Hell I could be wrong, someone in the shipping industry let me know.
Shipment dates are known reliably. I mean it's literally people's jobs to know things like "What the weather will be on our shipping route" for obvious reasons. Of course exception circumstances can delay things but we're not talking about that.

I am personally not that bothered but I am concerned about Nokia's ability to engage its customers and react to what they want. Sure when you're used to how Nokia does business then the N900 is no different to other releases but it's still extremely confusing and frustrating for the average consumer who just wants to know when the thing will be out.
