Bummer, I'm going to London and really would love to test N900 out there how about other Nokia stores in London? Can someone confirm they're not demoed there?

OTOH makes sense not to demo a prototype since it isn't the final product.

that's interesting, because i went to NY flagship store just last week to check out the N900 since i pre-ordered it from amazon, but the rep there told me that they don't have the n900 out for people to play with anymore. so she took me upstairs where they had it locked behind a glass window. So basically, i cud just see the damn thing, but didn't get to touch/feel the phone. Was really disappointed with that, because i really wanted to feel the phone and what-not...but i guess its not just at nokia usa flagship store, its internationally.

Now i don't feel all that bad :P

Sorry I wasn't able to go to the store.. we arrived pretty late and got delayed by the Regent's Festival that was running in, guess, Regent Street.

I think calling before planning would be wise.

New York Nokia Store has now the N900 behind class only. No hands on any more.

Too many people hacking away at it perhaps?

this could be one possibility. xterm + announced method to gain root + über 1337 hacker isn't a good mix

announced method:

the flagship store in chicago has a facebook and they just uploaded an hour ago more pictures of the n900 which is in their store and they said it's coming soon along with n97 mini. this is killing me! can't wait to have this phone

daily (or hourly? or after each customer?) firmware reflash is in order

Relax its ok you'll soon have it . I know the feeling though - I'm looking forward to running multiple browser windows with Internet Radio running in the background. N810 does this but slows on open of multiple browser windows / flash etc.

The nerds were getting it all sticky.
