Hello,

I have been following this thread ever since the first one started, never joined though because I thought phone would be out, but this helps with the wait I guess.

Anyway, I called BLT just now about the stock of the N900;

He was very nice. I asked him about the Pre-Orders, and he explained EVERYTHING without another question being asked, so pretty smooth phone call I might say.
Anyway, I live in PA, so I ordered from here considering it should be arriving to the warehouses soon.
But after the call he specifically said that NOKIA has been very bad with their ETA dates, even with the N97 and other previous models, so the ETA dates stated are not GUARENTEED arrival until they get and e-mail saying it was shipped, he didn't recieve an e-mail yet, but he said it looks bleak for it to arrive tomorrow without a confirmation e-mail, so most likely, dates will be pushed back. He stated that it doesn't matter where you order from, they will most likely ship from the closest warehouse to you, that has them in-stock. (In my case; Pennsylvania.)

I ordered from them because they are the only company that has really been reliable with the ETA's. They haven't lied about anything really, but it's Nokia that changes the shipping dates so they have to update them from time to time. He gave no word on the release date, he said if not this week, they push to next week, if not next week, they push... and on and on.

Anyway, I hope this cleared somethings up. The warehouses aren't 100% Amazon, and looking through their vendors, Amazon isn't one of them, so hope for that are pretty much destroyed.
Before the ETA's were earlier, but they never recieved any IN-STOCK, the keep pushing back date (Nokia.)

Hope this cleared some things up for people.
