What crap is this? I am a CONSUMER. Not a delivery process guru. When a large, experienced company like Nokia makes a press release stating N900 HAS STARTED SHIPPING ) I dont expect to have to take shipping issues, freight management, the weather, the mood of the Sun God Ra, the alignment of the planets or whatever else in to account. When my local supermarket tells me it has my favourite brand of cheese selling at 40% cheaper than normal, I do not wish to turn up to by the cheese to be given a pamphlet, detailing the overnight dairy market fluctuations since the offer had been announced, resulting in a reduced reduction, that may fluctuate further still before I make it to the checkout to pay for it. Keep your pseudo-industry knowledge to yourself or tell it to someone who remotely gives a ****. And if you think Nokia havent made a definite date "in case the world blows up" I guess we see your statements for the silly nonsense they are.
