Easy guys, have a cup of tea and relax. Try to focus on something else, like programming open source drivers for the N900 finally (or hack the NSA mainframe to get the Nokia sources if you want to reduce the challenge and fancy some well-dressed company for your tea).

Perhaps they just gave all preorders the chance to actually order by today.
Because if they had started shipping right away on the 27th, what sense would a preorder priority system have made? Imagine #86639 ordered Friday, and gets shipped; now today #451 finally wakes up from coma and orders, and gets shipped...wouldn't that be unfair, at least somewhat?
