Crikey, I regularly pre-order things that I would not have enough money in my account to pay for until launch day. Fortunately when I ordered the N900 I did have but as I did not go direct to Nokia the hold was only on my account for a day or so. I do not expect it to go back on until ready to ship.

In my case though the hold was due to the credit check with it being a new contract.

I noticed today that I have been charged for a 3rd time in less than 1 week from Nokia. Usually its been 1 every 4 to 5 days. This is odd. Do you guys think that they will be shipping soon?

I hope so. Nokia's had a charge for the full price on my account since the 3rd. Not a problem, but I want to see it clear and have a shipping notice pop up in my e-mail
