Not to my knowledge... but they could have been first. But they should have at least thought about multiple versions.... just in case.

As for getting it, I bought mine off of Amazon. It wasn't that hard.
Consider yourself lucky that you didn't go through hell that's called nokiausa.com - even my bank advised against using them ever again - I had to call my bank, let them know that a charge from something vague named cellphone charge was coming through, then I had to three-way to Nokia USA (website) then I had to fight for my refund that they promised I'd get.

And think about it. Amazon.com - did you touch, feel, or lay eyes on an actual model before you bought it?

I personally rarely buy anything electronic that way. Doubtful I'll ever do that again.

Nokia was in a pickle long before the N900, nor was the N900 supposed to get them out of it. For example, letting Symbian get old and decrepid and having no strong plan to find a replacement.
Who amongst the average or fanatic Nokia fan would say otherwise? If you came out and said that Nokia was in a pickle, you got booed, hushed, thrown into the corner and beaten.

People may hate that they tried to retrofit Maemo as a phone OS and the deal to combine with Moblin, but the silver lining is that it might be a better fate for the OS overall. Fact is, I don't know if I see the tablet efforts being more than just a sideline for Nokia. A pet project to see what they could do in that area, with little to show for it corporate-wise. Personally, I wasn't interested until they did release it in phone form.
We differ. After three Maemo devices and the tablet being a better product than the phone in my opinion... the phone bits are horrible.

And yet again, only one updated version of the software - Skype for instance - that came with the phone on release. Nokia has to keep companies that bundle their software interested in that platform going forward.
