My first post here... I've been reading this for the last couple of days and I must say this is similar to what happened two and half years ago with the E90 (http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31037).

No Offense, but we don't really need any more Anna B letters do we?
I seem to remember from ordering my n810 that Nokia doesn't use Royal Mail for delivery (or not for express delivery)
Unfortunately Mobile Phones Direct do:

But there is also a ray of hope in their terms and conditions:

On the other hand it would be hard to say what will happen first. Royal Mail end their strikes or Nokia releasing the N900.
Also, I recall the last time Royal Mail did a big strike they hired extra staff to do Special Delivery so that at least those were on time.
