This thread starts to be boring.

So as another week draws to a close without our N900s being shipped its time once again to ask ourselves "What have we learned?"

For myself ....

I learned that Nokia QA is done entirely in the nude.
That throughout the ages famous people have known and loved the N900 in all its shapes and forms.
That the ship date for the N900 could be anywhere between next week and next year.
That occasionally people need punching in the cock.

What is certain is that we all take something from this thread and the almost religious routine of "Refresh,read,post" has become the new mantra.

Here Endeth The Lesson for 10/16/2009.

(NOT typed from my N900)

That's the only way to really put the a__ in assurance.

This seems like such a good idea, that at noon I fired all my male employees. At 5pm, all the people left(female) were advised of our new QA policy starting Monday.

Does that mean we get a 48h break from this thread? :P

You know what, I do not even care when this phone comes out now. Just STOP PRE-AUTHING MY CARD. This is causing me, and I am sure others, some annoyance now that they have managed to trip the fraud detection which disables my card and causes me to call in to get it fixed because I missed a phone call.

Most companies can get this right, Nokia should too. Auth/Charge the card when the thing is shipping, not every two weeks until the end of the year.

I recall the same rigmarole going on just recently with the Nokia N97 and Brightpoint. For the record nothing has been done to my card by Amazon.com so far but I think Buy.com does what Brightpoint does, also.
