just yesterday we were talking about showing a north american map to US students asking to point out where Europe is. Europe is not a country mate. Its about 8 larger regions each divided into 2 to 6 independent countries and the UK is part of it... :eek:
thats news?

I mean't to say other European countries, it doesn't look like i can edit the poll. I guess i should have left UK out and just said Europe.

Please, be fair with the guy, sure it was just a mistake.

Re: So who will get it first
 
thanks yerga, i just rushed posting this poll without proof reading... i am sure a lot of people already figured out what i was trying to say....

Eh my argument about the whole America thing is that the USA is the only country that uses the name America in the Americas =P. So yes the continent is broken down into North and South America (even Central).

But when it comes to naming countries America = USA since nobody else in the Americas uses America in its name (well last time I checked).

Rushmore 2009-11-10 14:09

Re: So who will get it first
 
Well, the USA part is correct, but just saying "America" is about as silly as calling our Football, "football" ;)

As far as predictions, I bet us folks that got that special Dell deal will be the last people to get ours.

well I guess you are an american or one from the tea-party I guess no one else would mess that up even in a rush. (for those who dont know the stereo types, americans tend to ignore that there is something else than america and the tea-cloud still believes the island is not part of europe...)

cenwesi: its fine, its just a lough for europeans every time someone messes that up

This thread amuses me. :D


but to be even more fair to OP, products often get lumped in UK and "Europe" releases.

I wonder when Newegg will update their site. It stills says pre-order :(

Re: So who will get it first
 
My bet is that Spain will be among the first to receive shipments, as It happened with latest Nokia mobiles (i.e.: 5800, N97).

I chatted with a sales person this morning. She still claims they are getting it on the before or on the 14th and it will take 1-2days to process the pre-orders. So i am guessing by monday/tuesday i will get mine or so i think

I only see pre-order on Nokia UK which part you looking at

I'm certain somewhere in Europe will get it first although I voted UK b/c I'm wishful thinking

Re: So who will get it first
 
Ari titled his shipping post on his blog, "Houston, we have liftoff". I really hope that title had a double meaning and meant that the first shipment went to Houston, TX.

The uk is not a country - england , scotland , wales and northern ireland together make up the uk but seperately we are individual countries .

nope.

"While "countries" is the commonly used descriptive term, owing to the a lack of a formal British constitution, and the protracted and complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom, the countries of the UK have no 'official' appellation."

the official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Britain is the island of which England, Scotland and Wales are.
UK is a Union of Countries

hmm each country as its own parliament that makes them countries to me and it's not only football that we compete seperatle in theres many other sports.
we are also recognised as separate countries in the common wealth.
