Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I still think that whatever Dell is sending Nokia to have orders shipped is not in any sort of order.

Its like they got a big old box, and then put all orders on a little strip of paper and dumped the papers into the box and then gave that box to Nokia. Then Dell says, "Ok Nokia, here's all the orders that we got up until now, " as they give the box a good shake. "Send out N900's to these people as you get them."

I never called or even contacted Dell in any way, I was just patient.

Last night my status changed to shipped, my delivery date was update to read 12/4/09 instead of 12/10/09, but the shipping information was "temporarily unavailable." The order page still says shipping information unavailable, but I have it here in my hands charging.

I was apparently given free overnight shipping via UPS despite not contacting Dell at all. Also, I live in IL just outside St Louis and my n900 shipped from Lebanon, TN.

The ship date was the 3rd, but I'm going to go download the invoice and see when the "purchase" date was to see if I might be eligible for the rebate.
Interesting. My story is just about the same...except that I live in Michigan, and still am not sure if mine has shipped yet (I haven't traveled home from work yet to check.)

well if I don't have it by 12/10 i think i'm going to have to cancel my order. not sure yet if i'll buy somewhere else or what, but either way Dell will lose my business.

Here you go guys I am on the waiting list:
Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Shipped Date: 12/4/2009
Estimated Delivery Date: 12/8/2009 (updated)
Carrier: Data Temporarily Unavailable
Tracking Number: Data Temporarily Unavailable

Wonder why it is delivering on the 8th if its shipped on the 4th with next day delivery

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
i ordered mine from Dell on 11/5 when they had the coupons dropping the price to $442. it was shipped on 11/23, arrived 11/25 despite the fact that i chose the free 3-5 day shipping option. got it on saturday 11/28, when i returned from the thanksgiving break. so Dell isn't bad compared to other retailers selling n900.
to make all of you who have not received their pre-ordered phones yet feel a little better, or not, i had to send my n900 back to Nokia for repair and might not even get it back by 12/10.

Damn that doesn't make me feel better. Sorry man, that's never good. What ended up being wrong with it? Mic?

So, I know I'm a bit late to the party, but is there anyway to score as good of a deal on an N900 these days?

My order was 11/26, It just changed to shipped today. It still reads as deliver before 2/10 though. And no confirmation email to my two subscribed addresses. And I didn't complain. Was just patient.

Dear All,
This is the official deal with the orders in which the November 5th discount was used and most likely any other order where a discount was used. According to Dell, it is directly Nokia's fault. Whenever a company offers a product at a highly discounted rate, it is usually because the manufacturer is giving them a certain quantity of the product at a discounted price so they can turn over the savings to the consumer. This is exactly what happened in the case of the November 5th orders or any other orders where that discount was used. Furthermore, Nokia has assigned only a certain quantity of each batch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) to the orders where the discount was used and the rest of the handsets produced go to people who paid retail for the device. Therefore, even though someone may have placed their order on the 5th, someone can in fact order on the 19th and get their device first, if they paid full price, because the allotment of handsets in the first batch for the discounted orders has been used up. Terrible marketing from Nokia. Thoroughly infuriates me, but this is the truth. Anyone with an issue needs to contact Nokia directly and demand a policy change, as I already have.

No kidding. I got the 100 dollar discount, 50 rebate, 100 bing cash back and discover card discount. I figure I'm down around 340 or so.... not bragging, just grateful. :)

The only positive to waiting longer is to reduce the chance of hitting the 'possible' hardware issues (mic, random reboots) assuming Nokia is fixing the issue now

While I think this is a plausible explanation, I ordered on 11/18 without the big discount, and my phone has not shipped yet.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Looks like Nokia got what they wanted though. If you check nokiausa.com they are sold out. Looks like everyone jumped ship and ordered from them, or ran the two order thing.

Didn't get a chance to call dell today, already closed and won't be able to chat with them until Monday :rolleyes: back to holding pattern.

Yeah.. It was 2/10/2010 to start with.. It should change after the tracking info is updated..

Only One person sent in his/her rebate form. What are the others that have the device waiting for? Oh, OVI store... don't we need to activate the ovi store account via the phone before submitting the rebate? Also, do we need to make copy of the UPC code on the box or just a copy of the receipt is sufficient.

If you or anyone else who ordered early is not eligible for the rebate, I'll sell you my $50 rebate for $20. (If it is inappropriate to mention this again in this thread, please let me know. I posted in the buy and sell a while back, but about the only people that would benefit from my offer are those who ordered early, such as on 5-Nov.)

MountainX - I don't think you're out of line at all, and although I don't need to take you up, thanks for the offer.

Well my 11/5 order shipped yesterday & arrived today & now just checked again & see that my 11/26 order shipped today & is expected Tuesday after having been estimated for Feb 2010. The first one shipped from Addison, IL via UPS explaining the next day delivery to Chicago even though I had 5-7 day while this 2nd order seems to be coming from Memphis TN on Fedex with 3-5 day. To be safe I think I'll do the rebate with the 2nd one & sell the first after making sure it doesn't suffer from the issues mentioned here.
