WHY DO PEOPLE NOT BOTHER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT 'SHIPPING' IS!!!
The industry term of shipping means the phones are being delivered to the distributors/retailers. Nokia have always done this this way. Its always been around 2 weeks from shipping that the phones are available.

You people are plain ignorant.

but yet you cannot refrain from posting here..

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Pray tell me how I am in any way ignorant from my post that actually engaged a brain.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

What's that even supposed to mean? "Don't post here unless you agree"? How about "don't post if you don't have **** to contribute."

Shipping clearly doesn't really imply delivery. But yeah, I'd appreciate it if next time, Nokia could learn to shut the **** up until they have something to show us.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i do not fully understand but i was just trying to say that if you think those people act useless, why are you trying to tell them? to educate them? to make them stop? do you think they did not already know that? it has been posted a hundred times that it is useless.
so instead of finding a place where you can have a conversation on a for YOU useful subject, you post here. That is what looks kind of useless to me.

this thread is like a lot of kitty's miauwing while waiting for there food to arrive on the kitchen floor. you can tell them to stop miauwing but they won't :P

the actual information you gave in your reply, saying that this is the way nokia does things and that the shipping nokia told about is the shipping to the retailers etc etc. that IS indeed true and could be useful information yes

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I have a good feeling about Nokia USA shipping early this coming week... they currently have 2x my order total on hold - one on 11/12 and another on 11/13. This is not the norm, and I have never seen it previously. I'm guessing one is the normal weekly hold, another is the hold for the charge authorization.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I never imagined the day that I will be happy and just waiting for somebody take my money but
Nokia actually made people wish their cards are charged

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hehe... On an unrelated note, I find it rather amusing to read this thread, it's hard to wait for something you want so bad, and this thread should go on, people need to vent out.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

could you give me a few reasons to go on a holiday to the maldives? (best information comes first hand)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Stupid question - but what day did Nokia USA begin offering preorders?

I got my preorder in on ::
#
# Order Placed: 09/08/2009 11:43:01 AM

I called last week and was told they were going out to people who preordered before me.

Thanks.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

If that's the case it is a dumb way of processing your order, that means $1,400 in authorizations to buy a single product? Doesn't make sense, successful authorizations can be captured into a charge without doing a separate auth.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

They're both going to disappear, they did the same thing to my chase account, the first one disappeared and I believe this second one is about to at 4am est also.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I am not sure I am the right source for this cause I would be biased hehe.. anyhoo if you have the money, choose a resort run by larger international hotel chain also don't come in the rainy season (now its rainy). As for the reasons, its quite, the beaches are nice, and if you are a diver, underwater reefs are worth a visit in some areas and if you ain't a diver, you could always get a ride in a submarine (make sure the water is not murky). Most of the resorts are pretty well designed and comfy and private, I suggest a water bungalow (with glass on the floor hehe) and some resorts have underwater restaurents n SPAs. Last but not least, one of the telcos do provide a data plan only SIM for your N900 and most of the resorts have WiFi everywhere.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Generally, yes. My order is supposedly on an "old" ordering system, so it's very likely it will be processed in an unusual way. Another possibility is that the weekly authorization that they've been doing is separate of normal billing, in such a way that the two processes aren't involved or aware of what happens in the other (i.e. weekly batch job to blindly authorization all queued orders, then when order enters the fulfillment stage it is individually authorized/charged unaware of any other successful authorizations). Who knows. It's definitely new and different, and makes me suspect something is going to happen. I can say for certain that I have almost $1450 tied up by Nokia at the moment.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Interesting trend...

Thread starts off with controversy about the shipment to distributors/retailers.
Now it's the controversy on how Nokia charge cards and the order of pre-orders going out.
Next, controversy on delivery companies?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Don't believe what they say on the phone. The salespeople don't know what is happening with N900.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

hi iv been to shops in wolverhampton and phone shops saying they havnt received an release date. im guessing only place is online then? i just wondering how is the vodafone contract like can you upgrade during ur contract ect ect

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

What was the last anyone heard of MPD and when? Last I heard they were going to start sending them out on the 16th. Is this still the case?

My order status still says "pending stock" annoyingly! I hope it goes straight to "dispatched" tomorrow *crosses fingers*.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Its quite interesting that nokia.de translate every press release nearly just-in-time. But the N900 shipping message has still not reached
http://www.nokia.de/nokia/presseloft

As there are for the N900 different keyboard layouts and different SKU for the different regions I think I still have to wait 2-4 weeks before I get my device.

In Germany the status is still unreleased, preorders possible, shipping maybe starts at Nov 25. But nobody really knows anything.

Bye

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i believe so they told me 16/17th mine also says pending stock hopefully that will change tomorow :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hopefully, but from what I've read in this forum MPD havent received any stock yet. If they do get the stock tomorrow it could well be in the afternoon and I would doubt many of the pre-orders will be dispatched until Tuesday at the earliest.

As I ordered Nov 1st (after cancelling my Amazon order) I would think end of the week, possibly the following week is more likely....

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I pre-ordered 28th September, hopefully I'll be near-ish the top of the list!

Anyone know when MPD started taking pre-orders? Don't think I waited too long before pre-ordering.

I hope they get it dispatched tomorrow and the people on the forums are wrong!

Literally cannot wait any longer!!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I still dont have high hopes for next week, Nokia Online Store in Finland has told they start delivering at week 48, so thats what Im aiming for atm. 1 more week to go...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Found this one on twitter. Nokia N900, first impressions.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Not a SINGLE photo, not gonna believe that! After he posts a photo with DHL package, box with actual manual, then I might start believing him...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hate this guy already .

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hahaha - i have to admit i also don't believe it..... saying that, the forums here are quite quiet! - maybe they are all playing with their new toys and too busy to post on here? (Lol - doubt it!)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I also don't believe it but either way i hate him .

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

His profile tells him to be older gentleman, that knows his stuff though.
http://www.blogger.com/profile/14150760358204662824

I did post a comment on his blog, to post a pictures to proof his claims, hopefully he will answer to it.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Interesting:

Kurt Bihler said...

I won the N900 as a door prize at the Chicago N900 Meetup. The "Wonderful" Katja from Nokia sent it to me from Finland.


He also posted the DHL tracking link in his blog, so it seems to be true!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

True, wouldn't expect a lie .... but something doesn't seem right with his post.... :) - will keep an eye on his reply :)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

ooo that makes more sense - wonder what software versions he is on, could be an early version, or may as he is saying be the actual device! (I didn't read it carefully enough i assume!)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

The guy provides a link on his blog to DHL for tracking but it shows a blank screen. I extracted the tracking # from the link: 1135349902

and put it into: http://www.dhl-usa.com/home/home.asp

It comes back with this:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

This explains why he got the device so soon:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Its a bit odd for Nokia to send pre-production model as price though, because they wont let users to have them. But who knows...

Well, now at least I have some reason to wake up tomorrow morning and check my email ;)
But still Im setting my mind for week 48, so I wont be too much disappointed if nothing happens...

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Why would it be pre-production model?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

It was dispatched from Finland on Wednesday, the day after the shipping announcement.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

They dont get stock they said to me its sent directly from nokiaretail as they MPD run Nokia retail outlets cant wait:D

thats why when you go online to MPD and click on the n900 it directs you to the nokia site because they work together ;):D

Oh my only concern is you may not get from first batch as you preordered late because they do say first come first served

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

This fellow has received his from DHL. Also it seems like the new firmware has made a huge difference in battery life :)

http://anidel.blogspot.com/2009/11/m...uter-n900.html

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Wait, he has a real N900 or one of the developer's pre-production units?

Either way, glad to see the good news about the improved battery life. :)
