Is the N900 still supply constrained?
 
I sent a note to Dell stating I wanted to keep my first N900 order and return the second due to it randomly rebooting. I was sent a note back apologizing for the issue and the third party supplier was sending me ANOTHER one. This means I will have three N900's, since I will send two back at the same time, rather than fooling with it twice.

I will also check the third one now and see if I get the same weak 2G reception in low signal areas. Back to my G1 as far as a "phone" due to the signal issue. Who knows, perhaps this one will be better and I will get the same amazing results as some on this board have. Should have it on Wednesday.

If the radio is no better, no problem- Duke Nukem 3D plays AMAZING on the N900 and that is coming from a picky SOB like me;) I will gladly take these three things and be happy in a device that fits in the pocket:

1. Great web & Flash device - check!
2. Great media player - check!
3. Duke Nukem- check!

Anything else now really is butter on a tasty biscuit:)

Added:

Three N900's at the same time is kind of perverted. Nokia ménage à trois :o

It certainly is here in Sweden, Nokia has sold it from their webshop and another retailer has imported from Norway, but most are still out of stock. My order is expected to ship Jan 14, but I guess we'll see about that since Nokia don't want to release it until PR1.1 is out and all 3 SIMs work.

Same here in Finland. Preordered in november, still waiting for the phone. They are saying it'll ship next year. :s

3 moneyhatted Nokia. C'mon, that was pretty obvious. The N95 was timed exclusive with 3 as well...

I'm still waiting on the day I can walk into a store and touch one.

Same in Norway now. Seems that mpx.no is the only place that have them in stock, some 20+ units. I got mine today, and i have had no problems with it yet. :D

Breed them and make baby N900's. Sell for profit.

I wasn't aware there are still markets where it's hard to get it. - I bought mine Dec 5th from a store in the inner city of Vienna, and they had plenty. Funny. Usually Austria isn't among the first countries to get new gadgets. ;)

No dosbox. There's a native build. Two, actually, one for the shareware version (which includes the shareware .grp), and a non-shareware version which doesn't include a .grp and you get them from your Duke CD. There's another thread which explains all this, search for Duke Nukem and that should hopefully find it.
