Either the waiting sucks or the firmware sucks.

That's what I heard from the Nokia Store employee too 2 days back.
And they had the N900 locked away too - as they didn't want bloggers reviewing a not-yet ready prototype device.

One thing to keep in mind is that NoKia production/distribution is very lean and just-in-time focused. We always flashed latest production firmware RIGHT before shipping to trade customers.

EDIT: God forgive me for the earlier typo. Hopefully this correction is acceptable.

I find it strange that this close to a release date that was quoted by Nokia, (i.e. October) there is no word at all from Nokia anywhere.
I would assume unless there is something from Peter and co. that the release date is still in October, but there again so close to October and still no fixed date is strange (i.e. it will ship on October xth) as well.
This just adds to the frustration.

Looks like Nokia UK may be fueling the release date as November.

I hope that is them being conservative....

I'd even take the n900 now with unfinished firmware, knowing that it will be finished soon. I know they aren't trying to repeat with the n97, but just get it out there.
