I hope you guys are complaining to Nokia about the botched release of the N900. This is what I sent today:

To Whom This May Concern:

I have to say that you guys have done a great job ruining the release of the N900. Not only have some people been waiting 2 1/2 months for its release but we still get teased every other day that the phone is shipping or that the phone is in stores. The reports about the N900 could not be farther then reality.

If you want a good example of how a phone should be released just look at the Apple iPhone or the Motorola Droid. The phones were announced shortly before their release and there was a lot of hype about them. Once the release date came along, the phones actually appeared in stores and people were actually able to buy them.

You guys have been stringing people along for months and its seriously uncool. Its irrelevant to me what it takes for you to release the N900 as long and the messages you put out are clear and honest.

I am a frequent reader of blogs related to Maemo and the N900 and people are pissed off. Some people have canceled their orders and others have just given up and gotten another phone.

Sincerely,

MT

Ive been waiting for two months and i'm not waiting until December or January or February. I have owned Nokias for over ten years and this has put me off for life. They just can't be trusted and have zero customer care.

Another nokia customer lost due to their incompetence.

At least we're finally getting some communitcation out of them about what's happening but still im not impressed. I'm really rather skeptical about this 3rd of december story. I really wont be surprised if it gets to december and there's another email sent along the same lines except with somewhere in january as the date.

they can try that and ill bloody fkin kill them, seriously...it's like torture to wake up every day feeling like a fool checking their website and calling to stores not getting a simple answer....as if that 2 months delay wasn't enough...if they said in the beginning "we will ship in late november", i would be fine now...but after all that sh*t we had to go through, i dont think those clowns realize they should value those who stayed alive uptil now and are still waiting for their device...many people are...but if they don't give it to us by next friday, heads are gonna roll, literally

From another email they sent out, the phones are apparently on their way from Finland. It seems that it takes approximately 13 days to move phones from one European country to another. Honestly, I could walk there and back in that time and pick up my N900...

I have not yet received the email from nokia retail, despite switching to them. Should I be worried, or is it just a matter of time?

Agreed. I am seriously considering canceling and ordering something else. If I had KNOWN it would be delayed back in early October I would feel differently. This is seriously starting to throw my plans out of wack, and I'm not the only one.

NOT a good look Nokia, NOT a good look.
