I'm so glad I took a logic course back in university...

Here's my understanding of the situation and "facts".

Nokia has shipped the N900's (no info on when they are going to hit Nokia stores, or if they have to go through Finland or whatever)
A lot of reports are saying tomorrow (16th) or the following week 48.
There are people who have already received their N900 (some that won from the nokia N900 meetup lottery)

Nokia said at the meet ups that the winner will receive their N900 when it's released, therefore I can only logically think that it is going to be released very soon. Furthermore, I believe the shipment has arrived, therefore allowing the sending of the N900's to the meetup winners. It wouldn't make sense that the winners get their phones, say a month, before the actual release date.

The N900 is coming... The worst is behind...
