So bad you have to write the same thing in two threads?

Of course they don't have to mention the expense of getting a decent internet connection on a ship.

Well I had heard the N900 was slow on acquiring a GPS connection but that is a tad mad! LOL

he's been crossposting multiple times already. Always negative stuff.

Dunno what he's trying to achieve.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

NukNuk promised us 1/2 weeks ago that he is getting his. Got confirmation from the almighty Nokia. Poor fellow.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

Why even mention a shipping date? Last monday they issue a press release stating it's being shipped. Motorola/Verizon didn't do that with the Droid. They posted an "available" or drop date. The phone will be available on 6/11/09. So I go to the store on that date, and behold I can buy one. No funny business, just solid communication.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

Negative stuff? Seems that Nokia and their lack of logical PR and product awareness is creating the negativity. Announcing that the N900 is "shipping" (boats from Korea?) when from the consumer perspective this means "shipping to them from seller" only helps create problems.

Nokia is sometimes their own worst competitive enemy.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

"About 12 hours later Dell send me a notice that my order was canceled. I call and they tell me it's a problem with my credit card and I should straighten it up with my issuer. I call the credit card company and nothing's wrong. They actually give me the confirmation number they gave Dell for the authorization request."

I just wanted to add at this point, that DELL seems to act this way when they offer products they are not able to deliver in a given timeframe or at the offered price. Many years ago i wanted to buy a Core 2 Duo Extreme PC and i was quite surprised that DELL offered a C2D extreme System for a good price at a time when the CPU wasn't available on the market at all. I waited and waited for the confirmed delivery and after a while i called them asking "When do i get my PC ?" and they told me that they have problems with my credit card and that the neighborhood i live in is well known for credit card fraud ! Since those days i have no good word left for DELL !
Btw i live in a quite wealthy area :cool:

Then again, us folks in the US are experiencing artificial liquidity due to our government printing money without a correlating growth of our GDP. No wonder gold is in low supply :rolleyes:
