haha...I don't know why, but when I read that I had a total Anikin Skywalker moment...when he goes and kills the whole village of monsters that killed his mother, and is telling Padme about it.

Yea speaking of F5 I'm pretty sure Dell is getting pegged now with refreshes from all of us. Seems like the site keeps getting slower to come back.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Hey, in any of that tracking information that you guys with phones being shipped have...does it show where the package is coming from? Usually there's an entry in the log that will show where it was picked up from when originally received from the source.

I was suspecting it was due to our location. I think today confirms it, does not seem like CA orders are being fulfilled. So the vendor theory kinda makes sense. Man talk about let down so close yet so far.

Welcome to the forum. You may want to update your order information here for some serious data mining.

I am in VA. Has fudge all to do with location. Its just pure out and out BS and crap. no logic - first orders should be the first ones ****ing fulfilled regardless of goddamn location

I'm also in VA and I haven't received any shipping notification.

for overnight, i agree. for ground, i'd much rather my order ship tomorrow from a CA warehouse than today from a TN warehouse, even if today the TN has stock and CA doesn't....

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I just got an email from Dell that states:

"How are you doing today? This is in regards to the status of the order# *********. I got an update from the vendor and they anticipate the stocks to be recovered by November 30th. Please let me know if you need additional assistance."

This is becoming cruel. BTW I ordered for the second time on 11/20/2009 with an estimated delivery date of 2/23/2010 (the original delivery date for the first one that was canceled was 11/23/2009), with next day shipping.

Why is everybody getting ticked a Dell? Think about it.

We have been told by several sources that the N900 will be drop shipped by Nokia.

Dell sends the orders to Nokia as they come in.
Nokia fulfills the orders.

Most likely, Nokia sent bulk deliveries to the carriers who are filling the orders based on their own shipping logistics.

Rushmore 2009-11-24 17:32

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Just got an update with UPS tracking number. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

I am an Excel and data / pivot table king, but can not see any common link other than no devices shipped to the coastal states...?

People that:

1. Did or did not get the discount are getting them
2. People that ordered earlier and later are
3. Different states are and are not
4. Differnet payment methods
5. Different shipping methods

The only other issue is if one hub is supplying a wide range of states.... Has anyone on the east or west coast states gotten order confirmations yet?

We are pissed because the whole premise of preordering is that you will receive yours before people who placed their order AFTER yours and this isn't happening.

Because I didnt order from Nokia - I ordered from Dell. If **** is being shipped in the wrong order - I don't give a flying fudge if the problem is with Nokia - Its up to Dell to sort the problem out because THATS WHO I ORDERED FROM!

Holy Cr4p!! more than 4100 posts on N900 delay and more than 500 posts on Dell orders alone. This is borderline obsessive disorder,... and of course I want to join the fun ..hahah

I have filled the spreadsheet and meanwhile I try to skim through other topics in this forum. You guys are very organized ... respect!!

My only guess is my original one that hubs that get stock in are shipping as they get them. This may explain why no coastal or more western states have gotten them.

Someone (boxhead) on the thread broke their back cover trying to load the battery. Droid has a metal one, so I did not have to worry about that. Mental note to be careful with N900 when installing battery.

BTW, I did not know you could do a community spreadsheet like that. I still have a LOT to learn :( :)

I def agree that dell should be shipping according to order recieved. I ordered on the 5th why the heck do I have to wait longer than someone that ordered after me, utter bs nonsense.

Ha that's nothing. You should have seen "Did your N900 got shipped today" thread which gathered great momentum and could easily have reach 10,000+ by now had it not been closed down.

There are already a couple of state columns. I assumed your HI was ship-to state and merged it.

Rushmore 2009-11-24 17:51

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Shipping by order date will only work if one hub is shipping. Too much cross traffic and inefficiency otherwise.

Now, if an order shipped from the same hub that is newer than another order- that would be wrong in this situation. That is probably happening and I get no sense of control with this launch. Looks like there is significant lag in delivery to their channel hubs. Again more signs of a very slow & low start to shipment volume.
