Alt + printscreen on Windows takes a screenshot and puts it in your clipboard. Paste it into Photoshop or Paint.

Yeah, still waiting for a tracking number as well. I'm thinking it will be updated late tonight.

Newegg might have charged everyone's cards so they can get everything ready to ship out the door the moment the 30th arrives (if Nokia prohibited them from releasing before the 30th).

OK, here' s the deal with NewEgg, as far as I can figure out...well, first let me say that over the last few years I've bought a few thousand dollars of stuff from NewEgg and always gotten excellent service, no problems at all.

Anyway, supposedly their 1st shipment was 700 units. That has all been sold of course, but actually shipped? - who knows. They are waiting for another shipment now, should arrive "soon". Since I wasted months on a failed attempt to get one from NokiaUSA, I didn't get my pre-order in witth NewEgg early enough so I'll have to wait to get mine from NewEgg's 2nd batch.
Edit: As of now, my order is still "Hold" and my card has not been charged.

I noticed earlier today the N900 was "Deactivated" on NewEgg, got worried and called customer service. No problem, I WILL get the phone, from the 2nd shipment. And it's available again on their website, BUT...when I pre-ordered mine it was $559, limit 20 per customer. Later, it was 5 per customer. Now, it's 1 per customer, and at Nokia's list price of $649.

Must quite the in-demand item. I've never seen this kinda thing from NewEgg before.

When did you pre-order from them that you now have to wait for the second batch?

Nov 13th. I don't blame NewEgg. I pre-ordered from NokiaUSA Sept 4th and they totally botched that, resulting in the late pre-order at NewEgg. So I just didn't mke it in time for one of the 1st 700.

Similar deal here - I switched to Newegg 11/6 however - I hope that gets me into the first batch. This is getting beyond old.

We know that's BS on their part. Mine was in on 10/21 and others have got their status changed and updated who came well after me. Most of their products they don't have to worry about this much contention on the part of buyers with forums devoted to up the second updates. So therefore their first come, first serve "LIE" will suffice. Nobody is the wiser. I think we've found a fly in that ointment.

Here is a screenshot of my order today from Newegg showing shipping

According to Newegg's policy page, once an item is actually marked as "shipped"(as this is in the upper box in the order screen), it's actually out for shipping. Not "preparing" or anything like that. So, hopefully, I will have this item Friday sometime! Yay!

I have no idea why Newegg is pickin' on you, delaying yours over others. Got an in-law working there you ticked off?

All I can say is I've always gotten fast service from Newegg, and the whole missed-the-1st-batch explanation makes common sense to me. I ain't mad at nobody but NokiaUSA/Brightpoint. That's who jerked my chain...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 
yeah this is really frustrating... i've been following all this bs for a while and i've never seen anything like it. I preordered from newegg on 11/7. i got impatient and even tried to order from nokiausa, but they totally ****ed up and i got the authorization failed thing, and they still charged my card, twice. now i'm just waiting on my newegg preorder, which is still on hold. i cant believe that they are actually processing recent orders before preorders though, thats just nonsense. but it looks like they are...
