Thanks for the info Peter, I also would like to ask for some more information. I appreciate that you are taking the feedback into account, I mean we all like to have bug-free phones. But if you need some more time why not just say so? I mean everyone kept telling us "End of October is still valid". If you cant keep that date just come out and say so. I would have no problem waiting for it till December If nokia comes out and says clearly that they need the time. It would really help if you applied some of the openness you are saying the N900 and maemo is providing to the Marketing and shipping process too..

And yes, we've gotten some decent feedback from the community after the Maemo Summit from those 300 devices we gave out with some things we haven't detected in our usual-for-all-devices testing around the world. Some of this feedback, we want to take into account in both the first sales software release i.e. PR1.0 and some in software updates we provide later this year.
Hello.

Thanks for letting us know

I have just seen at a danish webshop called "Proshop". And they have allways had a unconfirmed date. Suddenly they had not any date for some time. But suddenly again they have got a "Confirmed" date at 15-11-2009. So lets hope for the best

In regards to have bug-free devices, I think we need to be careful with what we wish for. Even if you look at the bugs reported from those 300 pre-production devices we handed out in Maemo Summit, we find some rather not-so-easy-to-judge bug reports such as bug 5391 "Virtual keyboard does not appear in Maps" or 5466 "Time in clock application not updated when not having focus". The first one is an UX inconsistency challenge but not exactly a end-of-the-world incident that really needs prioritization of R&D resources. The later one is actually on purpose as far as I understand to save battery i.e. refreshing content in display such as calendar data or clock not in focus drains the battery unnecessarily. We will consider and value all feedback. It helps us to deliver a better UX, but waiting for the bug free device built on open computer technology is like trying to find the holy grail.

I think I can safely promise you "before 2012"! (Because I will look for another job if this thing soon doesn't leave the factory).

"Nokia marketing sucks"? Well, what should I say? Thanks for nothing, maybe?! ;-)

Not sure why you posted here, if you weren't going to say anything.
