Are you trying to commit suicide? There are people here that will literary take you down peacefully if you alter these words again.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

THAT is their OUT: No, we said "19th" not the "9th" :)

Wait a second, I thought you all were joking and not actually believing the 9th would be the ship date. You all were serious....

Want to by some beach front property in Idaho? ;)

I wouldn't be that harsh - I'm sure people are more forgiving! :D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

he meant n900 shipping threads :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Just got off the phone with them. 19th is the case, it seems. I'm rather disappointed that they gave a date and then changed it.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well that would be a double negative so 'Everyone is getting anything' :D

Best confirmation of receipt prior to Christmas so far! LOL

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Still a wasted call!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I'm guessing they purposely postpone the date. The later the date, the 'newer' the device it seems for Christmas.

HD2 would seem as an older device than N900.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I had guessed - I was being facetious!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think most people have given up as there is a definate speed increase whn I hit f5 now
Quitting thread in disgust :mad:
back to my job now

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Personally, I more think it has to do with the bad press they might be getting from the charger recall.

Either way, it's a ****ing stupid tactic. Personally, I'm not all that bothered, but I can well imagine some of the other people who were told this date being ticked off enough to go buy one of the other *available* models on the market.

It doesn't matter how good a product is - if it's not available, people won't keep drinking the koolaid forever.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I don't know but tired of waiting since i pre order in September..

I wish they had given a specific date to release their phone..

NOKIA U SOB...

I feel alright now...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Look on the bright side. A number of people have learned an invaluable lesson on how much faith to put in the answers given to them by support staff.

Maybe now they could stop harassing them every single day and wait for the official announcement.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

this is the last time i wait or preorder a phone from ANY cell phone company except for apple

I think Apple is playing their cards correct.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You can't pre-order phones from apple (or in the case of iphone 3GS I think it was only max 1 week before ANNOUNCED release date).

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

To be fair in long run its gone hurt Nokia really bad...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I really don't see what Nokia think they have to gain by lying to people :-(

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well, see, normally, I'd not have paid it any attention. Having worked in a number of support departments in the past, I know what it's like. But having a consistent date being used makes me think there's more to this than just blind invention.

My other theory as to where the 9th came from is that it was a case hf chinese whispers, i.e. it was supposed to be the 19th, but someone somewhere typo'd or misheard the internal communication, and this is the resulting mess that came out of it.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

What will Nokia tell us on the 19th of November? "We're sorry, but try again the 29th of November"?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I'm not bothered about the waiting, I'm bothered about intentionally being mislead by them
nobody can tell me that Nokia did not know it would not ship today when they was telling us up until Friday "yes sir we will ship on the 9th".
shipping does not get cancelled on the day or working day before this decision was made before yet it never stopped them misleading us since they ****ed up there system and cancelled our orders before making us order again. they intentionally mislead us so we would authorise the reorder after they messed up our original order.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well thats ruined my plans for my week off. I was going to spend it getting aquainted with my new toy. Now i'll have to find something else to do.....

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I don't think it was intentional misleading, I think that either someone screwed up and got the date wrong, or the delay has been done to try mitigate any possible bad press over the charger recalls stuff.

Perhaps I'm not being jaded enough, but I think that deliberately doing this would be much worse for them in the longer run.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Uh oh,

I am seeing an algorithm here:

9, 19, 29....

End of the month shipping and early December arrival it is!

I guarantee it! :D

Did you all REALLY believe a sales rep? They are about as distanced from logistics as you can get. We need a Nokia logisitics
person or product marketing person. All others are probably going to be bunk with information.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

That's why I am sticking with D3LL. Nov 9th or Nov 19th or Dec 9th... does not matter because nokia is keeping tight lips on the release date.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

What if they go bankrupt? before shipping date

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

if n900 was released nobody would be talking about the chargers.
releasing good news to cover up bad is well used stunt by corporations and government's, so delay is nothing to do with bad press from chargers imo.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

If the N900 is a good product then a few weeks delay won't impact it. If the N900 is a bad product (cough N97) then being on time wouldn't have helped it.

I think it'll be a good product and I'll be happy to get one in my hands. If that happens before Christmas I'll be happy.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well look at it this way, if they say the 39th of November afterwards we will know not to believe it! :D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Depends how they can spin it. The charger news having gone out at 9AM didn't help.

I'm not saying, comprehensively, that this *is* it, this is just my personal interpretation of what might have happened.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It's hard to see how this could have happened by accident; Nokia UK clearly had a consistent line of the 9th from somewhere and it was clearly posted here; if it wasn't true one of the several Nokia folks here could have just corrected the mistake.

A little honesty really shouldn't be too much to expect.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Who's going to have the 2000 thread?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Come on let's push it to 2000 maybe Peter will give us some news

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Yep the sales support drones can only say the date that's on the screen in front of them.

It might be wise to remember that ALL the current published dates online (including MPD) are all guess work, we will know when the N900 gets released and that when Nokia tells us - not before.

Chill people it's only a phone... ahem... sorry "Mobile Computer". ;)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Did anybody force you to maemo?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It's quite easy to see how it happens, actually.

"So chaps, I just got off the phone with HQ. we finally have a launch date for the N900, part number GONEOQGNEQOGNEQIOG. The 9th of November."

All it needs is one person to mishear or typo from the chain of the person making the decision all the way down to UK retail, and you've got the 9th instead of the 19th.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I don't think Peter will post his comment here again ....
