Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think the issue was more or less along the lines where:

* FW needed to be available to fix the issue with simcards. I believe this bug was a show stopper. Maybe someone from Maemo could comment?
* Meamo was making sure that FW was available and QA for FOTA
* N900 was ready to ship from warehouses but not yet shipped due to FW was not ready with the bug fix of simcards
* Now N900 is shipping in time and once in peoples hands they can FOTA the FW to fix bug.

Can you imagine the strain of the operators if everyone did the FOTA at the same time. It would cripple your phone system.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It'll be like this at every stage in the release.

I said it a month ago but here it is again - people won't know they're getting it until they get a dispatch notice or walk into a shop and get it. Nokia releases are always horrible with customers having no clue what's going on.

For example two years ago I wanted to buy an N82. It was "released" in September or October but I literally couldn't find it for sale anywhere and nowhere knew when they'd get it. I eventually had to buy one on ebay shipped from Hong Kong. The device didn't show up with European retailers until January. What happened in the two-three months between "release" and availability? Who knows.

If you want a Nokia device and it's for sale, then great! If you want a Nokia device and it's not for sale yet you better have a lot of patience.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You think that fast.. so you will get your phone this afternoon? I think we will get our phone when this thread hit 4000.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

My bet is that the the first confirmed receipt of a retail N900 by a genuine paying customer will occur at post 3300.

Ladies and gentlemen place your bets please.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

this thread isnt moving as fast as before... yea im pretty sure when we get to 3k we will get it "finger cross"

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think not. We should hit 3000 posts by the end of the day and I don't think anyone is gonna see those phones realistically until next week at the earliest.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

So you are suggesting that when Nokia was working on the firmware they decided to stop logistics of manufacturing hardware and moving products into place (e.g. warehouses closer to point of distribution)? And more why did it take till now to start shipping from Korea. Who does that from a business perspective?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Returned back home after being away on a 3 day course, called Nokia Uk again to voice my displeasure at being lied to on numerous occassions last week. Once i decided i had berated them enough i enquired when i should now expect my device and was told 19th November.

Decided to have a wee strop again and tell them that i will cancel my order, fortunately they didn't have my accout details and i am currently waithing patiently for the next delay.

I know going loco down the phone isn't big nor clever but it makes me feel a hell of a lot better and it's something i will look forward to doing everyday until the device arrives. I've only had the one operator hang up on me but i am working hard to make this rise to at least 2 a day.

Keep you posted on my childish adventures

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Did anybody check the Nokia retail stores for the N900? There's a chance it might hit the brick and mortar stores before shipping to online orders. I'm considering taking a quick one day return flight to London for this phone, there's no way I'll wait 2 months for it to get here in Bucharest.
BTW, does the UK keyboard layout have the 4 arrow keys?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

If you look at my post they made they announcement 15 hours after

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2295

I think all of us will have our phone by the midof December but some of us before has they can't deliver all in the same week they have months of pre order to fill as probably the preorder fills faster than the production so they have a huge back log to fill.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Ehehehe… and what after? Shouldn’t we focus on the app available?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

This +1
I don't think for all our whining that it will make a difference, I think that next week will be the key..

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hmm, I wonder if news of this "delay" has hit the technology blogs yet. It's pretty much a delay until all the stores start receiving units.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I'm going to focus on actually learning how to use all it's functions properly for once in my life.:p

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think it would be interesting after everybody got their N900 to change that thread to a general one. This thread was and almost kind of a chatroom thread so if we can keep it for general questions would be interesing.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I popped in the New York City store last night as I've been meaning to check the phone out in person. All they had was a prototype unit that didn't turn on...pretty lame.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

We will be all like doing nothing for a week (maybe more)but only to work on that N900 thing and to try new stuff on it...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Welcome back Nitchers :)
No, not childish, but indeed understandable. They are the ones being childish.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Aw, come on. Don't use facts, please!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hi did you pay for the express delivery.


:D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

So tempted to edit that page and add "see also: Nokia N900"

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

No cause i'm going to be offshore when it comes now so an extra day won't effect me, saying that i'm only away for a week this time on the 17th

So it better be here for me getting home

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hey Zico, how you holding up amigo? any nearer to going postal? Popping a few caps in some Nokia asses?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hell no, I'd be taunting this thread with "Posting from my N900 suckers!!!!"

j/k, j/k :p :p :p

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You don't want to know man... Nokia Sweden are planing to delay the delivery again, to December and maybe 2010. Just because they want the fix for the 3 simcard.. ridiculous if u ask me..

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hey Nuknuk .... i'm concious of the fact that people are saying that this thread threatens to go off topic at times so i'll try to stay on topic as much as i can and not upset too many folks.

As i've been away a few days could you please update me on what's been happening on Emmerdale?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hi did you pay for the express delivery.:confused:
not a clue on emmerdale:mad:
i have been busy building a car.:D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You could get the n900 for free here http://www.gsmarena.com/mozilla_to_a...-news-1252.php

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

God this thread has been taken over by "special" teenagers.

a 19 day delay - oh dear. Arent Nokia a company of the devil.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Nuknuk i was taking the piss about Emmerdale lol i never took the express delivery cause i was due to be offshore on an oil rig when it was due to be delivered so it was pointless, hence the fact i was fek'd off about the device not being shipped on the Monday because as it stands i'm going to be offshore again while my N900 is sitting at my home doing zip.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Don't you realize that by acting that way you are making it more likely that in the future it will be a lot more likely that Nokia (and others) will simply not bother to have real people at the other end of the phone? Why should they have to put up with childish abusive people like yourself? They will likely just put a robot answering system instead. I am embarrassed to have you in the community.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

It is a problem when

1) Your paying for a 3G connection you can't use

2) You were expecting the n900 to arrive sometime late October to Mid November and were planning on giving your current phone to your mother so she could have a cell phone while she was on her trip in Vietnam.

The way it is now (if Newegg does even get it on the 30th) it's cutting it very close for me. If it doesn't arrive soon after the 30th I'll be going cell phone less (I recently switched from Sprint to TMobile so I don't have any other GMS phones) for a month. And given how often I commute around for graduate school, my former campus, and work, not having a cell phone to reach people is going be annoying.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

BIG props to you! Admirable and hard working job! Especially hard if you have family at home.

I can see this would tick me off too if out on the rig and no N900 yet. Don't you guys work 12 on and 12 off?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Cant you just buy a cheepie for jheez sake, here in UK you can get a brand new colour motobrick for like £10

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

12hrs shifts, mostly 15 at times, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, and yeah all this changing dates is annoying and worst of all the device might arrive the day after i go back to the rig.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

And do you realize that being lied to 3 times a day for more than a week and being told that my devices (as i have 2 on order) will DEFINATELY be shipped on the 9th makes me wish to vent my anger and frustration in a manner that might not appeal to others. These lies that i speak of were intimated to me not by a retailer but Nokia themselves.

So i put it to you why should people like me have to put up with misinformation and stone cold lies when i am prepared to shell out my hard earned cash on 2 of their devices.

Remember i never forced them to give me that date they offered it and i made solid plans around it, only to once again be let down.

I do regret that i have embarrassed you by being in this communty and sincerely hope that not all here are as judgmental as yourself.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

you work at a rig? omg you are so lucky. and you dare to nag about sales people telling you lies? grow up.

rig but still has to grow up. i mean... wtf, hypocracy here. grow hair on your balls. maybe you are just ventilating frustration from being called a ***** at the rig. okay i won't go any further. not my fight.

have to run, see ya later

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

lol. comedy post of the week. I hope Nokia put this up on their wall.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

none of my business... just opinion...

• when telling people to grow up; you should probably try to get your spelling right at least - hypocracy is spelt hypocrisy
• i believe the term is "venting" frustration; thanks for the good chuckle you gave me with ventilating though...

:)
