Did you watch last weeks' Diggnation? The N900 makes an appearance - granted the whole thing is sponsored by the Nokia, nonetheless cool to see it being hyped up, of course they (Kevin Rose, etc) wanted to give away a N900 but lamented that it wasn't available yet. LOL.

Good luck with that, but i hardly foresee any succes for you. It's simply not a good news story, so not worthwhile for them

I think now is a bit late. It's 99% certain the largest Finnish online store will be delivering preorders on Friday, and rumor has it that the Helsinki flagship store even managed to stock extra devices today (probably sold out by now, though).
OK, so we're a small market, but it started shipping in the US even earlier AFAIK.

I was thinking that we might try asking tech sites (Engadget, Gizmodo, techcrunch, etc...) to see if they can look into the obviously serious supply issues facing the N900 launch. Obviously amazon and others have no interest in answering us, but perhaps they'll be more forthcoming with them? In case anyone wants to give it a shot, here's some contact pages:
Engadget
http://www.engadget.com/contact/comments
Gizmodo:
Email tips@gizmodo.com
Techcrunch:
tips@techcrunch.com
Maybe it won't help at all, but it at least it gives us a way to ask with a bigger voice than our own. Be polite and inquisitive when asking these guys obviously, they're tech bloggers and to them this problem isn't personal it's just a potential story.
