Most people that want an N900 will get one in December. The problems creating conflicting perceptions here:
1. They announced they were shipping when still on the manufacturing floor. Peter even made this comment in the same initial announcement.
2. To try and shut people up and fill the time gap, they shipped a small batch via air to a few markets. Nokia stores and their Dell direct channels got a few hundred each as an example.
3. Most of the sumbiches' are still on a dang boat and based on the lack of channel fill and sell through to consumers, Nokia has been slow with unit velocity.
Pi55 poor launch IMO.

Haven;' read all this... the shipping threads got a bit much for me. But yes, my n900 DID ship today. Now it's stuck in a UPS exception.
