While most vendors are going with a 'best guess' on supply date, Amazon has opted for a 'worst case' approach. Unless Nokia set it back again, 30th November should be the absolute latest it shows up. Amazon UK are saying much the same.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

I got this email on the 22nd, they said

Hello from Amazon.com.

We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on September 22 2009 (Order# 002-....).

"Nokia N900 Mobile Computer Unlocked Cell Phone with 3.5-Inch Touch Screen, A-GPS, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty"

Still want it? We'll keep on trying. To keep your order for this item open, please click the link below. Otherwise, we'll cancel your order on November 21 2009, if we haven't located it by then.

....

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.
--------------------------
so it is just their standard 30 day rule.
pretty much meaningless...

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

they should state "all pre-orders so far will get 30% discount" :P and lot of ppl will be happy ^^

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

NokiaUSA still says that it'll be availible by the end of October 2009. It's a shame that Nokia never updates their product pages... if I remember correctly, the same site says that N95 only supports up to 2 GB microSD-cards, which obviously is a joke. Nokia's whole consumer support is a joke as well. Are they trying to lose N900 purchasers, or what?

Hey

Just had a chat with one of the danish shops again today. And he said that they would have it on friday. He also said that they shuld get it on Thursday, but as it is a new phone release, he would rather say friday to me, so i would not get disappointed :P

Lets see :P 4 days to go.

From Kehaan.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Hello.

Just as i wrote the post above, i had another email from "Telmore" which said they still expect it to come this week... Crossing my fingers :P

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

I've been testing hard, so hard that I now have a device that doesn't work anymore (see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6014). Would it be possible for Nokia to provide people who bricked the device with an image to reflash the device? (Before the N900s are shipped that is.)

thanks,
Kasper

Kasper,
Here's what you're looking for.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Hhehehehe pure evil, but what else would you expect from a thread full of people WITHOUT N900s, bricked or otherwise.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

You are absolutely right. I wish I had a bricked N900! Just think of the fun he had getting there! I mean, that's how we all learned Linux in the first place, ehhh? I fully expect mine to get bricked at some point.

He's got the wrong thread to be cryin' in though. He's cross posting as well.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Nah, just one division not talking to another division.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Lol I've been using my good old little 8310

Didn't expect I'd be using it this long though.. (Sold my N97)

I think this is an example of being pushed over the edge :)

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

I can't stand it anymore, Nokia, Peter if you're reading this section ( which I'm sure you guys are ), gives us our ****ing devices...enough is enough, we can't wait any longer...

I actually went into a Verizon store today and thought about leaving T-Mobile and pre-ordering the Droid, but I didn't solely because I want the N900...

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Have a Pre with Sprint and HATE it! I am itching for a well built device and thought about Droid. The thing thats holding me back is Verizon's cost Vs. Sprint/T-Mobile ($70 Per Month More!) and I hear Droid's keyboard blows.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

The keyboard on the droid sucks, and the screen is capacitive. How exactly are you going to type that all important sms?

Don't quote me on this, as i have stated in previous threads i am no expert on these matters but i can't help but detect a hint of frustration in this post, tinged also with a flourish of anger.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

The Xperia X10 looks nice... might come out before the N900 too!

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

HAHAHAHA you wish, u must have not been a SE customer lately.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Nokia.com and all nokia sites are DOWN...Bring us the news we are waiting for...

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Denial of Service attack from disgruntled N900 Pre-Order customers no doubt!

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Or DoS from iphonistas?

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

I havent even pre0orderers but of course I am itching to get the N900 like all the rest.

But since the waiting period began after the N900 announcement, the Droid and the HD2 were announced much later and also are about to go on sale before the N900.

I understand bringing a phone to market has lots of issues - but this a big manufacturer should have its game to the level - where they can announce and bring to market faster without the huge gaps in between.

In todays cut-throat world of PR and media blitz and coverage and rapid customer churn, the old model of announcing and releasing much later doesn't work any more. The whole cycle of announce and release should have worked out the factors of beta testing and bug-fixing etc in that time period itself. But I guess this is where large companies suffer most - its inability to change its operational models quicky to adapt to changing markets.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Err, me thinks your confusing Apple with Nokia.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Blast my Auntie! She keeps ringing me up and asking me to order her Christmas Presents from Amazon. I have a heart attack every time I get an email saying something has dispatched - only to find it's one of her dvd box sets or books!

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

I heard when they put the N900 release date as 2010, that all their servers went down with the traffic hit....

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Nah it was a DoS attack organised by rabid pre-order victims. That or iphonetas.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

it was only home pages what was down,
the stores was unaffected, i could access every single other page on all parts of the sites

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Well, there ya go then. Taking orders is much more important than delivering information!

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Wait, what I thought you were all joking...someone actully DOS'd them?

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Dunno if it was a DoS, but the pages were down - twitter was buzzing with it.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

What! This thing really happened?

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

NO!

The Nokia front page was down for several hours. No-one knows why. I was just speculating with tongue firmly in cheek.

Sheesh! You guys take everything seriously!

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

Yep and unfortunately Nokia has demonstrated an extremely poor ability to adapt to the market. Sure it's still selling a lot of phones but its competitors are running rings around it. Devices like the Droid are announced and then available for purchase very quickly with reviews and all.

We're now in the first week of November and Nokia customers still have to rely on retailer dates because there's no official information. People in different markets have no idea whether they're getting the product anywhere from next week to 2010.

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

TOtally agreed with you man. I've been waited for this device for months and yet I still have no idea when will this device ever coming to New Zealand or Asia. This is terrible, if this is still going, I might just get some other phone and drop my dream of Pure Linux Experience in my pocket. Seriously, NOKIA getting suck badly at keeping up with the technology. The only phone that they are a head of everyone else is the N95 and it was great though the stupid RAM limitation issues. NOKIA never release anything that make their phone lives for more than 2years of the released date. They should start thinking how to take on the competitors in the market right now. Their device are quite OVER PRICED and very buggy software. I'm hoping this N900 will be their next WOW thing but seem like it is getting old again before it even released. Pricing is also a big matter for N900 in Europe and UK. Also their selected REGIONs will not helping their marketing. NOKIA getting more dummer every year somewhat. If they want to have a bigger market then why not do a world wide releases. This way they get more customers. I know that they required alot of organisation and shipping cost but APPLE Iphone did it. NZ got it the same time as USA and UK. What a nice marketing scheme apple made.

NO-KIA please hear us out... Let the pet out already

Re: Did your N900 ship today continued
 

"Select regions" is really dumb and the Nokia store "exclusives" are even dumber. Let retailers handle the retail end of things. I have absolutely no idea why people should be waiting an extra week (at least) on the basis of ordering or not ordering direct from Nokia. I don't live in the UK so I can't order from the UK Nokia store but I can order from Amazon UK.

Both of these things just mean that Nokia devices have an enormous price premium for months after release. If you're in the "wrong" market or don't have access to the Nokia store you have to buy it on ebay at a variable price with a variable level of customer service and satisfaction.

Why bother with the hassle for a new platform (Maemo) which lacks applications and which we know is unfinished (step 4 of 5 at least). We also know capacitive screens are the way to go in future Nokia devices and the N900 doesn't have one. As users we're essentially investing in Nokia's future competence with this platform and buying on the strength of what it might become rather than what it is right now.

People wonder why others are getting disgusted and cancelling their preorders etc. It's because their faith in Nokia's competence and ability to change is being tested by a release cycle that has all the failures of previous release cycles.

Personally I'll go with the N900 whenever it comes out. I want what it offers and I want to develop applications for it. However I worry for a future in which Google and Apple dominate the industry and smartphones are merely paths to user monetisation.
