I can safely say i will never pre-order anything again, the waiting is hell..............2.5 months waiting and being dissappointed but this mornings "ready for despatch" has made me almost forget all the annoyance and replace it with excitement. Hope the phone isn't an anticlimax when i get it!!!
just thought i'd let you all know, i just cancelled my order as im sick of MPD and dont want to be associated with them. Dont get me wrong, i still REALLY REALLY REALLY want an n900, im just too proud to give them my money. (might move one of you up the que you never know)
i was also cheeky and ask for you guys.. they confirmed to me that many of you will recieve this tomorrow as they will be sent today (just thought i'd ask for you guys)
As I know you in the real world, I will be constantly winding you up with my N900 amazingness when I see you this weekend... :P
Did you manage to cancel by phone okay?
Cheers for the info about shipping today! I can't wait.
More importantly who'd gonna be the first MPD customer receive it first?? Don't have work till 2pm tomorrow and my post comes between 8-10am, but I'm in South Yorks?
Plus who's gonna be the first with mic problems and has to send it back?? Looks like there were loads in the first batch that can't make phone calls. WTF
I never understand people who cancel because they are "too proud".
The problems I have had with companies, if I were that proud I wouldn't own anything. Roughly 99% of businesses are garbage, or at least doing something morally wrong. But its silly to cut off your nose to spite your face, you just have to live with it or go live in a cave away from capitalist society.
well that and the press release from nokia yesterday - only releasing a maemo "computer" on maemo 6 next year..
i dont trust nokia to not dump support for this device as soon as they've filled their orders.
my friend bought an n97, its taken from june until november for a firmware update which has fixed none of the issues with his phone
Nokia also said that they will be focusing on symbian next year, with a completely new UI and structure to surface in Q2 2010.
I wouldnt b suprised if they move the maemo distro into the netbook market like Google has done with chrome and is doing with android.

hey, I'm in South Yorkshire too (Sheffield)! I've gotta work tomorrow but my wife will be at home most of the morning so I'm hoping she'll be there when the postman comes.
Hope that this batch is not the same as the first batch and they don't have the same mic problems
As they are sending them Special Delivery, it shouldn't make any difference where in the country we are - they are all guaranteed Next Day. Its all down to if MPD actually get them in the post today or not.

Thing is, how much "support" do we need? They'll do us some firmware updates which they've already promised and we've got the clever dev community! There's not really that much wrong with it anyway...
N97 - same story as all Nokia mobiles. N95 and N96 were both awful when they started life. They needed multiple firmware updates. My N96 works like a dream now... Its just not MY dream!
Nokia will definitely release a Maemo 6 smartphone/computer next year - they'd fail as a company if they didn't carry on taking the fight to the iphone/smartphone industry...
