People who pre-ordered are getting screwed ten ways to Sunday on this whole fiasco. This is ridiculous.

Yep - its a goddamn debacle alright. Never seen a release run this way in my many years of smartphone buying

Okay, now it's changed from "Preorder" to "Back Order". So I guess I'll be sitting here with my hands underneath my *** until Friday. :D

Ok, Fedex tried to deliver the nokia while I was out. I may end up missing this thing as they try to deliver again while I'm out of town. Maybe it's for the best though. I don't want to be dealing with a phone that could potentially be a lemon.

Peter probably called them up and put the Kibosh on their little Black Friday sales plans. I would not doubt this for i milli second.

Just got off the phone with a customer service representative at Amazon's cell phone department. At first she insisted that the phone has not been released and that they don't show anything in stock. I politely pointed her to the fact that it was selling on a number of places, and that even Amazon had sold a few units.

Finally, she said she would put me on hold and contact Nokia to see whether the phone had been released. After a few minutes she got back with a slightly different tone.

She now conceded that the phones are sitting in Amazon's warehouse but said that they cannot start shipping them until they receive the release notice from Nokia. She also said that when she spoke to Nokia they said that the phone would not be released until November 30 (which makes sense, considering Newegg's dates). She confirmed that once Amazon would get the release they would start shipping.

She did not know (or at least she didn't say) how many units they have in stock vs. how many outstanding preorders they have. She did say that they were surprised by the volume of preorders.

I guess that's five more days. If nothing happens by Dec. 1 I'm out of here.

So it is Nokia..who screwed up this whole damm delaying. Why the hell they do that..greedy bastards!! As if the phone have not been delaying enough...they ONCE AGAIN want to delay from the retailers...totally uncall for and they have the gut to make the announcement today that they're delaying the sale a week later due to high volume. What the hell this has to do with delaying? You got a bunch of N900 sitting at the warehouse @Amazon...why not ship them. I mean if they're out of supply, then i can understand, but the fact is they're just sitting there because Nokia didn't let them SELL YET!! Totally bullshyt. The reason behind this is greedy bastard like NokiaUSA.com want to sell as many as possible @ a higher price.
