I just contacted Newegg, they didn't even know Nokia announced they're shipping info like over 10 hours ago. They even said that Nokia told them to delay it till the 30th .

Anyway, once I linked them to the press, they said they'll forward it to their purchasing department. So, if enough of us that pre-ordered from Newegg pester them about the phone and give them the link to the press, we might actually get it early .

To be honest, I might cancel my pre-order and just buy it at the flagship store if they have it first. But of course, I'll wait till next Wednesday to make the decision.

The reason why MPD is getting the N900s about 2 weeks earlier than newegg/play/amazon etc is because they are the operator of the Official Nokia Retail Stores in the UK, so obviously have closer links to the company. I think 30th Nov is standard for other websites, heck even play.com the biggest website to be stocking the thing in the UK is saying 30/11

Newegg are telling me that the date was pushed by Nokia. Which begs the question WHAT THE ****?

We get an official launch finally and then immediately a 2 week delay on actual units being in anyones hands.

Seems a little bait and switch like to me. I have seen better launches than this I have to say.

i agree but they say the phones destined for good things which means in time it could be great but with very little for the n900 at the minute theres definatly been better launches

Its so nokias official stores can release first

Well it could be two things..

1) Nokia wasn't sure themselves so they decided to tell everyone put the date as 30th just in case.

2) Nokia intends to ship to 3rd party retailers around the 30th.

If it's the second, well that's a dangerous game they're playing burning goodwill like this. Even I'm starting to get irritated at them about it.

Got a way to reach someone with a clue? I called last week and got someone who was basically a yes man. What number did you call? Also, did you get an idea of if they had stock or when they were getting stock?
