Depends on the batch size.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

I just sent Amazon USA the following e-mail and am awaiting the reply. I'll post again when I get it.

"I have a few questions regarding a pre-order I have for a Nokia N900:

1.) I pre-ordered this phone on Oct. 20 and the $50.00 rebate that Nokia has available requires a purchase date between Nov. 16, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2009. It is my understanding that when my receipt is issued by Amazon, the "purchase date" that will be printed will be my pre-order date of Oct. 20, thereby rendering me ineligible for the rebate with Nokia. Is this correct?

2.) If I would be ineligible for the rebate as outlined above, and I wished to cancel my existing order and enter a re-order, the "ship date" changes from "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date" on the existing order to "your items will arrive after December 25, 2009" on a new pre-order. Does Amazon maintain a shipping "line", meaning the people who pre-ordered first will get the phone shipped to them first? Did Amazon not order enough phones to cover any potential pre-orders? I am confused by this Dec. 25 date and will not re-order if I then will have to wait many weeks past when I originally would have been shipped the phone. Please advise.

There is a lot of conflicting information posted on various message boards regarding these topics and I would appreciate it if you would answer my questions above to the best of your knowledge and Amazon's policies.

Thank you for your time."

Some of you may feel that these questions have been answered to your satisfaction but I still do not feel that way, and still may not after I receive the reply from Amazon. Their reply could clarify these questions or it may add to the confusion.

Cheater, I hope its Monday or Tuesday!

Re: N900 shipping delayed

If there is little to no shipment activity next week, this will confirm that the few hundred units that appeared at high profile Nokia stores was just to play us all in thinking they are really shipping in mass to customers. Seems like a controlled amount of product was made available, but not long to find out.

Little to nothing this coming week and we were played :eek:

On a sidenote, I just received the N86 I ordered for my wife. To me the N86 is nothing but a "N95-5", a updated shell and camera (+fm transmitter). It reminds me so much of my beloved N95-1 that if it weren´t for the bigger screen resolution of the N900, I´d just stick to a N86. And then again the only reason for going for the bigger screen resolution is GPS navigation.

Touchscreen is fun and all, but in the same way that I can get by without one on my computer, I can get by without one on my phone.

For what it's worth, while I did get my N900 at the flagship store, I also had an open N900 order through NokiaUSA (my goal was to cancel the online order after I had finished my flagship transaction), but by the time I got home, I had this email in my inbox from NokiaUSA:

Your preorder is being prepared for shipment. Your credit card will be charged when the product(s) will be shipped and you will receive a Shipment confirmation email from us.

Your order details
Order number : XXXXXX
Order date : 11.11.2009

Contact details :
Card holder : [redacted]
Card :[redacted]
[redacted]

Delivery details :
Recipient : [redacted]
Delivery method : Express 1-3 days

Order summary :
Qty/Description : 1 /Nokia N900 black
Discount :$0.00
Subtotal :$649.00
Delivery cost :$9.99
Sales tax :$58.04
Order total :$717.03

I can confirm that Nokia authorized my card yesterday in that amount, (this is the first authorization I received on the card since placing the order).

I should also note that I tried to cancel my order by calling them but they said the order was released to shipping so the only thing I can do is return it to them for a refund after I receive it.
