I like Watchdog.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

still: what is wrong with press release words: "in november" == "30.11.2009 or earlier"

so 30.11.2009 it is, you can only be surprised positively unless something unexpected happens (equally possible to date HTC gave)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Yeah, had mine as well now- OK let's see- roll on.. what do we think?... Thursday?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

another dreamer ... come on wake up ... even if it's hard to come back to reality :p

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Apparently the other manufacturers can narrow it down to a day rather than a month (and even at that Nokia still got it wrong). I'm not prepared to treat Nokia like the "special child" of phone manufacturers.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!

Now, if MPD sent that out to all their customers, days ago, they wouldn't be so inundated with requests.

I agree with others on here that it's the frustration of no knowledge, rather than the phone being delayed, that is the source of so much agro on forums like this. Nokia have been terrible with logistics and MPD have been just as bad with customer communication.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i just heard the italian mafia sent a horses head to OPK and 24 hours later, bang the n900 got released in Italy,
all we need in UK is Grant and Phil Mitchell to get involved

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I personaly think that person responsible for all this delay is member of several of this forums and is having great fun watching us cry our hearts for our n900, and waiting for us to just get over it and ONLY than release it to us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Oh- and, I'm sorry, but "week commencing 30th" is the first week in December- NOT the last week of November... 'I know- let's see how far we dare push it...'

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I agree lets send the queen with couple gin tonics and we will have n900 yesterday..... ha aha hahahah

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

And it is a great device! Need my N900 to compare them both, but I will probably have taken this back already- by the time the N900 shows up (whenever).

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

In case anyone has not noticed... the Amazon. com price just bounced up a few dollars....

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

hmm he played character Grant Mitchell in Eastenders, they played hard gangsters types

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

My seller just told me, it has been also released in Germany?!

They'll ship it tomorrow :) Hopefully not a lie...

Re: Chat with MPD confirms December delivery
 

So we have yet an another thread !

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i really dont see a difference giving a strict date vs giving a deadline.

deadline means that you can get your device before the date if all goes well, stright date means either shipping at day given or delay.

reasonable person can look "oh, it is 30.11.2009 or earlier. so i must wait to monday 30.11.2009". if device ships earlier, customer will have happy surprise.

stright date means that you either get the device when announced or be very pissed off.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Nokia france has shipped it's preorders. Nokia France from twitter: Les N900 pré-commandés sur la boutique en ligne Nokia sont dans les mains du transporteur vers leurs futurs heureux utilisateurs ...merci

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Everybody else does and Nokia wants every body else's money. They already have your money (I guess) so great. For everyone else to be happy though they want a proper date and good information or else they'll go spend their money elsewhere.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

i am sorry to inform you but that is straight carricature from this thread....

accusations without any facts and getting rid of fustration by calling nokia names.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

facts, please.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

called nokia flagship again. almost same response as yesterday: no stock, though when pressed on eta, they said we're expecting stock by the end of the month, but possibly by 2nd week of december. wtf

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

you should probably get in the 3 or 4 week if not the end of the December.. but surely Q1 of 2010 :rolleyes:

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

the difference is most other manufacturers don't announce the existence of products until its 100% ready to ship giving them a month to get it to market.
nokia always announce things way earlier than others when phone is in development still ,
so its a choice between openness or not knowing existence until it's ready to hit shops.
the n97 was announced like 7 or 8 months before released, where as the iphone 3GS was announced like 2 weeks before it was in shops.
would you rather not know at all or be part of the ride ?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Well, I asked nokia.uk over e-mail about my order a little over a week ago, and on the 12th they said 'tentative date' the 19th. I should probably have assumed that if the date is still tentative with 1 week to go, then clearly they aren't going to make it.

This morning I received an e-mail from Nokia, first thing...I opened it with excitement to find...it was a request to feed back on their service having contacted them previously. ;-(
No other word from them yet. I've e-mail again to see if we can do better than 'tentative'
It does seem strange that they can't be more fixed in their predictions. And it really is poor that they haven't kept pre-order customers in the loop without us having to chase for details. What could possibly be going on with their logistics if they are unable to specify a date with confidence, when we are supposedly so close to it?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

You know what, I have this horrible, horrible suspicion that Nokia UK & all companies/retailers tasked with sending out N900s to UK customers, will not ship the device until the Hutchinson 3G SIM card software fix is up and running.

I believe from what Peter@Maemo said (in another thread), they were hoping for a software update by December time. Hell, we're getting to December after next week...

Re: Chat with MPD confirms December delivery
 

It confirms **** all - well done!

Re: Chat with MPD confirms December delivery
 

Who's MPD, what is their link?

amazon.com preorders
 

Just FYI

It is possible that we may all of us who preordered on amazon.com may have to pay $610 instead of the $560 most of us are expecting.

Source: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...8502#guarantee

If you read the text of the "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" it specifies that the product must be a "book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item". I believe we should get the lowest price. Hopefully amazon.com does too. I should be hearing back from them regarding this soon. I'll let you all know what they say in the morning if I have the email. Night all! (I'm in Perth, Australia: GMT +8)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

The problem is, Nokia is still half way inbetween. They HAVE to let the cat out of the bag early, because they want community help, they want to get feedback on those 300 etc. So obviously, they cannot wait for the last device to leave the factory. But they have not moved to a true open model, they have only revealed what they have to, and been tight lipped about the rest.

If they would say 'we are working on this right now, hopefully it will be done x, and we can get them out y, for retail by z' if something changes, provide updates. They still want to restrict the flow of data though.

Did anyone else read the article about how the stock price improved since the announcement of USA retail availability yesterday? They want benefits from being open and being closed, and they will find out the flaws of playing middle field like this.

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Nokia France sent me a mail today announcing that the N900 is now available and my order is being shipped

Re: amazon.com preorders
 

Re: amazon.com preorders
 

"Please note that our Pre-Order Price Guarantee applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site."

To be optimistic, the item IS "Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC" as it states on my pre-order. So I am expecting Amazon to stand by their Pre-Order Price Guarantee.

I was early enough in the pre-order line that I had a higher price showing on my invoice when the price dropped. I contacted Amazon at that time who said:

The discounts we offer vary from time to time. I see we currently offer a greater discount on "Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty" than we did at the time you placed order #_.

Since this item hasn't shipped yet, I adjusted the price to reflect the current discounted price, $559.99 . This is the price you'll be charged for this item when the order ships.

SO I am expecting that to be my price (with rebate form in hand... waiting)

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

I just pre-ordered from amazon USA. I thought that if Nokia USA starts shipping this week, well Amazon will ship this Monday max. Am I wrong?

Re: amazon.com preorders
 

So if someone pre-order a device for $500.00 and then went on a vacation only to find out that they been charged $1,000.00 dollar because of a sudden jump in price in which he had no knowledge of...and this is all acceptable?? No way! A lot of time people buy products because of discount...ect. And if the price jump, it's the retailer's fault. They're held accountable and can be charged for misleading information.

Re: amazon.com preorders
 

Well thats good news I guess. Of course how Italy is getting the N900 release in advance of the US etc is beyond me.

Is Italy traditionally a big market for Nokia?

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

Yeah don't they know America is the most important country in the world?
LOL

Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!
 

just got off the phone with Nokia Flagship store in London, they are expecting devices to be in stock 'sometime next week' and expect to know exactly when on Monday...

Re: amazon.com preorders
 

Nope. But Italy's mobile phone carriers dont have issues with Hutchinson 3G SIM cards - it's just these countries seemingly...

"Update: Nokia's official blog says to expect the Maemo 5 device to land in "Europe, the Middle-East, Russia and North America" shortly. However, it won't be compatible with the new 3G SIM cards from 3 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria until a software update hits sometime later this year"
