That is either the beginning or the end of time. Which I think accurately sums up what waiting for a device that is repeatedly delayed feels like. Dell has moved beyond sales, into metaphysics.

I used paypal for my dell order because I had some left over funds in it. Last week or so I checked paypal and it showed that my left over funds went to the dell order. Then when I checked my paypal account today, it showed that my left over funds was credited back to my account. Meaning paypal didn't use the money i had in the account to pay for the dell purchase. WTF.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I don't know if this has been reported, but Dell is selling the N900 again!

Starting Price $599.99
Mail in Rebate $50.00
---------------------------------------
Subtotal $549.99

Could this mean that they have it in stock? :)

Still no change on the Estimated Delivery Date: 12/10/2009. But, seeing that they are selling it again is encouraging. I think we are near the end of the tunnel. :D

Novurania 2009-11-18 14:43

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
They are back on Dell for $599. With the $50 rebate it comes down to $549 I don't see any coupons that will get it below the Amazon price.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I had a dream last night that Dell changed my order from two N900's to four E71's and because the total amount didn't change they wouldn't allow me to change my order. I woke up all freaked out.

I had to share with you guys because if I told my girlfriend she would just get upset and tell me I'm obsessed again.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
I posted this in another thread:

I called Dell. My estimated delivery date is still 12/10 but they were also throwing out 11/24 as being a possible ship date. They talked about a backlog of preorders as being a reason for delay. I could be totally wrong but it sounded like they will start shipping on 11/24. I am not super high on the list and they are backlogged so the supposed maximum time for my delivery is 12/10.

That list is (from what I understand) a list of those who bought from Dell on Nov 5th for $442 total (plus any state tax) after 15% coupon (the deal mentioned in the first post of this thread)

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
Seriously, unless you have a tracking number, I wouldn't really trust any delivery date. I'm going to be no more surprised if they ship tomorrow then if they ship Dec. 15. I will be moderately surprised and disappointed if they don't get it out in time for xmas, since that's just a big marketing slip-up and I will be legitimately annoyed if they don't ship before 12/31, since that's the cut-off to qualify for the Mail In Rebate, and at least some people likely have their purchase decision hinging on that $50.

Rushmore 2009-11-18 17:27

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
This list is a nice sample, since if we do not get ours and they cancel due to "back-ordered" and people get it now, based on the non-deal price- we will know they got rid of the Dell deal orders through "passive agressive" tactics.

Something I warned that Dell could do, earlier in the thread. Watch out! ;)

Press release states Nokia have begun shipping in the US. For those that ordered before Nov 16th do you think we would still be able to get in on the 50 dollar rebate? Im assuming its the same rebate Amazon and Newegg are offering.

Depends on what the invoice/sales receipt will say.

If the invoice says November 5th then we wonŽt. If it says anything from the 16th and until December 31st then weŽll get it.

Rushmore 2009-11-18 17:49

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
The price concession by Nokia seems odd for a new product that has not been released yet..... Perhaps a rash of order cancellations, or pressure due to Neweggs price that may have forced them all down, so Nokia's channel partners asked Nokia to eat the margin?

If the invoice says November 5th then we wonŽt. If it says anything from the 16th and until December 31st then weŽll get it.

That would be the deal of the century for me if i get a $50 dollar visa prepaid card on top of the massive dell discounts.

Also regarding the $50 visa, I would think as long as you can prove the charge on your card being between those dates, it would be valid, no?

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442
 
:( Um first i placed my order. They gave me some bunk reason about CC company not giving an approval. The strange part is that nokia gives you 5 days from the "hold" to fix the situation. They cancelled my order on the 3rd day.

I called on the 3rd day to fixthe situation but they told me i would not be able to because they no longer had item listed on theior computers. The i say but...but... i have a pre-order number, i have a phone designated for me. They said no.

I was on the phone for like 2 hours with them arguing with them. They said there was no n900, i said then what about the pre-orders. They said sorry but when and if they got them in stock they could sell me one for $599, To which i responded then you will get them. They told me that anyone who ordered the n900 with the coupon which brought the total to $441 would canceled.

I have been seeing who ordered from dell and seeing if anyone else is cancelled. I seem to be the only one. I think they dont want to sell it to me at the price.

Seeing as how i had 5 days to fix the problem, i have printed the email that says cancelled on 3rd day. I am not taking this laying down. I hope i am the only one they cancel but i wont lose this one.

If you can't afford to honor coupons, then don't advertise them. All coupons are completely valid as issued, I think. Dell has deep enough pockets to sell the phones as the final price ($441 + tax). Don't be a bunch of d-bags, Dell. Do the right thing and quit f'ing with your customers. And IF you do cancel, you are complete a-holes for not doing it within a business day or two.

Five years ago- yes, Dell had deeper pockets. As I posted before, if Dell can find an easy way out of this, they will claim they canceled due to back-orders, but will somehow have no problem shipping to all of the people that paid the $600 price. Nokia is eating the $50 rebate, not Dell or anyone else.

Summary in simple numbers:

Dell has 1,400 preorders and 1,000 phones in the shipment allocation for them. What chance do you all think the $442 price orders have a chance of being filled verses $600? ZERO

$148 time each unit will tell you the answer ;)

If Dell is constrained with supply, we have virtually no chance of seeing the orders be honored. Ever.

Added:

Let us hope they have plenty of N900's in their allocation and do not freeze some of it and claim "back-ordered". They would then purge the back-orders and magically have stock again ;)

My point is... if you aren't planning to honor the orders, you should just cancel right away.

I agree, but that does not fit the "passive aggressive" tactic for canceling these orders. Once they get the product, eat through their allocation with actual $600 orders, they could then reove the product again and claim "back-order", purge or orders and then report the product a few days later.

Seriously, if you had more orders then supply, who would you sell them to? People you will lose money with, or people you are making about $158 more?

The only saving grace in this scenario for some may be if Dell only cancels orders from people who have never purchased from them before. Since I bought my Q8200 system in March from Dell. I should be OK ;)

Not long to find out if Dell is going to honor the orders, so we shall see!

I do not think our orders will be bumped down just because we used a dell coupon.

I think once we placed an order our position in line is stamped.

Dell is a huge e-tailor they issued a coupon and those coupon worked we didn't cheat the system or did anything shady.

Once the pre orders exceeded what Dell had ordered they immediately ended the offer.

Dell is obligated to serve us in a timely fashion it was never stipulated in the deal that we would be served last if we took the offer.

I had ordered my desktop from dell a few years back through an awesomely cheap deal I found on slickdeals, dell honored the deal and I received my computer very quickly. This is just my 2 cents I could be completely wrong lol.
