I don't see why people are expecting the release information to come the same moment their n900 hits the doormat.

Last I heard, neither Nokia Uk, Nokia USA, not Amazon was located inside a Nokia factory.

We have been told there will be an announcement when the device ships from the factory. There will be at least one day taken between then and the device leaving the local vendor - Nokia UK or wherever. It is possible that the non-Nokia vendors may wait a few days longer.Then your device will ship.

So... if the device ships out of the factory tomorrow, there will be an announcements to that effect. It will then leave your vendor a day or two after that. It will NOT leave your vendor's warehouse before it has left the factory. Unless you live in a world where time is wibblywobblytimeywimey.

Doesn't NewEgg dropship sometimes straight from the vendor factory?

Shipping stuff around from factory to wholesaler to retail to couriers to users all takes time.

Hell, I bought a TV recently and the very first thing it did on being switched on was a firmware update, I wouldn't be worried about a phone doing the same thing.

Also; regardless of what the release date is, and what the source of the hold-up is, the decent thing to do is to tell us honestly what's going on, not deliberately keep us in the dark with only occasional vague hints to go on.

So who's up for a candlelit vigil at the Nokia factory?

You could collect your phone in person and not have to spend an extra day fretting over the delivery.

Hey OP, how is that 9th working out for you?

At this point, the 29th seems a better bet.

Any reason why they should not sell the few they have ready before the last one is built? Do you think they put the screw in the hole at the left bottom for 100000 pieces and after that in the hole on the right top of them all? This would make something clear of course ...
