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.
Question is, is that timeframe when I can expect it at my doorstep or is it when they will ship it out their door.
Well whenever I get something stuck in my head or I am frustrated by something
I start making lyrics about it to some song, whatever song pops in my head so here it goes for refreshing amazon order and waitng for N900.

Also, the prices for the N900 from 3rd party sellers are ridiculous. A friend referred us to an interesting trick that alerted us within seconds of when some Nokia accessories we were looking for came back in stock, at the REGULAR Amazon price. It actually monitors Amazon stock, and much faster than email. It's free and people are using it for I guess anything else that's out of stock. Right now we're using it to watch for a laptop. It's at www.azproductsnatcher.com
Just had my 11/24 order for delivery pushed from the 7th to the 9th (1 day Prime). The fact that they've made such a minor amendment makes me think Amazon may finally be on top of the process and actually know how to fulfill their preorders. As always I'll just be glad if I get the phone before my summer vacation (that's January for you north hemispherians).
I didn't even realize it at first. As soon as I started the free trial for Amazon Prime, my status switched to 'shipping soon' (originally shipping dec11, arriving free 5-8day shipping on dec18-28).
I had to actually call Amazon to change it (because it was processing and locked me out) to get 1day 3.99 shipping. After the update she said I should be getting it Tuesday.
Woohoo! (Sorry if I just cut in-front of anyone but free-trial+$4 is definitely worth getting the n900 20 days early! )
I think I'll pick up Left 4 Dead 2 while I'm on Amazon Prime.

I'm fighting so hard not to write a scathing report on Amazon, since I don't even think its their fault about all of the delays. However, I ordered over 2 1/2 months ago, and I'm watching people buy and get delivery in days. WTF?!
More lies
