Yes, it was shipped and order page lists it as shipped with DHL and tracking number is provided. Same informations were also sent to me by mails - one from Nokia Forum stating that device was shipped and second from DDP with information about DHL package and link to tracking.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I'ts good to hear that they're shipping, and I'm excited for all of you. You probably deserve it and I hope it serves its purpose well. But I'm still on the fence because of the warranty issue. And only that issue.

I agree with geneven. We're talking about 200 devices at the most; possibly more like 50. It would cost Nokia close to nothing to give the DDP a proper warranty.

I too think qgil is a stand-up guy, but "take it or live it" or informal promises should only apply to auction sites and/or 3rd-party free software, not new hardware purchases, regardless of the program. Or maybe unconsciously the Nokia higher-ups just want to see which of us are real fan boys and girls, but I thought we already demonstrated that? Well, I'm not sure if I am or not. I thought I was, but thankfully I won't have to wait much longer to find out!

I can understand being wary of the warranty situation. I fully believe in Quim, and that he'll do his best to make it right. But it may be out of his control, depending on the exact circumstances.

What I really wish is that T-Mobile USA was going to carry it. I'd put it on the 20 month installment program in a heart beat.

Just got device from DHL courier. What is inside:

- N900
- battery
- nokia charger (thick or thin) -> microusb adapter (CA-146C)
- nokia charger with microusb connector (AC-10E) 1200mA
- usb->microusb cable (CA-101)
- audio/video out cable (CA-75U)
- wired headset (WH-205)

What surprised me was lack of printed user guide but I think that this is due to 'we recycle' slogan on a box so will dig for PDF on device.

And box does not have any 'not for resale' texts which Quim told that will be.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

The printed guide is in there - it's black and lying at the bottom of the black box so you might not see it first time! :)

Bit of a shame the USB charger is a US 2-pin affair - will have to buy myself a UK replacement (not complaining really) or maybe a shaving adapter. Then again I've got a few spare Nokia 2mm chargers so could use one of those and the handy adapter.

Hopefully these DDP devices don't suffer from the reboot problem (assuming it's a hardware related issue) - I'm not putting any new software on the device for the first few days until I've confirmed it's a keeper and everything is in working order!

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Muchas gracias - it was really there.

I got normal European charger.

I must have ordered a few hours later than debernardis on 11/9 : my confirmation email and tracking # arrived just before noon today.

Next challenge, DHL -- fond memories from N810 days :-)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I just received a shipping confirmation. Now I just have to wait. :)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Yup... Me too. :)

Yippie... soup for me!

Maybe we're ready now.
I'm looking forward to the contributions that I'm sure will come. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...rinking-43.gif

"Dear X Y,

Weeho! A device I will actually OWN :-)
