Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I've held my tongue for as long as I can. This is an utter utter shambles and Nokia should be absolutely shamed of themselves. They posted to let us know they were shipping (whatever that means) and since then nothing. As my boss always tells - +2 points for good news, +1 point for bad news, -100 points for no news.

If it's dealyed then so be it - but tell me. I had to apply for PAC to get my phone number transfered. It's only valid for 30 days so what should I do? No idea because they won't tell me.

When even their supplier in the UK says 'There have been no dates given. As soon as there is concrete and definite ETA’s then the website will be updated as soon as we know' you have to question the point of telling us that 'shipping has started'.

I'm sorry. This is my first post here and it adds no value. But really - I needed to say something. Nokia - just tell me the facts.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I will receive my "phone" somewhere between 4th and 7th... i depends of a postal service, hopefully 4th of december.

i dont mind waiting few weeks, because i know i have plenty of time to play with it when it comes :=D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Be careful though wizbowes, you may incur the wrath of the Nokia defenders on this forum who seem to object to us wanting some basic, accurate and up to date information.

They will tell you there have been NO delays.
They will explain the logistics of shipping to you.
They will moan about you moaning.

Having said that, not heard any of them pipe up of late.

You still there? :rolleyes:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

What are all these people doing with their other hand?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I think the reason Nokia told us they were shipping was so they didn't lose to much custom to The Droid and the HTC HD2 I mean if they said were still not shipping people would have cancelled their pre-orders and gone with another device.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Ok, another potentially useless update bt here we go...

I just called customer services with a specific order number and asked for a status on the order rather than a generic N900 availability request.

The lady on the other end tapped away before coming back with an answer that they would start shipping to end customers on Monday 23rd November. (Make of that what you will).

I asked for who they were using to courier in the UK and was told my express shipment was via UPS and that they would be emailing the tracking numbers out after the initial 'we are shipping' email.

Hope this is of some interest to someone!

Driving, clearly

(seriously though, I've looked things up online with one hand whilst driving on my p990, although if the police ask, I never did)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I actually feel Nokia Germany has been fairly consistent. In October I was given a delivery date in October, when it was obvious that was not met, they quoted me November 25 and have stuck to that date no matter who I called or emailed. Because of that consistency, I've always expected Nov. 25th and was not shocked, surprised or pissed off when Nov. 16th passed with no news about the N900 at retailers. I know I'll have it before December. If you can't trust Germans, who can you trust! I even think it's the motto of Germany right?? "If you can't trust us concerning the N900, who can you trust?? ;) Could be wrong though...:D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Ha! thats call business/marketing strategy. Im sure it works well for Nokia to keep their customer with them

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

All the uk need's is for royal mail to go on strike, when the phone is ACTUALLY Released "let me elaborate" (i mean the n900 is in the post, with my address written on it) If that actually happens i will go ape shi*. Unless MPD use another curier.

our process "moan, moan, complain, empty threat, moan, sulk, insult nokia, moan, empty threat, sulk more"

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Just another day :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

if this is the reason why they did this they really played us for suckers ....
And sorry, but after the yesterday/today disaster a lot of people (I know 3 friends) and myself canceled the preorder and switched to "Droid"
Not because the Droid is better or it's easier to develop for it - for sure not. The N900 is by far the better device - it's just because of this pack of lies and the never ending delays.
We really had patience with Nokia but this has to end sometime and this point is reached. I'm sorry for myself if they start to deliver tomorrow or on Monday (whenever) but that's my firm conviction.
Oh Nokia ... did I say that I've bought an E90, 9500, N96, ... from you in former days? We'll see in about 5 years if you learned how to deal with loyal customers.

Now back to normal life :cool:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Well, I know you and your friends will be back to Nokia :D and good luck with your Driod!!!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

No you don't know that. Nokia is increasingly losing market share and their antics with release have not helped one bit.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

People, calm down and wait till tomorrow, cause then we are supposed to start getting the email saying we are charged and phone is on the way. Im pretty sure, someone will post here, when they get that email :)

Just 1 more day, I know you people can do it, keep that negativity inside just that long. If nothing happens tomorrow, we can all go drink like crazy, and use all that N900 money on booze :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Hmm :p Nokia losing money or market not my concern :> All i want now is my N900 :) That is why we are all here talking abt this phone. :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Yes we should stick to bashing people for having legitimate complaints instead. Tosser.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Totally agreed...final count down is here!!! :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

what?

I can hear you!

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

decision is made ... and I told you the requirement to go back to nokia
:D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Yes You can
:D

Email received from the majority of Italian customers.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Given the seeming absurdity with N900 status, this makes more sense than anything else.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Credit cards are also charged In Italy

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Personally I think the attention and drama that this device and the delay has caused is quite amusing. Its been all over every tech blog I've seen about the delay, its getting alot more press than it would have if it would have just been released. I think this has also made some people even more eager to get the device. I am sad at the moment because I don't have the device and you Droid owners maybe happy now, but I guarantee that I'll be happier when I get my N900 and you will be sad when you see people with the N900 and you have to put your Droid away and drool at some body else's N900....

Hold in there people not long left.

:D :D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Charged allready or getting charged by tomorrow? I cant check my CC statement atm, cause Im sitting in Maemo programming course. :)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Any press is good press?

I would think Nokia, with their dwindling share of the market would be trying to get good press, all the way.

I dont want to be a 'nokia basher' or anything like that, Im not a fanboy or a geek, I just want a new phone. I just think this could have been handled far, far better by Nokia than it has been. Having problems is one thing, communicating with your (potential) customers is another.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Server Error, on View invoice on Nokia pre order hmmmmmmmmm

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Yeah I also think it could have been handled ALOT better, but then again what's done is done.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will not cancel my order and sacrifice functions and features for a lesser device because of a delay.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Very nice :) Germany for the win ^^
I mean, I personally was pissed of, i preordered in august they said first october, then 12th, then 30st, and then 25th nov...

So, there WAS a delay even at nokia.de

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Is it necessary to repeat the same content again and again and again and again and again and again and again? And then again?

Please stop doing that.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

"UPDATE FROM NOKIA FLAGSHIP STORE REGENT STREET:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
