Umm, I take it all you guys do know that the N900 is just an electronic gadget?

I mean, if you set yourself up with a case of techno-lust you're just going to be disappointed the morning after, when you realise that it's just a piece of plastic and metal after all, and that you need to drop the lust and set up a good working relationship instead.

The post/hour rate will increase to 400, when some of us are lucky N900 users and some others are still waiting. Perhaps this will happen in a few hours:mad:

Indeed. Life is just a bunch of boring chemical reactions if you really want to get down to the nub of the matter. Eat, crap, sleep, breed, that is all we are intended to do. How pointless is that?

And pre-ordering electronic devices that we'll probably forget about in an year or so.

Damn, I love my life!:D

That's it, I've had it, I'm off to buy an iDroid, or an Androphone or whatever it is they're called. I've bought my last Nokia, it's the finnish for me, burble, spit

eiffel, i do not understand what you mean by "a good working relationship". (this is not a joke i really do not understand.)

You mean like a relationship with a woman? or a work-relationship as in relationship with your work? or relationship that works with you and your n900? it'll probably won't be the last of the 3.
i think you mean the first. but what does that have to do with the n900? women cost money. n900 only costs money once and you get to play with her for a few years. :P that sounds crazy but. okay i'll keep checking this thread for a reply. thanks in advance.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Peter specifically said that nobody will magically start shipping them until AFTER the press release, which kinda implies we would know a day or two before they arrive in any warehouse, never mind shipping to the end-user.

So unless he was lying there is no chance whatsoever.

I think what he said was there will be a press release when it starts shipping which is normally the same day as release . This has already been debated previously in this thread .

Best case is we will hear something at the end of the week, but my bet is Nov 16th will be the day. If not, we might be looking at December....

Hmmm, typing this on my G1 is a pain, so I hope the N900 is more ergonomical. Seriously, typing on G1 is a pain and would be pure torture on the Droid. Seriously.

Peter "Delaymo" says

My vision of MAEMO is: "Delay and pre-order more Nokia N900"

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Another thing to consider is since Nokia knows the N900 has high consumer and media interest, you would think they would be eager to set a date publicly when they are at the point to box them. I suggest there may be still some issues they are sorting out, hence the vagueness.

read peter's post about it to know for sure. you can debate on the subject with obama, bin laden and bill gates if you want to for 10 years time but it wont change what he actually said.

Golf is boring without even trying to make it sound boring with a statement like that... Golf, Bowling etc, are not sports, its just something lazy that often fat men do and then think that they athletes. If you want to do a sport, try Brazilian Jiu Jutsu.

Back to topic:
I CAN'T SLEEP.. Nuknuk & UK lads, post asap in the morning.. hope you guys have good news.

JUST IN :


Guys, i emailed nokia 2 days ago, and said that my friends in UK have been told that the release date for the N900 in the UK, for buyers via nokia online shop is the 9th off nov, and i asked them if there are any changes or what so ever, i just got an answer that goes:


"Thank you for contacting Nokia Care.

I have checked this for you with the Nokia UK Online Shop and they have confirmed that the release date for the Nokia N900 is as planned. But due to the huge response they may not be able to accommodate every orders on the same day but will do so on a "first come first serve basis". So feel free to pre-order as soon as possible so that you will receive your phone early. Standard delivery is free of charge within mainland UK."

Haha I have a 360 too, dunno when I'm going get Borderlands, don't have as much time to play games as I use to.

Maybe we should start a Maemo 360 players group in off-topic?

N900 will NOT ship today (9th Nov) according to Nokia UK
 
I couldn't wait, during meeting tea break I popped out to make a call to Nokia UK. I was told the N900 will start shipping in 10 days (19th Nov)

Back to meeting now, see you all in 10 days!

The first Nokia N900 will not magically appear in some shop suddenly, somewhere, sometime, but we will let you know when we start shipping from the factory.

And yes, we've gotten some decent feedback from the community after the Maemo Summit from those 300 devices we gave out with some things we haven't detected in our usual-for-all-devices testing around the world. Some of this feedback, we want to take into account in both the first sales software release i.e. PR1.0 and some in software updates we provide later this year.
