the title of the article says it all for me, these dates are just spreading like a virus from one source what you can't trust.
It's in the Rumours section which totally invalidates is solid date title

I just ordered from Dell. The first preorder I've placed for the n900. I was probably going to end up waiting for several months anyway because I'm not paying 500+ dollars on a phone. I just can't.

I figure though, that even if I don't like the phone and want to get rid of it, if it sells for $500 on ebay, i'll still be making money on it.

I think a price of $500 would be a sure seller on ebay, considering the n97 launched with a similar price and is STILL fluctuating between 530 and 550 on amazon.

mushroom mushroom, I think I see a n900 ;-)

I am on the dell boat fellas

How fast is that boat?

I just got on the boat too!

hey N900 waiters lol just like me...

I thought i post this little info, because in all my research I never came across it,

I messaged NOKIA CARE Uk about the difference between US and UK version of the N900. they told me that the in the UK version there are some preloaded applications and ready installed. If you ordered the US version (like me) we can download these applications and install them no problem

cheers....I just hope that I wake up tomorrow morning and check this thread and find that it has been released!!!

It does not really matter does it. After all, I have waited 2+ months for this device to come. I can certainly wait some additional days hanging on my N95. Besides, nobody is really sure if the release date is 11/06/09 or "End of November 2009". And even the date Dell provided (12/10/09) is not certain. The only person or groups of persons that know for sure (or don't know ) when the device will be released is Nokia. It is probable that dell simply provided that date to avoid people from calling and "checking on their order" in the event that Nokia flakes on the release date again. All the other vendor simply have speculated dates simply to attract potential buyers.

The closer it gets the more time it takes.
