No offence, but I think most of you guys are angry and pissed because of your own stupidity!
Nokia has announced that they began shipping on 10th and I`m sure they are! It is not Nokias job to teach you about logistics or business... it`s your teachers job at school. If you don`t boder yourself to learn how logistics and shipping works in such a big company then don`t boder yourself beeing angry also. Learn their business model instead. Belive me, after they ship from factory, it is out of their hands and all they can do is estimate. And they did saying at the end of November. Do you guys imagine how many shipping company`s, warehouses, wholesalers and resellers are between you and Nokia? Do you imagine from how many variables shipping process is consisting and how they can affect delivery date? Especially if you are shipping from such a 3rd country like Korea! I work as a Sales manager and Logistician in a mid size company and I can tell you it is a real pain in the a*rse to ship from a 3rd country! If you would know it you wouldn`t ask here why Nokia does not give a exact date!
As some of you here have mentioned that usually Nokias shipping is taking 10-14 days. Based on that I would say they are shipping by air. Because it is no way you can ship it by boat so quickly from Korea! By boat it will take at least one month to deliver. In my opinion they are using combined shipping method: for their own e-shops and selected resellers it is by air and for others it is by boat. I would do so. You can say what you want here, but shipping by air is signiffically more expensive than by sea. Been there done that! As a matter of fact it can be twice as expensive! Considering that I believe all the dates said by resellers are right. Those who get them by air are getting it in November and those stating December or January, are getting it by boat.

Peace!

PS! Forgive me my English spelling. It is not my native language (altough i use it every day )
When you said Korea is a 3rd Country, I hope you don't mean 3rd world country. If you do, I suggest you should go "boder" your teachers from school again. And I definitely hope you didn't come to that conclusion because it's an Asian country.

Anyway, I would like to apologize for being offensive if you didn't mean that Korea is a 3rd world country.

Nokia can certainly try to do business that way and it appears they are but if they continue this way you can look forward to buying the "Nokia range" of phones from HTC in a few years.

Yes it will....

You know what will hurry it up even more--adding uber tags to this thread!

I don't have a clue about 'shipping' but surely after a week somebody should have answers to what point we are at in getting our hands on the n900?

Just saw that as well. So what about us pre-orderers. Nokia is truly in disarray. Totally upside down. If only they had decent management ?

Amazon says after the 25th of december. This is ridiculous, is there someone else that has a confirmed shipping date from another retailer?

Only consolation I have is I got it for £350 on what Nokia calls 'preorder' even if its yet to ship and will not get to me by Thursday.
My advice to would be buyers is hold off and get it cheaper from play.com - that'll teach em
