THE CAKE IS A LIE!!

But anyway, I believe that the first ones to pre-order (direct from Nokia) will get their devices at the end of the month and the rest will start getting theirs from the beginning of the next month.

Also, I just got off of the chat with Nokia USA, they said by the end of this month. But I'm sticking to Newegg's 14th.

While their order site was saying end of october at the phone they where saying mid november. NOw their site is end of november they will soon say mid december.

Eesh, if that is the case Nokia just guaranteed the next time it comes to get a new device in 4-5 years it won't be Nokia regardless of the benefits of the Maemo platform. Besides if Maemo is any good Android and the others are sure to take notice and retool themselves to absorb Maemo's benefits anyway.

Ah, I want to play it (finishing the last airplane mission on Vet) was fun. Though I thought Rainbow Six Vegas on realistic was harder. Let me know if they took out those annoying infinite respawns (they said they would).

Maybe this thread needs a theme song?

YES: Release, Release
(Jon Anderson/Alan White/Chris Squire)

Have you heard before, hit it out, don't look back
Rock is the medium of our generation
Stand for every right, kick it out, hear you shout
For the right of all of creation

We've heard before, but we just don't seem to move
The pressure's on is there lack of concentration

Power defy our needs, lift us up, show us now
Show us how amid the rack of confusion
Drive in thoughts of high, satisfy, in a plan
Set it out for all to understand it

We've heard before, but we just don't seem to move
The pressure's on is there lack of concentraion

Lost and wondering, maybe, how it is
Seems to me, it's as simple as this
No matter, where you go, you're going to find
You won't see me in front, but you can't leave me behind

Power at first to the needs of each others' days
Simple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling ways
All unaccounted for in the craziness of power
In the craziness
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brother
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sister
Release, release, enough controllers
Show some signs of appreciated loyalties
Release, release, enough controllers
Show some signs of appreciated loyalties

Straight jacket, freedom's march, is it all, far beyond
Our reason of understanding
Campaign everything, anti-right, anti-left
Anticipate the love of creation

Stand for every right
Kick it out, hear you shout
Further the right
Further the right
Further the right
Of all of creation

Power at first to the needs of each others' days
Simple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling ways
All unaccounted for in the craziness of power
In the craziness
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brother
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sister
Release, release
Release, release
Release, release
Release, release

Since, as far as I'm aware, the ARM processors are still 32 bit designs the N900 is presumably going to go horribly wrong in 2038, so Nokia had better hurry up with this release.

Latest news:

Nokia have just announced the N900 is actually an April Fool joke, and is not actually real...
The announcement was originally to be made on April 1st 2009, but was delayed due to Nokia being the jokers they are.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
Today, I went to the Flagship store here in Chicago after work and decided I too wanted to finally see in PERSON what I preordered a while ago. So I asked if they had one and they said "No, they're not out yet", and I said I meant a demo unit, and still, didn't have one.
BUT! The intriguing thing? The employee took an N900 out of his pocket and said "well, this is my personal one, but you can play with it for a minute, just don't go through my contacts or texts or anything"
And I LOVED it. It was everything I wanted, in such a short playaround. Everything felt crisp, snappy, and the size was actually really nice.
..Then, the bad news. I asked about a release. First he said "tomorrow", then felt really bad when my eyes lit up and said "..kidding. HOPEFULLY within two weeks. But to be honest man, they won't give us a date because they don't want us calling and *****ing them out when we don't have any phones by the date they promised us. Just keep your fingers crossed, man. It's all you can hope for right now"..
they don't even have a hard date here in the US, or at least won't tell me. And he said two weeks, hopefully :(
I know it'll be worth it, but damn it I want it nowww!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
That's quite weird, even the Flagship store in NYC has it. My first visit there was around mid October, so I would assume they had it for a while already.

To be honest, I've been there for about 4 times because I was getting restless and was trying out new stuff that I read about. Ironically, the one in NYC doesn't seem to have hover mode.

Yep. I also heard there is misunderstanding about the announced release date. The head of the Nokia apparently aren't good with English so the translator misunderstood him and thought the release date is this year....Nov...but it's actually Nov next year.

I'm totally certain of the above, because my source proved to have a 100% track record for forecasts like this.

So, all the pre-order cancellers, get back on board this instant! We need you!

But it's true though, if the device was available when they first said so, most people wouldn't have heard about it & the rest who knew about it, wouldn't have put so much thought & strength into a device because it wouldn't be such a hype, just "another one".

Is anyone catching my drift? ;)

I'm catching it brother

If that is the case, Then its a stupid strategy which has achieved nothing but put nokia in bad press and made them to lose customers. This whole N900 fisaco puts to question nokia's credibility and ability to deliver and puts a question mark on the N900. After the N900 was announced, The Droid, The Droid Eris and HTC HD2 were all announced and all have been released. The Nokia N900 is only been waited for by Nokia's /Maemo strong believers (The very people Nokia is calling Ridiculous ) everyone who just wanted the next iPhone killer has gone for an android device. The Fact that Nokia can.t even come out to give us updates on the status of the phone, or even commit to a release schedule (beside we would release when its ready) tells that something somewhere is not right with the device, and i doubt its a software problem. I pre-ordered the phone in September hoping to have something for before xmass, now the chances of that happening is very slim. As it is we don't even know when this thing is expected to release (This month, Next month, January? ) to be frank I have completely lost confident in Nokia's ability to deliver. And their handling of their core customers leaves much to be desired. I think the iphone and anything built on java sucks, But being taking for granted sucks more

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
i was actually surprised when seeing a nokia employee on a public forum like this.

i do not know who came up with the idea that it is weird of nokia not to comment here but whoever started it is probably 12 year old.

or has a mental age of 12. (18 with iq of 66.) or 8 with an iq of 150 :P

so for whoever here is so damn certain he or she is never gonna be president and is never able to give a speech anywhere else and therefor starts speeching here, get the fsck out of here i am not looking for speeches, i am just hoping to see the first 'yes i got it' post.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 
I guess for the meantime this is as official of a release date that you guys are gonna get.
Went to nokia.fi store to horse around and they added info on the description that shipping starts week 48 (end of the month)...

Thank me when the phone has arrived cos I'm still doubtful =/

Nokia Finland has now information that they will post preordered devices at week 48 to those who has ordered it from Finland. My n900 comes later than that :(, i hope you guys get your device earlier :)
