. Or odd as in we get our n900's shipped with all their pixels and mics that work? ;)

We are really sorry, we are trying our best.

Today's reply to my (maybe not so polite) mail.

I have to admit that I stopped caring will it be next week or month.

Until Qt4 Maemo5 packages get Phonon::SeekSlider fixed my app will not be so usable as it is on desktop anyway. And I need to change UI.

Next week for N900 = Two months for Pandora.

Hmm, I guess it is still plenty of time for 'who will ship first' bet then :-)

Seriously. What are you looking to accomplish here?

Sorry for not responding to your comment. I didn't see it till just now.

I am trying to express my reaction when I suddenly find that this supposed good deal turns out to be a bad deal.

Buying a phone/tablet that will turn into an expensive paperweight if a defect becomes apparent after you have it for more than a week? It sounds like a very good deal for Nokia and a very bad deal for any consumer.

I was naively pleased when I received this offer, because I thought that Nokia was actually making the N900 more affordable
for some of us. I changed my plans and decided to buy an N900. I assumed there would be a decent warranty, of course.

Then to find out that there is not a decent warranty was very disillusioning. I of course changed my plans.

Sadly, it seems that N900 won't arrive before Barcelona Long Weekend :(
