I then asked why my order details screen on their website said ship qty: 0 and backordered: 0. She repeated robotically that the only information they have is that pre-orders will be shipped by 19th Nov.

Well thats my contribution. I'm seriously holding back at having a rant at call-centre operators but what are you gonna do?
Nokia said they are shipping the units from the factory in Korea to distributors. The distributors will send it to the people who ordered from them when they get a batch of units(nov 19 in your case). It's not like there's someone at the end of the product line in the factory scribbling people's home addresses to the packages as they come and then dropping them in a mailbox. Patience, you will get yours.

However, according to Mobil's quote, Klas Ström said they would probably delay the delivery, so it is not definite. I can understand they do not want to deliver to Three customers and I see it is a problem since they can't in all cases know which customers have which operator..
One thing about operators is that phones do not need to have it in their product lines until its fully approved by them. Tre(3) can opt out to from not having it as part of their product line. Why should other operators/customers have to suffer the delay when it has been approved for use on their network. Personally, a bad call on Nokia Sweden side. Lets hope the "probable" delay is only just that! "probable".
By the way did anybody attend that chat with Nokia Sweden on the Mobil.se site and what was the outcome of that chat session? Was there a question about why the delay to Sweden, everything mentioned about the shipping to Sweden seems to be here-say!

And what are you base that on (that it must work on all operators, even the smallest at release)?

I think it so stupid and I've waited long enough!!!

Nokia should deliver now or never!

MPD have over 500 orders for the N900 and realistically speaking, they couldn't ship all of them in one day.

Therefore delivery will be staggered over 2-3 days from the 17th based on a first come first served basis. Potentially a lot more than six sleeps...

I just got an email from Newegg after i asked her on live session yesterday to confirm the stipulated 11/30/2009 shipping date. in view of Nokia's press release yesterday

Dear Adesuyan,



Thank you for contacting Newegg.



I have received the feedback from our related department, and they have confirmed that the release date is 11/30. We will not release orders prior to that date. Thank you for your patience and understanding.



If you have any further questions or concerns, please visit our FAQs page. If you still need assistance, please feel free to email me directly and I will be happy to assist you.
So I replied back asking if those of us who pre-ordered the product are also affected by this date. still waiting for reply.

t3styler:

Mobile Phones Direct has annual sales of more than £100m. I think they can probably ship 500 orders in a day... if they have the stock...
