My order was a overnight also ... Dell deal on the 5th

Did you speak to a cs rep or a supervisor?

Added another collum to the spreadsheet for "Shipping Address Different Then Billing". It would be interesting to know if the rumor about later shipping dates for different addresses is true.

I spoke with a supervisor on the phone...

He said on notes for dell it said They will be releasing this phone on the 24th

So i think alot of orders will be going out..


I tried to talk to like 3 differnt people on the phone each time i got something different...

What i can see is i think dell will start shipping them out tommorow which is the 24th... Like nokia has puted on the notes for dell :)

I hope so cause it seems like no one at dell knows what the hell they are talking about.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
can some one who ordered on 18th or later and have their item shipped send me his or her order #?

i was on the phone with a dell rep to check why my phone is not getting shipped where as others who ordered after me is already getting the phone. she said she can help check on it if i have the order no of ppl whose orders got shipped.. i have got her extn and told her that i will get back with the order #..

so would be helpful if some one can send me the order #.. i am asking for only the ones that got shipped, now that the phone is shipped they won't be able to do anything to the order.. :-)

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Lets call in and ask...

Same here the guy asked for a order # to vertify

hihai411 2009-11-23 23:44

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
if someone has an order number you can also send it to me. I was argueing with the manager as to why some have received a ship date and some have not even though we placed it on the 5th of Nov. He wanted an order number to confirm if this is true or not. His ext is 6125427 forgot his name.

if you look at the spreadsheet we have going, the vast majority of us have not reported our orders as being marked as shipped. Also, most of us ordered on Nov 5th. I know everyone is anxious, but it seems a bit premature to be calling Dell complaining that yours hasn't shipped yet...

The list was started for only us who placed orders on the 5th. So that explains why we are such a big part of the list.

For example my order placed on the 19th of Nov is not listed there, exactly for the above reason. Even though the one from the 19th appears as shipped as well. I got the IMEI numbers on both phones here, so they´ve definitely allocated sets to me.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
For the people who do call or write though, I think it might be helpful if you ask the CSR to note any promises on the account (i.e., if they say it will be shipping out the 24th, say, "Thanks, could you please make a note of that on my account?"). This not only might help you out, but if say I'm still waiting to get news come tomorrow, being able to say "look, you promised these people it would be out yesterday, what's changed?" might be helpful.

I do not think its premature to call and inquire for order status. Even if only a dozen where shipped out it means that dell is shipping. I think it makes sense for any one that has a preorder to want to know as to how these n900's are being allocated. If alot of customers call in to inquire than it would put more pressure on them to give us something more solid instead of just brushing us off.

There are only two knowns:

1. Dell does not stock phones.
2. They ship from source, but have Dell invoice.

They do not like stuff on their inventory books if they can avoid it. All printers, phones, etc are through consignment. Even their Dell brand printers are rebranded Lexmark printers that Lexmark shikps for them except for some rare bundle deals.

I am getting some relief that I am not the only one in the wait of getting that precious email you got.

I don´t know. Last time I got a phone from Dell, a Nokia N97 I did never get more information than I have now.

I shipped it the cheapo way, just same as now, and I was never able to track it. It just appeared at the date they gave when they sent out the "shipped" email.

All I know is that the payment of for 2 N900s from Dell has been finalized, and I´ve gotten the shipped emails and the invoices which contain the IMEI numbers of the devices.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I wanna know if they have any queue or what are they relying on whose gets shipped first and whose dont.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I also ordered on the 5th and just called. I have not received the shipping email either. The Dell CSR says when looking into my specific order #, it days est. shipping date of 11/24 also. I find it surprising that some have received the emails and others haven't, but the 24th seems to be a pretty common date. I guess all we can do is wait... bummer... :)

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I wonder if our location plays a part in any of this.

Bratag 2009-11-24 01:16

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
The chick I spoke to from Dell said that the fact I was one of the first people to order may actually be counting against me.

Who the hell knows.

charbar 2009-11-24 01:17

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
^ based on the spreadsheet, i dont think we have any set patterns as to why some people had theirs shipped yesterday and today while other's haven't. its just all a waiting game at this point :\

Rushmore 2009-11-24 02:04

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I think that like a few made it through direct channels to Nokia stores, so did some for Dell orders- same channel.

Most of us will get our orders in December.

edit: anybody else got an update on the order??
dell's call center is still not accepting calls for order details or to discuss anything about order placed

Not only is dell getting screwed with the coupon snafu, but they are also getting screwed by everybody calling their expensive *** call center in India. Doesn't every call cost something like several dollars if not more?

For carrier, mine says "Data temporarily unavailable", so not sure if mine is today or tomorrow. I am guessing tomorrow.

Hi,

Any chance you can tell me what is the cheapest price in the US as thinking of getting it there to use in the UK.

Laughing Man 2009-11-24 14:16

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
The cheapest price in the USA is probably Amazon right now. Dell if you want to jump through a few hoops (e.g. buy a Dell gift card worth $200 for $160 dollars on eBay). Try coupon codes that may or may not work if Dell has caught them yet.

But outright plain purchasing, Amazon is the cheapest at the moment.

I hate that. In the states amazon is the cheapes and in europe its one of the most expensive web shops if you want a N900.

Amazon.com ->$499
Amazon.de ->599,97€
