Yeah, I know, still Nokia could give retailers dates to provide their customers

or then the retailers can announce when they have the goods in stock? that would mean there is no possibility for disappointment unless world explodes or the shop burns down instantly after the announcement...

The problem here I think is that the Nokia branding is being used by MPD. Whilst I agree it would be nice to have an end user date available this is outside Nokia's hands once they ship to the retailers. If the retailers decide to delay for any reason then Nokia isn't responsible for that bit.

Maybe we ought to email Nokia and say how upset we are with the treatment that MPD are dishing out in Nokia's name? Remind them that as it is a branded retail outlet this reflects directly on Nokia itself and tarnishes the brand too. Might make them put some pressure on MPD to get their finger out.

Again with your world explodes theories, I'd rather know the date and die then not know at all. As far as I have seen so far Retailers don't even know when they will receive the phones.

NOKIA ITALIA tweet me... on th 19th/20th Nov the phones might be in their warehouse BUT shipment will begin next week... cuose NOKIA DO NOT DELIVER ON SAT??????

WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED FOR MONTHS AND THEY CANT WORK ONE SAT???

SHAME

If I have managed to decipher your broken english, then I assume you mean: where is the mystery in them stating the device will be available in November, if it is going to be available at the END of November

My problem is simply the lack of up to date information. When they know so many people are eagerly waiting for this device, why leave those people guessing? Why are they unable to pin down a release date? Other hyped items, like a GTA game, or the latest iPhone, are marketed around a RELEASE DATE, not a vague Q3 or Q4 announcement. This close to the end of November you think there would be some DEFINITE info, direct from Nokia, DIRECT to the people desperate ( not a nice word, but hey... ) for that info.

Please tell me, where is the difficulty in that? In fact dont bother, youll just talk nonsense again.

I just spoke to regents street store and they don't know if there selling it tomorrow .

I just spoke with the Nokia branch in Manchester they also are saying that their going to be selling the N900 on Friday and that the device is currently in transit..

I am really astonished that the shops will get it before the pre-order customers. If I wasn't getting the device at a cheaper price (I used discount codes) then I would cancel my order tomorrow and have a walk to the store..

again. 30.11.2009 or before.
