No, it wasn't. Nokia has always said: October in selected markets.

Hello everybody,

I am new in this forum. Like many of you I am also waiting for N900.

It is so irritating that we have so many videos and reviews of N900 but the fixed release date is pushing forward . Nokia Germany had the 12th October release date and now that is 30th Oct.

I don't know why it is delaying but as a consumer when they (Nokia) gives a date then I wait for that date and I want to have N900 as soon as possible and I don't want to know any excuse for delaying (one or two days more or less is acceptable but not weeks and weeks).

My current phone is about to die and I am waiting for N900 for more than one and half months. In November I am flying away for a month and I want to get new phone with me where I can work/use it. With anticipation I am waiting for N900 and if it is not coming on given date now (i.e. 30th October) then I could choose for alternatives. So I hope we will not be disappointed with this date and it is final.

Thank you!
Regards

The date for the UK is still set at 'possibly november'. I wonder why it's so unspecific. I mean, sure, the SW wasn't finalised a few weeks ago, but it was obviously getting towards a finished state as they have been able to give units out.

(I'm not advocating a conspiracy theory, I'm just dying to get my hands on one. )

Not that I'm going to defend them changing the ship date without a reason (if they actually did that, I'm not German so I wouldn't know - they've not given any actual date in the UK), but problems do crop up.

I'd personally rather have a properly finished unit than one with half assed problems, so while I'm in dire need for a new phone, I'm happy to wait while they iron it out.

I've cut my hair myself to show Nokia, that I want my N900... xD

Now shave a 'NOKIA N900' into the fuzz and you'll win geek of the year contest.

Nokia Store in Finland has just posted information about the delivery and recommends to make sure there are funds in our cards soon. Delivery should start at end of week 44 or at beginning of week 45, more precise dates will be announced hopefully by the end of this week...

Is there a hair-cutting app for the n900?

yes, it makes buzzing sound and slides the keyboard back and forth 200 times a minute

I just received a message from German onlineshop Temeon,
telling me that they had to cancel my order. The reason is:

"unser Lieferant teilte uns heute mit, dass das Handy vom Hersteller nicht mehr geliefert wird"

translation: our supplier told us today that the N900 will be no longer by shipped by the manufacturer.

WTF?
