I called a few Best Buys in my area last night (Atlanta metro), and only one store showed them in inventory ready for local store distribution. Just to be sure I called two more. The other two stores showed that the item had been deleted from their inventory. Sure enough if you go to Best Buy's site and search for it, the results come back with nothing.

People are expressing their anger on twitter as well, on blogs, in forum comments everywhere. There is nothing unusual about the discourse here it's a reflection of what people are saying about the product.

If, like me, you want Nokia to survive as a competitor to Android and the iPhone you should be asking why Nokia cannot do this one simple thing rather than why people should just shut up about it.

Imagine how many posts simply wouldn't exist if after the summit where they handed out 300 units Nokia issued a press release saying "We don't expect the N900 to be available at retail until November 25th" (or whenever). That's a full 5 or 6 weeks in which people would be talking about how they're looking forward to the product coming out instead of "What's happening? Where is it? What did newegg say today? Who wants to ring MPD?".

Please read carefully the first rows of the nokia press release

Espoo, Finland - The shipments of the Nokia N900, Nokia's latest mobile computer based on open source Maemo 5 software, have now started. The Nokia N900 will be available in retail stores in November with an estimated retail price of EUR 500, excluding sales taxes and subsidies.
The title is misleading, but the content is clear: the device ships in november, so until 1st of december they are not late.

The preorder payment came as a surprise to me , thats apparently the way elkjop does it. If that makes me stupid so be it.

Of course I could cancel and get a refound , but as we have established earlier , everybody wants this phone, so why bother.

Given the fact it has been one week since the press release and nobody has recieved their device yet and that Nokia Czech states 27th as the shipping/retail date. It's in 10days, makes sense to me imho.

Jesus just because something doesn't bother you then no-one else can have a view of it. And the in comes the abuse and swearing, very articulate... if you're a so called self proclaimed Maemo Greeter then the OS is in a bad way if that's your idea of open source collaboration.

Finally, who is more stupid the person who moans about something, or the person who wades through what has obviously become a moaning thread in which every post annoys him... are you the sort that smashes up your telly when something you don't like is on... just let people speak and if you don't like it don't read it or maybe try a different thread.

Hello maemo.org - noob here.

I too have been waiting for the n900 with growing impatience. I do sympathise with the people who are getting frustrated with waiting for this device due to the inconsistency in information from Nokia themselves.

When i visited the flagship store in London a couple of weeks ago I was able to have a quick play with the only n900 they had in store, and loved it immediately. ( The camera is amazing for a start! ) The first member of staff i asked about a release date told me January 2010!

The second member of staff told me 16th of November.

I think its this kind of differentiation in information that seems unprofessional and misleading and inevitably makes people lose faith in what are a huge, well established company. They are certainly well established enough to be able to roll out a product with less drama than has concerned the n900.

It makes one wonder if its all part of the marketing strategy..? Create some mystery, get the forums buzzing, create some kind of must-have fever that ends up being less about the device and more about the hype.

That does nothing for me. I want DATES. Solid DATES, so I can not be checking this and other forums every 5 minutes. That is obviously a choice I have, and if Im stupid enough to be wasting my life in this way ( which I definitely am! ) then I probably deserve the frustration that comes with that. However, a couple of rock-solid press statements here and there, or even a bloody twitter, might quell my impatience somewhat.
