To get back to the subject of pre-orders from Nokia USA...I just got a phone call from Nokia to verify the charges on my credit card. Seems my N900 will be shipped in a day or two. So I should actually have it my grubby fist sometime next week!

I really hope that is true. If so I'm ordering mine ASAP!

I would NOT pull everyone's chain about a thing like that. Of course, I'll post again when it actually arrives with some first impressions.

Oh. I believe you, just hoping someone at Nokia didn't make a mistake. Is this the usual method, call to verify CC info then ship a few days later? Anyone else getting phone calls to verify no mistakes on Nokia's end?

Did Nokia actually say they would be shipping it soon? They already charged my credit card - well actually Brightpoint NA charged it immediately upon placing the preorder. I still am under the impression that orders won't be shipped out until mid-October.

Not sure if it's the usual method, but for high value purchases I've noticed that either the credit card company or the seller will call the buyer to make sure everything checks out or is valid.

I received a phone call also but they did not promise a ship date, only a "you will know when it ships when you receive a tracking number from the shipper".

One could hope for earlier, but my sense is that early October is really when we will be seeing it.

Could be, just have to see what happens. But...when I asked the Nokia rep when it would be shipped she said it "would take a day or two." So I said then I likely would have it next week and she answered that with 3-day shipping I should. She said they were "working through the first round of orders."

Also, I got an email notice of the charges from Nokia which said I would get an another email notice when the item was actually shipped. I didn't expect to get it for at least a month but now, even if I don't get it next week it probably won't be a friggin' month either. Clearly the unit hasn't actually left the building yet, but I'm gettin' a positive vibe about this.

Are you guys serious? i've been putting off my N900 order cause the expected ship date is still more than a month away (from previous rumors). Any updates from those who got called today?
