Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
This is so frustrating and stupid. I ordered on 10/19 on buy.com, and never changed my order because I didnt want to lose my place in line and WAIT LONGER. If I had any idea that the retail stores would fricking get them first, I would have been on the wait list for that the FIRST DAY it was announced, and would have driven the 4 hours to get one

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
After my chat with Nokia (USA), I decided to call. This won't come as a surprise to most of you but he said that while they have the Nokia N900 in stock it is still considered a pre-order. He told me that they have started shipping pre-orders.

I asked whether I would get the N900 by Monday if I ordered today, and he told me that he thought I would, but they only have 800 units in stock, so if they run out during the pre-orders I will have to wait for the next batch.

This story is starting to become more clear. I think that very few N900's shipped in the first batch and that is why we are only hearing confirmations of shipping and delivery from a few people. But how dumb is it to send out a couple thousand units in the first batch when you know there are tens of thousands on pre-order. That will just make early adopters angry and frustrated that they didn't get their's before the retail stores.

Guy on twitter says his Sept. 15th Amazon order finally shipped out from Bartlett, TN (Memphis) to Virginia

Looks like Amazon is finally shipping a sprinkling of n900s. Doesn't seem to be any order because two people report pre-ordering mid September and another fellow November 5th.

Makes PERFECT sense. Some pre-orders are more "pre" than other pre-orders, except the places where they are in stock and they have lists and when they stop using lists so you can just go in and buy them for less than the pre-order on their official site and get it earlier. :eek:

Exactly.... They've told me the same thing and asked if I would like to place an order and give me a link to it. I bet there're thousands of complaint emails got sent to them. I think they're doing their part, it's the factory fault for not providing them with correct informations. Some one must have messed up the system that's why ppl who pre-ordered WAAYYYYYY before still didn't get them while someone pre-order a week or two ago already got theirs shipped.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
well it seems like, in the US at least. A very small number were sent air express to the retail stores. The rest arrived very recently by container on the east coast, which is why the only units that seem to be shipping are coming out of TN? Hopefully this is the case, and within the rest of this week and beginning of next week, we will see them come into stock all over the US. I hope the alternate, that their first batch was PATHETICALLY too small, is not the case.

First batch sent via ship, ship takes longer to get here. Second batch sent for immidiate backup (small amount of units) via AIR to those ordered after. Thus, coming to conclusion that we're getting the FIRST batch "Made In Finland" while the others got theirs early "Made In CHINA" hahahaha..... jk jk ... it's getting too serious and the atmosphere very densed here. Calm down ppl and so do I lolz

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
The plot thickens...

Nokia (USA) rep just told me that their inventory of N900's "in stock" has dropped to 539 units. Based on what the last rep told me it looks like they have shipped almost 300 units in the last couple of hours.

Only a few tens of thousands more...! This is depressing.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
I just noticed that the website now said in stock so I just ordered mine from nokia online and they said that it should ship next week at the latest. I don't mind paying the premium if it is really going to ship. I also have it ordered on amazon. I will cancel the one that ships last.

Now that's bull. Congrats to you but that's why I hate Dell, no consistency. Ordered 11/5 and mine shows as "In Production" with 12/10 shipping date.

Dell order estimated ship date of 12/23, Pennsylvania. Ordered 11/05

They said "We have not received any stock on this device as of yet (today 11/24)

The people from Spain, like me, who ordered from Nokia Spain, are still waiting for any kind of confirmation. I'm very pissed because now they say we must wait to the firt week of december...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Then imagine us in Sweden.
We KNOW that we don't have a date for release. Probably not this year:)

Because the new firmware has to be released which usually takes time (minimum 1 month).

So don't cry just yet!=)

Looks like more availability Friday, except for the Tenn. warehouse which is second week of December. Seems like Nokia is at risk of missing a sizable amount of "holiday" season spending, such as it is.

It's interesting that a lot of the Dell orders were shipped out of Tennessee. I wonder if that's why availability is now worse from that warehouse?

I called Dell since my order date and number is way before yours, and the helpful lady said that your was bought under an employee discount program and maybe that's why you got priority ~ Mine is still in production, and I ordered Nov 5th !

Ah, I didn't think that would make a difference.
The discount my employer has with Dell didn't apply for this
phone, but I guess just going through the EPP website matters.

Of course she said that to have an answer for you. There is no freaking way that with discount made you priority. Make a big deal out of it and ill bet they'll try to get one for you right away. Tell her if she knows what 1st pre-order and 2nd pre-order mean.

Hehe, told you guys that the huge discount was only a pre-order deal. ;)

Great for everyone that pre-ordered device, for everyone else they'll have to wait for the price drops starting from the $650 price tag.

lot of activity over at newegg pre-order => add to cart => backorder => sold out => add to cart. Still no processing of my pre-order, but it sure seems like it's coming.

Seems like people who ordered at the very last minute on newegg are getting their CC's charged and phone shipped out. What about the idiots who pre-ordered thinking they and newegg shared the same definition of "pre-order"

Why are pre-orders not going out first? :mad:
