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

Anyone located in US received your device yet? I'm curious how the US customs works in this case, and if there is any duty to be paid...

Anyone located outside EU countries, did you have problems with customs? Was there any invoice attached with the package showing the "value for customs only"? How much was it?

My order has not yet shipped. If I hear any horror stories... maybe I still have time to cancel my order... ;)

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

Did any of you who already got the device from eStore suffer any reboots yet?

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

So far so good <touches wood>

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

The good thing is that they use "DHL Midday express delivery before 12:00" for sending so it is really next day.

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

Which firmware they are running? Latest publicly available?

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

1.2009.42-11 is installed on mine

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

When did you order? I ordered November 15th no shipping confirmation yet. :(

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

I'm thinkin' a lot of the reported reboots may be phone related. There could be two lifeguard systems involved with the N900. The one we are all familiar with from the previous tablets and one involving the phone radios.
Bad info to and from the connecting tower has caused frequent, multible boots in other new to the network phones I have tested.

OT, but on my mind non the less... The first thing I would do if I experience this is to pull the SIM and disable all network connections to see if it happens then.

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

sachin, please read the post you were quoting, it was written in there :-)

I ordered on Nov. 9th, same day as debernardis, probably a few hours later. He got his mail yesterday, I got mine today, exactly a month later.

If DDP is going through the list in FIFO mode, your turn should come soon...

edit: tracking says it left Helsinki at 9:30pm tonight, so it's on its way West, hopefully...

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

Mine left @ 9:29 :p

But loading is often FILO so your's may be on N/American soil before mine. :(

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

I would like to know from any North Americans (especially Canadians) what the price for customs is stated as on the box.

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

It's here... delivered 9am... I just *knew* I was going to be late to work today !

Luckily there's a partial strike on in Paris public tranport so nobody will notice :-)

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

Funny ... mine was delivered yesterday afternoon : direct Helsinki -> Nantes -> La Rochelle :)
It's still quite hard to get some work done ...

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

Did you get an invoice with yours ? I didn't see any...

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

no I suppose we'll have to get it from the estore ... ?

Edit : yes you can get a receipt from the My Account page of the estore

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

Ah, yes, perhaps :-)

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

Sent yesterday. It went to Germany, Belgium, Netherlands in a night and delivered this morning. Ofcourse, I have a lot positive to say too, but... I have a dead pixel... so I rather not use the device now because it pisses me off, and I will be without phone... because I must return my Nokia E71 before 13 december 2009 (RMA, keyboard malfunction)... :(

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

I have tracked the package on the DHL page this morning. Now it says delivered. :)
Wow, this was quick from Helsinki to Bavaria. Can't wait to get home.

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

Mine has entered N/America this morning...

December 10, 2009 06:39
New York City-Gateway, NY - USA

It's going to be tired when it gets here. It had a long night...

Helsinki - Finland > Leipzig - Germany > East Midlands - UK and now NYC...

I hope it took pictures of its travels to share :D

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

I hope you don't send me an email at some point in the future because of this. :/

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

Mine was shipped today. :) I believe I'm one of the last ones to place order (11/27), so everyone who did order this should have received your shipment notice,

YoDude: I wish you luck the package doesn't get stuck in NYC customs.

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

:confused:

What do you mean? I already contacted Nora...

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

Hehe. I ordered on 4 Dec. My N900 shipped today, and I've received a tracking number.

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

No tracking number here. :\ Looks like if it's going to ship it'll do so in time for me to leave for the holidays.

Thanks, DDP! :rolleyes:

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

And told her that you're using the device to develop an application that has some critical functionality at exactly that position on the screen.

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

Is it possible for me to get a developer device? I don't have much comments/karma here but the posts I have made have been quite techincal and I'm also a VIP member on the Nokia discussions website.

Also I do have programming experience and a masters in Computer Science.

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

Have you developed or are you maintaining any applications for Maemo?

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

I meant exactly that. :) Good that you contacted the DDP

rash.m24 and other developers in a similar situation:

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

Got mine. Well, a couple of hours ago. I haven't opened the DHL parcel yet, got other things to do first.

The DHL tracking was weird, according to the tracker it was shipped to an entirely different city, 1000 km away. There's a perfectly good DHL office here, so that looked strange. I got quite worried when I saw that it had been signed off as received, and was about to find some way to contact DHL when it suddenly showed up here. Oh well, it's here. At some point I will unpack it, charge it, and start to check it over for any problems.

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

For the sake of Quim's blood pressure, please make that "some point" well within a week.

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

Oh, I don't want to impede on anyone's health, so I'm charging it right now. Have been looking for a case to use, because it feels about as slick as my office phone, which keeps slipping out of my hand and pockets all the time (unlike my older phone with a rubber-like exterior). Was looking at this one: http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page....00&skuno=85902 (someone posted a link earlier), unfortunately shipping will be more than twice the value of the case and thus suddenly expensive and way above the price point where taxes and VAT hits.

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

Wohooo i got the shipping confirmation. Anyone in north america tell me how long it takes to get here and do i need to pay any customs?

Thanks

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

I suspect we'll all be discovering the answers to those questions at about the same time.

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

I just got the device and opened the box. It's charging now. The mic seems fine.

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

Got my N900 today. Unfortunatly it has an area of pixels which are permanently on. I already emailed to DDP. Hope there is a good way to exchange the device. But beside this the N900 ist really fun!
I hope we don't have to accept dead or permanently on pixels because it's a developers device. The pixels are well viewable and it's really annoying on dark backgrounds.

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

I ordered yesterday evening,received shipping notice and tracking number today and i expect that it arrives tomorrow. :)

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

We have a winner!

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

I ordered on 12/8, in less than 48 hr, the package already left Helsinki-Finland....kind of wondering why there are 700+ postings :rolleyes:

Hopefully a newer version of WorldTV99 is coming... :-)

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

The best piece of information that can be found in this whole long thread. :)

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

Its been in the New York City-Gateway for almost 12 hours. :(

I hope it's not just sitting on a bench in the Port Authority or something. I mean we've all heard the horror stories:

Young and attractive phone from a small town like Keilaniemi hits the bright lights of NYC and is confused and feels alone. A stranger picks it up, buys it a sexy screen protector and the next thing you know he turns out the phone and it's on the streets doing connection "tricks" for a dollar a KB...

:eek:
