Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

well iam gonna give it till end of today. If still nothing, then i will cancel my pre-order with them and just buy it direct from nokia.

p.s ^^^ by buy it, i mean Pre-order it :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

The guy who pre-ordered the N900 in the US on my behalf, just canceled it with Newegge after he said he heard nothing from them :confused: I mean just when i felt things couldn't go any worse for me :S now If i pre-order i would have to join the back line. sigh! .. am really starting to think its really not worth it. I can always get the phone when its really out anyway. As this fiasco drag on more and more, am tempted to seek alternatives which i can use as stop gap till the phone is generally available (maybe in February ) right now am considering the N97 mini or the iPhone 3gs

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I had a play around with the N97 mini (dummy) in the shop yesterday. Seems ok but no lens cover and the camera is 3.2MP so just not good enough for me. That Satio looks good, especially as that was originally my alternative to replace the N82... gonna look for some reviews.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

somebody ring mobilephonesdirect

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

The N97 and N97mini both have a 5MP camera!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

N97 Mini has 5MP. But its screen is 3.2" instead of 3.5" on its big brother...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

You're right, I had a look at every brand's phone in Carphone Warehouse yesterday, apart from Apple.

Still, any cameraphone without a lens cover does not have a chance of getting my custom.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

the more you guys cancel the pre-orders the better for the guys that kept them...

damn, i wish finns would be as impatient as the north americans... n900 would be on my hands already...

i will cancel in nokia and buy from amazon...
[15 mins later] i will cancel amazon and buy from newegg...
[2 days later] omfg lol roftl .. etc... ill cancel newegg and buy from nokia

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Oh thanks for that. The N900 is looking more and more like a Febuary next year device for me, from the look of things. the ship date keep getting pushed back and back... so i might just get a phone to stop gap.. How was the performance of the N97 mini you tried.? heard the n97 is sluggish and unstable :(

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Go on then. Cant you? There live chat is off again :)

Who was that went into MDP in Southampton yesterday?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Seriously,
I am impatient but you lot are crazy.
N900s have started shipping they will be in our hands once they have got to the distributors and our retailers.
This process takes 10-15 days and always has done.
Just wait a few days.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

err what.
The phone was announced as delayed a little.
Nokia then announced shipping on the 9th.
Retailers generally get the phone 2 weeks after shipping.

Please tell me how anything gets kept on getting pushed back.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Just ending a webchat with MPD, will paste the conversation here when it's done...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!

Interesting article. Talks about how sales of the Droid have beat expectations in the states. I pre-ordered Sept. 30th here in Germany. If it looks like I won't be getting my N900 until 2010, I might start seeing what all the hype is about with the Droid.

A question, when was the Droid announced and how long did it take from the announcement to it actually hitting retail stores for consumers to buy? Interested in the difference with Nokia and the N900.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Another review…

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hallo,

According to an email I've recieved yesterday from the Nokia Online shop (the Netherlands) will my pre-ordered should be delivered in the next 2 weeks. So the long wait may be almost over for me. :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

And guess what that seems like the same as here in Sweden!!! Week 49. Still patiently waiting.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Nice one, Now let me tell you about my frustration.

When the Nokia N900 was announced, I figured it was just what i wanted. hence i pre-ordered it from Amazon sometimes around September. ( I Don't live in the US and i had to get a close friend to pre-order on my behalf so i sent money to re-emboss him ) later when Newegg came with a lower price i informed my friend to cancel with amazon and order with newegg instead. later the shipment was pushed back to November. fair enough i can still get my product before xmas. has it stands now. all major retailers are now saying early December, or even January. Sure am not saying Nokia is responsible for this. but for Christ sake I pre-ordered the N900 even before the Droid, and HTC HD2 was announced and those devices are already out. yet i still don't know when i will get my N900. as it stands the most realistic date is January. 5 month after i pre-ordered the device*** am starting to think .. is it really worth it this pre-order business because all it does it just get you hyped up for nothing.. I could has well just use something now and wait for the device to really be out. then i can purchase it. And yeah i stand by my point that the who N900 release/shipment, pre-order business is a fiasco .. from a consumer's point of view. Who is responsible for this fiasco is a moot point. No body should have to pre-order a $500+ device and have to wait for 5 month before it is delivered.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I hope it for you
i don't trust the nokia support any more.

mine should ship on 25.11 hopefully :/

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

FULL ACK
ah, without any information too!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

That is very bad news if true..
I've ordered from MPD

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Sure is my PAC will have expired by then and my current contract with T Mobile will be terminated. :mad:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Nokia STINK!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

You should be OK as the PAC will just become out of date and your contract with T Mobile will continue as they still 'own' that number. My PAC from vodafone ran out at the end of last week but my xperia is still functioning OK, i am not sure when to request a new PAC as i have no idea when the device will finally arrive. I keep thinking that if i get a new PAC it will definetley arrive within 30 days but then i get that nagging doubt that it will still be delayed.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Oh this is ridiculous. Thanks for posting that though. There's no webchat up again now though and I still don't have an answer from them from the form I filled in yesterday.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I just requested a new PAC yesterday. MPD had told me to request a new one as soon as possible- but when I rang Virgin, they told me that information was incorrect and that I needed to wait until the day it ran out, then call them and ask them to generate a new one on the day. Turned out that was right. I called Virgin yesterday and they texted me my new PAC at the end of the day.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i can't believe my eyes :D

this is far above religional fanatism :D

get a grip people, i cant put you all on ignore...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

It was only a dummy, so no running software at all. It seemed a nice size, and the one thing I hate about slides - it kept making me want to slide it up and back down again (part of the reason I waited for the N82 rather than jumping on the N95 like everyone else).

I won't cancel my pre-order..after all if I got something else I could sell the N900 if the other one turned out well... I'll probably be patient and look at buying a new monitor in the meantime as well as looking at reviews of monitors. I saw a video someone linked to for the HTC HD2... it looks seriously impressive, but no lens cover counts me out.. as well as an unreasonable aversion on having Windows on a phone, despite never having used Windows Mobile.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

He'd ordered from his friend in the US and it's been cancelled. For him it will take even longer than most to get the phone so February is not an unlikely date in his situation.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Luckily my PAC with O2 is valid until 10th Dec. But interestingly they have told me (and it says in my PAC text msg i think!) that if the PAC isn't sed by then, my contract will continue to roll on. So presumably T-Mobile wold be similar if not the same, might be worth checkign with them.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I haven't seen webchat up for days. Hate to be sceptical but how did that person manage to get that update via webchat? Unless he's secretly a MPD employee trickling information through to us by informal means, annoyed by the lack of official communication from his superiors.. The plot thickens, but the truth is out there...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

So you think I'm stupid for whining about a product that I have paid for , but not gotten when promissed ?

While you , on the other hand, are smart ,clever and intelligent for complaining of my whining, in a thread where you have no business being in the first place , if not because you too are displeased by the same wait ?

Hmmm..

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

hey I understand, for the older members of this forum these threads must seem incredibly trivial and annoying. But please bear with us...the reason we're speculating so much is that we can't really contribute anything to the forum until we actually have a damn device in our hands.

Trust me, I want to be an active member of the Maemo community, I want to contribute to all the other threads, I want to report bugs, make suggestions, contribute tips/tricks, recommend applications etc Once I have the device I will most definitely do that, but that's just not possible right now. Once people start getting the N900 in their hands I am sure this hysteria will die down and these forums will have a much better noise to signal ratio.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

maybe you should direct your whining to the supplier of your phone?
the web chat is up now BTW...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Thing I don't get about the delay??

Nokia have announced that they are shipping - so where is the delay happening?
Not sure what to believe now...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I called nokia call center here in Finland and they said the phone will be shipping (at least in Finland) next week, week 48. I asked the day and the guy didnt know.

And somewhere I saw that week 48 would be actually the REAL time the phones would start shipping. So right on time.

What just amazes me is the speculation in this forum... I really dont believe that all this people talking about "dates" actually had any contact with a sales person.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

it is actually up now and I did geta person but the chat went off and now I'm getting a message each time that it can't connect- either they have problems or they read the word N900 and closed me down.
