Re: So who will get it first
 
I'm not certain there's even an official N900 seller in Canada (sorry, Expansys.ca, that's just drop-shipping). I doubt we'll get it first.

Regardless, I vote for Canada (just like R-R). The improbability makes it cool.

and the commonwealth doesn't really qualify as "international law" either, it's just a loose combination of former english colonies. it's up to london to say who's on it in what role.


edit:
btw, does anyone know a good translation of the german word "Völkerrecht" ?
"international law" seems so generic...

the legal term includes just those 4 but the administrative UK includes many more, that scotland finaly says its independent fine but just regarding the UK gov, nothing else

I had history class in west yorkshire a while ago... they where blaming everything on germany while it wasnt even close to effects.. germany had exactly the same problems for the same reasons, so did many other (and I am not talking about WW2),

end of class

nope.

"While "countries" is the commonly used descriptive term, owing to the a lack of a formal British constitution, and the protracted and complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom, the countries of the UK have no 'official' appellation."

true

its so disappointing to see that "truth" depends on the country when it comes to blame someone

Why are you all diverting from the OP's question? Rather than arguing what is what, just try guessing if you don't know the answer to his question...

I must guess, UK is getting theirs first because nokiaUSA still says "End of November" on their site. This is just my guess.

For someone who goes around telling other forum members that they are rude you sure have a nasty way of interacting yourself.

Did anyone actually vote for what they think it was? Or did they vote for what they hoped it was. Somehow I feel like this just laid out the locations for people with N900 preorders.

Re: So who will get it first
 
I'm pulling for finns, but then the last phone we really had earlier than any other country was E90 and with 5800 we where one of the first to get it, but for some reason the guys over USA have been getting Nokia products early...not to even talk about the cheap prices :mad: :D
Don't know if Salo is the or one of the factories making N900?

I hope they get it before Friday, would mean I would have it on Friday then as MPD ship next-day. If they shipped Friday there is little chance it would arrive Saturday, most likely would be Monday. Still, thats pretty much the time frame they promised so not bad.

Also, is it just me or has the N900 page on MPD been taken down? They just been told they aren't getting as much stock as originally promised perhaps?

nuknuk 2009-11-10 22:16

Re: So who will get it first
 
If i get the call fom manchester i will shoot over and buy one from there and same as last time return the 1 from Nokia uk when that Finally turns up.

Current units seem to be made in Korea. So all the impatient people look at the timetables of flights from Seoul, they might be carrying your precious N900 towards you ;)

Thank goodness if they're made in Korea. At least Korea has an established reputation for making decent products, rather then China.

Err do you realize how much stuff is made in China? Being made in China doesn't mean anything, it's the company that wants it manufactured that determines quality. Most companies just have terrible QA.

And I know they're still making more units to meet demand but I'm hoping Nokia is at least knows to move the built up stock closest to a warehouse for wherever they're suppose to go.

More lies. Apple business model is to pay fake journalists to make biased reviews. This is really annoying.
