So, even when I am in the midst of a sort of battle with them ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36958 ) I know that for the moment they have my undivided attention as a customer.

Our issue with the N900 shipping problem is probably due to some incompetent manager somewhere in their ranks. It will get resolved eventually. (I am just trying to help it along.) So, stay positive. There is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

I have to disagree, I've been impressed by the level of incompetence of these two particular companies, especially in regards to their order processing and customer service departments. I agree about Nokia and its open source policies, but its all for naught when they can't deliver on the stinking phone. Hell they can't even seem to address the problems or return a call/email. For the life of me I can't find a person at either company who gives a damn. Beyond the broken promises I've also been lied to on several occasions by both companies, is that the definition of dishonesty?

I've received my delayed shipment notification from Dell. Now I have to wairt until 01/13/10.... WTF??? The cutoff date for the rebate is on the 30th. you do not put a promo on an item you sell if you know that you wont be able to deliver on it... Isn't there a term for that? Oh yeah, I think that is called bait and switch... :(

I ordered on the 12/08... And I've just added my nname to the spreadsheet... Ugh, this situation is so frustrating, if I knew I would not be getting it this year I would have just ordered a e72 or a milestone :mad:

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

yeah, dell screwed everyone over... it's not too late to order from amazon. The biggest complaint i hear from amazon orders are that the estimated date is at most delayed by 1 week, that's nothing compared to dells order queuing system.

i just checked right now, they'll be in stock on the 20th, mine will be here by the 18TH!

AND since the Dell order will end up costing me sub-400 dollars, I'll probably keep it and just give it to my older brother since he put me on to its existence. He's definitely not happy with his N97 (the phone I WAS gonna get).

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

I believe that Dell will have them back in stock soon. I have to think that they need to have them in before the holiday season. By now we have seen sufficient proof that their estimated shipment dates are meaningless. They ship them when they have them, period. (Unfortunately, it appears that each distribution center gets a certain amount and they do not share inventory between distribution centers, but that is another matter.) What I am saying is that I believe that a second round of shipments has to happen very soon. Who will get them? I have no idea.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

rm42 I hope you are right. I thought there would be more stock on the 14th, but there should have been some shipments by now.

If they don't get them out soon, the rebate is going to expire as we sit helplessly waiting

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Possibly good news! Dell has them available online again.

Usually ships 3 to 5 weeks.
