Nope hopefully we can see some activity this week from Dell.

I called them again. The customer support reps are really full of *****. They are dishonest and it makes Dell look like a terrible company. I gave them one of the order #'s of someone who has the N900 and ordered 11/19 (I ordered 11/5). He tried to imply that people were lying about getting upgraded to free shipping or receiving their shipment before me. I told him if they are lying why does the order show in Dell support as delivered. Then he told me they are investigating. These are terrible business practices. Everyone is getting different stories and these reps are outright scumbags.

right? they are constantly giving us the run around with all this bull. if they dont want to ship our orders then cancel the damn order instead of dangling it in front of us.

somedude, did you ever get your shipping confirmation from Nokia? I'm still waiting on mine, but hopefully it goes out today.

Oh, the irony:

SEPTEMBER 3 - Ordered from Nokia US online for $725 (phone + headset + tax), told by CSR via chat "You're the first person in the US to buy this..." and phone will arrive by end of September.

SEPTEMBER 29 - Nokia shifts date, while Amazon offers discounted price. Canceled Nokia order and re-ordered from Amazon for $625 (phone + tax).

NOVEMBER 5 - Canceled Amazon order and re-ordered with Dell at lower price of $488 (phone + tax)

NOVEMBER 30 - No word from Dell; phone in stock at Nokia US online. Ordered from Nokia US online for $625 (phone + tax + shipping).

TODAY: Nokia reports phone shipped; FEDEX confirms delivery tomorrow by 3pm. Still no word from Dell.

So after all the hype, all the re/ordering, and 3 months of hitting F5 on Talk.Maemo.Org all day long, I get the phone direct from Nokia within 48 hours of ordering at the original price (minus the headset I didn't need).

I imagine tomorrow it will all feel like it was worth the wait...;-)

I'm still going to give Dell until the end of the week and if the shipping date changes at that point then I'm going to order from Nokia. I'm assuming that if Dell really can't get any that they are just stringing us along by keeping the 12/10 or whatever date in early December to keep us on. They'll have to change it by the end of this week since I ordered standard shipping and it will push it past the 10th if they ship it next week. Don't really want to pay the extra $100 though for it...but I won't be waiting until February that's for sure.

My expected delivery date is the 10th and I have the free 5-7 day shipping. If Dell doesn't ship it by the 3rd, I'm calling and demanding free overnight shipping.

If I'm refused, then I'm cancelling. I can't afford the $470 price I bought it for, let alone anything higher from nokiausa or anywhere else.

Ya, I ordered from Nokia yesterday and it's already on its way with a scheduled delivery of tomorrow (just in time for my 30th b-day, woohoo!). I'm wondering if Nokia is purposely delaying the Dell (and other vendor) shipments since other retailers have been selling the N900s at a lower price than Nokia. So in order to push them at a higher price from their own store, they're waiting to release the orders to 3rd party retailers. That might also explain Nokia's recent price cut. Just a thought...

I am just going to wait for as long as i can because in this economy a hundred dollars is a lot. I had placed an amazon order mid sept if i had stuck it out with amazon i would be out sixty dollars but i would of recieved my phone already.

What gets me is Nokiausa has stock available, Dell is the supposed direct seller than why have our orders not shipped yet?

All I am trying to do is cancel my dell order and they cant even manage that correctly.

Its sad
