Release Date - 11/14 ?

Newegg claims 11/14.


I wouldn't mind waiting till December as long as the official release firmware is stable. I think the recent Archos Android release was embarrassing for the company and clearly illustrates what happens when you rush to meet a release date.

I am overeager to get my hands on the N900 - but I don't mind waiting a bit more for a quality product.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Of course - but you may not multitouch my bride. =)

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

According to shopblt's inventory system we'll know for sure tomorrow.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I agree totally with you, but I still wonder why Nokia should be so cryptic about release date.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I wouldn't mind getting the device already, even if i had to update the firmware a few times.

Btw, I did preorder on the 13th of September, hoping that it would come out in the first half of October...

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Yet another topic about a possibly hypothetical release date :rolleyes: ...

Can't we just confine all these posts to the already much abused topics about the release date/shipping date?

Not that I want to look like I'm grumpy or whatever, but these threads are getting more and more frequent and more and more annoying...

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Well - not being a Nokia employee - I can only guess that even they don't have the exact date pinned down.

In this day and age of Engadget, Gizmodo, and other blogs -- a mis-step gets blown out of proportion. I think they are playing it safe.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

The biggy here is Newegg has the N900 for $560 with free three day delivery. I cancelled my Amazon and ordered from Newegg.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

And that Newegg has a date -- afaik, no other online retailer has posted an availability date yet.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Newegg tends to not post arbitrary estimates for dates. Someone has told their buyer or logisitcs manager that is the date, or they would not be so specific.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

and newegg, frankly, rocks!

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

It has the cheapest price, yes. But NewEgg's return policy on cell phones is exchange only. At least with Amazon you can get your money back.

EDIT:

You know.... just in case

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

16 of november i been told

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Wow I wonder if AMAZON will price match that. Pre ordering at amazon
sucks. I wonder why nokia is not telling when they're going to release the device. I'm getting impatient here.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I may want to cancel my amazon order and go with newegg. Hopefully I don't need to pay tax and their express shipping is cheaper.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

580 on amazon is with 3 day shipping, 580 on newegg with overnight shipping and no tax for il

must i switch again :(

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Mid-November was confirmed just a while ago in the Helsinki N900-meetup.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

does newegg charge your card at order time or when the item ships???

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

hmm so if u preorder from this site now, it'll get shipped tommorow?
:eek::eek::eek:

nope not changing vendors again sticking with newegg :P

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

this would be the best birthday ever if its true.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I see this thread heading towards the last that was deleted ( did your N900 Ship)

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

this should be merged with did your n900 ship continued thread as they are basicly same thing, date speculations

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

i say move it to off topic.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I am grumpy that the USA get it for ~~$590, we in UK get it for $750 :-(
(off contract prices) ;-(

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

We need at least dozen more threads about this topic.

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

Is that your birthday too? :)

Re: Release Date - 11/14 ?
 

I remember one of the first pictures we ever saw of it on the internet had the date 11/14 on the device, would be weird if that were the actual day

N900 shipping delayed
 

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/1...e-in-november/

:mad:

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well, if they release it till mid november, I am fine with that. But another delay would be really bad.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::

I wonder if this is a manufacturing problem, or some software tweaking?

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Delays happen. Not too surprising though. Gives them the time they require... and it's only a month.

Gotta give them credit to be upfront about it.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Well Nokia has been saying November for a little time now. Not what we wanted to hear but another week after all the excitement is not going to really be the end of the world.

I think the review saying a month later than originally expected is a tad rich, I was under the impression the original date from Nokia was mid to late October anyhow so starting in Nov is a fortnight or longer not a month!

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

That will only mean we'll have a better device when it comes out :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Let's hope with Portrait mode! :)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

i really hope portrait mode WILL be fixed.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

We said at the Maemo Summit that portrait mode for the browser shall be made available as software update by Xmas 2009. I guess we don't want to wait that long for Nokia N900 first shipments? So, portrait browsing in browser will be out later than the first shipments.

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

Exactly. I prefer completed device/software over full of bugs. Now we're all crying that we have to wait so long but if Nokia sell us an incomplete product we will start the same threads like "Did your N900 ship today" but under title "Did your new software is available today".;)

Re: N900 shipping delayed
 

I personally would rather have the device in my hands right now even if with a few bugs. Wouldn't mind waiting for software updates since I'm already a fan and sold on the N900 regardless.
However for the sake of the N900s reputation and Maemos future, I agree that it is better to release it as more complete, so that the first impact with new maemo users is as smooth as possible.
