WelI could be teasing and say that as they were Americans on the phone then maybe they got confused with out Postal code? LOL.

Seem like posts are still moving so they are working through in some weird order known only to themselves (Possibly the order that the carrier pidgeons arrive?).

I expect that the emails go when the packs are loaded onto thepallets and then they all go out to UPS. I suspect it might be depot order that they are dispatched in.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

I'mm confused, I just called up Amazon and asked her if they honor the price match guarantee for the n900 and she said that they don't ant the only way that I would receive the new price is by canceleing and reordering.

She then said that They have over 10,000 in stock at this moment and are just waiting for the item to be released, so I would receive it on the same date if I canceled. She told me she could not change the price in my account and that the people who got theirs changed were being promised things they weren't supposed to. :confused:

Nokia US is probably covering their butts with a little smoke.

Added:

I also suggest all of the price reductions we are seeing is to offset orders from being canceled. Prices usually do not drop on a new device before launch. They tend to stay closer to retail for the first six months of launch- mainly due to supply issues, since if a success, manufacturers ramp production up then. They are more cautious at launch until they understand the actual SELL TROUGH demand.

The current delay is probably more due to Nokia's poor operational structure to execute a smooth launch rather than huge global demand.

It's probably because they (Nokia management) thought this was just going to be the same as all the rest of the tablets a geek toy but a little bit better, then they started getting hit with the hard reality of how much people liked it and all their low volume plans and any executiives thinking in low volume terms had to be brought around to see the light and it just took a while to get all the ducks ligned up in a row.

I bet you that is what happened. They just totally underestimated the volume of demand and it took a while for them to switch gears and start realizing it is a star product.
Have you ever been in that situation in a company where the executives think they know what they are talking about but they totally don't and they completely screw up your job because they characterize what you are doing as low priority or unimportant?

Then when they finally realize what you got your hands on is important they go into the completely opposite direction and start making a big deal out of it and slow you down with extra unnecessary orders and conditions.
I don't know, I'm just guessing that is what happened here.

If this is accurate, then perhaps Amazon is waiting until the 30th, just as NewEgg?

Hmm, they have 10,000 in stock and if you cancel and rebuy it now you can still get it (that's good to know that means I may get my n900 from Amazon even though I only re-ordered on the 20th). Though I'm surprised that they only have less then 10,000 pre-orders at the moment. Something smells fishy about that..

But if you look at their pre-order guarantee it says nothing about electronics. So officially their policy doesn't apply to electronics. CSR may be bending the rules (but that's for each individual) or if the problem is bad (e.g. they are losing customers) they may bend the rule. But officially their policy is nope, they don't do it.

I guess you can keep trying till you find the lucky CSR.
