Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You may be right, but are you sure you are not thinking of the Gizmondo 2? I am not an expert by any means either... I found the pandora being worked on when i was looking for a nice ebook reader, and ended up with the n800. :-D

Truthfully I will probably get a pandora even if i get an n900, bigger screen, dual SDHC, only like $300, control sticks, charge through USB OTG *enh enh n900, nokia, come on*

edit:
lol, you're right, they started taking pre-orders in sept of 2008! You had to pay up front too.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

12/10/2009

Oh well. I really didn't think I would get it before then. A hunch of sorts. But, with the discount I just got, the waiting is oh so painfully sweet. :cool:

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

The pre-order they have in-stock? seemingly contradictory statement.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Anyone aware of what Dell's return policies are on cell phones? Would hate to pay 15% restocking fee on something that's almost $500.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Aaaaahhh, Well good price none the less.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

where is peter? anyone seen him lately?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Busy counting how many pre-order has been made and how much commission he wil be getting so far... hahahaha

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

If you look into N900 Specs offered by Dell,
WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900

So I think this is not gonna work with Tmob 3G in US.

I think they are selling the Euro version...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

There's no separate North America version. Just one version with identical 3G support wherever you buy it from.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

He's talking a coffee brake while checking is email on is N900. After that going back to packaging the shipping boxes

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well let's hope there isn't a repeat of that situation then!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

delayed?
could N900 be a myth. any one actually seen one live?

Re: N900 shipping delayed

According to Dell's website:

"Dell Return Policy:

If you'd like to return your Dell order please note:

You must contact Customer Service within 21 days of the invoice date. [When does Dell charge your card?]
Unless the product is defective or the return is a direct result of a Dell error, a restocking fee may apply of up to 15% of the purchase price paid, plus any applicable sales tax.

21-Day Return Period for Certain Hardware and Software Products and Accessories: Unless you have a separate agreement with Dell, or except as provided below [no exceptions listed], all hardware, accessories, peripherals, parts, and media-based software that is unopened and still in its sealed package or, if delivered electronically, that has not been downloaded, may be returned within 21 days from the date on the packing slip or invoice for a credit or a refund of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking fees."

Amazon USA's return policy:

"Returning Cell Phones
You may return a cell phone within the first 30 days after delivery."

FYI, this coupon (http://www.dealcatcher.com/phones-ce...hone-pre-order) expires tomorrow the 6th.

EDIT: I'm sticking with Amazon. The $100 savings to go with Dell is not insignificant, but there are too many risks in case of a needed return. I THINK the N900 will be the phone for me but am not entirely sure (lots of GPS and sync questions). And I need a replacement for my Palm Treo 750 as it is slowly dying and I don't want to be left without while waiting for Dell to ship, assuming they ship after Amazon.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Maybe now that everyone has gone and ordered from Dell, with a delivery date of 12/10/09, this thread is going to go to sleep for a while...;)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Unless someone happens to be narcoleptic, 287,328 sleeps till the N900!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

hope dell ships earlierr

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

the title of the article says it all for me, these dates are just spreading like a virus from one source what you can't trust.
It's in the Rumours section which totally invalidates is solid date title

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I just ordered from Dell. The first preorder I've placed for the n900. I was probably going to end up waiting for several months anyway because I'm not paying 500+ dollars on a phone. I just can't.

I figure though, that even if I don't like the phone and want to get rid of it, if it sells for $500 on ebay, i'll still be making money on it.

I think a price of $500 would be a sure seller on ebay, considering the n97 launched with a similar price and is STILL fluctuating between 530 and 550 on amazon.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

mushroom mushroom, I think I see a n900 ;-)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I am on the dell boat fellas

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

How fast is that boat?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I just got on the boat too!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

hey N900 waiters lol just like me...

I thought i post this little info, because in all my research I never came across it,

I messaged NOKIA CARE Uk about the difference between US and UK version of the N900. they told me that the in the UK version there are some preloaded applications and ready installed. If you ordered the US version (like me) we can download these applications and install them no problem :)

cheers....I just hope that I wake up tomorrow morning and check this thread and find that it has been released!!!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It does not really matter does it. After all, I have waited 2+ months for this device to come. I can certainly wait some additional days hanging on my N95. Besides, nobody is really sure if the release date is 11/06/09 or "End of November 2009". And even the date Dell provided (12/10/09) is not certain. The only person or groups of persons that know for sure (or don't know ) when the device will be released is Nokia. It is probable that dell simply provided that date to avoid people from calling and "checking on their order" in the event that Nokia flakes on the release date again. All the other vendor simply have speculated dates simply to attract potential buyers.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

The closer it gets the more time it takes.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I cancelled my N900 order and switched to Dell too. Even with upgrading to overnight shipping, I'm still saving $100.

For what it's worth, when I ordered an XPS Gen 2 from Dell some four and a half years ago, it estimated shipping in 2-3 weeks then shipped in one, so I think Dell just tries to be conservative with their estimates - if it's released sooner, I think Dell will ship then.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think thats called inertia :D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

/agree.
We order a ton of stuff from Dell and it's almost always delivered considerably earlier than promised.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

could you explain that? i just read about inertia but i cant see the connection

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I was today in London Heathrow Terminal 5, the Nokia store and they had 4 N900s on display, free for all to play with.

They're only there since Saturday, according the Sales rep. (aka local Product specialist)

The phones themselves were on pre-order only. I didn't check the price as I had my pre-order already via the online store.

The models to play with were all pre-release models, there were sometimes funny things with downloads, strange colorbands when taking a photo etc. But overall useful.

At least they were there. Very prominent, at the front of the store, big TV screens behind them promoting the N900. So Nokia does want to sell them :)

Also according to the Sales guy, they were not even in the flagship store in London city centre yet. Heathrow T5 had the real shop scoop for the UK, he was very proud of that.

He also said he hadn't received a firm release date from the marketing guys.

Anyway, the hour I've been playing with it makes me want it even more :)

Just my 2 cents in this (hopefully soon ending) release date saga.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

its actually has to do with speed and friction, the faster an object goes the more friction it encounters, this friction or build up of resistive energy is called inertia.

Now i was making a joke based on "The closer it gets the more time it takes", so the time thats building up while the official release date gets near is the friction i am calling inertia. :)


And now that this is explained the joke is now dead :-(

update: after looking up inertia to make sure I was saying things right, this meaning is the intended use of the word: b) an analogous property of a force

Thanks for keeping me up reading about inertia, Newton, Eistein, Asimov, theory of relativity, inertial mass, inertial frame, special relativity, etc :mad: ;)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Watch out for items shipped early from Dell... I ordered a monitor from Dell a few years back which shipped 2-3 weeks early, but then sat in a UPS warehouse somewhere because Dell told them not to deliver until the original date. I used overnight shipping and for over a week I watched the tracking info show no movement from after the package was picked up. I contacted UPS who said it wasn't being delivered per the shipper's request. I suppose once it did move it would have done so overnight, but I wasn't waiting to find out. Dell did solve the problem within a few days, and eventually refunded the difference for overnight shipping.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I woulda called up UPS and told em I was coming to get it. Done it before

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Anyone in London today can see the N900 (8 of them) on display at the Nokia Flagship store on regent street, they got them in yesterday to demo to customers, and today (friday 6th) will have techies/hackers/nokia staff on hand showing off the abilities that we've seen. Plugged in to big screens etc

went after work last night, used one for about 20 minutes with one of the reps, a lot smaller than i was expecting (in a good way)

Asked the guy if he knew when they'd have them in and he said probably 2 weeks, but he doesn't have firm date

THink i will be swingin by again today ;-)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It seems there is a new generation of internet computer worm on tour. It leaves randomly generated N900 release dates on web sites all over the world. Rumors suspect that the source of infection may be somewhere on talk.maemo.org ...
