So anyways, I am hoping that the Amazon Manager you spoke to was correct on them receiving shipment.

I disagree with you because the N900 has picked up customers for Nokia that it would have never seen with any Symbian phone, I myself have bought four. I have nearly 10+ friends switching to T-Mobile and purchasing an N900 which would have NEVER bought a symbian phone. That's enough for me to see what impact the N900 is capable of for Nokia. It's also not the "few week delay" that makes customers angry its the Press Release stating that the phone is available yet Nokia has nothing to show. I don't care if it doesn't make a difference for Nokia, I get annoyed when people come here or anywhere defending Nokia or any other company after the company has wronged even one consumer. It's also not only Nokia that has this going on, its nearly every company but people here are voicing it like Nokia is GOD. People not accepting that the Press Release was inaccurate is just sad. Fanboys suck.
Having said Ive seen so many reviews and youtube vids Im worried about becoming so familiar with it that when it finally arrives in my hand I ill be like 'meh'.

Damn, I changed the shipping option on my Amazon order from 2day to 1 day shipping, and now it's displaying this:
The following item will arrive after December 25, 2009.
I hope I didn't just screw myself and put myself in the back of the line...
It wasn't showing that message before.

Lost hope.

Niche product? Maybe that's what they were thinking in August. Right now the N900 is the number 1 product in Amazon's cellphones and accessories category.

I have not once come on here saying I HATE THOSE ****S AT NOKIA etc, instead I have complained about the amount of misleading information that has stuttered its way out of the Nokia camp. Their press office need to sort their **** out.
