That is my quote of the month :D:D:D:D
...and I'll let you off the typo too.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

All we can does is hope for the best next week... I think all this waiting around is making every one want the device more an build the hype up abit more..

Im going to call in to the Manchester Nokia shop tomorrow and have a play around with there N900 :D :D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Folks, when I worked for IBM, we did the same thing sometimes. We would announce the product is shipping, but we really meant that the product has been cleared as final rev product to ship. This can mean seven days before one product actually shipped to our sell-in customers- then the time for them to ship to consumers.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

My pre-order at expansys changed from expected in 2 days to 16 days !!

Thanks means end of November for someone whoe pre-ordered in September!!
;-(

oooo mainstream acknowledgment, even though a bit late:

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I'll agree with you in part, I shouldn't have believed in a CS Rep who gave me the impression that he "knew" the release/shipping date. But Customer Service should be a way for customer retention not sales. And I feel that NewEgg's Customer Service has not been what it was.

Back to the subject I'm trying to talk with one last guy at NewEgg, one of their community website CS admins. He hasn't given me a answer on the N900 yet but hopefully something soon.

Also BLT and NewEgg did not mention any delays due to exclusive rights. If that's true I'm about to hammer the nails in the coffin.

Re: N900 shipping delayed

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Ok, i think we have good news!!!!!! I have my preorder with Dell and i have been CHARGED on my card, not held, CHARGED. I havent recieved a conf email yet but it has cleared my bank account. anyone else with Dell experience this??

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

You are CORRECT SIR AND I THANK YOU
I just called them and they DO have a demo model in the shop
YEP NOKIA MANCHESTER HAVE DEMO IN STORE ARNDALE:D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Right. Dilemma.


Do i stick with this online shop who dont know when they will be getting the N900 but i am 12th in the queue



or....



Go with Nokia direct in a hope that ill be getting it earlier?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

My Dell pre-order is still "pending" in paypal.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

No charge yet, I also checked this morning and notice the temp authorization had disappeared but no charge. Do you know approx what time your charge occured? I usually see activity on my card within a few minutes

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

:D:D:D

Cant wait for tomorrow to go an have a lilttle mess around with it and get a feel for the device :D

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I have a similar dilemma with play.com.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

The CS people just say yes to anything. Calling them is absolute waste in time. If you've tapped into a real person, cultivate that grapevine. All I really want is an accurate answer like most of us here. Chasing a carrot you can never catch produces pissed off mules!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Paddy also told me Nokia just ship them to them and they just get them posted without warning even on saturdays.:D
They got 20 E72,s today.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

when did you order?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

My Amex card has not been charged by Dell yet. Order still shows in production.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Same here...I haven't gotten charged yet, and no change in status of the order. Still says delivery date of 12/10/2009

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I checked my bank and I have no Charge. I ordered overnight shipping also. Still nothing..

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Round and round she spins, where will it stop no one knows.... Amazon, Dell, Newegg?

I don't know if I should laugh or cry if Dell starts shipping before Nokia USA.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Business account, ordered through dell, it shows they billed the account, but no confirmation yet, still shows in production as well.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Called Dell and they stated they should received the handsets by the 16, latest 17th, but won't ship out until entered in inventory and ordering system, 3+ days. Delivery date of 11/23 must be accurate.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

For all the people who are completely slamming Nokia for a delay of less than a month, and for all the people who say they "know how business works" and so forth, here's a dose of reality.... wait for it.... delays happen all the time across all industries, so get over it.

1) Nintendo: "Wii MotionPlus was originally scheduled for a June release date, but now that is up in the air after the projected delay. So far, Nintendo have yet to say anything on the matter, so stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date."

2) Microsoft: "Microsoft has informed some of its partners that it has had to delay Windows Mobile 7, a much anticipated update to its cell phone operating system."

3) Renault & Nissan: "Renault SA, France’s second-largest carmaker, and affiliate Nissan Motor Co. will introduce their ultra-low cost car a year later than planned because of delays in fixing details of the product with its Indian partner. "

Just use google and you'll see that the list is almost endless. Therefore... YOU ARE WRONG about Nokia being the only company that does this.... deal with it.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

hi,

10th September,

I also recieved a call I was told that all preorders would be serviced first before the stores, i did get the impresion that regent street
store would also have them

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Here's a difference, none of those companies work with an open source community. Not to mention companies like Nintendo don't have stores that they sell their products to exclusivity while putting everyone else on the backburner for a while. So even if a product is delayed, once it actually comes out it's available in most stores.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

"We are sorry that you have not yet received your N900, however the phone
is still at pre-order and has not been released for sale in the Nokia UK
Online Shop. Rest assured as soon as the N900 is released you are
guaranteed to be among the first customers in the UK to receive this
device.

At present the tentative release date for the N900 in the Online Shop is
the 19th of November - but please bear in mind this date is not definitive
and may be subject to change.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I guess you should try reading for content then because what we're not talking about now is not "delays" it's that the "delay" is over and the product is now shipping but nobody knows what's going on. People in different markets still have no idea when they're getting their order.

So while it's nice that you managed to think up three random examples of three other products out of the range of millions of products you'll also likely discover something else: with Nokia this is common to all their products. It's business as usual for them. Everytime they release a product it's the same mess. This is not a one-time mistake or an error or an oversight it's what they intended to do.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Wow really? I thought this was just a one time thing from Nokia. So everytime they release a product like this it's the same cycle?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

damn it, I thought the wait would finally be over soon with the anouncement of the shipping, but I guess I was wrong. I Preordered from amazon Germany in the beginnig of September. After the press release I mailed them and asked If they have any date when they can start shipping. guess what they told me: "we are sorry but the device isn't released yet, we don't have any shippment date from Nokia and will inform you as soon as possible"

So if not even one of the biggest online seller has any clue of a date when they will recive shippment from nokia it somehow makes me loose my hope that I will recive my N900 this year...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

nov 5th with coupon

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Yesterday I wrote a letter to hoh.de asking how long would it take if I order and pay on monday.
I did not get a reply, however they changed availability on the website from "end of november" to "start of 2010". grrr :(

Anyways I dont care. I dont like umlauts anyway so i will order from UK. Anybody have any experience with expansys UK?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Peeps,

After reading the last few pages of posts it looks like you are all in the same boat as us here in Sweden. Only difference is you are expecting your shipment they day shipping was announced. Here in Sweden the day of arrival for purchase/fulfill preorders is week 49 (30th Nov onwards) now taking that into consideration I don't think all people in Sweden will have their device that week. I have a feeling the product manager for Sweden was making a more of a guesstimate date for mass release for the Swedish market. I also have a feeling Nokia is making sure it has the device ready for mass release. Shipping only means that.... "shipping" not delivering or recieve at online store etc.... seems like mass release. Still gonna wait patiently nothing else I could do.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Ah so those news articles should have changed from "Nokia N900 Shipping Today!" to "Nokia N900 Could Be Shipped Today By Boat... If They Feel Like It, If Not We Have Turtles." Damn you news articles /shakesfist

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

~I phoned them yesterday and that pretty much word for word what i was told on the phone :-)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I wonder how they ship maybe not by boat or by walking:D they must ship by plane express full of N900
