We are ALL in the hands of NOKIA.

If Nokia were really smart they'd have put a guy on the boat taking pictures, displaying his location using GPS and writing updates. They'd turn a silly long winded shipping process into a marketing event for how useful the thing is on the move.

Of course they don't have to mention the expense of getting a decent internet connection on a ship.

Oh shut up, you Tart...............lol

I SUGGEST :

We start bombarding Nokia headquaters with emails of disappointment about the N900 release and then we may get somewhere --- as its already proved, talking to MPD, Nokia sales etc is pointless (400+ pages on the delay, still non the wiser!)

ohhh beeeeeehavyyyyyyyy

As you can see we are living the slogan of Nokia:

.. even if it's only because of their on release date/delays ;-)

I ship by air, truck, boat and the only time there is a gap of updated information is when on boat- because there is nothing to update- it is on a boat for days, then sits waiting for customs to decide if they will board or not for inspection. THEN it is released to inbound and only THEN is there a status update for deliveries.

This is the only thing that makes sense as far as no real information updates since they shipped and nobody has the N900 yet.

Nokia confirmed that the N900s are on the way, still being delivered to shops.
