But he already knows all that. He's just a PITA. :D

Woo! Already bought my mini9 to satisfy my new portable gadget itch. Hopefully, this will buy me some patience until this new device comes out. heheh :) I would like to see it sooner than later, but now that I can't afford it again--I can certainly wait.

OK.. so, now.. Nokia.. take your time. ;)

Hey, come on--I gotta stir up the crowd either way!

It's funny that usually with the tablets they start selling a short time after the official announcement.

Yes, the N97 is a case in point - announced way in advance of release.
Many - in fact most cm[panies tend to do this.

I wish with the Tablets Nokia is somwhat like Apple (oh there we go again - another apple comparison) - make an announcement and start selling the day after.

Of course I do know that with the N800 it started selling the day before. So I am not really taking issues with Nokia and its tablet strategy.

This is exactly what I did, but the damn thing may never ship, so it's not helping much. :mad:

For the Mini 9, try the Dell Outlet store, cheaper and ships the same day.

Oh, and I hear Mac OS X runs beautifully on it.

Augh, don't remind me. I'm trying to keep my credit card in my pocket.

It won't run the Pro Apps. It won't run the Pro Apps. It won't run the Pro Apps...

Ach, there's always something else to buy while waiting for new stuff. I am, for example, waiting for the Pandora, then I can start waiting for anything new from Nokia later. As the Pandora is delayed there was too much unplanned waiting, which I filled in by ordering a new guitar amp. Got it yesterday, yay! Now hoping that the gap until the Pandora won't be too long, but there's a chance that new company phones will enter in the meantime. Or, maybe the Beagleboard rev. C comes at the end of March, then I can order one and wait for it. I'm not waiting for the OP to stop whining about Nokia though, because I don't think that will ever happen.. ;)

Does it strike anybody as odd that N810 supplies seem to be practically dried up? Many online retailers (e-tailors, if you will) seem to have none or very few units available. The prices on Ebay have soared of late, with few deals to be found (a sign of low supply?).

Could this be the calm before the storm? The N810WME was announced on April 1st. Could this be the magic date the N900 is released on?

I'm just about to purchase an N810, but my gut says wait a wee bit.

What do you all think? I really need your help!


}:^)~
YARR!

Cappy needs helpy
