yea its kind of sad to me that they don't have a release date .. i for one know they are under pressure though don't care how big a company is when you have thousands of people anticipating a device they payed near 700 for you got to get it right....

I got this robomessage from Amazon today:

Hello from Amazon.com.

We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on September 14 2009 (Order# xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx).

"Nokia N900 Mobile Computer Unlocked Cell Phone"
{link removed}

Still want it? We'll keep on trying. To keep your order for this item open, please click the link below. Otherwise, we'll cancel your order on November 13 2009, if we haven't located it by then.

{link removed}

You'll still be able to cancel at any time before we ship it. If you want to cancel the item now, please click the link below:

{link removed}

If there are other items in your order, they'll be shipped according to the delivery estimates listed in the order details in "Your Account" ({link removed}).

By approving the new delivery estimate, you are letting us know that you still want the item(s) though they may arrive later than expected. If there are other items in your order, they will ship according to the delivery estimates listed in the order details in "Your Account" ({link removed}).

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

*****
WHY WAS MY ORDER DELAYED?
While we do our best to adhere to our delivery estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers. Occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply, delays during shipping, or changes in release dates for new products will add time to our original delivery estimate.

No mention of any delivery date. Only the confirm by 11/13/09, which is likely just 2 months after the order. "Trying to obtain" seems a little strange too, since the order page clearly said it was a pre-order.

Anyone else want to read between the lines?

I guess we all just have to wait for $RANDOM_DATE when the phone gets released to see which parts of the interwebs were correct...

Yes, I know that but he asked a specific question which required a specific answer...

Since when is giving a specific answer the correct response when discussing the N900? I thought it was a requirement to be as vague as possible, especially when the question is even remotely related to the release date.

Because I decided to not be ornery for a minute, but now since you reminded me, I go back to...

'Yes we have that one, the other ones, and the ones that haven't been invented yet, the websites that haven't been setup yet, as well as all the other ones in the foreseeable future, so please take the link and go refresh it a thousand times in anticipation of the shipping date updating to say " October 15th" on it'

Better?
