Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation
 

By the sound of it (Nokia officials) - the lead in from announcement to availability is going to be short (and sweet).

The N800 was sighted in stores even before it had been announced by Nokia. :)

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation
 

CompUSA had them in stock (and some stores put them out early). The N800 was announced on January 8th, 2008. I got mine from CompUSA on the 7th, personally.

So, a warning for all you retailers out there. Beware Nokia's wrath. Why else do you think such a strong retail chain fell so fast? :D

Cool! I have $99 to spare, where can I buy one? (but only if it runs Linux and its drivers are open)

Still no announcement - very disappointed - Thoughtfix was wrong

• What does it mean for Nokia, Microsoft, grocery stores ???

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation
 

I think it was on December when Nokia announced the n97, and i was really excited for a new Internet Tablet, but i was disappointed, and seeing the tendency of the MWC seems to be leaking new phones to the press and i think that by now we should have seen a new IT. My personal opinion is that we will not see a new IT, although i have my fingers crossed.

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation
 

we have known for years that the nokia internet tablet is not a phone.
why on earth would nokia choose a mobile phone conference to announce it?

anyone with more info on previous releases have a list of the actual release events from those?

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation
 

besides, i for one would prefer to hear "we are announcing the new nokia internet tablet running maemo 5, today.

here, buy one and take it home.

not some silly months prior paper launch :)

• 25 May 2005, Nokia 770 announced at LinuxWorld Summit in New York, USA
• 8 January 2007, Nokia N800 announced at CES in Las Vegas, USA
• 17 October 2007, Nokia N810 announced at Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, USA
• 1 April 2008, Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition announced in Espoo, Finland

Therefore, as Nokia intends the next Maemo device to be successful, they will announce it at a large event within the United States. No more little ceremonies at home, and Barcelona is just too risky.

Peter from Nokia Marketing said we're not getting any announcement, at least until they drop the final alpha SDK:

I was looking forward to the SDK with UI framework. Now I'm even more interested, because that's how Nokia's playing it this time. The SDKs are their announcements, just how geeks like it; you have to puzzle out the details by poking around in the code. It's a kind of game...
