Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

not in the uk there wont because we dont even ****ing have them yet and dont have til the 3rd of december and im phonless cause my contract ended Nokia = AS5 holes

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I am not so sure many in the US will have theirs either. Based on a summary of channel responses to customers, the intitial shipments will not fill demand, so Nokia direct channels get them first.

I would say most of us in all countries will see them in December. Just my bet. Droid needs to go back on December 12th, so still have time to enjoy the 3G :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

This seems like the Vista launch from MS. I wonder if Maemo 6 will be what Windows 7 has been for Vista.

By the way I never had trouble with Vista...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

So basically Nokia is delaying the N900 to countries with the 3 network issue and not even bothering to tell us...... If the italians who don't have this issue definatly get theirs first Nokia are a lying scheaming bunch of F**k wits who can eat my arse.
LAST POST.........................

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

makes no sense though i ordered in september and then recieved an email saying i would be first batch........................... oh yeah i forgot uk didnt get any oooops

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

That's really your fault for ending your contract without a replacement. How did you end it? If you asked for your PAC code and haven't used it the contract will still run on. If you've severed all ties (canceled direct debit etc.) just grab a PAYG sim from anywhere and wait.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I served my cancellation period of 30 days which ended today but i expected the n900 in october. but yes it my fault

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Screw that, show me pictures of it tomorrow and i'll beleive it has shipped :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I hope you guys are complaining to Nokia about the botched release of the N900. This is what I sent today:

To Whom This May Concern:

I have to say that you guys have done a great job ruining the release of the N900. Not only have some people been waiting 2 1/2 months for its release but we still get teased every other day that the phone is shipping or that the phone is in stores. The reports about the N900 could not be farther then reality.

If you want a good example of how a phone should be released just look at the Apple iPhone or the Motorola Droid. The phones were announced shortly before their release and there was a lot of hype about them. Once the release date came along, the phones actually appeared in stores and people were actually able to buy them.

You guys have been stringing people along for months and its seriously uncool. Its irrelevant to me what it takes for you to release the N900 as long and the messages you put out are clear and honest.

I am a frequent reader of blogs related to Maemo and the N900 and people are pissed off. Some people have canceled their orders and others have just given up and gotten another phone.

Sincerely,

MT

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Ive been waiting for two months and i'm not waiting until December or January or February. I have owned Nokias for over ten years and this has put me off for life. They just can't be trusted and have zero customer care.

Another nokia customer lost due to their incompetence.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Unfortunately, I've just received this e-mail :/



Dear Customer

We’re sorry to again advise you that the N900 has been delayed. There is however good news - Nokia have advised that we will receive stock into our Nokia Retail stores to allow us to dispatch your N900 on the 3rd December. Please accept our sincere apologies for this further delay which is out of our control, and be assured that you are on a priority list for dispatch of a Nokia N900 as soon as it becomes available.

Nokia Retail stores and Nokia online are the only place that the N900 is currently available on a pay monthly contract. For more details of the Nokia N900 please visit our new Nokia Retail website www.nokiaretail.co.uk

I thought UK was supposed to received their N900's next week... what happened to that???!!!!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Easy - Nokia is fkced up in the head. If i won't have my N900 next Saturday, they are in for a little surprise from me and may brazilian machete. Kill them all!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

At least we're finally getting some communitcation out of them about what's happening but still im not impressed. I'm really rather skeptical about this 3rd of december story. I really wont be surprised if it gets to december and there's another email sent along the same lines except with somewhere in january as the date.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

they can try that and ill bloody fkin kill them, seriously...it's like torture to wake up every day feeling like a fool checking their website and calling to stores not getting a simple answer....as if that 2 months delay wasn't enough...if they said in the beginning "we will ship in late november", i would be fine now...but after all that sh*t we had to go through, i dont think those clowns realize they should value those who stayed alive uptil now and are still waiting for their device...many people are...but if they don't give it to us by next friday, heads are gonna roll, literally

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

From another email they sent out, the phones are apparently on their way from Finland. It seems that it takes approximately 13 days to move phones from one European country to another. Honestly, I could walk there and back in that time and pick up my N900...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I have not yet received the email from nokia retail, despite switching to them. Should I be worried, or is it just a matter of time?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

If you ordered sim free , then no problem .

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Agreed. I am seriously considering canceling and ordering something else. If I had KNOWN it would be delayed back in early October I would feel differently. This is seriously starting to throw my plans out of wack, and I'm not the only one. :mad: :mad: :mad:

NOT a good look Nokia, NOT a good look. :mad:

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Come on people, it's JUST a phone. Don't make it the bane of your existance!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Oh yes, I ordered sim-free. Will that speed things up?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I recieved the email right after sending MPD a messge on their website asking about my order so maybe they wont always contact you unless you contact them first. Worth a try!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Sim free come first normally but with this handset who knows .

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

All the retailers have the same date. They are allowed to hand the device over to the customer on 4th of december the latest. So that is why this date. Nokia flagship store's and online stores have the exclusivity to sell the n900 until that date.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Does this apply to MPD? Aren't they the people who run Nokia Retail?
Damn

Edit - just checked my mail, I have had the same email - not great but at least I know now that MPD will get me my phone for the 4th Dec - thats another 2 weeks :mad:

We can ask Tarantino to do a new film ... like

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Yes, it is JUST a phone. It is a TOOL that I was planning on utilizing to make it easier for me to accomplish certain tasks. Now I'm without the tool I was expecting, and I did not purchase a substitute device to tide me over until.... until.... well who really knows when. Back in October I would have been in the position to pick up something. Now, not so much. So I'm getting more and more peeved.

Is that really SO HARD to understand?

I NEVER said it was the bane of my existence. But Nokia is losing goodwill with this continual botched launch. And the Nokia apologists are not making things better by suggesting we're a bunch of fools for expecting more from Nokia and that the way they're doing this launch is a GOOD thing. :rolleyes:

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Everyone, please keep N900 delivery-related posts in this one thread.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Sorry guys, but Nokia wants to give the phones on the same time for all the first priority countries. Nokia Finland said that it will be in the Flagshipstore in 27. of this month, and the preordered phones from webstore will be shipped in next week. Retailers however can start their selling in 4th of december, so the place where I ordered my phone (Saunalahti, operator) will ship the phones in 3th.

Don't lose your nerves guys. It's here, soon, in couple of weeks... :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Hi Simoen

You say that Nokia Finland will release the N900 for their flagship stores to sell on 27th Nov. Do you have a source for this?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I remember seeing a post about this, so I apologize for the repetition.

If you have pre-ordered from NokiaUSA, give them a call, they claim they're trying to call all people who have pre-ordered. They have changed e-commerce something or other and need to redo the orders. The protection plan is now $49.99, $1 1-3 day shipping, and you can get either the bluetooth headset that was originally included OR %15 discount. Protection plan + shipping + %15 discount + tax for me was around $628. I didn't mind that so much, but 2 of my credit cards were declined (my bank says they're OK) and they refused to try a 3rd one, because after the 3rd decline you get flagged as a fraudulent customer. I told them to cancel everything a shove it, now I have to order from someone else and won't be getting it for a while :mad:

Nok stock and smoking N900s

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Except that thread is about the N900 allegedly shipping. ("N900 deliveries have now started!!")

This thread is about it actually not.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think they send email in the order they received the preorder

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Maybe we should have a thread Waiting & raging

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I think the 2 or 3 Wingnut threads we have are enough!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

come on...no company in the world will do that...they will select all the people who pre-ordered and send all of them the mail at one time and not pick and choose...
