Should add postal code so we can see it on a map

1. Not an east coast issue since MD and NC are getting them

2. I would have thought at least MD and VA would get deliveries from same hub and looks like people that ordered on 11/19 are getting before 11/5 orders.

3. The current sample suggests low supply (DUH), since if Dell had their pre-order allocations, we should probably see more orders fulfilled.

4. MD gets them, VA does not, but NC gets them. Odd.

Of course a lot of people may be getting them everywhere, unless we assume our own sample represents the whole thing.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
however this was my first purchase from Dell and as you can see not a really satisfying one, with all these kinds of distribution dicrimination, I am pretty sure not going back to dell another time, unless something I want and I can get it in the deal I got 470 total for N900

Nokia USA website now lists N900 in stock

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
With complete awareness some may throw both blunt and sharp objects at me, at least some Dell orders are seeing movement and now Nokia direct apparently is getting the phone in stock. For the US, this suggests Nokia direct channels are getting all available allocations first.

My guess is more Dell orders will be filled today and tomorrow and some more here will be much happier than if ordered from somewhere else. If supply is constrained, Amazon and Newegg may be waiting at least a week longer....

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
even if they ship tomorrow for my order I would still not be happy with Dell how they played this. order from the 5th doesnot get any shipments while the order on the 19th does.
(in context of my order from 5th and my friends from the 19th)

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I'm siding with the distribution center theory. If you sort the spreadsheet by state, you'll see that ALL Orders to Georgia have been shipped, ALL orders to Kentucky have been shipped and 2/3 orders to NC have been shipped (and the one in NC that hasn't been fulfilled was a singleton order placed on the 20th).

I am thinking about calling UPS telling them the item in their tracking system is a Thanksgiving gift and that I won't be available tomorrow to pick it up when they come. So I would appreciate it if they can allow me to pick it up when it arrives in my city... Anybody think they'd buy this and allow me to pick it up? I know they don't allow pickup until after 1st attempt.

Lol sounds like a good idea but I highly doubt they will go for it. I'm sure they get millions of those kind of calls around this time of year.

This thread has turned into the biggest bunch of whining I have ever seen. Dell says 12/10. If you get it before then, be happy. If not, be satisfied. If its late, THEN come back here and I'll whine about Dell with you.

Otherwise, shut up and leave the Dell reps alone.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Called DELL again they are now working the "Nokia says they have no stock because of production issues" line. I pointed out that people were still getting shipping notices.

Then they went back to the standard crap that noone is getting the phone because Nokia has none

The ****ing problem here is that people who ordered AFTER us are getting the goddamn phone before US

Lol... Guess, I am receiving an empty box weight 2lb from D3LL via UPS.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I have the lone un-filled order to NC. My original order was placed prior to 11/20. However Dell screwed up the pricing and had to cancel my preorder and refund my money, and resubmit my order to correct the price error. When they did this they, I was guaranteed that my est. delivery date would be pushed back only a couple of days. Then when the transaction was complete, the confirmation email listed a date of 2/2010. Naturally, I complained to Dell about this, and was given the usual we're sorry but there is nothing we can do. The most recent email from them states that the stock will be replenished on 11/30 and they will contact me with an updated delivery date when they receive one.

Sorry that was meant as sarcasm. The dell reps are completely disconnected from reality.

Just Got IT! From dell overnight. Sorry guys but just had to let you know. I think dell has just been passing their orders onto their vendor and the vendor has been arbitrarily shipping them. As shown by the google docs there is little to no logic, Best of luck.

Dell is holding back our orders until they can secretly replace our devices with their OWN flagship mega phone device.

"Discrimination" is a pretty loaded word. While you might feel like you're being 'discriminated' against, is it possible that's just your reaction to the ambiguity around the selection method behind who's gotten their device so far?

Gah!!!! Damn you kids, with your clothes, and your hair, and your music, and your N900's that successfully shipped from Dell!

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
WAHOO! My dell order status has changed to 'Shipped'. Here's a little trick I've discovered that seemed to work:

1. Go to your Dell order status page
2. Hit 'refresh' in the browser within 59 seconds
3. Repeat #2

If you refresh this page more than 60 times in 1 hour, it seems to bump your order into some 'priority queue' and your device gets bumped to the top of the queue....

Good Luck!
