shop.nokia.it, since the N900 was marked AVAILABLE I placed the order on 11/21. It was a saturday and I knew that no order will be processed before monday.

Monday, storm of F5 on order details page, at 17:30 no news so I picked up the phone, obtaining this lousy response from nokia customer service:

"everything seems fine, your credit card checked against the amout required, the bill is locked until we send out the package and you will be billed for real. You'll see, tomorrow the package will be out for shipping."

Tuesday (today), storm of F5 on order details page, at 17:30 no news so I picked up the phone... response from nokia customer service:

"everything seems fine, your credit card checked, the amount is locked until we send out the package but looks like we still cannot fulfill the backlog of preorders. Check back with us in a pair of days".

So, thank you again dear intarweb. You make me crazy for stuff, you make me spend buckets of money for stuff (and for express shipping...) and another time again I CANNOT GET STUFF BY TIME for silly "there're too much maaaaany!" issues.
