Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

Please don't post anything here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands. That way, people can subscribe to this thread and not have to worry about all the other threads. People can get on with more important things in the meantime. It will make the time pass faster, really!

Promises made by voice, email, snail mail or in person at a store don't count. Nor do credit card charges or even dispatch notes from suppliers. The only thing that counts is when you receive a retail N900 into your own hands.

Show some willpower, some strength, some restraint! Anyone who posts here without having received a retail device not receive any "Thanks" from me for as long as I have an N900.

Regards,
Roger

Seriously now? T.M.O has really devolved into stuff like this?

Judicious use of a delete/lock function would probably be apt.

I find this thread discriminatory. It's well known I shan't keep the device in my hands. Not to mention excluding those of us with paws. :mad:

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

Nope, still missing a kitchen sink.
But maybe I take this thread here too serious.

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

These threads are fine, in off-topic. Thanks to the moderators for that.

eiffel, do you have a retail N900 in your paws?

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands

You were talking about the Sony VHS recorder and not the mythical Nokia phone, weren't you?

Since eiffel is playing by his own rules, and since I will never again receive a "Thanks!" from eiffel already for having posted in this thread before receiving a retail N900, I will pass on what he posted in a private message to me, in order to explain how he could start a thread that said not to post in it unless you met a specific criterium criterion, when he himself didn't meet the posting criterium criterion:

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

Not here yet.

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

But he is right. Since the thread did not exist prior to his post he could not possibly have posted to the thread. Q.E.D.

P.S. One datum for you, it's criterion (direct from the Greek, not Latin).

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

Thanks! Without help like this, I would be lost. Original post humbly corrected ;) (Interestingly, I just noticed that my browser's spellcheck was suggesting exactly the same change)


Of course, technically, it could be effectively argued that eiffel was correct in his assessment of the situation.

I was just posting it here because he has disallowed himself from posting it, and I thought it would be helpful for everyone to hear his (rather clever) self-defense.

Not today.

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

Does that depend which of the many fora you post it in? :p

Re: Don't post here until you have received a retail N900 in your hands
 

At the moment, it doesn't matter. Perhaps the Maemo Community Council could add an adgendum to permit misdeclensions in a given forum.
