My guess is that Peter is under orders to be quiet. Think about it. He is just an employee trying to do his job and doing the best he can to make us happy. Yes, the phone is delayed. Oh well. Nokia found some issues that it wanted to fix before releasing it. I am sure Nokia is working hard to get it out. And as I said before, it would be nice of Nokia to give some sort of token gift of appreciation to those that can prove that they pre-ordered before 10-01-09, for example.

However, I find it disturbing that some people here are talking as if their happiness depended on the N900. I have lived happily without it so far and will hopefully go on living happily after it quits working for me in a couple of years (hopefully more). Yes, the N900 will be fun to play with for a little while, but like any toy, after you have played with it for a while it will get old. Happiness is not found in the things you have, but in treating others with love.
