That's how I feel

I'm really not in that much of a dire need for my N900 (in other words, no business or travel deadline, etc.), but this thread and related threads are addictive

I'm just getting caught up in the anticipation and having fun watching all this play out.

Personally, I do not think any of this was orchestrated on purpose by Nokia, but in another thread someone thought it was a masterstoke of marketing with every delay and small release mapped out in detail. Still don't believe that, but the effect is the same. It is creating a lot of drama and my interest is palpably increased

Of course, it will be more fun when I actually get my N900! Hopefully one more day...

Memphis TN is the FedEx hub. FedEx handles logistics (I believe that may include warehousing). But TN is just FedEx and this is a very common origin for things shipped via FedEx where FedEx is involved in supply chain logistics.

EDIT: Sorry, seems I didn't have the full story. See following posts for corrections.

However, UPS also has a major hub in Memphis, TN, fwiw.

Basically I am going to call Dell - and when they say none are shipping I am going to say - Oh really what about this one?

That tracking number looked like UPS. I thought UPS was the ones that started with 1Z blah blah blah

Added a column to the spreadsheet:

First Initial of Last Name

Let's see if it helps make sense of things

That´s the cave where N900´s are incubated

Wow, nice! No street view, but you can see all the loading docks and semi-trucks parked on the overhead view. I think if you squint and close one eye you can see some N900's in the photo too!

Dell allows order number checks without ID? If so, sorry Bratag for dragging my feet. I was told the order number is an access point for the account and needs ID.
