Which basically means you're caught in a news loop vortex. Time to reverse the polarity, I'm afraid. That information came from here. ;) And is no more reliable than any other except Peter's statement of "November".

I just got the same call and they just told me the same. the previous order was cancelled and a new one made. I've been assured I'll have it next week. Soon the wait will be over. they say that Good things come to those who wait - I hope NOKIA keep it this way. :D

For all that believe that they have to wait only few minutes here the latest *definitive* release date from http://discuss.gdgt.com/nokia/n900/g...et-up-tonight/ : "we are hoping for a November release...but definitely this year." - Head up!

Mobile phones direct (Who also run nokia's UK retail) just told me that the latest date they have is now the 16th. So at least another week of delay in the uk.

MPD have been saying the 16th for quite a while. nokia.co.uk have been saying the 9th for just as long, or longer.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Mobile Phones Direct has been saying Nov. 16 since at least Oct 22nd, so I don't think that represents any additional delay.

Neither I nor my colleague have had either a call or email from Nokia UK despite preordering them directly. Anyone have an idea if these are being worked through from the 1st days of preorder ?

I <3 Nokia USA date change to "END OF NOVEMBER 2009" They should add an "if you are lucky" piece to the end of it. I wonder if the SE X10 will hit the shelves first with its beefier hardware

I remember Bratag from the innocent Android days. He speaks from the heart :)

An even worse person to scorn is a fanboy techie :eek:

Bratag is not a fanboy. He is kind of like Mad Max wondering the OS tundra- looking for an OS to call home. ;)

I preordered for myself, then cancelled that and did it through my Mrs a couple of days later.

Then sent me the email, but not her. I called up on her behalf and they re took the order for me, so it might pay to give them a call and double check yours is still on order.

They told me there was a technical problem with the pre-orders, although I suspect they are trying to get out of the cashbacks schemes!

It does make you wonder.

The email says that they need to check if you still want the device that you pre-ordered, and to confirm that your payment details are still current. But when you phone, it's a different story: they tell you there's a technical problem with your order, and they need to cancel it and replace it with a different order.

Furthermore, the person I spoke to didn't sound like a typical call centre droid. She sounded like a well-educated office worker, and had a detailed and specific knowledge of the N900 pre-ordering process, situation, shipping dates etc.

Regards,
Roger

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
After seeing a few post mentioning Nokia sending emails and cancelling Pre-orders I decided to contact Nokia (UK) to see what was going on.

I was told that there was a problem with the order system and that the Nokia rep had to check to see if my order was affected by the so called order system issue. Fortunately my order wasn't affected and I don't have to re-order I used 2 of the codes that HASS posted in a thread somewhere and TopCashBack.

The Nokia rep told me that they are due to get there first shipment next Monday 09/11/09 and will start shipping.

Hopefully. I'm not really relying on this info, As the saying goes...

I'll believe it, when I see it.

I may actually be the CAUSE for this PLAGUE....I talked to Nokia Tech support like 3-5wks ago and made them aware that the Operator Three (3) did not work AT ALL on the N900 ( was a thread here)
the Nokia Tech support guy said...you must be kidding...and I forced him to find a SIM card with that operator...he tested and NOTHING = DEAD PHONE.
he then IMMEDIATELY wrote a BUG REPORT in the NOKIA DATABASE
he told me right away, sorry we will be forced to delay the release

He did not do the decision of course....HE wrote the report, and I gave the reference from the MAEMO BUG report showing LOW PRIORITY...a day later the status was changed to high....coincidence I don't know but give a better explanation to why the N900 should be delayed in Sweden only then....

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Well, the 3 SIM bug seems to still be open, so they're cutting it a bit fine to fix it before shipping out on the 9th.
