Per my post in the other thread - he won that device at a meetup, it's not a production supply-chain model. it was shipped to him by Nokia HQ direct from Helsinki.

seems he purchased it in the UAE, so I assume that means its available for purchase there.

Please remember that nokia.co.uk and all the other Nokia web outlets are not necessarily anything to do with Nokia at all (the UK one is outsourced, I assume the rest probably are too)

Nokia have only said that the products shipped last week, nothing else.
The web shops may have guessed at other dates, but this is not Nokia.

Agreed it's frustrating, but Nokia haven't lied about anything.
Not giving the information we want isn't the same as lying.

I suppose you are right but surely the HUGE "N900 OUT NOW" image on the site below, is a little tincy wincy lie? Or at least stretching the truth? lol

Would you prefer it if Nokia released the N900 broken too?

Its not the delay - its truthful communication that's lacking - give an exact release date to the end consumer and live up to it!

Their competitors can - its not rocket science - no wonder Nokia are where they are - its their own fault!

Call of Duty -- got released exactly when they said - just an example! millions of copies sold!!!

Exact release date where? In UK, US, Indonesia, South Africa or Brazil? Would you like all the other markets to wait before they put the devices on sale until even the most remote locations have some in stock? Not to mention that there are several retailers in each market. Do you mean a release date when you will be able to walk to your nearest brick&mortar shop and buy one off the shelf? Or do you want a release date when your pre-order will arrive by mail to your doorstep?
