See "Keyboard layout" on Wikipedia.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

By the way, has it been confirmed that N900 will have different kinds of regional keyboards available?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Yes. At least it was confirmed for German variant.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I thought the ONLY model that has been announced has 900, 1700, and 2100?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Shouldn't that be 1900 instead of 1800?
And you're referring to US only, correct?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

It is nice to see it up for US pre-order, but their detailed specs seem to be a little inflated (ie SMS, MMS, digital compass).

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

finnish variant has also been confirmed

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

They allowed them to do it to the e71x

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

N900 now available for preorder on Nokiausa.com

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

$649 is the preorder price.

So I am gonna wait for a month and hopefully it will be under $600 by the time I jump for it. :)

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

nokiusa.com charges sales tax, bummer!

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I see the N900 page, but where does it allow you to preorder?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Don't see the link anywhere. Can you do a screenshot or something?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

See the screenshot here

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

All I needed to see...

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Is there anything more known about the UK launch date? Cause I'm going to UK in October. Would be nice to grab one with the low GBP :)

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I've pre-ordered and all it says on the order is:

"This order has not shipped", not particularly helpful.

I am hoping that it will ship 1st October (naturally I'm hoping it will ship before, ideally today - but I was hoping the n900 was out last year - eternal optimist)

Just tried phoning the helpline but got bored waiting for call to be answered

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I've also just done my pre-order. The nearest I've seen to a date is actually on the Expansys site which says expected 19th October. I'm hoping that coming direct from Nokia will be sooner than that.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

According to a tweet

" #N900 delivery is delaying, nokia changed the date from 1st of october to 12th october. this affects all preorders too."

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Don't do this to me (and the people around me which are already suffering enough!) :rolleyes:

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

It's going to be super awesome if we're all carrying N800s and N810s to the Summit. Have fun talking about Harmattan, Nokia, when we're still on Diablo. :rolleyes:

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

hey sachine i just wanted to ask you the US version for pre-order is this version made in finland or made in china please need to know :confused::confused::confused:

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

+1 for your very sane suggestion. The segmentation of 3G technology at all levels of the mobile value chain (OEM's, carriers, retailers) has been rife w/ mis/dis-information for years. "Will this work on my carrier?", "Does this phone have 1700mhz or 1900mhz?", "What if I travel overseas with it?"

Most recent example of this (and relevant to this N900 thread): I rang T-Mo last week just before buying an N900: The Tier3 tech support guy hadn't heard of the N900 but said it needed "1.9gigaherz" to be compatible w/ T-Mo US 3G. When I shared the N900 3G freqs, he check w/ his manager and reported back that the N900 likely has "European 3G" and wouldn't work in the US. When I repeated again the N900 had 1700mhz/2100mhz just like T-Mo US, he checked again with his supervisor. "Yeah, but that's European 2100mhz" he said. "Not American 2100mhz..." What's the difference? He couldn't say. I suspect there isn't one, and he (and his boss) were simply FUD'ing about a 'foreign' device.

Quad-band GSM phones have been around for a while now, why can't OEM's just make 'quad-band' 3G phone and eliminate all the confusion?

And for the record, I've been w/ T-Mo/DeutscheTelekom for over a decade and almost always bring my own phone. When T-Mo established a separate tech support team to help customers w/ non-T-Mo phones, support really improved (for me). I'm curious if Sprint/Verizon/AT&T provide similar support?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Probably overwhelmed with preorders. Nokia when are you going to take Maemo seriously! :rolleyes:

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Boy do I feel like knee-capping someone (anyone will do)

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Can I ask who the tweet was from? Just dont want to go off before i know its a reputable source.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Did a quick twitter search:

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Ahh ok. But nothing from nokia directly then? Just I checked my pre-order and it makes no mention of a delay.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

mm why no one is answering my question about the us version if the N900 will be made in finland or china !!! ?

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Maybe because nobody knows? Take a chill pill, man.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I don't think no one really knows yet. AFAIK Nokia have changed their manufacturing in recent years to cut logistical costs to a model where they try to make the handset as close to the markets as possible. So I'm guessing the US handsets won't be made in Finland since the factory in Salo will be producing handsets for the EU market.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Well it cannot ship on 1 October 2009 in UK because that is (or was?) the launch date in DE & IT.

Maybe N900 is sold on summit ;)

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

Just wanted to mention that I've used ATT in the past, and have now been with Tmobile for 5years. My wife still uses ATT.
Tmobile has excellent customer service in comparison, but the coverage... :( sometimes I just want to scream!

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I just switched to T-mobile in preparation for receiving my new N900 (and saving $60/month in the process...happy bonus). One thing that I've noticed is the marked decrease in signal strength indoors due to the lack of 850Mhz coverage. Still, even with 1-2 bars of signal on the N95's meter, the calls are clear and I've yet to have one drop yet. So, while on paper it looks worse, in practice it seems to actually be an improvement in performance. Perhaps that's due to the oversubscription of AT&T's network due to the iphone...plenty of RF signal strength but the network falls down due to the load. Hopefully the same will prove true with the 3G performance as well..but I'll have to wait until my new toy arrives to test it.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

I though shipping meant when the goods were leaving the factory. They still have to get to the local distributer before they can be sent out to the customer. If that is true then around about the middle of Oct for delivery sounds about right for a shipping date of the 1st.

Re: Nokia n900 shipping date October 1st!
 

12th October is also the shipping day in Germany according to the online shop. :(
