The :D in that link is an unnecessary extra, I believe :)

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

nokia have been saying end of october the last three weeks but nobody took any notice and started posting made up dates from 3rd party sites

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

Its actually been showing that for about a week now ... I thought people knew :)

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

And expect it change again when the end of october rolls around. Until it's actual in the post, that date is highly speculative.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

If the date gets changed again from "end of October" to something like "mid November", I am canceling my pre-order and stick with my N95 until N920 comes next year.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

Well I guess thats possible, but every call I have put in since I ordered this badboy back at the start of Sept has said October Mid-End.

Gotta figure with the less than stellar economic report Nokia posted yesterday that they would be keen to get something out and drive some sales.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

They kept on saying mid oct now End of oct.... I wouldn't be surprise
if they change the release date.. again.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

the last month they always said mid-end of october not one then the other

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

See I am getting sick of comments like that. At NO STAGE did Nokia officially announce Mid Oct. They simply said Select markets in October. Well here we are in October and they are saying end of October.

Look I want my phone as much as the next guy, and if they get to the end of October and the date moves out into Nov well then I will consider canceling and adopting a wait and see attitude. But until that happens Nokia is sticking to the letter of the law, so to speak, and releasing it in select markets in October.

If you called NOKIA custumer service you prolly get MID OCT answered
to you.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

I have done that - and I did, but I take everything said by sales people with a very large grain of salt. They sell phones - not set company policy. In addition I always got

"Mid October possibly, not set in stone"

I feel like an abused woman that stands by her man

ha ha ha! OMG i laughed so hard when i read this... i was just skimming to see what that latest was and you so caught me off guard dude:p.... well if thats the case then we all cant use the i was asking for it by naggin excuse when...

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

I think the "select market" for October was Maemo Summit! :D

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

Have you been, by any chance, called mullf in your previous life ? :D

Re: It's official. N900 to ship end of October
 

I am one of those who misunderstood a date supplied by a Nokia representative.

I was told there would be no problem with devices being ready by the Maemo Summit, which they were. I didn't know about Nokia's plan to lend 300 devices to summit attendees so I interpreted the remark as meaning "Nokia will have plenty of devices ready by Oct 9 when we launch." (Italics are my interpolated conclusion.)

I didn't realize there would be any reason to have lots of devices ready except for launching. Apart from that, Nokia has been consistent in saying only the N900 would be released "by the end of October."

I offer my apologies to the Maemo Community for introducing this confusion and also my apologies to Nokia for making it seem the company had been anything other than consistent in its indication of dates.

Mea culpa. To make amends for my transgression, I promise to adopt the motto promulgated by Gregg Easterbrook at TMQ: All predictions wrong or your money back. Disappointed community members can collect at any Maemo gathering.

Re: Its official. N900 to ship end of october
 

@RogerS - Don't harsh yourself dude....that's an entirely understandable conclusion given what you knew at the time.
