Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

lol, god damn those motherf#ckers. They still haven't shipped out the preorders from 11/5 and they are listing them as available again! This is not good news, it means the more orders they take the less chance we will receive ours since theres no logical pattern to their delivery.

On a side note, while it sucks to have your shipment delayed, the reason i am complaining is not because my shipment is taking a long time or because its delayed. That alone is not grounds for a complaint. I am pissed off because i placed my preorder on 11/5/2009 and Dell proceeded to deliver phones to people who ordered over a month later. That is grounds for a complaint because its bad business practices. Picture this scenario, you go to a restaurant and its busy so there's a wait and you put your name on the list, then they immediately sat people who showed up an hour later. Infuriating.

I sure hope this next batch have fixed the 'possible' hardware issues.. imagine finally getting the unit from dell and then having to repeat the exact same nightmare again on an exchange unit!

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

After much heart ache, I called Amazon just to inquire about my order ( which was placed on 14 Dec ) and if they even had the phone in stock... well the guy told me the world wide distibutor had it in stock, but regaurd less of them my order was showing it would ship tomorrow and be deliverd by monday the 21 Dec! oh I it was such good news, I was so estatic that the guy laughed :p... I hope that means the same for others who orders around my time ( so check your gmail of what ever between now and tomorrow for that shipped confirmation noticed ) now if it doesnt make it by Monday i wont be laughing and neither will he, jk lol;)

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Yeah, still have my 11/05 Dell order. But, just ordered from Nokia today for about $613. Most definitely returning it in within the two week grace period. should have it by early next week, as I was called today by their reps and told it was in stock. Just trying to stick it to Nokia a bit for messing with my order and seeing if the N900 is really worth the wait or I should just jump ship.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Dell bumped my shipping date from 12/27/09 and shipped it today. It was shipped from ONTARIO, CA. Hopefully everyone else was as luck as me.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Mine shipped today too but no tracking information. Delivery ETA is still 2/9/2010

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Do you mean it shipped in December and the estimated delivery date is still in mid February? or that the original shipping date was 2/9?

Their system should update the delivery date once they ship (like everybody else does), unless they use snails to carry it to you.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Looks like my Dell order shipped yesterday, too. Order was placed on Black Friday using the 20% Bing Cashback. Shipped out of Ontario, CA and will arrive early next week.

Probably coincidence, but I had just sent them a pretty nasty email detailing my horrible experience with this order (numerous promises made, broken and/or ignored).

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

The original and current delivery date is 02/09/10. However I have received the tracking information(delivery on 12/21) and I believe it is actually shipped.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

you guys are lucky that yours shipped. Mine has an estimated date of 1/8/09 hopefully mine ships today as well. Crossing my fingers.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Congrats to you guys getting them.

Seeing all of this unfold the way it is truly makes me a sad panda.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

MMmmm mine just shipped. I ordered 11/5 and last had an estimate of Jan 20 2010. It just changed to shipped an hour ago to NJ. Estimated Dec 23.

I had just sent an email to Dell asking where my order was 3 hours ago, but I think thats just co-incidence.

I now pray for zero hardware issues or I'll have to re-live this nightmare again..

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Well I'll be damned. Mine also shows as shipped. Ordered 11/5, estimated delivery 12/23.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

So do you 11/5 orders think the Nokia rebate will work since the packing slip only shows ship date while the invoice through the dell site shows order & ship date.

Btw, soon to be new members of the n900 club I'm so offering the highly regarded Vikuiti DQC-160 crystal clear screen protector for sale $11/each.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Seems like a batch went out then.. Order date 11/5, Est was Jan 10/09, shipped 5 min ago. What a saga ~

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

A sad panda, no more... mine is shipped as well. It will be here on 12/23, two days before my birthday. :)

Time to go to bed. Good luck to everyone else waiting as well.

EDIT: Hmmm... it was supposed to be next day shipping, but I DEFINITELY won't complain at this point. I'll wait a few more days. Spreadsheet updated.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Ordered on 11/5. Many of us did.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Got it delivered today. Mic works so far. My first impressions are(whatever I have played with so far):

No WOW factor so far(mainly because I had 5800 for a while before buying this one)

Better Screen resolution and default font size. Able to read clearly without zooming in.

Email hangs up once in a while(both gmail and nokia messaging(hotmail/yahoo). I hardly have 10 mails in inbox. More frustrating one for me is I'm not sure when it would show the inbox folder. I had to go back and forth for it show the inbox folder most of the times)

No Exchange 2003 support yet (I feel 5800 had better email support/options). I can't check my work email and calendar.

No portrait view except for phone mode. It is kind of weird way of getting in to phone mode as well. Not intuitive.

This phone(in the current state) is definitely not for non-tech users.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Is there any one that ordered on 11/5 who's device has not shipped? If not, we should let this thread die.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Until Dell works through the remainder of its order backlog, this thread will be useful to those of us who are waiting on them.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

I don't mean to delete it, just that questions from people who are making new orders from Dell are not relevant to this thread. All the info will still be there, available through search (especially so through Power Search).

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Mine arrived this morning. Hope it works.

I updated the spread sheet.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Did you contact Dell about your order? Just curious because my order was on 12/8, too. I would really like to get it in time to send in the rebate.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

I did emailed them on dec 18th regarding the same isue,, but i never got a reply ,, i was planning to call tomorrow again,,,

I hope urs gets shipped soon

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

Well i guess I'll go post in the Amazon thread but figured since I also had an order with Dell, I should also post here about my luck with them, or lack there of... Dell has been way to busy to even answer my phone calls, every time I call I'm put through a marathon of people to just be placed on hold for the right department. I was most recently put on hold for 20 minutes with no one to help me ( not to mention the automated operator kept interupting the music that was keeping me calm:mad:). They seem to respond to emails fairly fast, but the response is never adequate enough to me. So since I had another order with Amazon they shipped yesterday with a delivery date of the 23 ( plus the time it takes to be forwarded to my APO in Korea) but all in all I'm glad:).

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 

They must have more supply now since I called today for a refund & the rep convince me to just exchange it & it looks like it'll arrive next day via fedex from Ontario, California.
