This is starting to sound a lot like the original Asus Eee PC and Everex Cloudbook releases to me. I preordered one of each for what seemed like 3 or 4 delays on release dates. When I finally got my Everex Cloudbook, it was outdated already.

The only thing anyone in their position can state with any accuracy is when it leaves their factories, they cannot give a date when it leaves retailers without artificially delaying he release from all retailers.
I buy stuff from China all the time. The guy who sends it to me knows when it will get to me to the day. He can do the same with people in other countries. I'm thinking if I'm selling zillions of phones each year, I would pretty much be able to tell you exactly how things are done, down to the day.

I would Much rather have a global (or at least nationwide) release date. Even if it's farther away it gives me something to look forward to, as opposed to checking amazon every 6 hours like I've been apt to do lately...

I've been monitoring that page as well. They don't know any more than we do (if they do they aren't showing it), they just keep pushing the ETA date back as the days pass.

Hi Rushman,

I did mine on the 21st of Oct.
Are they shipping all pre-orders , any idea ?

thanks

Called up BLT and talked with a nice CS Rep.

I let him know about my situation and how I have a deadline to receive the N900. He let me know the ETA date listed on their site is the date that was given to them from Nokia. But from his experience with Nokia it usually takes up anywhere from a week to a month for them to actually receive devices from them. He also let me know that I wouldn't probably receive one from them before December if I ordered from them. I thanked him graciously for being truthful.

In regards to Customer Service, I have to say talking to BLT was ten times better than talking with NewEgg. He was at least willing to tell me the truth and not lead me on. Unlike NewEgg's CS who blatantly lied to me earlier in order to gain the sale.

Indeed! But in NewEgg's defense, I would say that the CS REp is a salesman, not a logistics management salesman. Yes, they use the same tactics as a guy hawking electronics on 57th St. But Newegg is so easy to deal with, I can't really fault them for this, it is what it is. If you could actually reach someone at Newegg that "knew" anything, I bet it would be a different story. We need a mole on the inside!
