So Nitchers/KingofKings, where can I get my raffle ticket again?

Don't be sad though, just keep singing this song and everything will be OK:

N900 comes out
Tomorrow
Bet Six Hundred Dollars that Tomorrow
Maemo comes!

Just thinking about
Tomorrow
Clears away the iPhones and WinMobiles
They're no fun!

When there's no shipping date
That's soon
or Certain
I just post on the web
this thread
and say...

oh!
N900 Comes out
Tomorrow
Just watch this thread for posts
until Tomorrow
(read each one!)

Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
Please Come out
Tomorrow,

Stop being a day a-way.

Right. Bad news.

Just phoned up King of Gadgets and they said Vofafone have exclusive rights. He also mentioned that Sim free users wont see this phone until Christmas time.

He had recieved word from Nokia around 10 minutes ago.

I wonder if Nokia employes have some kind of game to call every shop in UK and tell them all kinds of stories till customers are confused enough not to care when it comes out.
Or these shops just talk out of their *** ;)

Let me guess!
You called customer service, and they sent you to the "higher ranking" seller!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
The undercurrent feeling that Nokia did not build enough N900s for the demand seems strange to me. I remember talking to Nokia in 2003 about minimum number of units for a "run" of a model. They were talking minimum of 1 million or it's not worth their time. Of course, the N770/800/810 had to have been quite small in number. For the amount of marketing they have been producing for this model, I would think they would have built plenty to satisfy the demand.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Just to add to this neurotic inferno, I rang Nokia UK direct sales a minute ago and the gentleman said that they still hoped to ship today. Something about the way he said it though implied to me that they don't actually have the units in yet. I also asked him whether - if it didn't ship today - it would be another whole week until the next potential shipping date. He said that no, if they didn't get them out today it could be Tuesday or Wednesday etc.

right... possibly best just to do it in date format

ie
sept -
we all preordered

oct -
rumours spread
nokia failed
nokia failed again
more rumours

november -
Lots of rumour dates nuk nuk pre-emptivelyfailing - but hopefully not
9th nov - still fail, no deliveries, and no confirmation
1pm - watch this space! :)

you scared them away, only 324 now...

possibly - we seem to be hovering around that number.... new total viewers record earlier too :)

but none of them has a n900! :( :( (Well, not final release anyway)

zico 2009-11-09 12:21

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Ok lads this is the summary:

- Nokia had October as release date for the N900, as we all know that didnt work out very well.

- People complained and etc, suddenly Peter from the Maemo team posts the following:

Ladies, gentlemen,

"as much as I love the discussion, are you sure you want to continue these threads endlessly? The day we start shipping you will see a Nokia press release announcing just that. 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 also that they expect shipping during November.

- Until today, we have heard nothing from him.
- The UK lads gets a specific release date, and that is today, the 9th of November, and that date is confirmed to many users here, and under a long time.
Even i got an email yesterday confirming that the release is going just as planned.

- Today, there is nothing new, no press release, nothing changed on Nokias online shops, no email confirmation that it has been sent.

- The only thing that we have today is that some of the users have been charged for the payment of the N900.

Here you go, the 2000-post-summary.
